What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[shogun32]

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

I'm not sure if what I have are the '4' but they are the Corsa. 265/40 though. They are wearing pretty good so I'm not putting much stock in the '80' wear rating.

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...


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?

The car is brand new (purchased last month) about 1800 miles total on the car. Did you overheat the rear diff on the track? Mine has seen appx 2.5hrs on track, and it’s been pushed hard on the road. I’d change your fluid as soon as possible. I’ll probably set intervals based on track hours, which will vary if I overheat the rear diff again.

I was able to get this done this morning/last night. Hopefully it helps.

Dang. Now you got me worried. Seems like changing the fluid is easy though, or nah?
It was a track day, so realistically about the same amount of driving on track as your 2.5hrs.

You have a PP1, so our clearances will be just about the same. I got lifting rails on, but they're useless as my jack is too tall anyway.

Could you share what ramps you got? I wanna be able to use them for oil change too...

4th day driving it to reset the monitors after a battery change. I forget to plug in the memory saver, left it on the passenger seat. Good excuse to go driving, but I hope they set soon as the inspection is due soon.

I vote we let @FreedomPenguin back onto the forum if he uses his windfall riches from EB sale and buys this puppy to satisfy his lust for Grabber Blue.

I've always loved the Boss 9's. One beastly sounding car, that really performs with a few tweaks. Nothing the stock 2018 GT doesn't do performance wise better though (except that sound) Since a Boss 9 wouldn't be affordable or practical to drive even a limited amount, I'm very happy with my 2018.

I would change it if I were you. It’s probably not needed right this minute, but sooner than later for sure.
The change is easy. I didn’t add friction modifier because where I bought the fluid from said it wasn’t needed if you’re tracking your car often. I just used a handheld oil pump ($12) and taped the tube ends to the quarts of fluid, climbed under the car as it sits (not on stands) and drained/filled. I used a piece of glossy cardboard to check the oil level prior to removal, and just filled back up to that same level.

I’m not sure on my ramps, I’ve had them for 15 years. I just used them for the wrap.

Please share the vendor details.

And mail me the socket you used.

I had it fitted for me as it was pennies extra to be done so I can't advise socket size I'm afraid :-(

I'm also located in the UK so not sure it'd be economical for you my dude!
