    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    Sounds about right. I adjusted the shocks to a "4" and just went out for a drive. That helped a lot. And I can say with certainty now that the axle hop is gone. Just a smooth breakaway when I exceed rear tire grip.What shocks did you pair with the P springs?-NickSent from the tiny...

    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    Installed a set of Whiteline LCAs and relocation brackets yesterday. Seems to have tamed my axle hop issues, but I have only been driving on it for a day.I'm still running stock ride height and relatively soft shock settings. Body roll seems to have a more pronounced effect on the feel of...

    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    More planning for suspension upgrades. So far I've got camber plates and four 295 width Hoosier take-offs. Still need to get it aligned.The next item up for discussion is rear LCAs and brackets. I'm leaning towards the Whiteline parts. I've used their suspension components on my old Subaru...

    Sound tube is gone. Looking forward to hearing the exhaust and not piped in intake noise.-NickSent from the tiny computer in my pocket.

    NASA Mid-Atlantic at VIR

    Was anyone else at VIR last weekend? I was just hanging out Saturday, not on track this time. But I saw a lot of Boss 302s in the DE sessions and racing AI.-NickSent from the tiny computer in my pocket.

    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    The back-order on the SVE Drifts got pushed out till April 30th which would have had me missing the entire spring season. I canceled those today and placed my order for the TD wheels from Blowfish Racing.Edit: And here they are!-NickSent from the tiny computer in my pocket.

    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    So I went for the cheap speed this time. (4) 3/4 tread Hoosier R6s, 295/30r18 and (4) 18x10 SVE Drifts. I'm also trying to get an '84 BMW 318i back on the road this month so there wasn't quite as much money to put into the Boss as I had wanted.But I'll still be hitting the track this spring...

    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    Race Rubber ChoicesI need a little advice here. I've reached out to the fine folks at www.jbracingtires.net and am considering the following options. The only mods at the moment will be camber plates and (4) 18x10 wheels. I'll primarily be tracking Summit Point Main and the new Jefferson...

    First Track Day in the Boss

    I'm planning to order a set of the Team Dynamics wheels that Pufferfish keeps in stock. https://www.blowfishracing.com/wheels-and-tires/20-18x10-pro-race-13-wheels.htmlEdit: But now that I read this thread https://trackmustangsonline.com/index.php?topic=3985.msg62148#msg62148, I really have...

    First Track Day in the Boss

    I'm guessing Pete is like me and has a 2012. We don't have the fun screens or sync. :) Sounds like you had fun and kept the shiny side up!Feedback: I don't know about the oil cooler, but would be interested to find out if there's a good bolt in option.Do get some track pads. I'm running...

    Mid-Atlantic Boss: Building a Do-It-All Street/Track Car

    I have a set of the MM caster camber plates waiting to go on. They seem to have the best reputation both here and from my local sources. The NASA-X 'A' class base tire size is a 295 width, so I was planning to go with that size squared up on a set of Team Dynamics 18s. Since the P-Zeros need...

    First NASA autocross of the season! Virginia was graced with a sunny 60 degree day after two weeks of crippling snow and cold.After 16k miles, two autocrosses, and one track weekend, these Pirellis are finally done. My times were just not competitive, even when I didn't spend the...
