What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[obgod3]

I ended up selling mine. I purchased the large wing pop kit but it was way too strong for my liking. Mind you I have a MMD duckbill wing which I wouldn’t call small. I went back to stock but I am considering using the small wing pop kit to see if it helps with ease of closing.

I installed some mods last week. I decided to replace my Ford Performance X springs for Steeda ultralite springs paired with Ford Performance FR3 shocks, Steeda IRS bushings and alignment kit. Personally I couldn’t stand the uneven drop of the FP X springs. I decided to get something a bit more stiffer and stayed linear. All I can say is wow! The more I drive it the more I love it. I definitely was expecting more of a stiff ride but it’s the perfect balance for a DD

What wheels are those, I like those a lot.

A huge technical accomplishment! I put the trunk mat in the trunk. Go me.

It's a Lloyds Ultimat. I've bought Lloyds mats before and they fit nice, wear well, etc. My "complimentary color" choices were three; two of which were black and dark grey. I chose dark grey.

Fits great, made nice....but that doesn't look like dark grey to me. Maybe I should contact the vendor...

Put this on hold for the new Stang. Just waiting on dealer paperwork.

Brought my pony to our first ever HPDE event.

What track did you go to/who was the organizer?

Hi Paul, event was at Thompson Motor Speedway and organized by Mass Tuning. Instructor did ride along and gave up time driving his own car to give me sound advice after our sessions.

Sounds awesome, I need a pro to push my car to it's limits so I know what they are. I haven't been able to do it yet or am just a chicken. Would be good to get that education of knowing it's limits. I built what is essentially a muscle car - sports car.

problem is the sensation from the passenger seat is wildly different than from driver's. So coaching is the way to go. and pushing your boundaries slowly. Eg. to use VIR, work on T1-T3 and Hogpen every lap till you get better at those. Then work on say just the climbing esses. If you're gripped by fear, you won't improve.

AFE Power stainless steel shorty headers installed today. Took the old manifolds out yesterday. Finished the job today.

Installed the Borla Switchfire (xpipe and hpipe had a baby) resonator delete. Deeper sound and not too much louder IMO. We will likely add the Roush axle back in the future.

Black paint really looks good with those wheels!

Removed my rear brake dust shields.
Studied the mechanical nuances of the barely adequate rear brakes while back there.

Why are they barely adequate? Not brembo?

Just wish the PP trim included two-pot rear brakes. Easier to service. Simpler to swap pads. No wonky pad wear due to flexing.

Would be awesome to get a full GT350 set of hubs, calipers and rotors for about, say ... 100 bucks.

Finally added the rear seat delete. Left the shoulder belts in.

How sturdy is the setup? Meaning, could you mount stuff on the panels that use to be seats? Or is it too weak for that?

They say it can bear 100# per side. They tested it to 150# per side. I have sat on it in the middle where the support is, and I'm 330#. It flexes some, but you can mount pretty much whatever you need to.

Picked up the GT after PPF install. First 1/3 of hood and fenders, mirrors, grill, bumper, lights. The passenger mirror piece lifted a bit,...but they'll make it right

Went to Cars and Coffee today.
