What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[HISSMAN]

Do you ever have an issue with the petrol tank cover?
I have been thinking of getting one for my metallic grey Mustang...

Not a single issue. It is a solid piece and works like it came on the car for the factory. :cheers:

Bleeding the brakes. any good way to do this by myself?

I use this a Motive Power Bleeder and it surprisingly fits other cars I have too. They have a application guide you can check to see if this will work with other vehicles you may have. I don't fill the bottle with brake fluid (too lazy to clean it), but I just create a pressure and keep pumping it. Then check the bleeding and go back to pumping it / refill with more brake fluid and repeat. Fast way is to just the bottle with brake fluid and pump away, but you will have to clean it afterwards.

Technically nothing to the mustang, but it did look good while I was building a picnic table

too bad I didn't know about this last Spring when I did my 08's brake fluid.

Got rid of this piece of crap and put the Steeda billet one in. Very easy install, took less than 15 minutes once the car was on jack stands.

I noticed a slight increase in vibrations from the shifter, but I was expecting it. It feels like a T56 now with the shifter mounted directly onto the trans as far as vibration goes.

However, the ease of shifting is dramatically increased. For the first time in 15,000 miles with this car I was able to effortlessly snatch a 2-3 shift at 7200rpm and it went right in instead of feeling like I was stirring a bowl of spaghetti. Very much worth the $75 since I didn't feel like doing the whole shifter yet.

Motive bleeder is good - just use the recommended psi from Ford - 30-50psi if I remember right. Personally I use a Mity Vac. No helpers needed. No bottles of clean fluid needed.

Scorpion EXO R410 helmet came in (Snell 2015 approved, $76 shipped, woohoo.) but can't make it to TNT @Gainesville tomorrow. Gotta wait a few more weeks. UGG.

I've got the Motive setup, but still prefer the old school method pumping the brakes. Love the small Motive bottles used to collect the old fluid though. Very handy!

Please don't go too high on the PSI. It isn't pleasant when you do...

I have a Mityvac too, but used it for clutch bleeding instead of brake bleeding . Regarding PSI, I didn't know there was a recommended pressure to keep it at lol. I was fine bleeding it at 9-13 PSI. Used a clear tube at the calipers to see the fluid come out into a big jug I used. I thought about getting the little collection bottle, but decided to just get a longer tube to reach the jug lol.


Anyway, what I did to my Mustang (two days ago): fixed my A/C! My condenser leaked and I thought I had a dreaded evap issue, but ended up just replacing the condenser and recharging the system. Blowing a strong and cool 40.3 degrees F.

Update: Just bought a few things for the build. Summer's coming up and it's autocross season, so I figured I better get the intercooler.

Ended up getting the MAPerformance IC direct from the website which has a nifty coupon (SPRING5) worth $27 off. (Also used the Affirm loan to spread the purchase cost out over 6 months with just $40 in interest. Well worth it to me.)

Also bought some rear powder coated aluminum fin diffusers (for non premium package) from a guy on FB who had good reviews.

The painted GT350R spoiler is shipping out tomorrow from RPI Design's paint shop after waiting a month for it.

Hopefully will get it all in next week and get it installed before next Sunday's autocross!

I like to use affirm when you get the no-interest option. Did that with both my purple mattress and my new Krona catback. I pay it back in like 2-3 months but its nice to be able to spread it out if I want to.

If you haven't installed your Krona yet you're gonna love it :cheers:

Oh its on, went on the minute it got delivered. Absolutely love it. Best quality exhaust I think I've ever seen, its a shame to hide it under the car.

I love seeing everyone getting their Spring fresh exterior detail going. Gets me excited to do mine. [MENTION=25003]wireeater[/MENTION] I'm not sure if its how you take your pics but I love how you've done your cars, first the OW and now the 18

Thanks, appreciate it. Nothing but a cellphone and eyeballs.
