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

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I really like the BBP wheels and they look very nice on your Boss. I wish FR had made a 10" wide version of that wheel. A very similar wheel comes stock on the recent Porsche GT3 RS.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Thank you, I like the silver finish. I got them on eBay for $625 shipped. They aren't perfect but you can't tell at Boss speed. Lol.

change the exhaust discs from the side exhaust.

many thanks to Scott !!

Scott's very affordable discs have made this easy for hundreds of us. He has stopped production of the discs and his inventory is running low so if any of you are thinking about ordering a set you better do it soon.

I will have to try running mine open for the last few weeks before I put it away for the winter. My state trooper neighbor is already giving me the stink eye when I drive by, so what the hey...

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

- front/rear adj sway bars
- rear LCA's, relo bracks
- Clutch line upgrade
- Kenny Brown jacking rails
- Hawk Blue rear pads
- Updated CAI/93 Tune

Can you get me a pic of these and let me know how much they cost? Jacking the Boss is a PITA...

When I first saw the BBP wheels years ago after I started shopping for my own Mustang I really wasn't a fan. But over the past 2 years they have grown on me and apart from the '13 LS wheels and the non SVTPP '13 GT500 wheels, these would be my 3rd choice.

This is what I did to create a single jack point per side. Tack welded at the pinch weld about 57% of the distance of the rocker length. Lifts both wheels on a side with 4 pumps of my jack. Great for tire swaps and I can use a jack on both sides to lift the whole car up on stands. The full rails are nice but expensive, heavy and I'm not sure our chassis needs stiffening at the rockers/torque boxes. Hopefully Darren can let us know if they improve handling/stiffness.

Thanks! 70$ not too bad...

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Steve it's a bit unclear from Lethal's website how those mount. Are they basically like the KB's but shorter with a jack mound? Got a photo of the install? I doubt the jacking rails add enough stiffness to the chassis to be felt. Maybe on the pre 2010 S197's but the newer chassis's are stiffer.

The steel puck has a slot cut with flat plate flanges on both sides. The slot goes over the pinch weld and the plates bear on the rocker on either side. I welded the flanges and ran a few beads on the pinch weld. No stress on the sheet metal after a year and a half so far.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Thanks, no photos needed. Do they interfere with the rocker panels? I'm using the Roush side splitters.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Ordered some 18" gt500 rim and Conti DWS tire for the colder days. Decided not to store the Boss for the winter this year, I'll drive it only when the weather is dry like I do now. Now I won't have to go through withdraw lol.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

OW MY EYES! yellow - blue - red ? I'm sorry but I think black might have been a better choice, just my honest opinion...
