    Racing Brake Upgrade Question

    I installed the RB complete front and rear setup last year with 400s on the front and I am EXTREMELY happy with the way they work. There is probably no "real necessity" to do the rears, especially if you only put 390s on the front, but I think the extra grab on the back helps to keep the car...

    Axle's leaking grease

    I hope so, but the service manager mumbled something about maybe they got torn when I was putting in the springs or the brakes. We will discuss that when they have it on the lift and it is obvious that could not be the case.

    Axle's leaking grease

    My 20 ST was leaking grease on the garage floor on both sides. Turns out the boots were both torn right by the clamp. I suspect the clamps were not properly installed at the factory. The best part is that there are NO axles for either side available anywhere in the country, and there is no...

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    Finally got the RB front and rear 400/380 big brake kits installed. These brakes are awesome! The difference between these and the stock (standard) brakes is night and day. They have great pedal feel, they modulate easily, the front/rear balance is right on, and you can feel a nice, solid grab...

    Valentine V1 Mirror Mounted w/ SAVVY

    I used the mirror tap on my new Valentine. The cover pries off with a little effort and there are diagrams somewhere in the ST forums that show where to connect. It only took a few minutes and it leaves the OBD port free. I used a rat tail file and made a little groove in the edge of the cover...

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    I got my ST in Sept 2019. It was the dealer's first shipment of the new Explorers. It did not have the sport brakes, but I'm not a fan of black wheels anyway, and I figured somebody would come out with a big brake kit. A year and a half later, it looks like we're almost there. I've installed the...

    I would be happy to go with a 4 wheel BBK as long as it doesn't say "TESLA" on the caliper. I will contact you through your website's Contact Us.

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    Finally, some better brakes! Thank you, RB. I just placed a preorder and should have them on by May, just in time for summer fun! Now, how about a matching rear brake kit?

    Whipple Intercoolers $950 shipped in the USA

    OK, took it all back apart - everything looked fine. Put it back together, looks just the same, but now no codes. Go figure. I guess it just wanted more attention... I did not remove the shutters; I live in New Hampshire. They might be useful.

    Whipple Intercoolers $950 shipped in the USA

    Installed the Whipple on Friday and am now getting error code P007D. The sensor is plugged in, the wiring was not damaged, but the code comes back when cleared. Any suggestions?

    Geezer Gearheads chit chat

    Ah, the Geezer Gearhead forum - nice! I'm 73 now and have been a car nut my entire life. I started with a 56 Studebaker Hawk in high school. I got my ST a year ago when they first came out and I love it. My summer driver is a 65 2+2 (below). I used to autocross my Lightning and I'm thinking of...

    Valentine V1 Mirror Mounted w/ SAVVY

    If you look in the Interior Modifications and Upgrades Forum under the Mirror Tap for Radar Detector thread you will find good instructions and pictures. That's a much cleaner installation than the SAVVY.

    Old man from West KY

    Geezer Gear Head Group. I like that! Maybe we should start a Geezer thread. I'm 73 and bought my ST in September 2019 when they first came out. It's almost as much fun as my 99 Lightning was, but nowhere near as loud and way more sophisticated. I just wish I could turn off some of the nanny...
