What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[The Demon]

Oil change and inspection at Levittown Ford.
My third car from them. As usual, free oil and free inspection.
Took 45 minutes.

Very nice. I always work at least free oil changes for the life of my car into my deals. Nice call.

LOL!! My friend that I do track with calls that my Camry - it’s a Lexus! LOL I call his 911 a smashed-slug-bug, nicknamed by my daughter. And Dixie is a wire-haired pointing griffon. She’s super shaggy right now and needs a cut lol.

I’m working on the other side right now, had to rent different spring compressors - mine didn’t work. I’ll keep ya posted!

Side note, these pads are about toast right? Man, they didn’t last long!

Also - the Autozone spring compressors kick ass. Free rental too. Doesn’t get much better than that.

I’ve never seen a spring compressor like that one. Pretty nice tool, they have come a long way. I’m used to blowing out springs on the Fox era of Mustangs and never used one like that tool you have there.

New day new problem. Touch screen went black for about an hour today. Touch functions worked, but screen off. A few restarts did nothing. It came back on its own eventually while I was driving home.

Ford quality.

Changed the oil. My buddy has a 4 post lift in his shop, so I didn't have to roll my fat ass around on the floor.
Don't have any pictures to post of the oil changing.
And hopefully no pictures exist anywhere of me rolling my fat ass around on the floor.

I’ve taken apart coil overs more times than I ever should have, using my trusty OEM set - but I modified them so I can adjust my coils on my truck without removing them. They are sketchy. Which now they’re useless for any other vehicle.
These clamp style from Autozone are incredibly safe, super quick, and super easy to use - highly recommend them. I didn’t know they existed either - until today. $200.00 if I decide to keep them. Wife says I have too many tools, so I’ll probably just return them.

Anyone else have to do this? Couldn’t figure out how in the hell to keep the rear of the car supported so I could drop the rear subframe - so I cut a slit for the pinch weld with an angle grinder in one of my jack stands.
If you don’t hear from me tomorrow - I’ll be crushed underneath the S550 lol.

I love this car. But damn! I've had more problems in 10 months than I've had with my Lexus in over 11 years. Granted getting an aftermarket tune on a brand new car might not have been the best idea.

Still though I can't stop looking at boost options.

I’ve thought about the idea just to smooth out the A10 shifting, but I keep talking myself out of it thankfully. :-)

Welp, Steeda dual-rates are in and I’m not dead…..it doesn’t look much lower dangit. :-/

It will once the springs settle from the weight of the car

Its like when my phone disconnects for no reason and won't reconnect unless I restart the car lol

Added my new wheel from Dynaperformance that retains the heated wheel option. Looks and feels great!

Does the actual heat option work?!? How is it compared to OEM heat?

Trunk pop kit. 5 minute install.

Please make a test with a cardboard cause mine with those strut, the water was leaking in the trunk big time. they fix it at the dealer no charge.
