  1. Friction modifier in Torsen?

    Due to my shifting problem I've added a modifier to both the transmission and the diff.As NSFBOSS stated: it won't hurt anything.Cheers!
  2. Kumho ECSTA LE Sport VS. Michelin Pilot Super Sports

    Want to keep the stock wheels and tires and as everyone knows, tire selection is limited.Everyone seems to like the Pilot Super Sports but how many use them for both street & track driving.Has anyone tried these Kumhos? Can't beat the price on tire rack.I've heard mixed reviews from...
  3. Collectibility

    Why worry about resale! All I'm worried about is dependability and track worthiness. So far the Boss has been bulletproof on the street but this "lock out" crap is driving me nuts. I bought this beauty because I could run it without making major changes to have it perform. Much like my Porsche...
  4. HOD "Do the Screw in Your 302" Special Event August 25th

    Everyone has probably seen this video of Randy Probst with a Boss 302 LS on Laguna but it's worth watching again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rCMxgoWaq9QCheck out his time of 1:41.06 and the time on the axis of oversteer video. Virtually identical.Amazing what...
  5. HOD "Do the Screw in Your 302" Special Event August 25th

    Thought those going to this event might appreciate some info about driving Laguna at speed. Found it really helpful when I went the first time and even if you drove this track before this may help you improve your line. http://blog.axisofoversteer.com/2012/09/Laguna-Seca-Track-Guide.html...
  6. HOD "Do the Screw in Your 302" Special Event August 25th

    Really would like to do this event. Laguna Seca is a great facility but driving from Seattle for 1 day is too much for this old man. Looks like there is going to be good representation from this board that would make it even more fun to mix it up with a bunch of Boss 302 pilots.On sound, when...
  7. Boss Transmission/Clutch Issues Poll Discussion Thread

    Personally not sure that it's clutch only. Think it's a combination of things, but for me I think heat & torque are responsible for my lock out issue.I just added a high level friction modifier (Level 1) to the tranny. It has virtually eliminated the cold sticky grinding issue I've had since...
  8. Boss Transmission/Clutch Issues Poll Discussion Thread

    This is a terrific idea and I'm in on the letter writing campaign. The sooner the better but waiting to Labor Day may be best because for many the end of the track season is around Labor Day.What's really troubling is why some of us have many issues and others are free form any issue when...
  9. Clutch pedal not coming up all the way

    SeattleBoss: follow the threads cloud 9 provided. There is a lot of info on this board and several people have resolved this problem, somewhat common, using a variety of methods. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CONTACT YOUR DEALER AND MAKE HIM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. Ford needs to know just how many owners...
  10. Pacific Raceways Track Event Thursday

    Couldn't agree more with DP, Pacific Raceways is a great track and really a blast to drive but it's just a mess as it sits!The BMW & PCA offer the best instruction value. These guys are VOLUNTEERS, NO PAY, JUST LOVE WHAT THEY DO!!!! This is on a National Basis. The Golden Gate Regions of both...
  11. Pacific Raceways Track Event Thursday

    Thanks for posting SeattleBoss. But, until Pacific Raceways is made right (paving & run off) I'm not going to run there until it's fixed. Think the BMW Club and Proformance Racing School still have HPDE at Pacific but the Porsche Club and Turn 2 Lapping have moved many of their events to The...
  12. Friend needs an intro to the Boss Family

    Hey Pete. Domestic Product (Mike)directed me to this post. I have a 01 996 tt that is fairly well sorted. It is my garage queen and occasional track toy. The Boss isn't as highly modified, has street rubber just like the P-car and stock brake pads just like the P-car. Have to admit I don't go...
  13. Buyer/Seller Feedback

    SHOUT OUT FOR TRACK DAY SOLUTIONS!!!Lost a magnetic number (blew off) and it was found but it was toast. Tried to find the company I ordered these from but NO LUCK-- think they bite the dust, it was several years ago that I received them.Emailed Pete @ Track Day Solutions and he agreed to...
  14. Boss Transmission/Clutch Issues Poll Discussion Thread

    Justin, where did you order your motor mounts from? Do you notice any "significant" increase in NVH?The only thing I've seen is that replacement bushing for the tranny. It's mentioned by someone in this thread.Someone has to make these and I wonder if the 302S or 302R have different mounts...
