What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[shogun32]

I think I tried to pop them off. They wasn’t budging. What size crush washers are they?

wait, you're talking about the 'captive' washers? those aren't strictly speaking 1-time use.

Wait, are you running two different sets of tires?

Yes. Had a damaged Pirelli all season on the rear with 27K miles, and replaced two rears two weeks ago. Was going to wait until March to put 2 more new ones on the front, but I noticed my inspection sticker expires at the end of February. The new tires have a deep tread, and are super quiet. The steering has been a little squirrely so it's time. $599 for two more, OTD. I was just hoping to squeeze a few weeks out to pay cash rather than raid my savings, but this needs done.

Do you think they last, 2 installs? From oem to aftermarket and then back to oem?

only thing is my friend is a damn gorilla and he made them extremely tight on aftermarket we used his lift lol washers had no chance if they are limited to a couple uses.

I made them tight as I could get them when I just put them back on oem.


does weather impact long term fuel? Ie. Winter make it add fuel? Reason I ask, driving around it was4-6% long term trims.
I know the downpipe is seated firmly on the doughnut gasket. Don’t think there’s any leaking

I don't know the torque values off hand but it ain't much. finger tight then 1/2 turn or so. probably on the order of 18ft/lb, maybe as high as 25.

Yeah....... these are like 80lb torqued when went on aftermarket pipe

whwn I put them on the oem downpipe last week. It was,spin, then stop. No more moving, not anudge

gatornek to the Rescue he just messaged me he’s sending me his oem ones, only been on his original downpipe. Hip hip hurray

 

[FreePenguin]

Do you think it’s o2 sensor? Is it normal for +10

I reset kam. Now it’s adding 10% to stft. Doesn’t that seem too high for idle?

After a few mins 12% ltft

LT fuel trims take a while to settle - I would check back after a few more drive cycles.

Took Mustang out today weather was great but with in 10 min I found a bolt someone lost in my left rear had 6lbs in it by the time I got to tire shop 4 miles away

Finally bought some Gorilla spline lug nuts.. Now I don't need a 21mm on some lugs, 22mm on other stock Ford lugs haha.

I had an issue with my long term trim being like 10-15% I found my downpipe bolt was a bit unaligned I just loosened retughtened them and it appears to have fixed, now they are 4% and trimming faster.

I also didn’t wait long enough to try to mess with them,touched finger and felt like the damn finger got stuck felt like ate it off. Massive blister. Darnit

went to Sam’s club just now and saw a slick ass corvette.

Drove one for a couple of days , not impressed with performance . It is a cool tech car though.
