What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Agreed, the long necks are great for spots that are tough to get my fat sausage fingers and hands in

That's what she said.

For real though, it's great. What surprised me the most about the Fuel one is the relatively high fastening torque. 55ft/lbs doesn't sound like much but in my experience it will get most bolts you'd use a 3/8 on pretty close to their spec on install. I'm definitely one of those people who are anal about factory spec, but it's nice to barely have to make a pass with the torque wrench after.

Same here regarding following manufacturer torque specs. The Milwaukee does seem to get pretty darn close to the advertised torque on most everything that I’ve used it for

Fitted PP2 wheels on my GT (Euro spec - PP1 equivalent):

Tyres are Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R 305/30/19 squared.

How you findining the Ultrac Vorti R's?

I see the Ultrac Vorti R+ is out now and I was all set on buying Conti Sport Contact 7's, but the Vorti R+ tyres are cheaper. Just there are no reviews to go off. I can get 305/30/20 and 265/35/20 all in for £717 - which seems ridiculously cheap!

Thanks.

Ordered 2 TruFlow 2.5 inlet/outlet 4" long resonators to calm down the rasp. Keeping factory active exhaust for now. Still saving for FI/ESS supercharger. Scored some Bosch 57# injectors from member on here yesterday to be delivered Monday.

Had them for one season, before switching to semi-slick Federals and later Cup2s. Perfectly adequate, if you don't plan to track them.

Got the front bumper back front body shop to fix some damage and the paint is a perfect match!!! Apparently pretty hard with OF. Then I put on the cervinis upper and lower grille.

The weeklong monsoon ceased for the weekend, so I washed mine. Prepped for a nice Saturday drive.

Received some art work I ordered , now need to figure out where to hang it . My wife thinks I am opposed.

Bought some new headers to put on before the sale of the car in a few weeks. I’m running cat less now but since I’m selling to a good friend we’ve got a good deal worked out. Soon I’ll be saving up for that down payment on the Darkhorse or 350. I can’t wait. The sale pays off all the cars the wife and I have and I also get another car in exchange for the deal so I won’t complain.

9 below and p zero tires. dancing on glass. Good thing it was only out of driveway so a delivery could get up to the house.

Took my best friend and his missus out for a drive. He was in the back. This is the carnage he left me with. World has ended. Game over. Initiate meltdown. Dear god think of the children.

So it gave me a good excuse to clean the interior. Quick vacuum, leather conditioned the seats (Gliptone conditioner), plastics wiped down (Meguiars supreme shine with Scotchgard), glass cleaned (Stoner invisible glass), and carpet spritzed with freshner (Autoglym autofresh).

Looking much better. And smells amazing.

It seems he also switched your manual for an automatic when you weren't looking

10 speed for the win! My last S550 (2016 reg) was a manual. Hated it.
