Tackled Racecar's coolant leak this weekend! After some research, we concluded a coolant line running under the intake manifold was the issue. Check out the video to see us handle this repair.

New video of me replacing Racecar's wheel bearing hub is now up on YouTube. The video walks you through our diagnostics and then a time lapse of the replacement. Give it a watch and let me know what you think!

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connects. These are those new-new with a treadwear rating of 240, up from the 180TW of the previous version. Here are some pics of the tires through various stages of use. I will list the usage status for each pic below. The last few pics are how they look currently, after 6 hillclimb runs, 14 track sessions (15-30 mins each), and a handful of autocross like runs at NCMMSP #ttnats. I am overjoyed at how long these tires are lasting and expect to get 3-4 more quality track days out of them next year. I am curious to see how well the grip level is maintained throughout the life of the tire. So far, I haven't noticed much decrease, if any. 
Pic1: Brand new-freshly mounted.
Pic2: Brand new- before mounting.
Pic3: Brand new, front tire specs
Pic4: After 3 hillclimb runs- rough road surface
Pic5: After hillclimb, and all track events

Great thread! I had a 2013 Mustang GT. I regret that I never got to take it to a track and really see what it could do. Looks like a blast!
