What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Andrewg]

Are you going to add a subwoofer? I have some left over sound deadening from when I was working on an old car and was thinking about maybe adding some sheets to the trunk for my subwoofer. It will be a small powered unit so not much thump, but I figured might as well add some sheets while I'm in there installing the sub.

Some may call me a Philistine but honestly i'm quite happy with the stock premium system which already has a sub in the trunk and don't see the need for any additional work. I put a layer of Dynamat below, around and behind the sub which has made a difference so i'd say go for it as i'm sure it will make a difference to your sub.

Running most of the same gear on my car....

Ultralite linears w/ FRFP shocks n struts
BMR CB005
UPR Vert links


Still havent gotten to a track yet,

I did similar mods in my last round, and finally got out to the track last Friday - here are my handling thoughts;

-BMR springs, sways, chassis stiffening pieces (cradle lockout and Steeda black [stiff] poly diff bushings), and Koni shocks have tuned out all of the wallowing of the stock car, now there is no body roll, and movements of the car are tight and controlled. Doesn't feel like the IRS assembly is floating on its' own any more, but always connected to, and tracking directly under the car.

-performance alignment (a bit toe-out in front, a bit toe in in rear, and -3/-2 deg camber) and square tire setup (285's) has the handling on point. Stock understeer completely dialed out, and good balance front to rear - unless you're an idiot with the throttle, the car just wants to do a nice 4 wheel drift when approaching the traction limit in corners.

Got some liquid glass from eBay and my Whipple 3.625 pulley came in!

Awesome! Can't wait to hear of the results with LG.

Which bushings did you go with? I went aluminum lol

 

[robertwsimpson]

happy birthday!

nice list you got going there!

 

[HISSMAN]

I am going with the firm poly's. I really considered aluminum, but after dealing with some bad NVH with my GT500, I just don't want to go with solid bushings again, at least until I decide to go full on racecar with this one.

Saturday I did my first mods, simple stuff so far.

- Boss 302 blue valve covers
- Sound tube delete (engine bay looks SO much better now)
- Redline hood struts
- DiodeDynamics LED rear markers
- LED bulbs in front markers and turns
- GT350 Red Start Button

Where did you get your LED's ? ebay ? link?

Ordered my sound tube delete kit yesterday!
Ordered my GT350 steering wheel & shifter knob last week & the week before.

Now if I can just get my car in!! ETA is 9/8 to 9/14. :-/

Going back & forth if I want the red start button. I actually think the GT350 shifter knob matches the silver with red ring of the GT better.

P.S. I like your car line up. Mine was almost the same:
2017 Mustang GT PP
2015 F150
2015 Acadia Denali (I wanted the Explorer Sport, but wife got to pick since its her car)

Ordered the UPR DVCC, Speed Factory FMIC, new spark plugs, Cobb Accessport, and Tune+ lifetime tune

4 weeks and 2 days since my surgery and the Mustang has been in storage just waiting for me to spend money. Feeling better and getting around much easier then was originally planed. Added the Ford Performance Radiator Cover. One of the items you don't see is the Airaid Throttle Body Spacer. Some will say it was a waste of money and others will say good things. I can only say good low end torque. The Boomba Racing Transmission Mount and the Shifter Assemble Bracket will have to wait an extended amount of time due to healing up from the surgery. One big thing not in the picture, but has been ordered are the JLT Painted Engine and Coil Covers.

I got LEDs on Amazon and the DiodeDynamics sidemarkers from LMR.

Front turns: https://amzn.com/B00WVZV074
Front marker lights: https://amzn.com/B01G1NFCD4
Rear sidemarkers: https://lmr.com/item/DIO-1071R/diode-dynamics-mustang-led-rear-sidemarker-red-lens-15-16

I did the DIY sound tube delete (1" rubber chair foot for the intake, Ford master cylinder gasket for the firewall). Getting to the firewall is a PITA, but I didn't want to leave the hole open. You barely notice it's a rubber chair foot, and it's temporary until I get a CAI anyway.

Edit: I forgot a caveat with the LED turn signals, they will make your flasher indicator in your dash weird. You won't get hyperflashing, but your indicator will flash faster and the clicker will click three times instead of once. It doesn't bother me much, but it is fixable with a resistor pack inline with each turn signal.
