It’s been a long time researching.

After a year and a half finally got to go boosted! Still needs some final touches. No OPG/CS yet, still conflicted there.

Don't quote me on anything.

OPG and CS are a no question upgrade if/when I go boost.

There is a cost there, but I wouldn't hesitate spending it for the peace of mind.

Yeah it's def on my mind and something I've debated. Just based on what I read and amount of people I've seen not doing it without many failure posts. Figured I would do without until I go more power or start racing it.

A few track days and less than 2,000 miles on the car and the rear diff fluid smelt and looked pretty bad. Glad I changed it today. Hopefully that’s the most debris I see on the drain plug for a while. Nothing alarming.
Sine I overheated the rear diff, I’m going to test out the BG 75w140.

Also just booked a track-day next Friday, so wrapping the rear exhaust soon too.

BOY. Don't I know that. Took me like a month to pull a trigger on winter wheels and rims last year for something I arguably have on the car only 1/4 of the year...

Custom Savini M14 brushed chrome. Front: 19x9.5 275/40/19….Rear: 20x11 305/30/20. Old school stance!! I can’t wait to show it. Tires: Nitto S555 G2’s.
Am curious to see how it fits, PP1 and Bullitt should have same suspension specs, so if it'll fit on your Brembos, should mine.
I might copy your homework for the future.

How many miles to change this? I've just hit 25k miles with just one track day (another possibly coming up). I assume you track it way more often and have higher mileage?

We used my recently acquired Stop-n-Go plug-based kit which has a design error that I will be bringing to the manufacturer's attention. And @EmCel helped with getting lug nuts on/off. We had to borrow a 1400ft/lb handheld Milwaukee impact wrench to get the rear lugs off. I didn't have a cheater for the breaker bar and all 250+lb of me standing on the end didn't even budge.

A couple more pics of the final result. Long-time members will recognize the rims that previously adorned my N4G Ecoboost.

And of course I had to make sure the tires gripped properly and went for a 3hr drive around the back-country roads in the area. They are 265/40 PIrelli COrsa w/ 80 rating supposedly but I seriously question the veracity of that.
So after I leave, you finally find the right tool......

Damn those look good. But at an 80 wear rating, you better not drive it much. These are the tires, right?
