Winter mods

[ArizonaBOSS]

Yes, although I'd recommend using old lugnuts for this.

Just completed the installs for the BBK Cold Air Intake and the signed dash panel. Believe it or not, both were very simple to do.

Very nice. Did you have to add a tune with the CAI? Can you please briefly describe how to replace the dash panel?

5 DOT 0, There is no need for a tune with the CAI......and the description of how to replace the dash panel I've added in the thread I created about the signature.

Thanks, it all makes sense now. I think it will be next winter's mod, along with track wheels/tires.

I'm a little confused how you pulled the new ones in. Did you tighten the lug nut which pushed the sleeve which pushed the hub, thus "pulling" the lug? That is the only way I can think how all those parts would work together.

Yep, go to a hardware or parts store and buy a spare lug nut to pull the new studs in with. If you don't have an impact wrench (or a friend who does), buy a cheap electric one from Harbor Freight. Tightening the nut pulls the stud into the hub. The steel bushing allows you to use a typical length deep socket (I used a spark plug socket).

Its pretty easy once you look at my pics and others who have posted (2012YellowBoss has pics somewhere too).

Just make sure to put a lot of anti-seize on the threads. I have had bad results when I didnt do that.

World Challenge splitter installed and oil temp sensor working These are in the service drive on a cell phone. It's mid 70s and sunny all week so I'll try to get a better one outdoors later.

Blue one is the LS splitter? It looks bigger.

Your hood looks really good with the little line around the black out section.

Looks great, IMO the WC splitter fits the look of the car better. Your friends car looks fantastic and I see he added two more hood pins. Remember my son still wants some nice photos of it now that it's complete.

Yep exactly. The WC splitter was recommended as a better street/track option. Less likely to hit it on driveways, etc. which means it's also less likely to get buried in the mud when I go 4 wheelin' ;D Actually with the addtional downforce from the hood, this should be all I need.

Thanks, I went back and forth on that but in the end decided to make it like the original 302S concept. Getting closer, but I really need to burn off these Hoosiers from my 302S wheels. They look killer on the grabber car IMO.

Am I just down to window nets and the big wing?

Gary - did your splitter get wet and shrink ? ;D LOL (You'll be the one laughing when I do a 4-off and end up digging a hole to China.)

Thanks. Yea I need to get it in action at the track. Wife took some photography classes and has a really nice new camera so maybe in a couple weeks.

According to George Costanza, it's the cold that made it shrink

 

[PeteInCT]

No, it was because your Boss was in the Pool ;D

And when I go 4-off I guess I'm going to Antarctica, not China:

Gary that car is looking GRRRRRRRRRRR-EAT!

You will have to let us know if you feel a difference in car attitude north of 80mph.

Thanks man ;D

What are the details on the blue car? Mods etc?

 

[2012YellowBoss]

That splitter looks to be the same size as mine after I cut it down. Maybe a little more in the center and a little less on the sides.

My last winter mod: Bought for my 17 year old daughter who is maintaining a 4.18 GPA in her high school career.

Scott looks great. You changed all of your stripes to matte black right? Ford should have done matte or reflective right from the start IMHO.
