What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[ice445]

You did what I would have done. Fortunately, the Steeda bolt holes were ok. I did use the longer stock bolts in the holes except for the one on each side that didn't have a stock bolt in it. I also used blue Loctite and wrenched it down ( or was that up) pretty tight.

At least I wasn't the only one, lol. It's especially tricky because the sealer yields as you tighten giving you a false feel.

New shoes on the rear. Fronts will be mounted one day next week.
Changed my mind from black lug nuts to chrome.
Black just kind of washed out the wheels.
I think I'll like a little bling to draw the eye to the wheels.
285/40-19 Michelin Super Sports on Forgestar CF5V in gloss black.
I have 265/40-19's for the fronts on 9/10x19.
Already loving the extra grip from the sticky 285's over the 255/40-19 P zero Nero's.
Borrowed a torque wrench from a local auto parts house and swapped out my lug nuts today.
Even dressed the tires. Satin NOT gloss.....

My Gorilla (61148BCX)wheel nuts came the other week. Finally had time today in the sunshine to fit them. So pleased. The originals were on their last legs, one in particular I had to hammer on a socket to get it off. I didn't do this to them but guessing past owner just wasn't careful.

Finally I can put them on / off with one type of socket (21mm) without them being all different shapes and sizes.

Much better.

Summer Forgestar's on with new blue center caps (darker than the VB, oh well) and new Gorilla chrome lugs. Can ANYONE figure out what style wheels I like? LOL!!

I like this a lot. clean

Not really an height concern, I am 1.73m. The issue is that there is a big GAP between the clutch pedal and the other ones when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down (in comparison to other manual cars), and I do not like that feeling. With the extension added, when I press the clutch pedal, my left foot is not that far away anymore from my right one.

To expand on the reason:
A couple of years back, when I got my Mustang, there was a lot of traffic here about this. A major complaint with the 6-speed was that to work the clutch effectively, you had to drive with your seat brought all the way forward. You wound up with your knees and steering wheel against your chest. I sure was happy to learn of this solution here, though installation was a bear. Even when removing the pedal to install it. Trying to install it in the car was much worse.

I didn't want to step in this:

So I pulled forward a little like this:

Gotta love a stock ride height car!

Trying real hard to not jump on a set of Mach 1 HP wheels from Levittown and putting some PS4s on em

LMR version is lighter, and I think cheaper.

Hello all. Well, my project for the past several rainyast days has been finding and fixing? dam leak on pass a pillar .I watched the vid about the paper hole plugs, went and looked at my car, yep, has em both sides and the pass top one sho nuff been letting water in.

Cleaned up my sister in law's 2017 for her mother's day gift. I forgot how dirty a car can get. Should have taken a before picture. It was a day long event. Yuck. I told her how ashamed I was.

Had Steeda install their Dual Rate Lowering Springs and Jack Rails. The stance being lowered 1" is exactly what I was looking for. Ride in Sport+ is stiffer and will log miles this weekend for a better evaluation. STEEDA POMPANO BEACH ROCKS!

I missed you by a couple of days, was there on Wednesday.

Drove it, then sealed the gap in my Ford Performance CAI (I’ll post pics in that thread), then washed it.
