What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[TXGTPig]

I'm surprised my 21 GT/CS which is a premium doesn't have an oil pressure gauge display option..I have the 400A analog cluster and oil pressure gauge is not in the list...only oil temp. What gauge did you install and where? I would bet there's an oil pressure transducer installed since these ECU's monitor everything. They just didn't bother to include a digital gauge. Someone will probably offer a software update and include in future.

Its a cheap $40 one from Amazon . Basically a knock off of the Glowshift. Works pretty damn good for the price. We'll see how it holds up. Install was easy enough. Only issue I ran into was wiring, but I've never been good at it. I tapped into fuse 23 for my switched 12V source. Per everything I read you can just use a micro add a fuse. Yeah, that didn't happen in mine. My '18 has some "proprietary" mini fuse in it, as none of the mini fuses, or mini add a fuse, would work in my fuse panel. Once I got that sorted it went very smoothly. I got the A/C gauge pod from a fellow member that 3D prints them, saves you about $20. His handle is Jobodizo. Let me know if you need pictures of where the stock oil pressure sending unit is. I've got to do an oil change in the next few days and i can snap a few shots while I'm under there.

Try a micro2 fuse. I think is the right name.

Would love to know a US shipper without those kinds rates. Someone wanted to buy a grill from me and UPS, USPS and FedEx all wanted ~$70 to ship the 2 lb. grill because the 48"" length mandates a charge for 60+ lbs.

I used https://www.usa-balik.cz/ . However their website is written only in Czech language. The service works pretty simple. I got assigned US address right after the registration. Basicaly it is a warehouse with few employees. They will receive my shipment and store it for me as long as I want to (in case I am making few other purchases and want to have it shipped in a single shipment). After they receive all of my packages, I let them know that they can proceed and forward the shipment to Europe. They have their own shipping container and they ship two of them every month (the shipping dates are on their website). When it is in Czech republic, the customer pays taxes and other customs duties.

When I tried to estimate the shipping price, the base price was 10 USD handling fee and 70 USD for 22 lb (9,9 kg). But they also calculate volumetric weight based on its dimensions (length x width x height / 5000) which raised the charge from 70 USD to 450 USD. After few e-mails we settled down for 170 USD.

I haven't used them before, so I wonder what my experience will be. Fedex tracking shows that the shipment weights 80 lbs instead of 22 lbs stated on Ford Performance website. I hope that the difference is just because LMR used pallet for ground shipping or I'm doomed If I manage to get that spoiler to Europe for 750 EUR (spoiler + shipping + taxes and import duties), I'm good.

I found also another way to ship it. There is american-horsepower.de in Germany and they offer also their Containerservice. I got quote 798 EUR + shipping from Germany, which is also very good offer. Hope this helps someone.

That is crazy. I did ship spoilers and chin spoilers as well (huge boxes) and shipping was $50 to Poland...

But I guess your chin spoiler shipping box wasn't this big

I bought many chin spoilers and I also did buy the GT500 spoiler and I must say... the chin spoiler box is bigger. Think that the chin spoiler goes around the whole front bumper and has a more "banana" shape

Hit a half cap of retread at 80 last night. Results were not good, but not as bloody as that jackrabbit.

Picked her up from the body shop today. Better fit and finish than when it came from Flat Rock. If anyone near KC needs any body work, Alex and the guys at Prestige Auto are top notch.

Complete new right front fender.

New front clip, valence, and splitters.

Over $5,300 from a shit piece of retread left on the highway. #%!!?#%!!

Wow, I was just looking at your tax rate!!!
And I thought it was a lot here in MA!

Went for a ride with some other like minded individuals.

Was it the March of the Orange Mustang Club? How did you manage to get that many of the same color out in the same location?

Put my old taillights back on. Also finally installed the Steeda trunk poppers.

Didn't like the tails n the above pic?

Luckily only parts are taxable in MO. Labor is exempt.

Those are the ones I put back on. Had my stocks on then some 2015's for the last few months. I went back to the aftermarket ones that had been on the car since week 2 of ownership. They're staying.

I'm from Czech and still fluent, so if any fellow Mustang owners need help, I wouldn't mind helping translate. Although I'm guessing somehow you can toggle the site to English, or just add "/en" at the end of the link, usually works.

Bought a stablemate to keep my S550 company during the long winter layup.
It’s a 2002 with 105,000 KMS (61,000 miles), mint, original paint, etc.
Can’t give a rational reason for buying it, but at my age I don’t have to!

easiest way to add oil pressure and oil temp gauges is a sandwich adapter for the oil filter.
I have the glowshift unit and it has 4 threaded ports, plus plug screws for unused ports .. so I dunno what Id do with all 4. electric guages in dash, and mech ones under hood?? /joke
....curious what other uses though. need to order the one for your oil filter thread size which for mine was 22x1.5
