What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[rcald]

Curious on how this will ride, wouldn't mind a stiffer ride in Sport + (except for pot holes).

Will provide an update in a few days.

I recently had a much needed maintenance done on my car including spark plugs, trans flush, serp belt, filters, etc. In the process of replacing my clutch, just waiting on the parts. My stock clutch is still going at 80k miles but acts up once in a while. Just want to get it over with.

Do you do lot of clutch dumps/slips or drive spiritedly all the time? I'd say 80k on a clutch ain't much. :(

It is the ATX20-HD (this was suggested by them for my car and usage) and I made the battery holder myself. I weighed the OEM battery and holder today and came up with 31.561 lbs, my setup with the brackets, battery, terminals, and hardware was 5.6 lbs. Total weight savings was just under 26 lbs.

I thought putting lithium under the hood was a no no because of the heat. Everyone I have talked to only recommend AGM. Is that incorrect?

I’d like to think I drive it ok? But there are times where it doesn’t go into gear so I have to try again for it to go in. I mean I can still drive it but I don’t want it to cause other problems I guess. It’s just a peace of mind thing that’s all.

I added my first MOD today : EZ-Clutch pedal extension.

Mind if I ask why? I can imagine if it was a height concern you’d need all the pedals extended…? Unless of course you don’t bottom out the other pedals as much I suppose…?

Not really an height concern, I am 1.73m. The issue is that there is a big GAP between the clutch pedal and the other ones when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down (in comparison to other manual cars), and I do not like that feeling. With the extension added, when I press the clutch pedal, my left foot is not that far away anymore from my right one.

Gotcha. Makes sense

Flew to WV and bought it (‘22 Grabber). Drove it straight home to FL and threw k&N, Euros/Side Markers, Shift Knob, VMS Drag Pack to start. Springs Saturday, then boost soon after.

May I ask where you bought the shift knob?

Summer Forgestar's on with new blue center caps (darker than the VB, oh well) and new Gorilla chrome lugs. Can ANYONE figure out what style wheels I like? LOL!!

Also added Boomba toe links I got on sale.

I had the Ford Performance track handling pack and CAI/TB/calibration kit installed. So far happy with both.

 

[Mr. Met]

Had the Roush coil covers painted and installed them. Also put on the JLT master cylinder cover and Ford Performance engine cap set. I also had the JLT strut covers and a new fuse box cover painted; those will go on next.

 

[RTR077]

Added the Boomba racing vertical links and RTR rear sway bar. Front sway bar tomorrow

 

[FUN2RIDEFAST]

I went to tire shop today and swapped OEM 9x19 Luster Nickel painted forged aluminium rims to 9x19 Borbet Y Titan Matt

Lookin good.
