What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Bulutt]

Bulutt.

I use Mothers Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax once in early spring and then follow up with Mothers California Gold Instant Detailing Spray as needed after a nice sudsy bath.

Nothing beats a track day! That looks like a nice facility too.

Installed a Barton v.2 shifter that a friend had hooked me up with. Considerable jump in precision as far as the shifting goes. The noise as well lol but F-it #trackcar. AR Oil balancing lines are next.

Got around to installing:

- FP Upgraded Rear Wheel Hub w/ARP Ext Studs + FP by ARP Ext Studs for Front Hub (To some wondering, FP sells a front hub kit for the front w/ARP studs already installed also, but for non-magride cars only; [Magride hub and knuckle are different than non-Magride cars -- If anyone's seen the GT350 front hubs, that's what the assy's look like] FP sells just ARP Ext studs though, so just installed on my factory front hubs)

- Corsa Xtreme Active Valve Catback w/black tips: Was debating heavily for a while, but after meeting up with my buddy after so long, who also has one on his non-active '17 GT, it sealed the deal

@cmxPPL219 I think you win Thread Post of the Day.

Why are the hubs different between mag and non mag cars?

Both mods look impressive! Where'd you buy a Mach 1 front-end bumper?

@cmxPPL219 I think you win Thread Post of the Day.

Why are the hubs different between mag and non mag cars?

They're different, IIRC, because of the uprated bearings themselves and the way the hub design mounts (they look similar to the way the rear wheel bearing looks).
On Magride cars, because the shocks are adjustable to stiffer settings than the fixed damping parameters of non-magride cars, IIRC Ford decided to upgrade the assy's for that reason - i.e., higher loads on the whole front suspension, esp during hard track driving, coupled with the weight of the front end.

Non-magride cars and their associated hub bolt up differently (on a stub axle integrated into the spindle), as opposed to the magride units, which bolt up with 4 bolts from the back of the spindle, but the bearing outer diameter of the hub is pressed into the spindle, and does not ride on a stub axle, like the non-magride cars. (I know this explanation is doo doo without pics, but I'll upload a few If I time - I saved some before. Another thread also highlighted some pics somewhere on this vast forum)

ETA -
Magride S550 Frt hub: (non-GT350; the difference for GT350 would be aluminum spindle, and longer factory studs to clear thicker caliper):

Non-Magride S550 Frt Hub: It bolts up to the spindle with a centre nut (like an axle nut - black plastic cap is covering it here) and on rear of the spindle, you can see the cast extruded stub axle through the other end, that hub rides on -- also covered up byhub itself)

Hmm. Says it doesn’t fit my 2020 GT/CS. I already have the PP1 splitter like all factory California Specials. Don’t see why this wouldn’t work. Maybe they just haven’t updated beyond 2019.

Excellent mode @V8der ... Can you share information on the Match bumper?

Thanks in advance...

Thx! Got access to a new take off bumper that had some minor paint damage/ splitter damage and was removed. Came complete with everything minis the handling pack lower splitter. Had to order all the underbelly aero,inner fenders and handling pack parts from Ford. Not a lot of part numbers and access to the Mach stuff. Took a while for find it all and order it. Bumper cover itself shows as “service only” so not sure you can even order that from Ford.

Wait, is that an OEM Mach 1 front end on 2018 GT? I didn't know a) they fit and b) if aftermarket, that anyone made it yet

Any more pics?

I want to change my Thread Post of the Day vote to @V8der.
