What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Khyber]

I wonder if I can multi-quote a bunch picture threads? Would you have a stroke? :lol::lol::lol:


I agree with you. I cannot stand bad board etiquette.

our browsers might have a heart attack lol

Bought a set of race ramp wheel cribs, and they just arrived. Also did my third oil change while I was at it. These wheel cribs are great. An alternative to jackstands when I don't need to take off the wheels.

I got the 10" version. I originally bought the 12" version, because when I measured how far my wheels lifted off the ground, I only measured the outside part of the wheel and didn't account for the camber.

Traded it in.. :-( I tried to live with it and small kids but it was just killing my back trying to get my youngest son behind my seat. I also always had a small worry in the back of my mind about the difficulty to get the kids out of the back seat in the event of an accident. I enjoyed the S550 immensely and will definitely miss it. I just needed a more practical family vehicle.

Installed 25mm spacers.

Those look really cool, have any pics of the car on them? Where did you buy them from ?

Installed my stainless works cat back. I love how it sounds! Sadly so excited I forgot to take a post install pic.

My Mustangs undercarriage.

Making sure the pieces are there.

Unfortunately, no. I went to work right after that pic, and didn't think to take another. :doh:

They're a little spendy though, and overpriced (imo)... as is all race ramps stuff. But they work well and are extremely light (each one weighs like 6 lbs). They're basically ~$50 per wheel crib. Got them off of amazon:

That sucks man.... did you trade it with all you mods in place?? What did you pick up??

Getting my nitto 555g2 tires put on right now. Apparently got the last two 285/35/19 in the country
Yesterday got my mishimoto coolant expansion
And later my black gloss decklid will be delivered

Just got the same tires last week in a 305 30 20 on tsw bathurst, replaced mt street comps. These nt 555 g2 grip so much better from a dig. They seem to have just a tad more sidewall flex that I prefer but it's not bad. They are great in the wet also, my mt's were like ice skates. Lemme know your impressions. What tire you coming from?

Gotta agree with that. My MTs are awful in the rain and I have to baby the crap out of the car in the rain. I almost spun out on the highway one night on damp roads when I attempted to overtake. Wasn't an aggressive overtake either. Took me by complete surprise.

nt555g2 or MPSS tires will likely be my next set. I wish nitto had a 35 aspect in the 305 width though.

Nope, I returned it to stock minus the rear wing and diffuser. Selling all the parts. I bought a 4 door wrangler.

I just replaced the stock perelli. Today was my first highway drive. Feels pretty good. I have more rubber on the road now upping the size. I do feel like when i was at a stop sign and gunned it, the tires did their job. Pretty happy with them. May have to do another test, but felt like when i drove and let go of the wheel it did want to shift a little bit on the road. Will have to feel it out some more

you gonna mod the hell outta that one too?! nice choice, albeit the powerplant may drive you crazy after being in the stang:cheers:

I loved my 4 door wrangler. I put right at 160K miles on it. (2011 model). But I traded it in on a TRD Pro 4 runner, and love it slightly more. It has a lot more room in the back for the kids, and is a lot more plush. You will love that thing. Especially if you ever hit a trail or two.

 

[John S.]

Yes going to mod it. Especially since I've modified my wife's so much. We do hit trails about once or twice a month. Hers is the blue
