What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[15GTPP]

Bought a triple pump system with rails, BIg red race valve, and Racestar 17x10.5 with Mickey Thompson et street R in 305/45/17

Was about to purchase the same rear setup this past weekend. By any chance do you know if the the wheels are currently in stock most places?

How sturdy is that? I've had my trunk liner get pushed into the wheel well by heavy things in the trunk.

No no no, the engine block goes in the passenger seat.

What?

Don't be ridiculous, I don't want oil on my leather. Slightly related, I once put 40-ft of sectioned pine log in my Sentra...

It was being built and wasn't cleaned up and had metal shavings in it, I was returning it to get it right. The machinist stopped in his tracks when I pulled that bare302 block out of the passenger seat of the fox body it was going into, set it in front of him and asked if it was his best work.

Interesting... Does it improve the stock speaker sound ? (9 speaker)

I'm sure it does, you just have to be more careful about how you adjust the bass in the manual EQ, because with that disabled you can and will blow the stock speakers if you're mean to them.

Gave it a bath and applied the first coat of Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. So far I'm impressed with this stuff. Shined up real nice.

That stuff works really well, BUT it doesn't last that long from what I've noticed. At least they make it really easy to spray on and wipe off while you're drying the car. You'll want to do a maintenance coat every single wash. I've been using Turtle Wax Seal & Shine because it lasts a ridiculously long time. But it's more annoying to apply, the paint needs to be cool and out of the sun.

Pressure washed my driveway so she looks good rolling out.

Beautiful garden you have there.

A new toy arrived to help keep the Pony clean. Can't wait to get it all set up, bring on the weekend!

Can you elaborate a little bit? I'm curious...

I used FORScan to access the ACM. I changed this setting - 727-01-02-0100 0000 0032 to 727-01-02-0000 0000 0032. That puts the EQ built into the factory amp to "flat" and removes the bass roll off at upper volume levels. Still lets you adjust the EQ settings in the radio. This was on the base 6 speaker stereo.

I realize it's not a real ceramic coating. As part of my detailing routine, I would always use Simoniz Waterless Wash & Wax while the car wasn't completely dry. This was great in preventing water spots and streaks. So I figured this hybrid ceramic wax would work even better and I like the results. It fits into my detail routine and provides an even greater shine. It makes the black plastic trim look great too. With my car parked indoors all the time, I'm sure it will last long enough to get me from wash to wash.

cut the center speaker wire under kick panel if you have 9 or 12 speaker.

its even better.

Interested in this. Can you expand on this a little bit?, will this make anything unheard through the center speaker?, why does this improve the sound quality?, and which wire exactly should be cut?
A lot of questions

With warm weather looking like it’s going to stick around, I finally got to throw the Apex wheels on. Shitty pictures but this weekend’s weather looks promising so I should have more to come
