What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[MM_GT]

What all is needed for for the gauge install? Tried looking it up a few weeks ago and it mentioned needing a lot more parts than what you are describing.

You need the following:
1. Dash panel that holds the gauges.
2. Smaller Dash Panels, 4 total pieces if you want all of the dash panels to match.
3. Gauges, they are both attached as one unit

Some minor trimming of your dash is required to install the gauges, I used a Dremel and it worked great. You will also need to block off the center vent ducting as it will not be used. I recommend visiting the thread here on the forum that discusses the gauge installation.

Sorry I do not have part #'s, I purchased the panels and gauges on eBay as a set.

Steeda Magneride dual rate springs, Steeda brace, FP oil separator.

You'll probably find the difference between bottom green and top green on that graph is about 30f ...

Actually, it's 138 deg F.

Happy for you. I'm fed up with Steeda right now. Communication has been shit. Finally got some parts from them that I ordered during the BF sale. No acknowledgement about the other parts I asked for specifically; several times.

Sorry to hear that, shipment for me was quick, within a week of BF.

so you fitted an extra large coolant radiator because your oil temps were high? Why not fit a thermostatically controlled oil cooler??

Because.... it seemed like a lot of work, and I know the last difference from performance pack to my base was, I don’t have a larger radiator.
I don’t want to pull my bumper and risk breaking it is my absolute fear

I am quite surprised I have installed both an intercooler and radiator without pulling bumper. Lol tiny ass hands work wonders

it just seems an odd way to try and resolve an issue by improving an area that doesn't have an issue. As long as you are happy then that's what counts

I put in a trunk net I got off Amazon I like it!

I've had one of these for years. One of the most practical mods I've ever done.

Got around to installing the RedLine Hood Struts. Came up with a nice solution to the washer hose as well.

Just a zip tie?

I'm ready to order those, what tools are needed other than a zip-tie?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience.

New set of Michelin ps4’s for the car. Taking of the cups 2’s to save them.

I'd be very interested in hearing your observations after the tire switch.

NVH? Steering feel?

I'm trying to be nice. Don't ruin it.

It does feel different. They certainly don't look as good as the cup 2's. I drove straight home because they damaged one of the wheels installing the new tires on my new car which has 420 miles on it. So i was mad and upset. The tire store will be ordering a new wheel from Ford. Maybe I'll get it out in a day are so to try them out some.

Just received a mishimoto radiator the box was open on both sides. The packing looked alright, there’s bent fins. Do these matter?

If not. Whatever I will Toss it in. It’s twice the size of my current radiator it’s crazy big

IMO - I would never accept that - not after laying out money for a brand new radiator and receiving it damaged.

If it was damaged like that, there is a high possibility the core rows were tweaked. If tweaked and not visible to the naked eye, those rows were they intersect the tanks have the possibility of having cracks and will leak in the very near future.

Call Mishimoto and tell them the unit arrived damaged.

Don't spend the time installing a damage part.

Added a Holly Sniper shift light today.
Have the FP pp3 and the car goes ape anywhere over 6k... and last thing I want to do is look down. But then missing shifts sucks too. So, problem solved!

I do like that the digi dash can flash and beep. I have mine set to 6500 to start making noise and flashing because I am with you. I do not want to look down at full boogie, even on a NA 5.0.
