What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

[Benno2000]

I’m sure @Manders Mustang did a write up showing all the brake duct install. Looked really good to be fair, I was eyeing this up for mine too.

It defo improves the front of the car imo and is a well made, quality piece of kit - I have no probs recommending it just on those points . Then add to that that it’ll certainly help cool the brakes no end, especially on track - win/win

I just don’t know enough to comment on it resolving OP problems.

Correct, it's a fairly simple install, remove a bunch of 7mm bolts that hold it in, add the prebought ducting, and mount it all up behind the brakes. Can confirm they work a charm on track on both the 4 and 6 pot brembos (because i'm that nobhead that has both.... lol)

Hi,

What's the brake duct kit? I'm getting weird braking when its wet and wondered if this is the fix! Matt

p.s weird braking when wet, do tell? Are we talking it pulls one way? Does it fish tail? what's the "weird" as that's subjective. Brakes aren't something you want to be "weird" like maybe you want the mrs to be in the bedroom, but brakes... leave those as normal and weird-free as possible lol

Not exactly today
But on the 23rd (my birthday)
I spent the day with Jason at JW and installed Steeda G-trac, Diff bushing, BMR cradle lockout and wheel spacers.

also swapped my Michelin’s out for a set of Yokohama winter tyres while the wheels were off the car.

There’s more to go on but we ran out of time so I’ll be taking another visit to Jason in the new year.

Another lesson in false economies: in my addiction to carbon fibre interior trim, it irked me that so little of it is available for RHD dashes for the S550. Now there is one RHD Dashboard Passenger Side CF trim available, but it costs £50+. So clever me ordered the LHD equivalent from China for £10, then thought that I’d just flip it around and wrap the back in gloss CF vinyl. And then mount it back to front. But then the dashboard plaque looks odd, so I mounted a replacement plaque (from Anchor Room) over it too. This is a nice aluminium piece, but it’s not £40 nice. So, the final result is okay, but in the end I spent about the same amount as if I’d just bought the RHD version. Doh!

Bumper respray (which has been needing doing since new as lacquer peeled around where the reg plate was, and some raging turbo-nonce reversed into it and took some paint off a while ago), gt350 diffuser texture removal and repaint... (pre wetsand/polish, which is happening monday)

Did a little shopping to make the Mustang a little more exciting and talented in the bends.

Ford Performance T2-R Torsen Differential (standard on the US Performance Pack 1, PP2, Bullitt, GT350, and GT500).

Ford Performance 4.09 ring and pinion kit and installation kit
Ford Racing Toe Knuckle Bearings
BMR CB007 front subframe brace (2-point)
BMR CB005 rear subframe cradle lockout kit
BMR SCB766 rear cradle centering sleeves

Next up are longer studs, slip on spacers (20mm?), And Camber bolts for the front wheels. Looking forward to driving the new setup and also giving it a go at Santa Pod and one or two track days this year.

Nice uppgrade.
Im going too do the same and change the rear end gears. What are you going too do whit the reading of the speedometer. I have heard that you need too re calibrate the speedometer and I have also heard that it aint neccesary. Im going too try whitout any calibration of the speedometer.
Cheers
