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

Interesting. I left the rubber diff bushing on the diff side just because I'm lazy to change it. So it's "correct" to leave a rubber bushing in on one side?

Yeah--leave that one in there unless it blows out, then replace it with another $35 stock bushing or the Steeda heim joint one that was mentioned above.

What did I do today?

New PFC01 front pads.
Adjusted wing angle a little more downward to be active in Laguna's "mid-speed" corners.
"TOW" sticker for rear bumper cover.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Got my car back tonight after I had a Spec stage 4 clutch (6 puck), aluminum flywheel, new TOB, and SS clutch line installed. Initial street-driving impressions:

-pedal effort is greater than stock
-engagement is much quicker and more harsh due to solid hub
-it takes more RPMs to leave smoothly from a stop and doesn't like to be slipped too much

I figured these things would happen when I switched to this clutch but honestly I thought it was going to be much worse. I had visions of the clutch being so terrible on the street that I never wanted to drive it but that just isn't the case. I did a few high RPM pulls and the car shifted vey well. Looking forward to testing it out on track soon, where it should really shine 8)

Grip it & Rip it!

First time driving there, met up with some BMO folk there back in 2011 for a Grand Am race.

I have about 10,000 laps on GT5, though.

Installed heat reflective tape around the main positive power cables going by the header. The protective plastic sleeve had broken away from the wires so I did this before the insulation got roasted.

That's easily 10 hp

I have at least 10 feet left over, maybe I should wrap my STB in it? +40hp there and I can skip the CJ manifold that way too! Win-win!

WRAP EVERYTHING

The wire insulation temp rating should be a lot higher than that split loom tubing. Split loom is nothing special.

RPM related squeak is back. Back end of the car is ridiculously noisy. Last time the dealership said the axles were out of round and replaced them. Back to the dealer Monday morning...

Did the first test run of the new air/oil cooler install. So far, no leaks.
Friday I'll put the car back on the ground and go for a drive. If all is good, put the front bumper back on, and go season bed in new brakes/rotors for BIR.

Custom trunk carpet : It might be time to quit pretending it's still a grocery getter.

Maybe not a grocery getter but that tap in the back would make for good tailgating.

Surprised you still have the trunk carpet in there...

Gary I'll go first with the carpet removal since you went first with the A/C removal. We have to catch up with Drew and go full race. Let's start a BMO run what you brung race classification.

The real issue is I would have to move up a class if I take any more weight out and I would be 300 lbs overweight for the next class so if I go I have to go big!

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Went out to test my new headers and clutch line pop out at the transmission
Retaining clip is still on the elbow and have 2 track day with that stainless line.

And also broke the front splitter trying to get it on the flatbed
