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

[Apex3V]

My Uncle got me a carbon fiber splitter off of a stock car about a week ago and I finally got around to mocking up the mounting and seeing how it would look. It's going to stick out 2 1/4 inches on the very front and at the sides it will stick out 4 inches. It's gonna require some trimming and I'll have to fill in the holes that go around the length of the splitter but it should turn out alright. next up on the list to get it mounted would be a bracket and some turn buckles.

ChrisM, I'm sure you enjoyed the ride!!!!...Time well spent with your parents and your car!!

Finally got out for some driving time in the FakeR. Overcast, but a nice 60º for canyon runs.

Boss OEM battery still running strong after 6 years 3 months. 3 weeks sitting and only drained to 12.65V. Could easily go another 3+ weeks before I would 'need' to charge at 12.44V, but topping it off to drive tomorrow.

Grant , You're a guy lucky to have temps that warm.Coldest temps in years overnite with everyone below zero around here! The Boss is in the garage which NORMALLY never goes below 50/55, but now is struggling to maintain 40 degrees. This is taking it's toll on my Boss OEM battery , which I'm sure would have been fine if this was a normal winter. Far from it ...I think we would be warmer in Alaska!

 

[Grant 302]

I know it's crazy weather out east. Not really making me re-consider moving out there. We were really thinking about it a few years back. Stay warm!

 

[Mad Hatter]

Trying to stay cool!! Lol.. But those east coast temps are just way too cool. Hope it warms up for you guys!

 

[RodS197]

It wasn't today per-se, but before it got too cold around here, I welded on my rear tow hook.

 

[gripdriver]

Checked the oil.

Drove both the FakeR and Boss today. Gave the Boss her semi-annual wash/wax.

I got my SRP pedals a couple of days ago and had to find a day warm enough too install them, the install was painless and I got to test them out tonight. I noticed just how much easier it was too Heel-Toe and I'd recommend these to anybody.

I made an adjustable sway bar end link. 40 bucks worth of parts from Speedway Motors.

Nice work! Part list please!

 

[Big Black]

Rod Ends:
150-008 RH
150-008 LH

Tie Rod Sleeve:
910-55320

1/2" Cone Spacers:
546-4107

Jam Nuts:
175-0446 (LH)
175-0246 (RH)

Plus a couple of 1/2" bolts and nuts for the eyes from the hardware store. Actually about $50 total now (without my Christmas 10% off) at speedwaymotors.com.

I had to cut exactly 3/4" off of each end of the sleeve. With each hiem in the sleeve half way, it's 10 1/2" eye-to eye, same as stock. Not much weight savings, but some. Torque on stock link is 85 ft. lb., one-time use nuts. On mine, I'll do 85 ft. lbs., and use Rocksett thread locker.

Perfect, thanks! I only plan to make 1. You don't need both sides to be adjustable and hardly anyone will sell you just 1.

Yeah, I got kind of ticked when I went looking for these and found out they're all sold in pairs -- so I took all that angst and figured out the parts list. That took longer (10 minutes!) than putting the thing together, lol. Gotta love Speedway Motors!

How many miles on that CO Boss? She's looking Hot to Trot!

Thanks! Just shy of 4k now. And that's with 3 trips to Laguna Seca!

Glad I took her for a spin before this rain. Although nothing like what you guys back east are dealing with.

Buy a pair and sell one to a friend

Backed it out garage and let it warm up. Loaded the trunk with stuff as it’s going on a ride next week when we move south.

 

[302BOB]

I guess every little bit helps........Not much room in that trunk for stuff...good luck on your relocation!
