What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[gadgtfreek]

I finally had the resonators removed. I’m mad at myself for not doing it before! I love it, sounds fucking amazing

@JohnnyGT thanks for coming out to meet me there.

Give it hell! I drive like this every day.

I need to get someone to video mine, I have no idea was the S type catback sounds like out of car when I "give em hell Dale".

Installed an oil pressure gauge. Apparently I didn't tighten one of the fittings enough as I noticed a small amount of oil under the car. So I got under there and it was pretty much like a '80s horror flick, oil everywhere. Was only about a 1/2 quart low thou. Removed all the fittings and stuck the stock sensor back in place, all is well again. Now I'm in the process of dry fitting and going back over everything to figure out where I went wrong. Pretty sure I didn't get enough ugga-duggas on the aftermarket sensor into the T.

Serves you right for fixing what wasn't broken I guess.

Installed UPR driver and passenger side oil catch cans.

If you're referring to me at least quote me so I know.

Honestly not sure why Ford wouldn't put an actual oil pressure gauge on all the Mustang'. I've got a Premium, not a PP, so no true oil pressure gauge from factory. Just that silly "low/normal" reading. It's unfortunate my wanting an actual oil pressure reading has some how ruined your day, but it its entertaining.

Oil and fuel will make the biggest messes you have ever seen.

Yeah, I was surprised. I had only drove the car for maybe a total of 15 miles. Got it all squared away. It was exactly what I thought. I didn't tighten the aftermarket sensor enough. It's a 1/8" NPT and I must have only put a few uggs. Once I got a good ugga-dugga on it, all is well.

Went for a ride with some other like minded individuals.

$30 OBD dongle, free phone app. No mess, no muss, and you can watch WAY more than just oil pressure. Your car is just a computer. Start treating it like one.

I did some mods recently:

Driver mod: trimmed my outta control beard way down.

Haven't been able to much of anything lately. Gonna try and drive it again on Saturday.

Ok, fill me in. I'm not tech savoy and just did a quick Google search. A plethora of "dongles" came up. Is there one you suggest? Ones to stay clear of, or do they all do the same thing?

Technically happened yesterday, but #1 Son took an hour drive with me for some experience in a non-SUV with normal controls before his first official driving lesson. He did great, and my car stayed intact and unscratched. The actual driving lesson with the pros was tonight, and he did great with them, too. Whew!!
