What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[HoosierDaddy]

Looking good!
No garage??????

There might be one just out of frame in front of the car. The picture appears to be of the back of the house, but I could be wrong.

Actually Thursday, I took the car to Thunderhill for a light shakedown. The car and driver performed well, at least as well as they could in the 96 degree heat.

Good to hear! I like the look! I have HRE FF04's with the same tires and size with the exception of the rears being NO Porsche and not K1. I know you were wanting to know how the NO Porsche tires performed. I recently went to Laguna Seca and the tires performed extremely well.

I'm on RideTech coilovers with higher spring rates geared more for track use. One thing I noticed when I did my post track inspection and bolt torque checks afterwards was that the taller than stock tires both front and rear were coming in contact with the bottom of the wheel wells. You could see the outline of the tread on the bottom of the wells with exception to the left rear. Laguna Seca does have some corners where you get some good compression at speed compared to some of the other tracks I've run.

Fortunately I have a set of 305/30R19 Continental ContiForceContacts in the garage waiting for some dedicated 19x11 track wheels. They are much shorter so I don't anticipate the same issues.

Hoosier I paid for a room like that 4 weeks ago, got inside sat down turned on the lights and saw four large cockroaches right off. Went right back out the door. The carpets looked like they'd never been cleaned and were coming up around the edges.

Lady said they have a no refund policy, I said I have a no cockroach policy. She gave me my money back.

washed and throw on the steering wheel...

Gave her a bath (CG Citrus), clayed her (mother's), waxed her (colinite 845). Tomorrow I'll seal it all in (CG Jet Seal).

Took me the better part of 5 hours and my neck/back are killing me but she sure looks sweet!

FWIW I think sealant normally goes on before the wax.

This is true, longer lasting layer goes lower and sealant typically lasts longer than wax.

Got it back from Ford after getting the hood repainted due to the corrosion. Looks great and got rid of those chips that were in the hood in the process.
