Thanks, Billy! I'll DM you.Yeah, Dave. Back in (this is so embarrassing) 2013, I tried doing just that and I let perfectionism get in the way of progress. They weren't turning out the way I wanted and gave up. Even one of TMO's resident fabricators gave them a try to offer to other folks and...
Definitely. Thanks for the great articles, Billy! Any chance you can whip-up some of those 3-D adapters for use with the Steeda wing? I have called around to a lot of the race teams hoping they had a pair in a box somewhere in the back of the shop, but no such luck. Unobtainium. I would be happy...
Hey, it's that guy that does things years after everyone else has moved on. Did anyone ever get rates on the FR "blue bar" (front)?As payment for that info, I will add the following:
H&R RSS Coil Overs (p/n: RSS29170): 1.2-2.7 in. drop F / 1.2-2.5 in. drop R - 630 # Front / 515 # R
H&R Coil...
Slowest mechanic on the forum finally finished the new oil cooler, grilles, lightweight bumper, splitter, and tow hook. Huge write-up at the link.https://jimmypribble.com/blog/2021/05/boss-ch-18-front-end-mods/
Posting for posterity. Finally finished with my DIY oil cooler.
Core: Setrab 48-row "Texas sized"
Stock cooler delete? No
Thermostat? NoHaven't track tested yet, but I expect I will see the same result as most of you. The only thing different about my setup that I hadn't seen before is that I...
Circuit of the Americas (COTA):
302R - 2:22.504 - Billy Johnson in #158 Multimatic for 2014 Grand-Am GS (good enough for pole position and 3rd place)
302S - 2:16.641 - Nate Stacy - #14 Roush for 2016 PWC GTS qualifyingJust data points. Still, I always assumed 302S would be faster, because of...
I know, I know... it's not exactly 007's revolving license plates, but it should:Maybe keep the state troopers from hassling me
Maybe keep the kids from trying to drag race me every at every light, when I'm just trying to get to Luby's for my senior meal
Maybe keep someone from nicking my $50...
Okay, I just needed to have myself a little tantrum. Yes, it looks like they make 1/8" NPT straight extensions that should do the trick. Should have an update later in the week. Thanks!
Yep, I'll do a lower bracket in the same way as shown in the DIY thread - attaching to the splitter mounting tabs/boxes/points on the tubular bumper. Meanwhile, the project has ground to a halt, because just when I thought I had everything sorted, my oil temp sensor is too long for the new oil...

Splitter and associated hardwareStarted yesterday. Don't expect to be done this weekend. I am Captain Meticulous and a very slow mechanic. But have a good head of steam, so let's see how far I get.
Okay, I punted on the DIY rear seat delete. 2020 has been a rough year and I didn't want to risk murderous rage, if my DIY effort failed to meet my own standards. Also, I'm gainfully employed again and have more money than time, so I decided to treat myself to my favorite non-factory rear seat...
Welp, stuck at home now to avoid the 'rona, so I might as well get to work on this. Any overachievers out there save a template with measurements? The top section is pretty easy, but I'm finding the bottom to be quite a bit more challenging. The OP did a great job, but it also looks like it's...
