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

[Red5OH]

Finally! Completed the installation of my complete Maximum Motorsports front end: k-member, Radiator Support, braces, adjustable front anti-roll bar and bumpsteer kit. Suspension completed! ... for now.

Relocated my diff breather to the trunk.

If you connect the fitting/hose to the bottom of the can, it will fill self drain. No dumping the can.

Did that to mine after the last Button Willow day. I had gear oil all over my trunk.

Yeah, I saw that in an earlier thread and may get around to it but also heard that after heavy track use, many never saw a drop of fluid in the can. I suppose better safe than sorry applies here.

And forgot to mention, in my quest to be like my bud TMS, I got my hands on a Watson 4pt bolt in bar - in red. That and the rear seat delete will go in over the winter.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Flattery will get you no where.
How was the wheat juice?

 

[TymeSlayer]

Still haven't tried it yet. We're going on a RV trip next weekend and I plan on breaking it out then. Will let you know.

Well....over the weekend I put my Boss into the turn two guardrail at NJMP. I have been chasing the set-up since I got the Cortex coilovers and other suspension pieces installed in August and have not figured it out. I'm taking the rest of the year off to think about a plan for next year. At least the damage was mild but quarter panels and a couple of new Forgestars are not cheap.

 

[Jza1736]

Not cheap, but not too bad.

Which track?

At least its at the tail of the season.

Thunderbolt. Last session on Sunday. Crested turn 2 and got on the power like I had all weekend. Not sure if I caught the curb wrong or just got on it a second or two too early but it just snapped right and across the track backwards through the grass. It was still somewhat soft/wet from Friday rain but not as slick as it could have been.

Pulled the breather off the Boss for her first smog.

Discharge test on the B2015 Braille in the Boss seems to be working fine. Took 15 days to drain to 12.45V and charge + float cycle looked good monitoring V and A hourly.

Based on the stable float amperage, the sitting current draw looks like 7-8 mA. Pretty consistent with the estimated charging Ah. ~15% cycle based on the stated 21 Ah for the battery.

The Braille on the FakeR seems to be holding up well and I've continued using the single solar panel to float. I usually see voltages in the 13.5 to 13.8 range when I spot check.

 

[Grant 302]

Boss passed 1st smog yesterday. 24 hour 'rest' voltage on the Braille was 13.06V - perfect.

 

[TMSBOSS]

I should have gone with the Braille when I replaced mine. I went stock, that worked.....not. Dead in a year. Replaced under warranty.

Do you still have stock exhaust? Did they show you the results? When I used to smog test my 1969 Vette in Washington state. She beat the standards by a large margin.

 

[Grant 302]

Still stock just discs from Rick.

One year on a battery would be annoying no matter how it's used.

 

[TymeSlayer]

Broke down and ordered some G-Loc pads R16 and R10 from OP here and new hardware. Tyme to sell my spare Hawks.

Also found a good deal on some brand spanking new front DBA T3 5000 slotted two piece rotors. Normally around $940 but picked them up for $660.

 

[Mad Hatter]

I have a set of DBA hats looking for some rotors..... mean time just got a set of regular dba oem type rotors..... dam those rings are expensive ....

Nice price on those dba rotors...

 

[Grant 302]

Took #1905 out for a change. She hardly parks anywhere but the garage, gas station and track.

 

[302BOB]

I can tell...#1905 enjoyed the company...as well as the owner.........
