What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Nagare]

Picked up a Roush CAI for mine tonight, might put it on this weekend, or wait for some nice clear weather...aka at least a week away.

Put on the strut tower brace and took a spirited drive on some curvy back roads. Definitely tightened up the front.

Went to Cars and Coffee and meet a 2018 RR

Cleaned and recharged the K&N Air Filter this morning.

With the 285 tires which throw up a lot onto the front fenders, rocker panels and lower doors, I Installed a pair of ZL1 Addons Mustang 14'-18' Deluxe Rock Guards - FRONT for added protection. Easy install. They are not too noticeable.

Finally got around to installing BMR 4 point front chassis subframe brace, Steeda IRS rear subframe braces, Steeda clutch assist spring, JLT 3.0 passenger side catch can, and changed tranny fluid to BG Synchro II. Still have to do front and rear ZL1 addons. Ran out of time.

Nice compliment of parts!

Finished up my Thinkware F800 Pro dash cam install by adding a Cellink Neo battery pack for parking mode. The most convenient place for the Neo battery pack was the glove box, I don't keep much in there anyway. I put a piece of foam on the bottom of the battery pack to keep it from sliding/rattling and used some velcro strips to secure it, it doesn't move.

Both front and rear cameras were simple to install as was the Neo battery pack. Here's the front camera, pretty stealthy, people outside the car don't notice it.

Obligatory footage....

Went to the drag strip. Car does not like heat. Ran a 14.5. I believe corrected to sea level it would have been a 13.96 so I was happy. Da was 3550 and my iat was 126, 80 degree ambiant.

I discovered that my Shaker pro has actual bass when listening to music via streaming instead of sirius.

Got the Roush CAI installed this morning, took all of 15 minutes at most. No driving yet, might wait to see if the roads drive up at all otherwise will see how it is tomorrow on the way to work.

:ford: :cheers:

Am I the only one around here that thinks the new Ford GT rear end looks like the green pig from angry birds?

I can't get the image out of my head lol.

That has got to be one of the nicest V6 engine bays I have ever seen. For what it’s worth I like the look of the old 3.7 without a cover as it still looks like a traditional engine.


Two things I did today. Just after midnight I ran over a raccoon. Two of them were in the curb side and I just noticed them as they looked up at me straight in the eyes and tried to scatter but I felt the rear wheel run over one of them. It just felt sickening so I still kept going () but looked in the mirror to see if I left a corpse behind. I only saw one running across the road so I figured he survived or maybe the carcass was was still under the car. I went to one bank and pulled out some money. Then went to another bank to put some of that money in a business acccount. Then I steeled myself to look under the car. All I saw was some fur stuck on one of the lower rear wheel arms. Most everything looked ok but I had no phone or flash light so I took it on the highway to wash (it was raining) any possible blood off the underside. Next morning I raced his Subaru WRX and was impressed with what he did to the car. Then off to look at some Corvettes with the other old farts.

I’m keeping the V6 as all the new 2017s GTs are gone and now the 2018s are having A10 tranny trouble at 4000 miles so no new car for me. I keep cars forever so you will be looking at the last Mustang V6 owner ever. I can live with that epithet.

Definitely plan on getting a pair of these, I like practical even if no one else notices.

Saw this Friday and jumped on Amazon to order. They just arrived, perfect fit, look factory. Nice low cost upgrade!

The shaker pro sounds awesome through Google music / Bluetooth. It's all I use. I think that's why some people think this system is terrible vs others that don't. Depends on your music / stream source. Bluetooth 2.0/3.0/4.0 and the different Bluetooth protocols within each version. I noticed an increase in the quality of music going from my Galaxy s6 to the s8. The overall sound quality got clearer / louder and the bass is increased as well.

It's comparable to the stereo in my G37 which is pretty great in my opinion. But everyone's ears are different so what sounds good to one's ears may sound like muddy poop to another.

I can still hear those high frequency sounds that your not supposed to be able to hear after your 18 and i'm 36 so maybe I'm just a freak lol
