  1. GT350 - Wheels size for race track

    A 25 MM spacer will do it for 11" ET52
  2. The demise of my Mustang

    Never done it but seems if the ECU is programmed right it should fire. Quick search confirmed the V6 and the 5.0 come factory with the same fuel pump so fuel supply shouldn't be an issue.I would assume the body control unit and all that should be fine to fire it off.
  3. S197 extended wheel stud options

    If you use those in the back I believe you will have to pull the axles to drill them out. The ARP extended studs in the back work without the extra work as the are the same diameter.
  4. S197 extended wheel stud options

    No axle removal needed, when you get everything tore down there is a spot on the backside that gives you room to push out one stud, turn, push out the next etc.Just use washers and an open end lug nut to pull them in.
  5. S197 Which Boss 302 paint color is worth the most?

    I would agree, seems the Grabber blue and Yellow blaze cars get marked up higher. What they actually sell for who knows, but they definitely ask more.
  6. Enclosed trailer alarm

    If you could get wifi out there Ring makes some handy battery powered cameras that record to a cloud and have night vision, 2 way speaker, and even a siren that goes off upon movement within a user set time frame, say 8 pm to 6 am or whatever you choose. Siren alone would probably scurry them away.
  7. What's this gunk inside the brake fluid reservoir?

    Turkey baster what's in there out, fresh fluid and flush. Which since you are getting an auto reservoir (I did the same) it's a must anyways.Pretty straight forward. I think this issue used to be talked about more, just kinda died from the front pages so to speak.
  8. What's this gunk inside the brake fluid reservoir?

    I would divorce it as soon as possible, it isn't cost heavy or super technical, but I doubt you have to worry about replacing the throwout bearing at this point.I would wait until convenient but keep an eye on the pedal feel.
  9. What's this gunk inside the brake fluid reservoir?

    It's your Throw out bearing. Clutch and brakes share the same reservoir and brakes get alot hotter than the transmission needs to.Separating the and having a dedicated reservoir for the clutch will solve the issue usually.
  10. S197 Chassis: V6 vs. GT

    Could always watch the S197 Facebook pages. I've seen stripped rollers for as low as 3k.
  11. Fair price for entire Boss interior?

    On Facebook groups people ask 2500 for the Boss Recaro seats in good shape. Of course I'm not sure if they get that, but everyone posts them for that.The door panels are different, so they may have value. Back seats say "recaro" on the bottom but not sure how different they are from the...
  12. Dark Horse S

    I would check with @Bill Pemberton , he may know something.
  13. C8 Z06 engine issues

    I'm pretty sure they ran the FPC in the C8.R.
  14. C8 Z06 engine issues

    I think any "large" flat plane crank engine will struggle with reliability.There is a reason Ferrari never goes big.
  15. MT -82 transmission cooler setup

    @NGOT8R If you don't use a relay you will have to size all switches etc to 2.5 amps, actually slightly higher. It's much easier to use a relay so you can size the rocker/toggle switch to the coil on the relay which is nothing amperage wise.I would use a relay, but it can be done without one...
