What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[rhexis]

Looks good, I’m strongly considering tinting mine.

today I reassembled the interior after nearly a week of cleaning and disinfecting. I believe I’m ultimately going to replace the carpet. Nobody else can smell it, but I still can. The “vomit comet” rides again.

not sure if you have tried this yet but there is a product called natures miracle used mainly for dog shit and urine but it should also work on kid puke. petco sells it or you can get it on the amazon. saturate the carpet with it let it sit for a couple of hours then use a wet vac to get it up then just let the rest dry naturally. worth a shot.

have you washed under your nose? Do you sport a mustache?

The best place to store the prop rod is right where it started.

Your never know when you want a safety backup, and it really doesn't look bad.

I left mine in place, too. One day at a meet a friend wanted to give me a pointer about deleting my sound tube. When I opened my hood another guy immediately questioned the prop rod still being there, as if it was the dumbest thing in the world with hood struts installed.

Ma

Mach 1 fenders are same as GT’s just no badge holes for the emblem. Air designs flares just bolt to factory locations on the inner fender and M1 bumper. I have them but havent put them on yet. $330 dollars for those little plastic flares. Lol Figured $800 for gt350 fenders was money better well spent looks wise. I am going to see if they work on the 350 fenders before I return them haha. Could be a good look! Def like to see a convertible done up too!

I’m sorry you’re correct. Its the bumper line that the air designs piece come to not the fenders. That was my mistake.

I sampled my 75w140 diff oil after the 3rd track day. 260F max temp each day. Does not look dark. I'm pretty sure the tiny particles are just some of the OEM gasket compound, because they are the same tangerine color.

Do you have a Torsen? And what oil are you using?

Waited until today for the third coat. It’s nice to work in the morning when the marine layer is blocking out the sun. I just finished up when it came out which was perfect timing. Now I have to deal with water spots on the wife’s car.

Have the product, already tried it. Thanks though.

Yes and yes

Cleaned about as well as anyone could clean it.

Yeah those hood struts and sound tube guys. You know who you are.
Remove their engine cover to expose all kinds of plumbing, then claim how much cleaner the bay looks with just one fewer pipe, lol.

But I'm kidding, all in good fun. I removed my engine cover in the hopes that it may help just a little bit with temperature on track days.

I care more how my car looks on the outside than inside the engine bay. Don't have any mods there anyway, haha.

Wow ... Just ... Wow.

Yes , 10r80 with 3.55 Torsen.
Amsoil inside.

I almost ordered the diff cooler but I think I will hold off until I test to see if my diff can hold up to 30 min sessions first. So far I've only run 20min sessions. Last track day was 92F outside at NCM.

Yessir it is. OEM ford bumper and parts. My car is a fully optioned 18 magride premuim car. Mach 1 front end will bolt right on to any 18+ car. Only difference in the Mach to the GT is there is wiring differences in the turn signaling and blinkers. ( turn signals are actually the same part numbers as 15-20 GT350s/R's) Colors are mostly the same on wiring I just had to cut and make some OEM wiring harnesses to get them to work and plug in like factory. I acutally used the Diode dynamics GT350 LED turn signals on mine with have a DRL feature and sequential blinkers. Lot of Aero and brake cooling benefits doing this swap. Pictured below is the stock PP1 underbelly and the Mach underbelly(double the size). Also the Mach inner fenders are vented to get cold air from the side grills. There are ducting tubes also that is the same part/part numbers used on the GT350 on the Mach that route the air directly from the center lower grill corners to the brake rotors. I was lucky and got access to a complete bumper essentially that was brand new minus some minor defects from the factory. Im still into this front end swap almost $3k. That getting a deal on the bumper complete and my pricing on discounted Ford OE parts. If I had to buy everything regular price and separate it would prob be close to $5k for everything......A LOT for essentially a front bumper cover and some Aero. Looks wise tho it fixes my biggest pet peeve of this car, the front end. Before it was never aggressive like the higher trim cars. Spec wise now my car is essentially the same as a Mach if you'd buy one brand new. I was the first to figure out the rear OEM GT500 valance rear aero swap last year on 18+ cars. Levitown Ford parts built their rear valance swap kit off the part numbers I sent them when I first ordered all the parts. So only thing Its missing for a complete Mach swap is the badges now (which i'm not doing)lol. Even though the car is essentially the same as a Mach 1 in not going to up badge the car to something it really isn't. 18-21 aftermarket Aluminum GT350 front fenders get here tomorrow and those will be fitted and sent off to paint. Stoked to see it all finished and with a built transmission. ha!

Please don't take this the wrong way but after all that effort and work (and it looks great by the way) why wouldn't you finish it with lights in the blank grill inserts?

None taken.

Because there’s a huge 4 core Whipple heat exchanger right behind the holes helping cool down the 920 wheel hp the car makes lol.

Also in theory things sound good until you see them in person here’s a pic of some lights someone did to one. There no room even without the heat exchanger I have and even the slimmest lights budge and look out of place in my opinion. I’m pulling my blanks on my holes to get some more airflow.

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

I notice you have the Cervinis R cowl hood. How’s the temps under there With the blower. My IAT’s average pretty low with stock. I was told expect sI liar to stock. Can you post a pic of how it looks from a couple angles. This is probably the only cowl hood that I think looks nice on the S550 and am considering it. Thanks. I also have the GT500 oem diffuser and Corsa exhaust with the black tips. Looks decent on yours. Haven’t installed yet out of fear of awkward looking tips being too small. I really hope Corsa makes 4.5in tips. Since they’re so easily interchanged.

I think IAT’s are around the same between stock and the R hood to be honest. The tips honestly look completely normal in person with the 500 valance. I 100% agree the bigger tips do look really nice and that would be a nice upgrade if CORSA did that. Here’s a few pics of the hood.
