What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

[snake bite]

Its not going anywhere in a hurry, Is held in by 4 bolts, 2 clips and 3 guiding pegs as well as some super adhesive tape. I purchased it on ebay from America and the spoiler was 414 usd plus ebays rip off postage and import duties of 186 usd, so 600 usd, about 800 aud. You can purchase in Australia with i think mustang motorsports the cheapest 984 plus postage. You can get cheaper copies but I wanted the genuine Ford part. Im loving it too

ALWAYS my FIRST request on every service.

My sister had her car serviced this week. She sent me this today -

Clearly I have taught her well.

Just went for a nice drive. Good cool humid weather and no traffic.

I hope you read it a part of the user manual before you pulled the cover up.

Don't worry about me. It was just reflection on enforced childhood afternoon naps.

And it came to pass. That I got my Steeda G Trac front brace back on the car. This was after many frustrating times of wild animal noises coming from the brace and coolant lines rubbing against each other. I got some excellent ideas from fellow forum members to rectify this problem.

KermiStang suggested using silicon on the coolant lines and it was done.

WD Pro suggested panel beating the upper points of contact on the brace and it was done.

Veteran suggested adding shims so that the brace sat lower and it was done.

I used 50mm square 5mm washers modified to match the brace.

There is now no contact with the coolant lines and all seems good. I never did hear back from Steeda with their suggestions.

Also, recently I got a Ford lockable petrol cap. It is a bit fiddly to take off and put on primarily due to its small size, but it does work ok.

A spare hour on a Sunday afternoon combined with Mustang goodness is like heaven.

I have now had this car four 4 years and I'm still very much in love with it. And still learning about it too. I had a play around with the acceleration timer for the first time today. My 0-100 time is probably a bit embarrassing but it was a fun little thing to do on a deserted country back road.

Guys who say Coyote lacks torque are missing the point. Running this thing through the gears is just so addictive. Once it clears 4000 rpm, the Coyote is so smooth and rev happy, pulling strongly right to the red line. And the induction note is delicious!

So what was your acceleration time?

I've had my my19 for 1.5 years and just recently started using s+ mode . I've never tried any other modes.

With mechanical sympathy in mind, I did 0-100 in 5.8 sec. I wasn't setting out to break any records, rather just having a try of the system.

I use S+ mode more often than not, although I toggle the steering back to comfort.
