  1. WTB S197 Driver Seat

    I am wanting to buy a black leather S197 driver's seat. I'm trying to sell my car and I feel that if I put a stock seat back in it the car has a better chance of attracting a buyer. I will pay for shipping. If you have one please PM me and let me know what your price would be with shipping. If...
  2. S550 GT350R Race Car Build

    Black Boss, what is the noise level like on those Conti Wets? I had some Hoosier wets a few years ago and when I had to drive with them they sounded like off road tires.
  3. 2012 Mustang GT Track Car FS

    I’m selling my 2012 Mustang GT Premium Package, VIN: 1ZVBP8CF2C5224071. It was my NASA TT3 and SCCA ESP track car, and is still street legal. The car has been meticulously maintained and I have records and receipts for most upgrades done to the car. I am the original owner, bought it with 2...
  4. Rear Diffuser

    I finished the diffuser. Painted it and mounted it. It is very sturdy and on June 11th I'll test it out on the track.
  5. Rear Diffuser

    VoodooBOSS,I have already made a front splitter out of ABS plastic. It is a 1/4 inch thick and has 8 points of attachment from it to the car.I have used it at two track events and a couple auto-x's with great success. I'm working on budgeting for a rear wing for next season to finish...
  6. Rear Diffuser

    302 Hi Pro, The front of the diffuser is angled upwards, and I was also thinking that it might not be aggressive enough and might allow air on top of it. I'll evaluate it later this week after driving the car a couple times to see how it looks. Also, thanks for the "L" shaped piece on the back...
  7. Rear Diffuser

    So I decided to dive into the world of unique aero dynamics. I’ve always been interested in making a rear diffuser and have watched many youtube videos and read many articles on the subject. I finally felt like I was ready to make one and one weekend I made a mock up with cardboard.I...
  8. Transponder Location

    ArizonaBOSS, thanks for the ideas. I think I'll try the rear mounting system by the spare tire since I only do time trial racing. James
  9. Transponder Location

    So I'm finally at the point where I am actually racing and need a transponder mounted to my car. Where is a good place to mount this on the mustang? Do any of you guys who use one have a good picture of where you mounted yours so it sees the ground? I've been told that they have to have line of...
  10. Anyone drive in sport mode at track or autox

    There is an older version that I read somewhere that doesn't trigger all of the lights. The issue is that it isn't made anymore and I looked very hard to find it. The one I linked earlier is the newest one for the 2011-2014 cars. It works just fine minus the extra lights. I like leaving mine in...
  11. Anyone drive in sport mode at track or autox

    It requires no tuning what so ever. I have my car tuned and it has not effected how it drives with and without the tune.
  12. Anyone drive in sport mode at track or autox

    It's not a hard install, just kind of annoying. You have to remove your air intake tube and box to access the module, and there are some shroud pieces from the radiator that kind of get in the way. It’s do able for a track weekend, but honestly you get used to the lights and I never hear the...
  13. Anyone drive in sport mode at track or autox

    I had this happen to me twice; the first time it kicked back on I almost spun out into a light pole near the track. Your ABS module is going bad. Ford will not be able to diagnose the problem if you do take it in. I tried and they said everything came up fine. Terry Fair surmised, since this...
  14. What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    Re: What did you do to your boss today?Superhero, I see where you are coming from and I have seen that the support brackets I bought have the potential to bend at the point of contact where the mounting bolt carriage and the hinged bolt connect. I am making some modifications to relieve some...
  15. Splitter strut mounting problem

    I just took out the threaded clip on the Blowfish bracket and bought a standard bolt with washers to tighten it from above. I had to take the bumper off to install the top portion of the longcare support rod and get it tightened properly, but it's pretty easy to eyeball the angle that it needs...
