What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Rapid Red]

LOL looks like it could take a good day just to move things for access. Anyone looking at that can readily see why there is some engine noise.

The shop doing mine quoted me 12 hours for the Supercharger and 14 hours for the Oil Pump gears. Dropping it off today to have the work done.

14 Hours for a shop I think is good

I have this Brown Line Metal Works Wrench. They are highly recommended by a lot of sites.

Questions for you all that do your own work: what do you recommend for a torque wrench? Old one broke too, go figure. Looking for recs.

The wrench isn't going to be a moneymaker so I don't need the best. Just a solid wrench for a weekend home wrencher.

EDIT: 3/8

Got a $800 yearly present from the county for owning a car...

800 a year???

Universally Modified Performance in Sterling.

The owner is a cool dude, brothers. But watch out for one their dimwits that works there.

800 a year???

Yup, property tax. Although it's based on "value" of the car so each year it drops a few pennies.

Crazy. We pay tax on purchase only and a 20$ or so yearly tag fee.

yeah but you don't have the 2nd or 3rd most cops per capita in the country (behind NYC and Chicago metro) like we do here in Fairfax County.

Got it now. That really sucks. I thought you were talking about plate registration.

What do you pay for that there?

We have a yearly property tax on cars here in SC as well. My 19' GT/CS is $324 for 2022. My wife's new Volvo is $563. Even when added to my homes property tax I'm still paying 1/10 of what I paid in NJ. In addition sales tax on cars is capped at $500.

Actually got to drive it

Productive evening after work. Had a bit of energy so used it well. Learned last week cabin filters should be changed yearly. Haven’t changed mine yet and have had the car 2.5 years so it was due. Had a K&N air filter in it since near new and wanted to change to AFE and as you can see, it was time or maybe passed time for that as well. Also finally got a torque wrench and checked my lug nuts. None of them moved so I apparently I tighten them plenty. And then washed the week of daily driving off. Got a decent shot with the last bit of sun kissing that beautiful Ruby Red.
