Where's Wally

Intended to use the service bolts:

Looks like there may not be enough adjustment. Will decide tomorrow whether to switch to the camber plates.

Thanks for figuring this out for us. I have the cc plates sitting in a box in the garage and have yet to order the bolts. It will be nice to know if I just go straight for the plates, the bolts or both.

So after installing the Service Bolts and checking alignment several times ??? I concluded that Camber plates were the best option. Will post more details and a "How To" later:

Well I'm glad I picked up a set on the Black Friday sale then. The next question is alignment specs. I'm just thinking we'll want more negative camber than what Ford specifies in the track supplement but maybe not. Any ide how much the race cars are running?

You and me both. Good deal

What Ford specifies in the manual is specific to the tires. You're gonna want more with the Hoosiers or slicks.

Wally's center console came out today to put in wiring for GPS, Coolshirt, plus switch and the AutoBlip control module:



Purchased the GT Bezel to replace the blank R Bezel to mount the Coolshirt switch in the Line In Jack location and run AutoBlip and GPS cable thru the USB slot:



Connecting the wire taps for AutoBlip was more difficult than the Boss, mainly due to the friction wrap on all the looms being extremely tight, even with the seat removed -- in hindsight it would take less effort to improve my heel and toe

 

[VoodooBoss]

I didn't realize you were using an Auto Blip. How did you manage at the licensing school?

In the Boss I only used it on new tracks or those with several 5/4/3 downshifts -- figured it would also help with a new car as I'm getting lazy

Cheaters!!! For Shame!!! ;D

No, cheating would be installing a PDK and using it all the time

I'm seeing the need for that full Kooks system with green cats coming sooner rather than later @voodoo child21

ARH 2" primary long tubes and Corsa 3" axle backs, GT 350 manifold/TB AED tune and I'll be running in the draft of that "R" wing at RA.

 

[8250RPM]

I finished installing my ARH long tubes and X pipes today. Sounds like a pissed off hornet lol.

Found out the hard way that the key fob sensor is in the top of the center consul. Had it removed and the car wouldn't start, although the other key fob functions (lock, un-lock etc.) still worked.....

All back together, so 3 more upgrades checked off the list:

Autoblip
Coolshirt
Powered GPS for Harry's

 

[8250RPM]

Sorry for the ignorant question, is the GPS for street traffic or does it also work around the track? Are you getting anymore info from the gps other then speed, directions, time and distance?

 

[Black Boss]

I use it in combination with Harry's lap timer on the track. It provides a higher GPS sample rate than the integral iPhone sensor. Lot's of other threads on Harry's -- easy to use and normally within 100's of a second of my AIM on the Boss.

Thank you Nick

 

[steveespo]

Harry's is actually very accurate with a GPS module as Nick indicates. I need to figure out a good iPhone 6 mount to get better video and I will be very happy using that in my GT302.

Changed the Oil and Oil filter today in preparation for first track day.

Torque spec on the 350 (17 lb-ft) is way higher than the S197, probably to deal with the higher revs/vibration of the FPC.

Got a 74.5mm 14 spline socket to torque accurately -- way tighter than "hand tight":

Nice. Do you have a link to that socket? Is there room to actually use it? :
