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

I still have the stock rear spoiler. Considering an upgrade there also.

I have a shake down at Blackhawk on Wednesday.

After 3 years, I finally had the track key installed.

Finished the RST clutch install with the relearn.

Clutch is amazing. I am amazed at how light the clutch pedal effort is.

Splitter is next, then VIR.

It really is. I assume you removed the assist spring as well.

Just in time for the FR warranty to expire.

Washed the 21 using the Chemical Brothers foam cannon and Honeydew Foam. Works very well although you still need to use the microfiber wash mitt to get the brake dust and rubber streaks off. Followed it up with Mothers spray detailer.

Changed rear brake pads to XP20. Last set was used up in one day, 185 miles at Watkins Glen, they were XP 12s, I also have a set of RO2 to try, that is Carbotechs "endurance compound". Did a full flush of brake and clutch fluids and a good bleed.
Ready for my Memorial week sweep of Watkins Glen, VIR and Mid Ohio.

I removed the spring a while ago. Did not like the none linear feel with the spring.

Installed the Jlt brake cooling kit. Also thinking of switching to different tune instead of the trackcal.

Prepped the car for Watkins Glen next Monday/Tuesday: Re torqued the Header to Off Road H-pipe bolts (loose after 1 track day), changed the Diff Fluid, Engine Oil and Rear brake pads and re-set the Toe to 1/16 out. Plan to take all the wheel weights off as the tires have slipped a lot on the rims....

Dropped mine off at the dealer. Looks like I'm in for the dreaded replace alternator out of warranty bill.

Put in PFC 08 pads up front
Put 1/2" discs in the side pipes for 90dB restriction at MRLS

UPS showed up while I was doing the work and dropped off the prototype Aggressor splitter and a halon extinguisher.

Mocked up the splitter, and pretty sure I need to unhook the bumper to get the outside two holes to line up.

Boo. Not looking forward to regular maintenance items.

you have to try and do stuff like that yourself. $250 vs $1000 for that alternator job is worth it. Only will take about 2 hours to do.

The new clutch needs no help.

Agreed.

When I first tried the clutch pedal,after install I assumed there was something wrong because the clutch pedal was so light.

Now shifts are much more solid for lack of a np better term.

1-2 shifts before the clutch upgrade felt slow. I could feel the syncros working to align the rings. Now, no drag or resistance to gear changes regardless of RPM at shift.

Wish I had made the upgrade a while ago.

You're assuming I have two hours... I'd have no problem replacing it myself if I had the time.

Most of the transmission problems are the clutch not the trans.

Just the Red Track key. I was anticipating the need for a tune to disable the rear O2 sensors and eliminate the CEL, but it looks like I can skip that!

I got lucky with mine the first few times I had it out as well and thought that I had escaped the CEL. After a few long runs it eventually came on. It might just take longer than it's had thus far.

I hear you, I dragged myself out of bed on Sunday (only day off) and did the brakes, fluid and washed the car. If you were close I would help you get it done for a couple beers.

Peeled some old decals off and set up some new ones. Gonna run a new fuel vapor line tonight for the Evap system delete I did this weekend.

Thanks, I'll take a rain check on that one!
