    SPL Front Control Arms TSB

    I glanced around and didn't see it posted here so I figured I'd post it just in case. SPL released a TSB for their front control arms which includes ones for the S550.Link: https://www.splparts.com/tsb-2301/TO: Customers/drivers, builders/repair shops, and race teamsRE: Immediate and...

    EBC Brakes Giveaway - November 2022

    If I can afford it, then I picking the Aston Martin V-12 Vantage S for the sound and feel. In the real world, I'll keep my Bullitt since I already have it and it checks all the blocks (fun to drive, sounds great, and good options to modify it). I would like to get an electric but the townhouse...

    S197 Smilieboy's Boss Reset

    Looks like we found a possible cause for the issues on cylinder 8 but I want to get some other opinions. Oil was found on the number 8 spark plug threads again. The shop is leaning to it being the piston rings since the gaskets and valve cover are both fairly new. Anyone else have an idea for...

    S197 Smilieboy's Boss Reset

    The mating surfaces were cleaned and didn't appear to have any issues when the shop tried to figure it out. It's not splattering, just dribbling out. It hasn't done it since the new valve covers, but I also haven't pushed it since they were installed and I got the correct oil dipstick...

    S197 Smilieboy's Boss Reset

    So it's been a while but I'm finally back in a position to focus on getting back into car stuff again. Long story short, got medically discharged from the army and forced to complete a career change. Now that all of that is settled, it's time to get back into the seat. I'm leaning to just...

    Any input on KW V3's?

    I ran these for about two or three seasons and they held up. My issue with them was they felt soft and also couldn't get much negative camber out of them. I wouldn't run them again if I had the choice. I would take the Fortune 510's for split use considering the price is fairly close on price...

    Mystery coolant leak

    So for about the past month when I go to drive the Boss and pull out of the garage there is a decent puddle of coolant sitting where the car was. Puddle is roughly in the middle of the car where I would estimate the crank damper would be (maybe slightly to the driver side). Coolant levels look...

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

    Took the car to Dominion, had the gasket around the coil pack blow out and now have to scramble to get it fixed by next weekend (another track weekend at VIR).
