What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[decableguy2000]

Took a drive Sunday down some nice back roads to a fishing village on the Bay of Fundy.
I have 15mm H&R spacers on my PP wheels and SVE lowering 1” springs for the look I wanted. I had to replace the studs to get this spacing but didn’t want the “poke” of 25mm spacers.

15mm front and rear?

15mm front and rear?

Yes, I had to remove the hubs in the rear to install the studs, but not in the front.

At the alignment shop now, after lowering mine. Have been thinking of adding spacers. I really like tje look with the 15's.

This got my attention... were you able to order that knob to fit your reverse lockout? The Raceseng website always shows their shift knobs with their reverse adapter, and add it to the cost. I have a Barton adapter and prefer its looks. I’ve looked high and low for a weighted knob to fit a stock or stock-ish adapter.

Absolutely. When on their site, you just have to select a “big bore” knob. The big bore knobs are machined for a pull-up style reverse lockout. The only parts I ordered were the big bore slammer knob, and the necessary 0811010 adapter. Fits like a glove. The slammer is 635 grams!

Attached is a screen shot of my exact order. Obviously you don’t have to go with a custom knob, but I didn’t want any engraving and that’s the only way to get that option

You do realize kirkland(costco) is a top tier fuel, and one of the highest rated gases, right?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize Costco had it's own refinery. I'll try to remember that.

The brand on the pump doesn't reflect what refinery it came from and the refinery can change from day to day. Gasoline is piped to hubs and is the same regardless of the refinery. At the hubs, the various "brands" mix in their additives and truck it to stations.

Just out of curiosity, what's your opinion on Sunoco gas?

The point is, dedicated vs national supply fuel.

Sunoco is dedicated fuel, like Chevron, Shell, etc. Is the Costco dedicated fuel? Meaning it was specially cooked for them or does it come from national supply fuel that most refineries dump into?

 

[Linkster1666]

So you believe that Sunoco fuel is special, even though they don't have any refining operations of their own? It was already detailed above that it doesn't work that way. Bottom line is, I really don't care where you get your gas. You do you.

Sunoco is branding, I would think the racing fuel is 'dedicated' or bespoke if you will.

Installed LTH Scorpion axle backs...they're awesome.

I know it is not a S550 But this Saturday I replaced the Leather in my Nieces 06.

it took me a minute to figure out also.. i just kept turning it thinking to myself.. it should have come out by now... what i did was ended up sticking a flat head screwdriver in there, sideways, and prying up, from under the bolt head. the bolt is threaded into a sleeve, and wont come out of the sleeve. once the bolt is unscrewed all the way, the whole sleeve and bolt will come out together.

if you take a look at the ford performance instructions (https://performanceparts.ford.com/download/instructionsheets/FORDINSTSHTM-6766-A50A.PDF) in step 2, the first picture, they kind of hint at what needs to be done.. the tips of the needle nose pliers are placed underneath the bolt head, and then the handle is pressed down toward the engine, prying the bolt and sleeve out of its hole.

this is a pic of the bolt and sleeve removed, it resembles the stud and sleeve you'll replace it with.

Thank you very much!

Installed AMR wheels.

Finally got my wheels in not damaged 3rd set and finished up my calipers and painted a few engine parts I'm not sure i like? Should I put on Matte black emblems?

 

[RalphK]

Nice, are those stock rims or after market?
