  2. Track Time Videos

    Open track day (Seat Time) at Summit Point last October on 315/30R18 Conti ECF. It's been a very consistent tire and very heat/pressure tolerant. In this video, the tires have ~12 track days at 3 different tracks and ~800 street miles. They're great lapping tires if you're not looking for a...

  4. Track Time Videos

    Summit Point Shenandoah. Trying out the Conti ECF in 315/18 this year. So far 1.5 sec off the pace of 3R in 305/19. Car is the same except for tires/size and pads. 3R was with DSUNO front pads and ECF is paired with Hawk 70/60.

    Summit Point Shenandoah. Just found these pics from last year.
  6. Ask AJ Hartman - Aero Questions

    The fins on the GT3RS roof are designed to deflect warm air, from the front heat exchanger, outward in an attempt to get cooler air into the engine's intake over the trunk lid.There are a few videos from Porsche circulating about how the aero works on this car but here's the p-car media...
  7. Wheel and tire questions

    17x9 square with 275/40. Tire depends on experience and what you prefer to trade off more, street manners or performance. 18" opens up bigger brakes and the GY SC and SC 3R. As Bill mentioned, USAA makes these a great deal.Any pics or details of the car? A 97 rio red cobra with black...

  9. Sounds like a supercharger and a turbo at the same time???

    Do you have a different filter or aftermarket open air intake? My PMAS makes similar noises.
  10. SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang

    2003+ crown vic(panthers) uses SLA front suspension in an aluminum cradle. They are commonly used for F100 truck suspension swaps, readily available at any local pick-n-pull, and generally pretty inexpensive. The track width is a little wider than the SN but it may help with measurements or...

  12. Strange Death of an OE Clutch

    The OE disc/friction material is notorious for high rpm issues from not engaging to disintegrating in spectacular fashion. This is my second OE disc. The exedy replacement has been flawless.
  13. P061B - Limb mode at full throttle in 4th / 5th gear only

    If the re-flash isn't successful, does it have a catch can? Have you checked the intake tract and maf for oil/residue? Not sure when/if 2016 got the revised valve cover baffle but it may be oil on the maf. The early baffle design can retain oil at high rpm/g and some of that oil can move to...
