Fabman replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Naw all the smoke was gone outta that one so I have to replace the battery with a fresh smoke filled one. (see full post)-
Fabman replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.It was....ultimately the car was faster with the N/A Coyote and suspension upgrades. But boy did that thing haul azz down the straightaways. (see full post)

Fabman replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Yeah, I jumped it with the battery charger and pulled it off right away and let the alternator charge the battery and that was too much for it..... (see full post)

Exactly where it is in my 944, leave me alone in my delusion that its still a road car. Well it does have air con and a full interior.
GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Getting all that smoke back into the battery would have kept you busy. I got to page 45 of your build last night. That blower motor must have been fun. (see full post)-
GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.Haha, i actually read the instructions down to the point where it says to disconnect the battery if jump starting. Yeah they are sensitive little things. (see full post)
06mach1 replied to the thread What is everybody using to lift their Mustang off the ground?.That steel is strong. After installing quite a few of these I've found that starting with a 5/16" pilot point bit helps. Once the.bit stops drilling, then I switch to 1/8" and then work my way up to 5/16. (see full post)-

Still less than an OEM AGM battery up front and high. Putting that ground close to the starter on the engine itself really makes a difference.
TMSBOSS replied to the thread What is everybody using to lift their Mustang off the ground?.Exactly what I used on my 350R. Works Great...once you get the holes drilled through the armor plate.....steel ford puts in the pinch welds. (see full post)-

Like Sal said!!! I had a similar issue. I killed the battery, put on a conventional charger and got it running. Then I noticed a "Swelled" battery case. I guess not all lithium batters burst into flames when abused. PSA. Don't mess with a...

I will say this though....do NOT let this battery overheat. Charge it S-L-O-W..... I let mine go dead running the electric water pump and then started the motor without letting the battery cool off and the alternator was enough to cook the...

Run a secondary ground from the battery to the engine mount bolt with the current main harness ground. If the car stalls hot on track, you will have a tough time getting a restart with the current configuration. I blew 300A fuses twice until I...

300A Connection point turned up so some quick fab the other night and bracket made, nutserts in and a quick paint. Mounting point done. Spare hours while dinner was in the oven, grabbed an extra pair of hands and crimped all the cables and bolted...

Fabman replied to the thread S550 Upside Down and on the Wrong Side.That's the smallest plastic ATV battery box I could find and the battery is tiny so that box is stuffed with foam. The frame I made from aluminum angle and the hold down is 1/8" stainless steel strap. Been rocking that setup since the 2021 racing... (see full post)
