    Probably sorta "finished" with my build...

    I just ordered the MM K member, radiator support and swaybar brackets. Curious to hear what your thoughts are having them in your car. I also ordered the MCS TT1 with GTS spring package with Vorshlag CC plates which will go in at the same time on my 2014 GT. I’m super excited as I’ve been...

    Gotcha on the rules issue. Didn’t really consider that - guess I’ll have to do an all out build now[emoji6]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Great - thanks for the feedback. I ordered the radiator support and swaybar brackets so we’ll see how that all works with my Whiteline bar. I’m using urethane motor mounts too so appreciate the heads up on fitment. I’ll report back when she’s all bolted up.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yep - I have the same thing and couldn’t agree more! Except about the vibration in the shifter, but that’s due to solid motor mounts, the MGW and Blowfish bracket[emoji6]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It’s relatively new. They (MM) have done K members for older Mustangs but not the S197 until recently. There isn’t much out there as far as installation and use experience.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Surging throttle question

    Maybe so - I’ll try a TPS reset and see. Just seems strange it would suddenly act up.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Surging throttle question

    So yesterday my S197 5.0 did something strange. Following startup and allowing the idle to drop from the fast idle that normally occurs, I put the clutch in and gave some gas in first gear to get going. When I depressed the clutch pedal to shift to second, the engine raced up to redline. The...

    What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    Thanks TMS, excellent advice and the heat makes perfect sense. I guess I had underestimated the amount of stress placed on the rear end due simply to heat.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    Interesting - I have the puke can attached above the axle, so I’m guessing that wouldn’t likely be the cause.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    Today I did a few practice sessions at Driveway Austin’s L1 and L2 course. After getting flagged to come into the pits for white smoke coming from the rear of my car, I feared the worst, despite having no change in power... Turns out - I blew my right rear axle seal and diff fluid was pouring...

    What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    I did some laps at Driveway Austin today on their L2 and L3 courses. Almost like an HPDE event but only for graduates of their road racing school. Got about an hour of practice time[emoji106]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
