What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[PKs]

I have ordered mine. Now waiting for delivery.
It's one of those things to look forward to when in COVID lockdown.

I looked at these and was put off by the seller simply multiplying shipping to Australia by 4 of the cost of shipping 1. $80 US for shipping which is close to the cost of buying the 4 tips.

Had to drop my clutch brake/pedal assembly after learning it's not covered by any warranty to re-weld and hopefully reinforce it tomorrow.

Yikes! I've read about that happening.

Were there warning signs before it failed?

The only warning I had before it went was creaking/squeaking sound for a month or two before after thinking it was the lower seat cushion and adjusting my position many times, it stopped.

Then it went on the freeway and stopped me from changing gears twice the of the way home.

Thanks for the info it's good for us all to know.

@EmCel Could this be a case to the squeaking sound you're hearing?

Went to work but stopped in the neighborhood on the way out because it looked like I was heading into a boss fight.

I 'only' paid USD$31.64 for shipping. My seller was "tritrust1"

NO

I don't have a squeaking sound. Ever since I bought the car the driver seat has made that noise readjusting the seat, could be the motor or something is stuck under the seat that's making it hard to adjust it. If that was the problem it would of went out 40,000 miles or a year ago.


Ya definitely not ... I mean you were there and heard the noise up close, it's the seat itself. I haven't really looked into it because it doesn't bother me that much. But that sucks.

Swapped in some Suma Performance convex mirrors. So far they seem like a great improvement; but I'll need some time to get used to the distorted view.

After 50 years of driving I still haven't gotten used to the distorted view of the passenger side mirror!

Know where I can get a flat one for it?

Cleaned the windows inside and out and took a photo of the "leather" seat wear after 6 years

These seat covers are actually pretty nice, and run ~$25 each. Fit really good. I put them on week one of my car. They will keep my 401a leather like new indefinitely.

Only plus/minus is if you want the Ford logo, since we all know that there are very few of those found on our cars.

I picked up my winter tires and wheels. We had 45 degrees the other morning and making a turn the back started to move out on me. I drive the car year round so knew that I was going to have to get a winter set.

Found a guy selling some 2019 performance wheels with the all seasons on them and we worked out a deal. He even delivered them to me at my office. I was going to get some winter tires, but the guy who had those the wheels had been curbed pretty badly, the tires were dated 2001 and one was 1999 so they had to be replaced. Even if they weren't too old, the tread was worn down to replacement status anyway. So guess I will go with all seasons again.

Sometimes I regret picking Velocity Blue over this color. Beautiful car.

Agreed about @gadgtfreek green car. Not sure my OCD could get used to the offcenter stripes though.

A friend has the RTR version.
