    S197 Lighting McQueen

    The one thing that stands out with the swap is the marriage of new technology to old. The swap will require someone who really knows Mustang wiring, proper harnesses and how to keep the ABS functioning (Power By The Hour). Expect electrical niggles like Lucas was to Jaguar, otherwise enjoy the...

    S197 Lighting McQueen

    That’s a tough ass track, flat and hard to pick up landmarks and red/white rub rails with up coming curves. After a DNF, I at least got to finally visit Park City which was something I always wanted to do!

    4 Piston Brembo Rebuild: Crossover line replacement?

    They were too short, meaning the fittings did not meet end to end, the overall design was not symmetrical as you can see in the picture which helps tuck the cross over tube into the caliper to avoid damage from road debris.RB Brake was surprised and very helpful, we went through about six...

    4 Piston Brembo Rebuild: Crossover line replacement?

    The Racing Brake cross over tube listing you speak of do not work on F40/F50 calipers, I already tried that route and just finished the process of returning them to Amazon.Also when making your own, keep in mind the tooling to make a barrel flair which is two flairs, small one under the main...

    4 Piston Brembo Rebuild: Crossover line replacement?

    Brembo Cross over tubes are next to impossible to source. I run Brembo F40/F50 Calipers and ran into the same issue you did. After an extensive search I located another caliper and the owner gladly gave me the cross over tube. With that said I took on the task of rebuilding my calipers and...

    Brembo Front Brake Rebuild

    I have a 2005 Mustang Track Car and its time to replace the rotors, while doing so I stripped down the GT500 F50 Brembo Brake Calipers and boy am I glad I considered a rebuild, basically an issue just waiting to happen with stiff cracked worn seals. The caliper mounting bracket is Ford Racing...

    I am in the process of upgrading my CAI, I have a S197 with a Gen 1 Alluminator 5.0 transplant. Before I pull the trigger between JLT and Ford Performance. What are you fellow members using for maximum results squeezing out every horse you can find while leaving the engine alone. Also I am...
