I completed my first track event at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama this past weekend, and I was very happy once again with how my car performed. I'm still fairly new to tracking, and was in the Novice - Instructed group, but did get passed for solo driving for the second day...
I just thought I’d share with everyone my experience, which demonstrates our cars are adjusting oil change intervals based on use. I changed my oil at 9,874 miles two weeks ago, reset the oil life to 100%, and today at 10,174 it hit 0% oil life. That is a total of 300 miles driven.
Now, to...
After much contemplating what route to go with the setup of my car interior, I settled on the following for the track.
1. Watson Racing 4 Point Cage
2. Cobra Nogaro Circuit Seats with PCI slider mounts
3. Schroth Quick Fit Pro harness with sub straps (6 point)
4. NecksGen Rev2 Carbon HNR
5...
I’m looking for some insight from those with more wheel/tire experience than me. I bought some new Steeda Trident wheels and Continental EC Force tires for track use this year. I had the tires mounted by Steeda a few months back, but never installed the wheels and tires on the car. This evening...
I’ve been working on cars since I got my first piece of junk at 15 years old, which I had to share with my sister. That was over 30 years ago, and since then I’ve done a little of everything on my vehicles. I’ve rebuilt engines under the carport including using a cherry picker in the dirt. Fun...
I've not been able to find any answers in the forums regarding what notifications and warnings display if you remove the driver's seat in an S650. I will be installing a racing seat for use on the track, and I'm wondering what types of warnings and notifications the car will give? My main...
I'm looking for some advice on whether to add a roll cage and switch to racing seats in my 2024 Mustang. I'm just doing HPDE events, but I have the leather (non-Recaro) seats in the car and am using the factory three point harness. I had been looking at swapping over to the Schroth Quick Fit Pro...
I had the pleasure of taking my car to its first track besides The FIRM. I did the September 21 event at Atlanta Motorsports Park with Just Track It, and it was an absolutely blast. I was very impressed with the organization of the event and how it went exactly by the schedule. As a novice, I...
Update: It was an easy fix. I simply cleared the DTCs with Forscan and everything is good now.
Edit: Crazy me forgot I had purchased the full services manual for the car last week before I did the stud replacement. I've read through the sections on the parking brake, and it appears a reset...
Well, I have officially had my car for one year. I picked it up on September 1, 2023, which was the day after Hurricane Idalia rolled though our area and knocked out most everyone’s power. I now have 8,662 miles on my car with everything from 1,000 mile road trips and driving around town to the...
I’ve read threads in several forums regarding track alignments for the S550 and S650, but I still am looking for some input for my situation. I am hoping some people with much more experience than me can help me out.
Here's some background. I have a 24 GT PP with MagneRide, and I've added...
I figured I'd write up a summary of my experience with the MMR (@Mod Mustang Racing ) differential oil cooler kit install. Overall the kit is a great deal at $699.99 compared to most of the other kits out there, and when you price out the components, you really wouldn't come out any cheaper...
:headbang:Apparently in my life Mustangs and hurricanes go hand in hand. Last August (2023) my car was in transport in the middle of Hurricane Idalia. I picked it up from the dealer on September 1, the day after the hurricane had just come through and made a mess of our town. I was still without...
I have a job 1 GT without the Auto Start/Stop, and as a result the leftmost button on the switch panel is blank and unused. I am wondering if anyone has looked to see if the panel is wired in a way that the blank button could be used to switch on/off an aftermarket accessory? I need to add a...
I had a great time once again yesterday, 7/27/24, taking my GT out for open track day at The FIRM. This was only my second time out on a track, so I still have a lot to learn, but I’m having a great time.
I did switch to my Velgen VF5 wheels (19x11/19x10) and had Continental ExtremeContact...
I think I may have made a mistake by going to an open track day for the first time yesterday; I’m hooked! I’ve never been in any car on a track previously, so it was somewhat intimidating at first, but after a few laps I fell in love with it. It was fun learning what the car was capable of and...
After much debating on new wheels for my car, I settled on the 19" bronze Velgen VF5. I couldn't find any photos online of a Race Red S650 with the bronze 19" VF5, so I wasn't sure exactly how it would turn out, but I love the look. Thanks to @VELGEN WHEELS and @VibeMotorsports for helping me...
I've had my S650 for almost nine months now, and I'm wondering if there may be an issue with my windshield washer nozzles or pump. When I pull the lever for the fluid to squirt, it takes a second or two before any fluid comes out of the nozzles, and when it does it is very weak and only gets...
I've been watching the Mustang Driving Experience website lately, and the registration link just went live a couple hours ago. I completed my registration and just now received my confirmation.
This is a one day free driving experience in Charlotte, NC for 2024 Mustang owners. You can choose...
UPDATE: Below is my initial review on 12/29/23 when the system was first installed. See Post #10 below for my follow-up on 5/24/24.
I took my Mustang out today and put about 100 miles on it so I could give a review of the AWE SwitchPath after having the system installed Wednesday. Here are my...
