What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

[benanderson89]

The V8 bug finally bit you, eh?
I remember when you said driving the V8 was a bit too scary when you got their red one on loan when your EB was in for repairs! How times change. :cheers:

Yes it finally got me


In fairness though my last encounter with a GT was a cold wet November with brand new P Zeros ... not the best introduction :lol:

True... true. That and it was the car that was eventually crashed into a brick wall then sold as slightly used to an Autocar reporter. :lol:

Red's a scary colour, too fast for your average joe. ;)!

Shouldn’t you be fixing your clunk?

I wish it was that simple...................... Friday I've got Alan at Pumabuild having a look at it.

I'm still sat on these being causes:
1) Steeda inserts
2) Dead bushing somewhere
3) *New* lower Toe links bushings
4) Alignment (Why not hey)

I’m sure Alan will take one look at that EB of yours and have your rear end fixed up in no time

That's the hope xD! The bladyyyy auzzie's didn't manage to sort it (Pedders UK guys), The japs didn't (Tegiwa imports), the Americans couldn't (Ford), so lets see if Britain can bring it home. :lol:

Honestly, it’d be good to see the Brits achieve something for a change :bolt:

Heres what we have been doing the last few days !

Strip down of turbocharger , charge pipe kit etc for thorough checkover and overhaul

Turbo re instated with new turbo blanket and re worked actuator bracket to allow more efficient operation

Tial Q blow off valve chosen in preference to current recirc valve , this can be seen blanked off in latter pics

Another shot of the Tial Q BOV

Filter element thoroughly cleaned and re oiled as part of the service carried out on the vehicle while its been off the road

Recirc valve blanked off

All intake pipes re modelled and re finished in crinkle black coating for better fit and finish

All back together

Bay given a clean up and carbon looking good

now we are data logging current performance to make the latest changes so we can switch the water methanol kit back on and see what power we have !!

Fun times

got all excited then thought you'd managed twin turbs on a normal sized engine.
