What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Bob_Whit]

Hey DIB16GT
I live near Village too, right by Pops.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Oh, I also washed the car now that it's driving weather finally. Unfortunately, it's going into the dealer for a loud whine coming from the passenger side of the engine. Had to take off my aftermarket intake & return the tune to stock.

Every Tuesday in Mequon there is a show called Brew City Cruise night that usually has a pretty good turn out. They have a theme each night for their "showcase row."

Here is their site for themes. BrewCityCruiseNight



I'm from Grafton but my Grandmother lives near the Village Bowl; Its definitely a small world.



Facebook is the best way to figure out where shows are and when. Cars & Coffee Lake Mills is usually pretty good too. They host the show the first Sunday of every month at 8am; the first one is the 6th of May.

There are Supercar Saturdays near Chicago once a month as well; this is actually a really nice meet. Usually really nice cars. I would suggest getting an IPass if you dont have one already.

Thanks Ben,
I will have to check some of these out, especially the Brew City meet. It's approx 1.5 hours away, but they sound like some worthwhile events to go to...

We need to get back on the '40 build. Since we bought the Mustangs it's been on the back burner.

That's awesome Bill.
Do you and your wife do the builds yourselves?

How are the new Brembo's treating you? Thinking about doing the upgrade along with the Z26 pads later this year

Mounted my Pike Pass, mounted my V1 radar detector and shined my tires!

Freaking awesome. Stop like no body's business. I've been intentionally braking late and hard. Great pedal feel, consistent feel, stops well, no fade. I've been really aggressive trying to see if there is any fade or other issues. So far no issues.

I replaced the chrome badges with the black ones. I also took my car in and had the windows tinted 5% all the way around.

Summer wheels are on at last!

 

[rum_punch_ruby]

Put on cf center console, knee bolsters, e-brake handle, and shift knob. Also swapped on rear summer wheels and 20mm spacers with the fronts going on tomorrow.

Snow tires and OE rims are off, summer tires and aftermarket rims are back on where they belong. Also swapped out brake rotors for new Baer Eradispeed+ rotors. Between rotors and rims, I just lost 100 pounds of unsprung weight and rotating mass. If it ever stops raining, I'll find out how it feels without all that extra fat.

Also added some cheap chrome-ish bits of trim to the interior cuz I like shiny.

You wouldn't switch sides, you should have one on both sides. The driver's side is the clean air in side. The passenger side is the dirty air out side. With N/A, the intake is almost always under vacuum, so the dirty side is drawing out and the clean side is drawing in. In a boosted application, the intake can actually be pressurized and can push back out the clean side.

Emailed Vinny about adding the passenger side...got this in return.

Today I scheduled to go into Dallas Mustang on Monday morning to get a dyno pull session. I don't have a baseline pre-FPPP2 and Exhaust, but I do want to know where I'm at now. Plus, I don't really plan many other HP gaining mods, and will be concentrating on suspension next.

I'm also having them put quick-latches on for the front fascia/bumper, I'm not brave enough to drill my own. I hope Ford fixes that front bumper tab weakness in the next iteration! I had said before I wouldn't do it, when the same tab broke on my EB, but on the GT with the look I'm going for, it should be fine.

Tomorrow my Steeda G-Trac K 4 point brace should arrive, and this weekend the IRS rear-brace and G-Trac will be installed. Additionally, I'll swap out my transmission fluid to the BG.

Looking good Brother, amazing how a tint makes such a difference!

Not sure how you have it plumbed, but I'm sure JLT wouldn't steer you wrong. I'd just be curious with the passenger side capped how it's evacuating when it's in vacuum and not in boost.
