What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Arknsawchuck]

it is very hard to find ammo here
got good stock on 5.56 3k
running very very short on 9mm about 250

Reloading is the way to go with 9mm. Although even reloading supplies are tough to get these days too. But a box of 100 coated rounds can be reloaded for around 5 bucks a box.

Letting rain wash grit off my clean car. Stays parked under shed so never really gets dirty.

Gave the car a much needed wash

Did you change your trunk struts, I change mine and water was coming in the trunk, dealer fix it for free.

I have never touched them... but that make me curious.

Discovered I made a very costly mistake, apparently Michelin 305/35/20 and 285/35/20 tires have a taller sidewall than my previous 35 tires. Ugh, now I have rubbing with the Steeda minimum drop springs (only .5" lower all around too). I would have ordered the 30's had I known, never crossed my mind that they would be different. So now I have to install rear spring spacers back to factory ride height and Steeda front camber plates with their adjustable ride height kit. 4th time is a charm I suppose. The car will still look lowered even though technically its not but due to variations from Ford I guess my car was lower to begin with.

I ordered 275/40/19 for my 9.5 wheel because my 255 is too small, we test fit a 275 today, and it was barely flush with my rim, like still looked sorta small for this damn wheel face.

we tossed a 285/35/19 on my wheel as test fit. dats it. everyone agreed, it only ads a slight hair of protection and fills it out. I am kinda sad I have wheel gap, but it is what it is.

we tossed it on front and back of car, forgot to take more photos. but here it is with it on rear. I have 5mm spacer all way around, it does poke a hair in the back, and flush in front. if I remove the rear 5mm spacer, I wonder if the front will be further out than rear?

does anyone know how many MM difference between front and back of car to make them flush? if its 5mm difference, I may remove the spacer on rear.

heres the photos I did take though. I have to have 5mm due to if not I will hit my caliper on front.


pic has the 285 on back. hoping my lug nuts show up friday too. I can have new wheels and lugs all installed together.

I uploaded the 2nd revision from Purple Drank Tuning to my car today, the revision also includes a 10R80 TCM tune in addition to the ECU tune.

The car is coming along great and I cannot be happier with the fantastic job the tuning company has been doing on my car in terms of making it faster.

Traded it

For what ?

Changed my order from 275/40/19 to 185/35/19 after test fitting

The 285’s fit my wheels better the rear was test wheel. Friday should get em

Wheel/tire specs?

How much did the fenders get pulled, and did the rears need it?

How long have you been with the S.O.

20x9.5/11 Rotiform KPS wheels with an +25 offset for a deep concave.
Tires are 265/305/35/20

Fender pulling was $160 at a local shop. Only pulled them about .5"-1" to flare them. No more rubbing unless I hit a significant road imperfection at speed.

I did datalogging with my COBB AP today and sent the logs to the tuning company (PD Tuning) I am working with.

The car is currently on its second tune revision and with the addition of the 10R80 tune, the car absolutely pulls hard during wide open throttle accelerations. The transmission shifts a lot better now with the tune (quicker, smoother, and more crisp) compared to oem stock.

Peak boost is now 25.XX psi and from the look of the datalogs the tuner might be able to squeeze even more power within the safety parameters.
