    Oil line issue (common early (-2016) GT350s)

    Especially if they didn't replace the line under recall, back when...It's really one of the few really weak points on the car. The sad thing was that if the line had caused the engine to blow-up, my extended warranty would not have helped. Apparently they consider any hoses...

    Oil line issue (common early (-2016) GT350s)

    Hey all, Heads up...I have a 2017 GT350R and was told the oil line issue (single crimp vs. double crimp at oil cooler fitting) was fixed by my car's manufacture date, so I did not get a recall replacement. Well...fast forward about 5 HPDE events and my line at the fitting failed in somewhat...

    Is modifying my '18 to run E85 worth it?

    My experience with E85 was meh....mostly because I think the throttle mapping from Lund Tuning seemed to be more of an on/off switch. It just seemed much harder to find a sweet spot and modulate throttle precisely. Plenty fine for drag racing, not so much on road courses. HP increase was...

    GT350 Track Tire Options

    I have ECFs on all 4 corners...315s square. It's a bit looser/duller on turn in than the MSC2s, but as I did not heat cycle the tire, I am hoping for a bit more traction on their second use (@ COTA). I am convinced the Goodyear F1 3R will be my next tire to see if I can shave time off my PBs...

    What sizes are you using? Can a 325 width fit the back wheel wells?

    GT350 Carbon Ceramic Brakes - now available for all four corners!

    Finally installed TBR CCBs, and a 1st event for break-in. Only put CCBs on front. Finally got a good transfer layer after 2 sessions at Harris Hill, so really only got one session at speed, and seems to be at least comparable to the iron brakes. Front end seems a bit nimbler with weight...

    GT350 Carbon Ceramic Brakes - now available for all four corners!

    As I was about to receive my deflectors for Christmas, I read this article...now I'm nervous. Seems the only good airflow, per this article, is in the center of the rotor, otherwise uneven cooling and problems. Thoughts...

    NICE PIC! I'll have to attend one of the summer night events to enjoy the glow!

    Agreed...think I'll go big, too...COTA is unrelenting on the binders!

    GT350 Carbon Ceramic Brakes - now available for all four corners!

    Makes sense...I was kinda iffy on the Vorshlag deflectors 'cause they kinda looked like a costly piece of aluminum sheet with a bend, but I guess more flow is better than less and they likely put some time into the best design. I think anything that can help whoa-down our somewhat heavy track...

    Outstanding info! MANY THANKS! The cooling deflectors: needed in the GT350R? Guess it cools rotors and extends rotor life? Was the Cooltech just too small a deflector plate, or did u have any other qualms about it? Thanks!

    Any news on long term longevity or issues? I'm just about to pull the trigger on either RB or TBR CCBs. Thanks!
