    The Scoop on Snopes

    I tried to "snopes" this but they haven't reviewed it yet. Until then I will not have an opinion. (Sorry, I just couldn't resist a good sarcastic remark):cheers

    Stillen front splitter and rear diffuser

    Same thing really...Both of these parts are designed to increase the downforce on your car. I don't think increased downforce is what your after.

    Stillen front splitter and rear diffuser

    I just spoke with Steve and he agreed that for a 1 mile event the front splitter would slow you down a little bit because of the increased drag. It will definitely help the aerodynamic stability but the whole point of doing a 1 mile run is to reach top speed as quickly as possible and the...

    Stillen front splitter and rear diffuser

    I probably would not recommend running the front spoiler in a 1 mile event. I'm not an aerodynamics engineer but it would make sense to me that increased downforce would actually slow you down. Yes, it would make the car more stable but it would slow your ability to reach that speed in such a...

    Stillen front splitter and rear diffuser

    Yup, I'm here. We have tested these parts up to around 160 MPH. We haven't had an oppurtunity to push our car any faster than that. We found that it definitely made the car more stable at those speeds and helped quite a bit with the handling and cornering while at higher speed. For the guys...

    Has anybody installed AP Racing brakes?

    Peak, Have Jason give me a call or if you'd like, please feel free to call me yourself. We made some changes to the front brakes and finished up the rear kit right before going to New Zealand. Now the kit is full floating front and rear. We recommend running cross-drilled slotted rotors up...

    White SVT Raptor

    HOLY COW!!! I had no idea that they were 8 inches wider. That is alot wider than I expected it to be. I think I need to investigate this truck further. My buddies are all seriously looking into them.

    Any interest in a new clutch setup?

    This is a VERY durable clutch. Here are some video's of us racing our GT so you can see what our car went through. In 2006 we broke the factory clutch....Literally. One of the springs in the center diaphram broke its mount, turned sideways and got stuck between the plates. Fortunately it was...

    White SVT Raptor

    Dave, How much wider are these trucks than stock? Did they change the rear axle at all? Stock length? I REALLY like these trucks but I have to say that grill is horrific. That would be one of the few modifications I'd make.

    Any interest in a new clutch setup?

    Anytime you can reduce rotational mass you're helping your car. It's the same philosophy as light weight wheels, brakes, flywheel. Anytime you can reduce the drag on the drivetrain it's good. Keep in mind that this is made by AP Racing so it's the same company that produced the clutches for Ford.

    Any interest in a new clutch setup?

    Hey Guys, I am sorry about not getting the information for this clutch sooner. AP Racing has been gearing up for the upcoming racing seasons so it has been hard to extract information from them. It looks like we have a sufficient interest to go into a production run with these clutches. I...

    Fancy playing guess the car?

    Unfortunately we don't get the cool Focus. Only the boring ones that you guys don't want. I really like the Euro Focus. I drove one in New Zealand and was really impressed with it. Nice little cars.

    Battery Recommendation

    Just got off the phone with a distributor for Odyssey. I have some good news and some bad news. They are interested in offering special pricing for a group buy however their discount is not going to be very much. Also, they only have the dual terminal batteries in stock and they will not...

    Battery Recommendation

    OK, I'll work on this tomorrow and see what I can find out.

    Battery Recommendation

    If you guys want, I would be happy to contact Odyssey and see if we can get a group discount or some sort of special rate. I'm pretty sure that we've just paid full price in the past as we aren't a distributor of theirs but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Battery Recommendation

    Odyssey batteries are FANTASTIC. We run them in every one of our race cars and have had nothing but flawless performance out of them.

    FAQ Goes a step further

    How to gain access to Bonyland??? Seriously though, this is a very cool idea. I visit ALOT of different forums and I think this is the first one I've seen where the owner of the forum is such an avid enthusiast. Unfortunately most of the forums I visit these days are owned by some company...
