  1. TMO's AUTO-BLiP Giveaway!

    I haven't added anything to my car in a couple months. Auto-Blip is on my mental list of items to add to the Boss.:cool:
  2. Thoughts on a street/track rotors

    I went with the DBA5ks because they looked cool with the kangaroo paw slot pattern, and I was willing to pay for the lower weight. Of course, the weight saved is only in the aluminum hat, which is at the center of the rotor. I think I remember about 4 pounds of weight saving versus the stock...
  3. Thoughts on a street/track rotors

    Pretty much automatic when I start the car: brake pedal and hit that button for AdvanceTrac SPORT MODE. I just know that if I completely disable TC, my car will immediately veer off track and into a wall! :)When I first drove my Boss down a local twisty bumpy hill, I was startled by the...
  4. Thoughts on a street/track rotors

    Here is my front brake rotor experience..... I don't quite understand it, but it's true.....I installed DBA5000 two-piece rotors on the front four years and 40k miles ago.... which includes 22 HPDE track days (Laguna Seca, Sonoma, Buttonwillow and Auto Club Speedway).... I measured the rotor...
  5. Sullivan Aluminium Pedals

    Sorry for your predicament, but thanks for the heads-up, as I just received and installed my SRP pedals.Based on your issue, I decided to keep the bottom-right corner (as seen from driver seat) of the SRP gas pedal in the same location as the stock pedal. That way, no chance of snagging on...
  6. Clutch replacement advice

    The braided clutch line is about $60.... so might as well throw it in! ;DMake sure you google and understand, and accept, the RST clutch chatter around 1700rpm. I didn't learn about it until I heard it from behind the steering wheel.... quite loud and annoying! I had to change my driving...
  7. Ford logo / sticker to cover your Airaid logo on your intake

    Wonderful! I was wondering how hard it would be to pass biannual smog test (in California) with the Airaid CF intake. The Ford logo makes it look stock!Some quick googling, and I bought the 2-pack on Amazon for $5.Great find!! ;D ;D ;D
  8. Oil Analysis Reports

    Here are my UOAs over the last three years. I generally change the oil when I have an upcoming track day and my OLM is approaching 50-60%; if no upcoming track day, I'll wait until my OLM is approaching 40-45%. My highest lead was 7ppm (once), and that was with 5592 miles and three track days...
  9. OBDII adapters

    Here is a two-year-old forum posting from the author of RaceChrono -- which is the track app I use on my Galaxy S5 -- regarding different OBD-II readers. Based on the findings, I purchased the "China Blue"... which has worked flawlessly.There is a "China White" and a larger "China Black"...
  10. Do you think my dealer has been filling my Boss with 8 qt of oil for 2 years?

    One possibility is that they changed only the oil, but didn't change the filter. Then 8 quarts would get you back up to the max mark. :o :o
  11. Over axle pipes

    Just what I needed to hear! Order placed. Thanks!!! :) :) :) :)
  12. Over axle pipes

    Thanks for the pointer, but I will be at the Indy 500 that weekend!I'm in San Jose, and I met Grant in the paddock at Laguna Seca. I think it was with Hooked On Driving -- either March or May 2014 (or maybe even September 2013) -- since TrackMasters-Racing is avoiding Laguna Seca due to the...
  13. Over axle pipes

    Will the GT500 axle-backs pass 90dB sound limit at Laguna Seca Raceway?The LMR axle-back comparison is awesome! The table says the GT500 axle-backs (M-5230-MGTCA1) are about 10-15dB louder than stock. In particular, full rev is listed as 100.6dB, compared to the stock 91dB.Has anyone passed...
  14. Fog light Mesh inserts

    This is what my $2.98 Gutter Guard from Lowes looked like:At present, just press-fit in there. A couple dabs of JB Weld sound like a great idea!Whistler Pro-3600 Laser/Radar Detector hiding behind there! ;D
  15. White Line Tranny Insert Question

    In reading about the Whiteline tranny insert, and whether to cut out the middle section.... I thought back to my Integra days where we would shoot in polyurethane to stiffen up various mounts.Since the benefit primarily seems to be from the two end sections that fill in the big air gaps...
