    Best tires and rim size for racing

    I'm not talking SCCA or NASA events this is just normal HPDE events with SUV restrictions. Like you I track my Chevy SS Sedan (Holden Commodore) I know all about throwing 4k pounds around and since I have mag ride I can only run -1.7° camber up front which makes it even harder..... @bbbart If...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    He may hit 160 at the braking point but no way he is taking T1 at 150 mph. Outside the rovals I don't see a track in the country where many cars let alone an suv takes a corner at 150 mph. The bigger issue will be if any of the HPDE orgs even let him in. This is what my local group says about...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    I'm trying to figure out where your going to do this? Road America has the long straight but I doubt its long enough with the hill to hit 150 and you will have to brake going into T1. IndyCar's without the halo were hitting 180 at the braking point 7 years ago the GTP cars are hitting 190 in...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    What rules do the groups around you have for SUVs? Some don't allow them at all. For something like the Explorer brakes and suspension for sure are first.

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    I read your initial post a few times and maybe I missed it, what kind of racing are you doing? Real track racing or finding a twisty back road?

    Transmission/Shifting Stall !!!!!!!

    My guess from very recent experience with the shifting hesitation and shift flares between 3-4 is the valve body is going out. Take it to the dealer, they can diagnose with a scan tool.

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    I think the industry term is "we will fix it in version 2"....... It also didn't help Sync 3 was DOA when the Explorer was redesigned in 2020

    Sent this to ford yesterday about IPC cluster

    I bet the devs were allotted a few hours at most for this UI with management saying "just get it done, we have EV stuff to focus on"......

    Kill switch write up?

    For the few of you that own a Chevy SS, OBDSync released a method to lock the BCM from accepting new keys not even GM can get around it. I see this is a good thing since the OEMs are doing NOTHING about the Autel scanner abuse..... Kill switch, faraday pouch/case, obd2 lock, IGLA/Ravelco...

    LOWER FORWARD CONTROL ARMS GOING BAD CONTINUOUSLY!!

    How long did it take to capitalize the first letter of every word.... Almost reads like an AI generated post... Crazy Guy: Chatgpt generate a story about lower control arms failing on the Explorer ST in the style of a Karen with her hair on fire....

    Timberline skid plate being shipped

    I got mine in and installed on Friday, the person that packaged everything didn't find it necessary to put the three small bags of fasteners in one large bag. The bag with the two screws and the felt material for the trans cooler pipe fell out at some point, all four corners of the box had zero...

    Ford Performance skid plate kit

    Same thing for me, they cancel then it shows up again I think this happened to the people that ordered late last year and they finally showed up in Q1 this year....

    Can we start a campaign to get Ford to make a vertical to horizontal conversion kit?

    Once we get some vanity panels made for the Lincoln screen they should look better and as Unbroken said if you don't like the Lincoln screen get the 8" landscape screen that fits 100%. In the past APIMs were swappable as newer sync versions were released, this time they are going from Sync to...

    Sync 10" to 8" Screen (Downgrade) Upgrade

    That was the original swap, both work the same however the 8" screen is 100% OEM because well it is. There are cosmetic issues with the Lincoln swap that some people do not want to deal with.
