What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[JohnnyGT]

Curbed my damn wheel.

Well, didn't really do anything to my gt today but she was there while I tried putting air into my Honda's (2003 accord) front passenger tire. Didn't work.... so I took it off and put the spare tire on today so I can sell the Honda. Tire was so bad. Was sitting there for the past two months, it's toast. But I have a buyer so... can't complain. It actually drives fine just needs new tires and some minor replacements. Car still starts and runs without a problem. I finally stopped being lazy and did it.

Now you just need to swap the spare to the rear and put the full size on the drive wheels.

Spare should never go on a drive wheel. Especially not on a FWD. Do the shuffle and swap it onto the rear.

Beat me to it by a second.

Thanks but it's ok. Guy is coming with a flat truck to get it. He can do it himself. I honestly did it so the wheel is not sitting on the ground after a while.

..... I always see people with a spare in the front.

Never knew the info about tire not recommended on the drive tire. makes since as they aren't designed for torque/want the least amount of exertion on them id reckon

 

[EmCel]

Yes, and those people are stupid

thanks for the heads up tho. I didn't know that. If it's absolutely necessary then you can do it and drive a short distance to a shop or something.

It's bad for the diff. Plus on a FWD vehicle you're now asking the donut to put down power, turn, and brake. It's just a bad idea all around.

Sure it's fine for short distances. Although I see too many Civic's with a front donut going 80+ on the beltway

ive never had to use a doughnut, ive been fortunate to where I could get pumped up and make it home between trips.

Does anyone know if theres a fix for this without getting an entire new assembly? I dont even know how this happened, theres no visible damage, blind spot still works, im just missing the pony light and it kinda bugs the hell out of me.

It is a spare tire, intended purpose quick fix. Nothing more to know.

I believe the pony light is a seprate self contained part.

How it happened, did you park the car anywhere on SW 8st or in Hialeah ?

LOL could not help myself....... bring the flag if you move ..

Cheers

Of all the things I did this winter (new grill with Velossa tech big mouths inlets, new chin spoiler from AirDesigns, new steering wheel, digital gauges, PP gauges, new speakers, new armrest and knee bolsters etc) I took it to the dealer for a free oil change, and the kid who drives the cars to you wanted a picture of it (nice kid) and then I got a call today from someone at the dealership asking about the Ford overlay decal on the windshield from Zombie. It was one of the cheapest mods I've done and it's very subtle, yet somehow it stands out well. and of course I don't have a good picture of it.

Had the PP1 wheels that I bought off of @NoVaGT wrapped in Conti DWS06+ and installed.

Having a Ravelco device installed in about an hour. https://nohotwire.com/

Tomorrow is 3M Crystalline window tint all around and Xpel paint protection.

I realize this is an old post, but how has having the Ravelco been with daily driving/use? I had a family member who's SUV was just stolen yesterday from the office garage, and now I am researching the Ravelco for my Mustang. Thanks for any tips.
