Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Was finishing up prep for first track day of the season this coming Saturday, flushing radiator and refilling with distilled water and Water Wetter. So much for that idea:

Time for a trip to your dealer as it's still under warranty.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

The joint between the plate and the elbow. Very poor design. I may need to do it with my pit crew (son) if I am to have it done before Saturday.

Same spot as mine. I need to figure out what parts I need to eliminate it and make it work with the FRPP cooler. I'm just not sure how to integrate an oil t-stat.

Got the car washed and put the summer shoes on. Ordered the Michelin PSS from Tire rack before they were all gone and they should be on by next weekend. Time to turn the nanny's off and smoke the Pirelli's. :) Hope I don't end up getting a ticket.

Had to fire up the propane heater in the garage to start the install of the Diff cooler. Had originally planned on just the gage to check temps, but talking to the Ford Racing guys at Watson they said that with the Torsen, any extended track time, they add a cooler.

More than half way through. Will post pics next weekend.

Finished Diff Breather and Cooler Install. Pics are in "How To" section.

Not a lion, just a fat house cat. We do have lions in the neighborhood though. I found a cat print in the mud in my yard that was the size of my fist. :eek:

Luckily I have a spare race red facia.

There are lots of fat cats in Silicon Valley. That one won't be missed. ;)

Good luck with the repairs. Will it be ready for Vegas?

LOL. It had better be done before Vegas. I'm probably going to take this opportunity to weld in the Rehagen tow hooks as well.
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Maybe you should have picked another color when you replaced you Boss, you don't seem to have very good luck with red ones.

Damn that sucks, Mountain Lion? Try newtakeoffparts.com for a pre painted take off Race Red nose. Cheaper than buying and having painted plus its factory finish.

Fat Boss, what is the orange hose?
