    Race Car Shopping Advice

    Haha thanks for trying to set me straight! Unfortunately for myself and my family, I am too far gone lol. I have been driving on track in one form or another for 10+ years and sharing race cars for 5 so I know the peril I'm getting into. Budget doesn't mean trying to do it on pennies, but there...

    Race Car Shopping Advice

    I am considering retiring my street car (a lightly modified 2012 Boss 302) from track and time attack duty and jumping in with a race car to test and tune for at least a season before going W2W. My budget likely would only allow for a well prepped New Edge or SN95 vs a mild/incomplete S197...

    TMO Merchandise

    Wait.. I thought once it's been worn in a Boss 302S, grime, grease, and sweat add value, right??

    Starting YouTube Track Content!

    Thanks Fabman! And thanks to everyone else of subscribed as well. Sorry for not providing an update in a while. We got hit pretty hard here with hurricane Dorian (although our house lucked out and fared well with no damage). I'll be posting the first official video very soon, no later than this...

    TMO Merchandise

    Is there any TMO merchandise available to buy, ideally clothing? Sorry if it's right in front of me somewhere and I missed it.

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    I'd be weary if it says it doesn't fit. What I've seen happen when there's a tight clearance is dust or pebbles get stuck between the caliper and inside barrel/rim, especially if you pick up a tire marble in the right spot. Whatever debris gets stuck will cause scoring on the surface of the...

    Starting YouTube Track Content!

    I've been writing for about 7 years now, some of you may have seen links in my signature. This year has been a great year for traffic so I decided to help things grow. I redesigned the website and bought a domain a few weeks ago, and now I've started getting into video content. I put together a...

    This is why you don't run stock suspension...

    Driver mod!! ;)In seriousness, the platform is very capable and the vast majority of people in my experience, even fast drivers, don't learn to drive their cars to the limit, instead relying on improving the car and continue to drive up to "only" 80-90%. I find that it's one thing to be...

    This is why you don't run stock suspension...

    I really enjoy how discussions evolve on this forum. Whether or not I (or others) agree with other opinions, it's refreshing to see that people here seem to have arrived to their conclusions after doing some critical thinking instead of just reading something somewhere. I find this rare in...

    Brake issues, will a BOSS 302R ABS help?

    I replaced the check valve and the problem is still there. More or less eliminated the possibility of a leak in the process because the car had been sitting for 30+ mins when I pulled the valve and there was still vacuum in the booster. May take the plunge on the ABS module and hope it's that...

    Haha yea, let's keep it that way!Thanks Coz, I'll keep those in mind. Likely will come after coils.Quite a bit of body roll too visible in the second picture!

    2020 GT500 vs ZL1 1LE

    I agree with blacksheep. The Mustang II front suspension alone and its benefits to the hot rodding world is worth having it. Plus, it was a better design overall and did advance the breed. The power was a victim of the times like plenty others in that era. The styling was really its only flaw...

    This is why you don't run stock suspension...

    Thanks! Yea, nose dive is noticeably worse, as is body roll and movement in general. Car is also much more neutral compared to before (was also a square setup but 285's), likely due to the 2.5"+ wider track up front. I'm used to trail braking into several corners on our track. Doing the same now...
