What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Crayon]

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

Nice, I wonder if the upcoming higher performance GT model would be enough. I hope I can try one someday soon.

2/25/2021:

I cleaned the car's air filter and re-oiled it earlier today.

Later in the afternoon...

My tuner sent me a E30 tune revision, I uploaded that to my car and went datalogging. Afterwards I went to my local station to refill (E30 mix).

The car pulls hard and drives smooth.

Isn't E30 base fuel like 87 octane ? Cause if that's the case it's only like 90 octane.

No, the gas station offers E85 and 93 fuel, I added a bit of both (using COBB AP to find fuel level and used the TunePlus website tool to calculate correct mixture: Use the tool below to calculate an ethanol mix! – TunePlus, Inc).

There is a guy here in town that has a C8 Vette in that color also. Yikes on the finger.

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.

Sounds like an idea date

I washed the car and vacuumed it out to get it ready for a date. She hadn't seen the car yet so I was nervous about her reaction to it (you never know with people these days). We went for a rip up the canyons and she loved the car and loved ripping the canyons. We made a couple stops and every time we were walking back she kept saying how gorgeous the car looked. I love it when people connect with the car, it takes on a life of it's own.

Very nice. I've never been lucky enough to catch them testing the new Z06 when I'm in Colorado.

I went to the local Murphy station which was torn down last year and rebuilt from the ground up. Much cleaner and more open space since the rebuild. They now offer 93 EtOH free premium at every pump of which is 50 cents per gallon cheaper than the Phillips 66 station for the same grade of EtOH free premium. I filled up and grabbed a Major Melon Zero. Installed the Ford Performance Carbon Fiber shift knob for a more subtle look compared to the original cue ball and called it a day.

Jack Roush must have used the Way Back Machine....

This is the genuine Jack Roush:

You must be referring to Jack’s son, Jack Roush, Junior.

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

For future reference, you want to look at total trim for each bank which is Short term + long term. So if you reset the memory and the short term is at 10% but the long term is at 0, the long term will eventually go to 10% and the short term will go back to 0. Anything +/- 5% for total trim is in spec.

Exhaust leaks will cause lean trims, so always the first thing to check when you do exhaust related work.

ha yeah. This was like 10-13% LTFT and 5-8% stft both positive. It would get lower under load.

now it’s basically 0. The trims are almost 99% balancing eachother out under idle and load.
Being torqued more on one side just must of let a hair of air come in on other side/

I installed it from below, so didn’t see the clamps from above like tonight when I noticed. I wonder if Itl feel stronger once she’s fully relearned: I reset kamafter the correction

Finished blacking out the emblems. Took me about 3 h (6 thin layers of PlastiDip). Still waiting for the black license plates.

Next step will be the GT350 lowering springs and the spacers (20 mm in the back and 25 mm in the front). I have a MagneRide car, so I can't use bolt on spacers. Will probably get the extended studs and the slip on spacers from Optimum Performance. Still trying to figure out if I can just replace the studs without major problem (will probably go to the shop to do so)

this afternoon, I removed the canvas of the mustang and I took the mustang out.I needed my lift to change oil from my focus, still a lot of snow here
