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

[CrossBoss]

proactively looking for a good shop in CT to install a pile of parts I have in my living room. I'm taking/asking for references. Thanks

Was able to finally successfully install a Kicker VSS sub and amp in the boss. Only took 3 systems before I got the correct set up (no fault of Kicker). Install wasn't to bad, and the added parts really wake up the radio and speakers. Don't worry, I can still hear the car rumble and it all sounds awesome together.

I may be putting one of these in my F250 in the future. Looks like an easy package to install.

Installed SVT GT 500 fan, upgraded the cooling system to 2007 routing, installed a new alternator and sacrificed the A/C condenser. That last one hurt just a little bit
Radiator ducting and Rod end trailing arms in progress. Torque arm coming soon.

Thanks! The car was not harmed and I have it blocked in at night. I'm going to have to garage it daily. I keep it out in better weather. The video shows them up on my deck looking through my sliders probably for the keys. It's the feeling violated that sucks. They were no more than 3 feet away from the track key and didn't know it...

Usually a dealer won't cut a key without the registration (VIN) & proof of ownership. That might not be true with a shady locksmith. I'd keep your Boss in the garage from now on if I were you.

At least they will not be able to start the car. The key would have to be synced with the security module to run the car, no? A shady locksmith would not be able to do this, only cut a key that would open the car....

BigTaco, I've had a couple spare keys made in the past for various vehicles and the locksmith I used came to my house in his van, cut the key, then used his portable computer plugged into my car to program the key to start the car. Usually took less than 15 minutes. I don't know how difficult it would be to do on a Boss but be aware it can be done.

I've had this done in ny on a 2011 town car. They made me produce the title.

Wow. I did not realize that was possible; thanks for the info....

Getting the car ready to head up to Steamboat Spring for the 28th Rocky Mountain Mustang Round-up. Cleaned the outside good and noticed quite a bit of rubber from my last track day on the radiator. Guess there isn't so much air restriction with my Roush 7 Billet Grille. Used a medium nylon brush to get most of it off.
