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

[Tri-bar]

I re did my Windshield banner. Off with the Ford Racing and on with this one. I want to thank Grant 302 for setting me up with the links to make this. It was a pain to do but it turned out okay. Once the Ford ovals show they will be installed too.

 

[Grant 302]

Glad to help! I like the T-Bird too... yours?

Replaced the stock battery with a lithium - 22 pounds gone. Modified the stock battery tray to lower it for the slightly taller new battery.

Ordered Mikes lap/sub belt bracket for the boss.

 

[302BOB]

Admired it in the garage waiting patiently for our next run.................

Adjusted Watts link from Middle upper to Middle lower bolt hole, torque check bolts, brake bleed, fitted G Stream uprights and Watson reinforcements to decklid prior to dropping decklid off at body shop for coat of Wood Brothers Racing Red on top. Should have all buttoned up to leave for VIR Friday morning.

 

[Grant 302]

Checked batteries and fluids on both cars. Stuck inside again with the rain. Rain also forecasted for Friday.

More stickers for the FakeR:


Thanks to @Tri-bar for finding these!

Rob,
what are those front control arms like to live with on the street? I know they are not a "street" part, I'm just looking for some real world comparisons....

Hey BigTaco, note I also did the bumpsteer kit...
I only did a 5-10 minute blast when I picked her up, but my initial impression was I heard squeaking and clanking up front(Which doesn't bother me) They said it has to settle in. On the smooth road it was AWESOME but at low speeds pulling into my garage I heard the noises. As for the usual track maintenance,also said for street driving to watch the forward bolt for movement(loosening) and ball joint loosening.

Hopefully this helped. Weather permitting hopefully take her out for a longer cruze.

Today begins a new secret project....

 

[barspen]

New shoes today. Giving the Nitto NT555G2 a try to see how I like them. Been a Continental customer for years (street only), but sound like they are discontinuing the DW so decided to switch it up.

 

[captdistraction]

Worked on fabricating the accusump setup and plumbing. What a nightmare.

Looks like that's under the dash on the passenger side. No room in the engine bay?

 

[captdistraction]

No room unfortunately. I really wanted it anywhere but in the passenger compartment. This is what compromise looks like. I'm going to shield the burst valve though so if/when it goes, I won't be treated to a hot oil shower.

Boss got its annual rinse-down. Got an hour drive in.

Then more CTSC graphics for the FakeR.







Just need my TMO banners for the quarter panels..hint, hint

When I've seen them installed, they were most frequently in front of the driver strut tower mounted vertically. IIRC, you have remote reservoirs for the JRZs? At least you wouldn't dump it on the tires or headers.
