    Replacement rear swaybar drop links for a Laguna Seca?

    Hey FilxNZ, A couple options for you. 1. Get this Energy Suspension kit (I have one I don't need anymore if you cannot find one) which is a 24mm and bore it out to make it 26mm with an adjustable reamer (link below). I would use a hose clamp around the cylindrical bushing to control the bushing...

    S197 2013 Boss 302 Track Car School Bus Yellow

    I wanted to join in here and wish Gary all the best with my former Boss. A car that meant a lot to me and am very proud knowing something I built is appreciated by someone else. I know many of you contributed knowledge through various posts and I continue to learn something each time. Going to...

    Quick Release Steering Wheel With Horn?

    I went with a simple approach and added a push button switch (upper right silver button) for the horn. It works in most situations but if I was going to relocate it I would put it near the bottom of the column shroud.

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

    G-Stream wing on the trunk, hood vents and a custom splitter in the front using 3/8 ABS plastic sheet. I also fabricated a custom spacer to set the splitter about 3 inches off the track and then made the deflector to get some more air through the radiator.

    EVAP system removal/delete S197

    Thanks Hinton! I appreciate your efforts on finding a possible solution. Report back as you get some time on the deleted system. I haven't done anything with mine yet as I have been working on other parts.

    Trackspec extractors installed

    Cut and shaped the attachment tabs until I could fit them in through the top vents and then used the bolt locations. The center vent is less visible but the same idea. A portion of the tab fits in between the inner and outer layers of the hood.

    Trackspec extractors installed

    Added these leading edge deflectors to my Trackspec vents in my Boss to improve air flow as suggested above. 1/16 aluminum worked great. Another thing you can do is add a high density foam attached to the underside of the hood to close the air gap above the headlights to help prevent hood flutter.

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

    Tried out this new wheel and tire set-up at a track day at BIR on June 5th. Set the camber to -3.0 degrees and some wheel spacers to make it all work. Dodged a few rain drops and overall had a great day.

    New Parts, New Whine

    I recall that sound deadening materials like Dynamat weigh something like .45 to .68 pounds per square foot. How many square feet are in a Mustang interior? My entire interior is out so gear whine is one of the many many noises I hear. I have the Cortex torque arm in my Boss and that amplifies...

    Safest/Best Half Cage?

    There is also the Competition Motorsports which appears to allow for a little further setback for the front seats. If you are tall that may be a consideration. I thought about this one before I went another route...

    Fair price for entire Boss interior?

    Hey Viking - The sill plate carbon fiber is just a good quality vinyl decal material I found on Amazon. I need something to protect the paint in that area. I just made a cardboard template to make cutting the vinyl a little easier.

    Fair price for entire Boss interior?

    My interior is far from stock as well so back in 2020 I sold the front seats for $3000 for the pair. Sold the airbags for $200 each and then sold a few assorted parts on Craigslist. I ended tossing the door panels, headliner, carpet and rear seats after having them take up space in the garage...
