What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[GTP]

Cleaned the windows inside and out and took a photo of the "leather" seat wear after 6 years

These seat covers are actually pretty nice, and run ~$25 each. Fit really good. I put them on week one of my car. They will keep my 401a leather like new indefinitely.

Only plus/minus is if you want the Ford logo, since we all know that there are very few of those found on our cars.

Walmart a few years ago, but Amazon has them.

I picked up my winter tires and wheels. We had 45 degrees the other morning and making a turn the back started to move out on me. I drive the car year round so knew that I was going to have to get a winter set.

Found a guy selling some 2019 performance wheels with the all seasons on them and we worked out a deal. He even delivered them to me at my office. I was going to get some winter tires, but the guy who had those the wheels had been curbed pretty badly, the tires were dated 2001 and one was 1999 so they had to be replaced. Even if they weren't too old, the tread was worn down to replacement status anyway. So guess I will go with all seasons again.

Sometimes I regret picking Velocity Blue over this color. Beautiful car.

Agreed about @gadgtfreek green car. Not sure my OCD could get used to the offcenter stripes though.

A friend has the RTR version.

Went to a Cruz In , not bad stable mates to park next to . The F-150`is a Lebanon build and the GT is one that actually gets driven , 40k on the clock . His 2005 is at 125k . Must be nice to have a daily like that .

Wow - haven't seen an S550 leather interior like that recently... going back, the SN95's had shit leather that would do that if just looking at it....

What products have you used to clean/condition the upholstery?

Had to drop my clutch brake/pedal assembly after learning it's not covered by any warranty to re-weld and hopefully reinforce it tomorrow.

Yikes! I've read about that happening.

Were there warning signs before it failed?

Yea, if anyone else is deleting the clutch pedal box issue, here's the main thread w/repairs:
within it for fixes:

Two weeks ago my battery died so I disconnected it, recharged and it fired right up. The car was pulling insane 1-4 gears, like I tuned it. Amazing low end torque. Lasted about 10 days or so and I figured it was re-learning my patterns. Now it's back to the way it was, kind of sluggish. I thought it might've been humidity or temparture that caused the anomoly but this weeks weather was identical to two weeks ago.

Without disconnecting the battery, is there a way to reset something so it can go back to hauling ass?

Washed it at Matt's Emporium of Speed. Followed by a cruise with the owner and another customer.

Also, rolled over 15k miles in the process.

I'm no expect so don't quote me.

Sounds like the KAM got reset. The simplest option is disconnecting the battery for awhile. Do you have a tuning device? I can reset it now at anytime with the Procal device I received with the "power pack" I installed last week.

Had my car since March of this year, was modified when I bought it and had spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out all that had been done to it. Anyways, a while ago, I learned about the owners manual "secret compartment" (probably from this thread) and sure enough, manual was there! Was a nice surprise but didn't think much of it.

Anyways, checked it out again today to review all that was in the owners manual pouch and found a receipt from Big O Tires that included the previous owners info! Tried Facebook, no success but there was a phone number there too, so I sent a random message to the number.

Sure as shit, dude responds back and provides a bunch of details about car and then says that he detailed out every mod on it in the back of the owners manual. So I check in there while texting and yup! Every date, exact mileage (down to the tenth), every single thing, even oil type, weight, ounces, etc.

A very good day for me, because now I know exactly what I'm dealing with, including what has and hasn't been done to it.

After 50 years of driving I still haven't gotten used to the distorted view of the passenger side mirror!

Know where I can get a flat one for it?

I have no ideas for finding a flat passenger mirror. I don't like the idea myself as these mirrors are so small already.

Personally I'm just trying to improve my spacial awareness. I can adapt to change in depth of field with these over time.

I put F150 tow mirror on the Expedition. They were an improvement, but I think just swapping the lenses on the stock housing would be a bigger improvement...and way less drag.

Took it into the mountains and enjoyed my exhaust. I need to get someone to record it from a distance. Sounds so good.

Forscan can do a reset on all adaptations
