What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Cordero1]

Got the rear end buttoned up. Springs, aligment pins, bushing supports & braces. Now trying to decompress the front springs but dont feel like its enough for them to come off safely

I finally ordered and installed the Ford Performance Bullitt Mustang Dress Up Kit on my 19 GT. Drivers side took like 2 minutes, passengers side a big longer. Need a spacer or something. But, easily fixed. Put the original nuts upside down and screw them about half way down, put on cover, screw and tighten the included nuts with the kit. It is sandwiched inbetween the two nuts and not going anywhere.

Are you talking about the caps on the strut tower?

I got a lot done yesterday. Swapped out the whole clutch assembly.

Added an Exedy Mach 500, Exedy Lightweight Flywheel, McLeod SS Clutch line and new ARP/FP hardware. The pedal feel is slightly firmer but nice. Keep in mind that I have the steeda clutch spring in already.

Swapped out the rear tires to a SC2 NO (porsche) spec. Still keeping the 305/30 square but experimenting with this rear tire for a couple track days.

I also got the car aligned. It was totally F'ed. Went with a mild track set up and as I get more aggressive later into the season i'll go for more camber and toe.

I recently bought a new 6” DA from Griots Garage and used it this weekend. Worked great. I was using good old muscle power all these years. Glad I got the DA. Made it much easier.

Nothing like freshly polished glass! You will not get out deeper scratches or pitting from polishing though.

What polisher are looking to get? Battery or Corded?

I replaced my old corded polisher with two ShineMate battery machines recently. With two batteries, you will be armed with plenty of capacity. I love mine, so much easier to manage than a corded machine, without sacrificing too in power or correcting ability. Ideally, I would have got the Flex equivalent but they are so expensive in Australia. For the price of one Flex, I got two machines, four batteries, a charger and a storage bag.

For a corded machine, I would personally go with a Rupes LHR15 MK III. To be honest, the battery ShineMates have me very well sorted though -

I have also put a number of people onto the ShineMate version -

Sorry I totally forgot to reply to you both! I managed to repair the DA Polisher today, I swapped out the carbon brushes (although they weren't bad) and also found the main issue - a broken cable in the cord. Thankfully it was near the top. So I just cut the cord, stripped the cables, fitted two new fork connectors and crimped them back on. All back and working. Woop.

If you mean me, no. I am talking about the Ford Performance fuel rail covers.

Ohh nice! Is it as easy as it looks (I was reading the Steeda instructions the other night). I've just purchased a new Wera 60-300Nm 1/2" torque wrench to help me with this job (as well for using on the wheel studs). The vertical links and subframe alignment kit are on my list.
