  1. Another recall? 26E04 - Powertrain Control Module Software Update

    This is what happens when auto makers and others rely to quickly on AI. I heard Ford, after they looked into their horrendous Recall Issues, found AI being a major culprit and has rehired some of their layed off experienced workers, managers, etc.
  2. It’s time to sell the GT 💝

    Congrats on your first child. My recommendation would be get one of the safest family vehicles made today - Subaru Forester. May not be the most "eye appealing" vehicle out there, but they are one of the safest, if not the safest. Of the many jobs we have as parents.....keeping our...
  3. Summertime tire pressures - what counts as "cold" for setting tire pressure

    For 3440 lb car and running the A7's, temp was around 180 and psi was around 36-38. Once I set the psi before 1st sessions, I'd use some "seat of the pants" feeling to make adjustments if I felt I was not getting the right grip, but the above readings were pretty standard. Loved the pyrometer...
  4. Summertime tire pressures - what counts as "cold" for setting tire pressure

    To get technical for a moment: The rule of thumb is, for every 10 degree change in ambient temp., tire psi will change by 1-2 psi. When I was road racing, I'd check my tires every time I'd come off a session using with a good tire guage and pyrometer from Longacre Racing, never trusted cheap...
  5. Those who track your Dark Horse - what changes have you made?

    I don't have a DH, but did road race for 12 years with NASA. My input. Look at Hawk Performance Brake Pads, they're IMO the best for road racing. As for oil, OEM MC Full Syn. is good for what you are doing. I ran Mobil 1 Full Syn., just because. These are performance engines, not highly...
  6. How to change brake rotors and pads?

    Funny thing about racers...they keep 2 sets of tools, tool boxes, supplies, parts. 1 set for home garage, 2nd set for trailer. I was shocked how many duplicates of stuff I had all over the place....but racing for 12 years, it happens. You never want to be at an event and not have the right...
  7. How to change brake rotors and pads?

    Oop's, scarred. My Webster was on vacation..... My first time rebuilding them, it had been almost 4 years of racing.....didn't know the boots and pistons needed inspection/replacing periodically. Dave Zeckhausen at Zeckhausen Racing suggested it after making an order for new discs and backup...
  8. How to change brake rotors and pads?

    Good stuff, makes me miss my racing days (NASA-TT3). Only thing I'll add to a great list of things to do, is inspect the piston boots and pistons in calipers. The heat from road racing will shorten the life of the boots and in some cases the piston can get scarred. Easy to do, especially once...
  9. OEM Mustang GT take off rim source?

    Is that a full size beer fridge in your garage??
  10. Anyone elses dark horse not spin tires

    We have the GT PP A10 and it has no problems cutting loose, intentionally or unintentionallly from dead stop. Best is in M and using paddle shifts.
  11. Water BCM Recall Question

    Finally got around to getting our GT Vert done. Was told by service rep. that even if car were to pass initial water leak test, they are still required, by Ford, to apply sealant to various locations under windshield cowling. So instead of waiting less than an hour, had to wait almost 3 hours...

  13. What did you do to your S650 Mustang today?? 🙋🏻‍♂️

    Are those the stock 275 tires on rear? Look bigger.
  14. Window Tint Disaster

    FYI. Those little black dots on your windshield (and around the edges) are called frits. They are made of a baked-on ceramic paint that serves practical purposes, including shielding the adhesive from UV rays, distributing heat evenly to prevent the glass from warping or shattering, and covering...
  15. Window Tint Disaster

    If you attempt to fix the tint shops mistake, you will negate any liabitlity the shop may have and can claim YOU caused the scratches trying a DIY. Take back to shop, speak to manager or owner, have them make it right. Worst case, find out from dealer what it would cost to fix, replace dash...
  16. Introducing WARHORSE: Dark Horse build

    WARNING! Road Racing can be addictive......better yet.....will be addictive. In NASA, the HPDE levels (1-4) are very educational and hands-on, teaching basics up to advanced criteria, always preparing you for the next level. From there....it gets better by moving into Time Trials or even Race...
  17. Introducing WARHORSE: Dark Horse build

    That car needs lots of "track" time. https://members.drivenasa.com/events?utf8=%E2%9C%93&region_id=5&track_id=&event_type_ids%5B%5D=&event_type_ids%5B%5D=1
  18. Tail light cover horsepower increase.

    So true. I hung some "fuzzy dice" from my rearview mirror on my former 2008 Roush and picked up 4 extra hp's....i think 🤔
  19. I was wrong, Dark Horse does not have forged pistons and rods

    Forged connecting rods, upgraded cams, and tuning.
