What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

I vote we let @FreedomPenguin back onto the forum if he uses his windfall riches from EB sale and buys this puppy to satisfy his lust for Grabber Blue.

I've always loved the Boss 9's. One beastly sounding car, that really performs with a few tweaks. Nothing the stock 2018 GT doesn't do performance wise better though (except that sound) Since a Boss 9 wouldn't be affordable or practical to drive even a limited amount, I'm very happy with my 2018.

Dang. Now you got me worried. Seems like changing the fluid is easy though, or nah?
It was a track day, so realistically about the same amount of driving on track as your 2.5hrs.

You have a PP1, so our clearances will be just about the same. I got lifting rails on, but they're useless as my jack is too tall anyway.

Could you share what ramps you got? I wanna be able to use them for oil change too...

I would change it if I were you. It’s probably not needed right this minute, but sooner than later for sure.
The change is easy. I didn’t add friction modifier because where I bought the fluid from said it wasn’t needed if you’re tracking your car often. I just used a handheld oil pump ($12) and taped the tube ends to the quarts of fluid, climbed under the car as it sits (not on stands) and drained/filled. I used a piece of glossy cardboard to check the oil level prior to removal, and just filled back up to that same level.

I’m not sure on my ramps, I’ve had them for 15 years. I just used them for the wrap.

Please share the vendor details.

And mail me the socket you used.

I had it fitted for me as it was pennies extra to be done so I can't advise socket size I'm afraid :-(

I'm also located in the UK so not sure it'd be economical for you my dude!

They installed it on the wrong side.

You mean the right, right side

I like my Bullitt wheel and logo, but the pony looks so good there.
Also I miss ACC :(

Bullitt too round for me - unless I'm thinking of the wrong wheel.

And excuse my ignorance, ACC?

Adaptive Cruise Control. Bullitts got this ripped up and removed, something about the bumper or mounting or whatever (despite GT PP1 having it), Mach 1 didn't get it either.
Quite a contentious thread on this if you want to look at it.

Bullitt wheel is pretty round and clean, leather wrapped, I'm just saying the pony looks good.

Ahh OK, so it was the one I'm thinking of. I'm not a fan (hence the change...) But you'd be able to keep your airbag central part with a custom wheel if you fancied a change.

Thanks for heads up on ACC - I can say I enjoy mine
