I have had one of the L&N filters for a couple of years and been happy with it.

Thanks for the props guys, I just wish I could have been a bit faster to defend the 986S honors, but he was just too fast. I had my car dynoed about a year ago at about 234 Hp at the wheels, so it...

A new GT4 showed up at Road Atlanta recently. Just after a black flag, I pulled up behind him on pit road as we waited for the track to clear. After the track went green we took it easy for about a...

I'd like to have that engine, but otherwise, I didn't see anything much different than my modified 986.

I have a different LCA than you, but based on my experience, increasing camber with shims in the LCA will drastically effect toe as well as camber, but have little effect on caster.

I'm with this guys, except that I blend 2 quarts of Red Line MT-90 with 1 quart of Red Line NS (Non-slip). Otherwise it is too slippery for my limited slip diff. to work well.
