What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[FreePenguin]

Received this message from Ford Pass today "Your vehicle is in Deep Sleep mode and connectivity is temporarily unavailble". I got this message after being away for 17 days. I have it on a battery maintainer but guess the time not started is what causes it to automatically go into Deep Sleep, and not a drop in battery voltage. Oh well, I'll be home tomorrow and will try to let her out of the stable. I did buy her a few presents while away, so that should take care of the lonesomeness.

strange figure it wouldn't give that message on a tinder. I just replaced the key fobs batteries today, ordered some cr2052 or 2025 or whatever off amazon, lithium version. hopefully last many more years

Since I'm not the original owner, I decided to change the spark plugs after owning this car for over a year and now has 64k miles. I found out that this is not an old school Mustang like in the days of yore... This was a bit more of a "glad there's a YouTube video" task. Most of the old Motorcraft plugs were gapped at .045" and I found 2 that were gapped at .040". I installed NGK LTR6IX 6509 plugs and set the gaps at .050". Took the car out for a spirited run down the interstate and the response feels better.

I picked it up from the shop. Ass end does appear to be a tad bit lower. But I’m in love. Haha.

That is really low in the rear!

I want a 3D printer but couldn't think of anything to make
What else have you made?

I got it as a gift and haven't used it much at all. The GT logo was the third thing I made. The first was a little dog sculpture as a test print, and the other was the same GT logo, but in bright orange.

Thinking about upgrading my base non performance ecoboost radiator to a CSF ecoboost radiator. I’m leaning towards them over mishimoto due to them being sold by steeda and I trust steeda.

the photos of their radiators also look quite nice

can anyone who knows anything or owns one comment?

Friday was finally install day and I'm dumb enough to not have taken pics while we were under the car. Installed @SteedaTech's STH kit, subframe alignment kit, and jacking rails and @LethalPerformance's HH pipe. Still need to install Cevini's top and bottom grilles and @VelossaTech's snorkels.

But I did get a cold start video earlier today, so hopefully that'll suffice.

Ya got cooling problems, winter is a funny time to find one if yes.

Sorry I should of specified

my car is summer only, it’s already been store for 3 months in garage. Will come out in 3 more months

this was summertime. The guage cluster can go from green to yellow,Itl go back to green but have to go easy.

I figure since I’m base ecoboost radiator an upgrade isn’t bad idea.

found a chart on mishimoto showing base/perf pack ecoboost radiator stats

so in theoryI have cooling of 384, I get the csf should Atleast match the cooling of perf pack ecoboost radiator of 552

it’s single row too. Would csf double row yield much more cooling? Prob twice the cooling of my current rad

to be honest my current rad is proably Just fine, it’s been fine 27k lol but ya know how it goes.

Would going from base ecoboost rad to csf be worrhwhile?

Oh I get the thinking, a coin toss for sure. The readings, in heavy slow moving traffic?

I took it out like two days, that was to get my new wheels installed and again for new tread it needed, I’m sure you saw photos. I kinda posted em everywhere

but man!The turbo rips so hard in 0-30* temps, it pulls hard but it rips quite a bit harder. Was fun

I don’t drive winter due to salt and brine on roads, it has a tendency to do bad things to cars

my winter car loves salt, it’s basically a salted margarita or pretzel. Giant chunks of salt literally stick to it like a pretzel.

I don’t really “need” a radiator, but I’ve literally upgraded every other piece on car, full suspension, braking, engine, tune, exhaust, the last thing is stock radiator, I even have aftermarket inyercooler

the fact that I did get into yellow when playing on dash did make me consider a new radiator but didn’t feel need

but now it’s winter and im
Bored so...

I got mine ceramic coated over the weekend!

So, the empty space below the base sync system was bothering me, so I came up with something to fill it using my 3d printer...

Not sure what I think...

Have you thought of paint filling the recessed area of the badge with NFG ... ?
