What did you do to your GT350 or S550 Mustang today?

[DocWalt]

A little late... did the ZL1 Addons towhook install last weekend. I'm not a huge fan of the shiny hex peeking behind the grille when the towhook isn't installed, so I'll have to paint that, but whatever.

Replaced my front hubs with R-hubs for my 19x11" square setup and de-rattled my stock shifter the cheapo way (no MGW shifter yet.)

Used my caliper pad spreader and caliper stud extensions I bought from fellow forum members and it made things so much easier.

Nothing too special here, replaced paper filter with Ford Performance one, Ford passenger side oil separator (I has anyone pick up any substantial oil on the drivers side?). Just ordered Ngauge with Lund E85 Flex tune.

 

[strengthrehab]

Have these on the way.

18x11 Apex EC7. Will be paired with 305/35/18 NT01's

S550: got it back from the bodyshop after having an incident with my trailer. Spoilerless now, but have a GT350 valance and spoiler waiting for it (well, UPS buzzed the tower today with the valance panel but didn't bother to walk the 10 feet to hand it off :/

S197: ordered some 18x11 EC7's and fresh R7's. Making a ton of changes coming up.

I did a test fit on a pair of Speedhut gauges to replace the factory PP gauges. Took a little work to assemble them into the factory bezels but now matches the rest of the gauges nicely.

Thinking of wiring the oil temp sensor into my mishimoto sandwhich plate and oil pressure sensor into the factory pickup location. Anyone done something similar on their S550?

Do they have anything like this for Non-PP Mustangs?

HMMM, Seems someone snuck in and did some power shifting while Dad was "watching" your car.Hard to believe loc-tite didn't hold things together.At least you'll be upgrading to a Tremec. Keep us updated on the swap! Update... The post this was in reference to has been moved to "what did you do ...S197"...sorry for the confusion............

Changed the Diff fluid, washed the car and loaded up for the 17 hour haul to Daytona:

Black Boss - What kind of trailer is that? My 24' Bravo has the wheel wells inside and its really tight with the GT. Looks like yours does not have that. Thanks

 

[TymeSlayer]

Interested in learning more about the trailer as well.

 

[Black Boss]

@boss1 It's a 24' ATC. There's about 2-3" of clearance to each wheel well, and the drivers side is removable with an escape door.

Thanks I will check it out.

Still no 350 for me...just glad none of us got *this* plate:

 

[Black Boss]

Loaded it in the trailer for the 21 hour haul down to COTA, with MVP, Friday thru Sunday. 40% chance of rain Friday/Saturday

 

[VoodooBoss]

Thinking of upgrading my brakes to these monsters.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Sprayed it down with Meguiar's Show and Shine and then put the cover back on her!

 

[DocWalt]

I did some PPF on the rear quarter area of the car (front and rear of the rear wheels) and headlights the other day. When I bought my car it already had some little rock chips on the front end... Trying to decide if I want to spend the money for XPEL on the front or not It's not that hard to throw some roadwrap/trakktape on the front for track use...

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Did Xpel on mine and imho it is a level above Clear Bra. I like that you can do a ceramic coating process over it and it looks stellar. I did my entire hood, fenders, headlights, mirrors , side panel extentions, behind each wheel and probably the most important part , about 7 inches above the front windshield. Make sure you have them go down the 1/2 inch or so that the roof dips down to said windshield . That area gets hammered at the track.

 

[DocWalt]

My biggest issue is that I already have some rock chips and it's hard to justify protecting a front end that's not perfect.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

If not too many ( chips ) it is not a bad idea to do a little touch up, then cover over, as they become invisible, to a degree. Biggest issue with track cars are rock chips, tire residue , etc. and ( Clear Bra/ Xpel ) is an easy way to avoid a repaint on many areas.

Put a fun 14 miles on it (to work and back) before putting it away.
Nasty Nor'easter coming in tonight....Probably won't see any driving until April at this point.
