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

[byronj]

Going in for first ever dealership service since new (do my own oil changes and maintenance) for airbag recall and replacement track key.

What number is your Boss?

 

[ace72ace]

1224, why do you ask?

1224, why do you ask?

Because I found an owners kit for a RR Boss and the Redkey on Craigslist and trying to find the owner so he/she can buy if from me for what I paid for it.

 

[ace72ace]

You are too kind! I have my owners kit (and hopefully a new red key) =)

[Man I hate dealerships, I am scheduling my service at the nearest Ford dealer, and they are calling be back for appointment data/time after they get the airbag, and was going to charge me 169$ for a replacement red key, where MSRP is $149. Labor charge is a flat $120 for any key. Ordered replacement from Levittown;

Backed her out of the garage for some fresh air. With winter and second shoulder surgery in Jan, haven't tracked in over a year

@cobrarob looking good and I hope you're back behind the wheel soon.

@cobrarob looking good and I hope you're back behind the wheel soon.

Thanks Rick,healing up hopefully towards end of year. Taking the ride to Watkins in May with a couple of friends. Other members here go to the event also,always good to see them!

 

[Champale]

cobrarob - good luck with your healing. I am sure that is no fun.

What wheel/tire sizes are you running? Is that an F14 up front?

 

[cobrarob]

@Champale thank you. Yep no fun at all but saved some money this year...lol
The fronts are 19x10(42) to match the rear SVT 19x10's. 285/35 mich ss. I use 15mm spacers that I bought from a member here,fits perfect!

Amer muscle is havin them on sale now for 399 each( you save 10 bucks from norm price)

They also clear the 13-14 6pot brembos

 

[Champale]

Excellent thank you for letting me know.

And I am glad you are able to see something positive in your health struggles. All that money you have saved means you will have more money to blow on your car.

 

[cobrarob]

Yep the $$ saved from not moddin/tracking I’ll have to double it next year...lol

 

[TymeSlayer]

Finding 5-6mm clearance between the Apex 19x11 EC-7 ET-52 with 305/30-19 square. Still don't like that what looks to be about of inch of rubber sticks out in the front with the 25MM OP spacers. Haven't been able to mess with the camber now that I running around San Diego this week but hope to get to in this weekend.

Walked past the Boss to get the gas can for the garden tractor with snow blower attached.
Boss won't come out of the stable for at least a week. Here's a pic where she's parked.

 

[Grant 302]

^Took me a bit to figure out what I was looking at! Good luck to everyone getting hit.

 

[302BOB]

drano38, You have my Sympathy! Snow around here has melted away. It was near 70 today but only near 40 tomorrow. I know your Boss is getting restless.....

 

[drano38]

Yea, weird SD winter. We've had more snow in the last 6 weeks than we did all winter. We're in the 8-12" band, and had 25-40 mph winds until about 2 hours ago. There's a 4 ft drift across the street by my house. I'll have to shovel the snow away from that 20 ft door before I can open it and get the garden tractor out and start blowing snow.

 

[drano38]

Finally took the Boss out of hibernation today. Hopefully winter is over until fall.
Took her out to stretch her legs on the county road.
Then back to the house for a spring photo op. And she'll stay in this garage since the other one getting filled up with a wood working project.

 

[byronj]

washed her and getting her ready for her new owner. I dont do much photo bucket so you can see her on the TMO FB page

well open it up and show us. a PN is a PN right. If you needed a Red key I have a spare that is programmed to a car but I won't share the number here. But It is for sale and can be programmed to any Mustang
