Watch This BEFORE You Take Your Car to the TRACK!

[@markskeem]

I had an larger radiator so cooling system was working fine. I was having a bigger problem with engine oil getting too hot. I had a track pack so I had the extra oil cooler but it wasn't enough. Also seems like every time I go to Thunderhill it has to be 100 degrees. I also had fluid leaking inside my rear wheels. Mine was diff fluid and not brake fluid.

[@5literyote440]

I’m getting into tracking my S197 and I would return the car back to N/A if you wanted to get serious with tracking. Anything above 7k rpm gets the oil temperatures sky high on the coyotes and adding boost into the mix makes it even worse. The stock 4 pot Brembos would be adequate with pads/fluid without the extra power and weight too.

[@speedtreee]

The fluid you found on your rear wheels could have been differential fluid. On top of the solid axle there is a vent on the drivers side. Get the diff fluid hot enough it’ll leak out. Ford made a part you can attach to prevent the fluid going everywhere.

My track build s197 I use ebc yellow stuff with power stop rotors (gt500 in the back w/ steeda caliper adaptors) with oem brembos, bc coilovers, custom build brake ducts, motul 660 brake fluid, boss 302 front splitter, laguna seca wing, gt500 radiator and taurus interceptor fan

[@tuesdaysimmons9261]

Don’t ever get rid of this car! We will go cruise around with yours and Stella when I’m 60! 😎👵🏼

[@TheDLZ72]

Glad to see you back ‼️ love the direction you're going with S197 , I dig race track setups better than drag strip or strictly show cars it is a Mustang at the end of the day , a drivers car . I bought a 13" GT Premium 6-speed manual in Sterling Grey two years ago , put Pedders SportsRyder Ezi Fit Suspension w/swaybars, BMR Adj Panhardbar, GT Strut Tower Brace, tint , Roush splitters & 20x8.5 AXE CS LITE wheels in hyper black 255-40 zr20 square tire setup. Whish Iist better Brakes , Clutch & Shifter. #mustanglife #s197gt

[@ExUNDDevilDog22]

Hit up Vorshlag they did a full Coyote S197 Track Build that was punching above it's weight years ago. Motul RBF600 or RBF660 brake fluid.

[@ZirJohn]

I think a vette or another s197 would be the best bang for your buck drift car

[@Twobarpsi]

Your car is so dope now bro!! Love the direction you are taking with it. Longgggg time sub!

[@StackXBT]

If your serious about tracking then a big brake kit on all 4 wheels is worth it and definitely get brake air ducts.. i have them on mine and they make a serious improvement in brake cooling. For better downforce a gt500 wing, and lower the car. Rear seat delete+brace bar and suspension sub frame connectors..this will make handling a night and day difference.

[@BritAcrossThePond]

S197 doesn’t need subframe connectors. The frame is stiff enough, you’re just adding weight

[@kevinmicek3945]

Ive used EBC yellow stuff pads when i was getting into track days, now im using Hawk dtc 60 pads with motul 600 brake fluid

[@julez1787]

I wouldn’t race on anything over 90 degree weather but if you upgrade your Radiator fans that should help. Proform makes some good ones that can flow about 4200 CFM from dual 12” fans. Also Reach out to Brian from Pokemaster BS for the shroud he makes the best ones.

[@julez1787]

Upgrade your Radiator fans the fix the heat issue. Pro Form makes some good ones that flow 4100 CFM. And Reach out to Brian from Pokemaster BS for the shroud.

[@payamkhobdeh1471]

I wonder if you are running a 4 core radiator, maybe a higher flow fan?

[@alex-mw6oe]

I get the same code just driving around town also supercharged. Voltage of TB different than throttle actual. Mine pop up randomly even when car isn’t all the way warm and just cruising or commuting. Wondering if it’s something related to the wiring extension that’s part of the blower kit. Either way wish the best and let us know what causes it

[@its_keviin_1002]

Need some driving POV!!!

[@thejdracer99]

Yo, the fluid you said leaked in the rear was probably not brake fluid. Your rear axle seals may have failed and rear diff fluid leaked onto the wheels. My car did that at the track as well. Replace the seals and your good to go

[@kbadboy83]

Okay this video was amazing...

[@erickmonteagudo8892]

What a legend keep up the content 😎🤙🏻

[@alexpena5688]

Buy a Boss 302 😍

[@maziyarebrahimi997]

Castrol srf, endless RBF 650 or brembo HTC for fluid. You can bleed your system just once per season with those fluids. Upgrade your pads and if there’s ducting you can add easily do it. Don’t go overboard with the pads and get something super strong as that I believe creates more heat and kills rotors faster. Your next limitation will be tires. Nittos I don’t believe are suited for road course work. Don’t touch the aero. You are far away from being an advanced enough driver to need that. Focus on getting the brake system up to par. It will be a little tricky since a car at your cars weight and your cars power really needs 13/14 GT500 front brakes but I think a pad upgrade should suffice for now until you become a more advanced driver.

[@maziyarebrahimi997]

Also I keep my ac off when I road course so it doesn’t matter that your ac is broken 😜

[@alexpena5688]

Boss 302 oil cooler

[@BritAcrossThePond]

Skip the boss oil cooler, it just transfers the heat from the oil to the coolant

[@z06bir]

You want to take your time building it? You don’t want $10k of parts sitting on your dining table?

[@JacobRDoty]

You’re just built different 😤

[@BritAcrossThePond]

Beginners shouldn’t be on 100tw tires

[@JacobRDoty]

Why?

[@BritAcrossThePond]

@@JacobRDotydoes your car have the 4 piston brembos? They are fine whilst starting at with good brake fluid, good pads and ducting to keep the brakes cool

[@JacobRDoty]

@@BritAcrossThePond yes it does, but why shouldn't someone start on 100tw tires?

[@BritAcrossThePond]

@@JacobRDotythe tires are too grippy. Sure you will be going faster and it will feel great but it will hide bad driving habits. Driving on track is all about being smooth. If you learn how to drive the car on a ‘worse’ tire you will be a lot better driver when you move on to sticky tires. No one wants to hear this though. You 100% need better brake fluid. Something like Motul 660. Don’t use castrol srf as it eats the seals on the slave cylinder which can cause a leak. Brake ducts are also a must if you plan to do more then a few laps. I can recommend Gloc brake pads. Something like an R12 up front and a R10 on the rear. Be careful running the traction control on track as it can overheat the rear brakes and the rear axle seals will leak. I would defo get aftermarket guages. You will want to know your oil and water temps. My mustangs oil hit 280f within 3 laps so I had to put a large oil cooler on

[@BritAcrossThePond]

A catch can for the differential can help with spewing rear differential fluid

[@JacobRDoty]

sheesh you're quick

[@StackXBT]

Tracking your car is a very expensive hobby lol

[@JacobRDoty]

@@StackXBT This day costs around $400 after entry fee, consumables like gas, tires, food lol.

[@JacobRDoty]

Not even including all the mods to get you there. And the safety equipment!

[@StackXBT]

Yea that and the wear and tear on the motor/trans/suspension=more maintenance/repairs and early rebuilds. Doing it once or twice is one thing but if its a regular hobby you gotta have deep pockets
