What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Headless Horseman]

I added the Ford Performance GT500 spoiler. Also added the Soler Performance Throttle Body & controller to compliment my Ford Performance Tune. Haven't used the controller yet I'm still getting used to the throttle body. Well worth the money and really made the car more fun to drive, if that was even possible! Quicker throttle response, more zesty, and feels more powerful. Who knows, on the dyno I could've lost power, but feels much stronger overall. YMMV!

Installed Steedas Trunk Pop Struts, Awesome! Video included if you'd like to see the speed and operation.

Thanks! Yeah I'd have been happier with a few threads poking through but what I'll do is drive it a few times and then check the torque again and see if they are holding fast or not.



Interesting Ford say 41 lbft whereas Steeda say 35 lbft. Not too worried... as I did them up to 45 lbft (60 Nm).

Use a Sharpie and put a line across somewhere... My bet is you are ok, unless you go off roading!

Living dangerously, some guys have snapped the studs when torquing above spec. There's a few old threads about that.

Used my Steeda Low Profile Jacking Rails for the first time to put the car on jack stands in order to install some goodies...

Steeda Shifter Housing Bushing and trans bushing.

Wow, what an improvement, it feels like an aftermarket shifter. It does introduce some vibration but in my opinion well worth it.

Also here is the video of the OEM Shifter Bushing...horrible slop;


Tip on installing the trans bushing, after greasing it up...getting it into place can be tuff...I used vise grip bar clamps and squeezed it into place, took all of 2 minutes.

Looks good! what did you trim it with? I thonkmin going to do mine. Your cuts
look good and straight.

I used a cordless sawzall with a sturdy fine tooth blade. I cleaned it up afterwards with a mill file. I just followed the existing edge.

Not impressed at all.... can't get a smooth, application line free finish, on carbonized Gray at least...

Received a nice little package from Steeda. Just have to wait for my next day off to install it…

Agreed, what we don't know is this: the engineering drawing will say something like, "torque to 41 plus or minus (x) ft/lbs. So, if it's plus 4 minus 0 he is at the limit. Basically, he got away with it.

Congratulations on post 51,000. !!!

Added GT500 spoiler & Gurney flap, direct bolt-on swap, felt like it worked well at LVMS, a bit less oversteer

 

[WD Pro]

Washed it, filled it up …

£84.85 ($109)

Our prices have dropped just a little, £1.72 per litre ($8.37 per US gallon) for V Power (like your 93).

I must have been taking it easy, never seen my distance to empty as high as 179 before !

I best be getting on it !

Friday commute..

It’s nice to know that this happens in other states. That is my normal commute every day in California or I would get run over. I love it though, don’t get me wrong.

 

[Tetazz]

Switch to the GT500 spoiler with gurney flap…

Today I got and installed BMR Jacking Rails on my new 2022 GT. Took about an hour from start to finish. Fairly easy install. Longest part was probably scraping off the seam sealer near the front two bolts (on both the Driver and Passenger sides). I used blue threadlocker on all 8 bolts (4 per side), and I also used a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to about 55 ft/lbs each.
