Video: How to install a polycarbonate windshield

Why replace the glass windshield on our 1965 Mustang racer–or any race car, for that matter–with one made from polycarbonate?

For starters, it’s much lighter than the OE glass windshield and, in some cases, it can actually be safer than running with glass. 

Just like our LS-powered Nissan 350Z, this one comes from  SHIELDS® Windshields.

In stock form, our 2017 VW GTI ate through front tires on track–a common issue in many front-wheel-drive cars fitted with MacPherson struts.

The solution? Increase both camber and caster. For our GTI, that meant installing a set of camber caster plates from 034Motorsport.

While we were at it, we also installed upgraded springs, brake pads, brake rotors, wheels and tires.

Now that the Supra gets a genuine six-speed manual, will it be able reclaim the title of fastest production car we ever tested?

Lots of German cars left the factory with wheel bolts, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with them every time you need to remove the wheels.

Instead, why not swap to lug studs? Here’s how we converted our 2017 Volkswagen GTI project car from wheel bolts to lug studs using a kit from 034 Motorsport.
