    Flex Fuel for a 3V

    @Boone how has your experience with the Commander been? I am considering going flex fuel, mostly for street use, and mostly for the octane benefit. CA only has crappy 91 octane so I can't comfortably run my Trackey on it without a few gallons of 100 or E85 added, and E85 is so much cheaper than...

    PSA: MT82 Fluid For Track Use

    Agreed, seems like they are blaming something that should have shown up all over the place by now. Nope they aren't going to do anything for me, will charge at least $500 labor to open up and fix depending on how much is broken, plus parts, plus $250 shipping back. I have tried both the MTL...

    PSA: MT82 Fluid For Track Use

    5th gear synchro design is poor so those wear out, 2nd gear takes a beating, and the above mentioned plastic bearing that supposedly cannot be replaced. The shift forks and pads are also weak points and typically upgraded with a rebuild.

    PSA: MT82 Fluid For Track Use

    DO NOT use the "Calimer cocktail" for track use. Calimer now tells me that we should run straight 75W90 or at least 2 qts 75W90 + .75 qt synchromesh. There is no information like this on the website or given without specifically asking, but now that my brand new stage 2 is broken already after...

    Setrab 934 for sale. $300 shipped-SOLD

    Interested. Does this also come with mounting bracket(s) or will it need one from 06Mach1?

    S197 FS: Flowmaster Outlaw and American Thunder Axlebacks/Mufflers

    Selling both Flowmaster Outlaw and American Thunder Axlebacks for S197.Both were bought used this year but I didn't even put on the Outlaws and only tried the American Thunders for a week. Ended up getting Borla S Type. Both are in great physical condition, although the black paint American...

    Going Square, what is needed?

    My last track outing at Big Willow I ran without rear bar for the first time and loved how it felt! Went from almost no rear grip and no ability to put down power, to being able to trail brake properly and put down power coming out of corners. That's with square 18x11/305 A052s, ~-3* camber, 0...

    MT82 upgrade kits

    You read it right, that was my shipping cost from Irvine, California! so that doesn't have any customs/border costs that JDee would likely be hit with.

    MT82 upgrade kits

    True, but then you also have to factor in the cost of shipping, for me from CA that was about $300 one way, and that's not considering customs/border. Plus there's the time cost, for me it was 2+ weeks for shipping, waiting for Ben to build it/get the gears sent out and received, etc. It was...

    MT82 upgrade kits

    Lethal Performance might have some Stage 2s in stock that you can buy, may be easier than shipping your trans to Calimer, and end up costing about the same. Worth a look: https://www.lethalperformance.com/calimer-transmissions-stage-2-mt-82-2011-2017-mustang-gt.html They also have Stage 3, but...
