I went to race track to have some some fun.
But, after 3 or 4 laps huge smoke came out of the car and when pulling side I noticed that
the water hose had slid off, the one that goes from top of the engine to thermostat that
is hanging in the water hoses (stupid design).
There was couple of other S197s also but they didn't have any problems.
Maybe my car shakes a bit more on track as I have the Steeda Sport springs, and that causes that the water hose started sliding. Any other ideas ?

Any way, has this happened to anyone else ?

What I need to next is to install proper clamps to replace the OEM ones.

 

This happened to my 07 GT. It was less then 3 months old and it had NO mods at the time. Had to call roadside assistance and got it towed to a Ford dealer. Fixed under warranty. They said the clamp use not installed correctly. Fixed and all okay ever since. Been over a year now.

 

OK thanks,

Seems that this isn't that common problem if only you and me had it
Well, I'm thinking of replacing all the clamps with proper ones that you can tighten as you like. I've had similar problems with other cars I've had, the clamps that you can't tighten won't hold forever, at some point they will get loose.
