What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[HoosierDaddy]

Wednesday actually.

Changed oil and filter 5w30 PUP and Purolator Boss. Drove up ramps; easier than using the Quick Jack. With the Femco valve, only tools used were 7MM nut driver for filter access panel and filter wrench.

3 of 4 of my new wheels, and more importantly, new tires are on. Along with two new OE front hubs. The wheels are flowformed SVE DHP1s in titanium graphite. I was originally planning to get the forged version but due to them not offering a 19x10 package and my preferring the thicker spokes of the flowformed variants, I went with the 19x10 flowform kit.

One of the wheels has a pretty unsightly edge where they joined the wheel face to the drum, almost looks hand machined right there...not putting that wheel on unless they say I can't exchange it.

Since the car's going to be sitting for a few more days I ordered some Powerstop Z26 pads to put in the front brembos, one of my front pads is cracked throughout and flaking.

Good choice! And I thought I was the only one who didn't like spindly looking forged spokes. Went with Apex SM 10s on my Mustang instead of SM 10Rs for that reason. Then just went with fewer spoke forged wheels on my Tesla which meant each spoke was thicker.

Not today, but upcoming winter mods.

PP Brembo 6 pistons, Girodisc two piece rotors and Gloc brake pads. The calipers will be painted purple.

Finally reinstalled the broken rear sway bar. Dad welded it back together. Looks nice and straight almost as new. In case it should break again, I've got a replacement from Steeda. Also put the end links in the middle hole for less stiffness.

I think we’re gonna need to see some before and after pictures and an explanation of how the hell you broke your rear sway bar!

Very sharp ride! The color is an eye catcher!

Did the end of the season oil and filter change. With the colder than normal snap they’re predicting for the next 1 - 2 weeks, the only driving left this season may be to park it for the year.

Thanks, Velocity Blue has grown on my over the last 6 years, but Kona Blue still has my heart (that was the color I ordered with my 2018 that got taken from me via an idiot driver).

Most definitely. Takes some time for the brighter colors.

Add a set of roller bearings to the quick jacks and youll never pick em up again! also you can get the hydrolic quick connects from amazon for 40 bucks if they leak.

Very true about the roller bearings. Get the 1" size from home improvement store or Harbor Freight. You have to choose their position carefully. You want the jack low to the ground for clearance when moving them under the pinch weld. But not so low that the jack still drags on the floor. I drilled and tapped holes to screw them onto the QJ frame.

I park over one jack and the wife's car parks over the other. In the winter I need to cover the one under her car with plastic so that any drips don't cause rust to the jack.

Wow! Since cancelling my order with Ford Performance or Racing, whatever they are calling themselves this week, I have received the FP Track Handling struts and shocks, Vorschlag camber plates, and the BMR Handling Springs with their bars will be here tomorrow! I had almost forgotten what customer service was like after waiting ten months for the FP or FR, whatever, stuff.

Purchased a Dragy from Burger Motorsports on Thursday received it on Monday. Found the cable was defective and via e-mail received very prompt replies from them on Monday with advice and they ended up refunding $15 on purchase price. Wow! Great service!

Kudos to LMR, BMR, and Burger for fast, polite, and helpful service. It would be a good lesson for Ford and Ford Racing ( did I get that right ) to take from businesses like these. Be polite, be responsive to customer needs, and have the damn parts in stock!
