  1. Unable To Get More Than -3.2° Camber w/Vorshlag Plates.

    Without camber plates you can adjust at the crash bolts at spindle to strut interface. If you do that is negatively effects scrub radius. Sometimes that compromise you have to take. Roll center correction arms will steal some camber too. Crash bolts must be activated sometimes to get...
  2. S550 S16 Mustang

    That bar might be fine? I had to run the FP bar just to stop the radical tire wear.I have not seen ford perf help us in anyway. How they would come up with -12 yet let bean counters put in the dork engine coolant cooled mini-oil cooler is beyond me. The bad design of the rear FP bar and...
  3. S550 S16 Mustang

    Looks like stock front swaybar? You are going to hate that. If coyote motor the weight and body roll is going to eat tires. I also ran MCS from vorshlag so had the heavier front spring rates like around 500? I forget and I could cord a new 295 hoosier on 3rd session on track and those are...
  4. S550 S16 Mustang

    pretty sure most using -10. I ran 10's no issues and I'm race only on 2019 GT. I also wonder about the oil pump pushing oil through bigger lines? 12's are pretty big. I ran 8's on tranny&diff
  5. S550 daytona update

    Isn't it a pretty low bar? Like SCCA full comp license gets you FIA C license and you start as FIA bronze and then you bring a suitcase of money?

    And get EBC to put brakes on that. Better for the TMO forum.

  8. Auto Club Speedway

    what size A7's you need? I have a new set 295/18's about 2 hrs north of you
  9. Crash at Homestead involving the Phoenix team

    That statement has zero to do with post race impound inspection.I enjoy amateur racing. I combine racing and fishing every time I can. I'm not sure what you are trying to imply but If you maintain the car well it very rarely breaks and you can go fishing and eat BBQ. I'm the guy with...
  10. Crash at Homestead involving the Phoenix team

    Last I looked SCCA is amateur racing. In every way I meet that definition never driving in a single pro race nor having the luxury of new sticker tires for every qualifying and the race like some truely committed clubracers. I am the person very capable of handling tech issues with my car...
  11. Crash at Homestead involving the Phoenix team

    Little guy! I was at Runoffs once and in impound the techguy asked me to take off my wheel so he could measure my brake rotors. I keep a 10mm to in the car with me to pull my restrictor and give a fuel sample. I told the guy I had to go back to the paddock to get tools and jack and the guy...
  12. Crash at Homestead involving the Phoenix team

    #1 is very true. Driver's also have to realize they often can't instantly diagnose the failure. I have seen guys unknowingly, oil 1/2 of the track trying to get to the pits.#3 Rob, do you think the RF tire problems in general are due to running under inflated? So many of us run the A tire...
  13. Oil catch can on late model S550?

    Most people put these on because others tell them to. Most have not tested to see if they need them. When I was racing my last C5Z06 vette my 1st motor did not use or blow any oil. Then the next motor needed a catchcan. My next again used no oil before it blew up on it's 5th weekend at Indy...
