BMR Tech's S550 Mustang Build: Street/Strip
- Thread starter BMR Tech
- Start date
Thanks Justin!
Right now, we are working on making the Corbeau Seat fit, with the 05-14 Seat brackets. I'll share pics when we get it mounted.
Also - I got news today that my front brakes are completed - and ready for pick-up. I am anxious to go pick them up, and see what kind of weight they shed. Very excited about that.
The remaining pieces I need for the fuel system are showing up today, and I hope to get that mostly completed to.
This thread is just getting started.
Car is approaching six figures in a hurry! Awesome though!!
Six figures with stock headers and converter?!? I hope not! haha
Awesome build thread! This car should be a BEAST!
Making some progress, I would say.
Got the Mickey's mounted to the Billet Specialties wheels. OMG are they sexy. Just waiting on some lugs from BS, and I will mount them up.
Modded the 05-14 Seat brackets, and got the Corbeau FX1 Mounted up.
HIGHLY recommend these seats. So comfy, and such a positive feel. Very happy with my purchase. The guys over at American Muscle definitely led me in the right direction.
These. These are nice. I immediately contacted Aerospace about some brakes for this car. I was going to send my brakes over to them, but before I even had a chance - they ordered some from Ford, and make these front brakes up for me. I chose Aerospace for these, simply because they are local - and I have used their parts in the past with great luck!
This version is the lightweight street version, with vented rotors. Once I swing by their place and pick them up, I will post more info about the weight, my thoughts, etc.
More to come! I'm not stopping anytime soon!

Got the Mickey Thompson tires mounted and balanced. I am awaiting some lugs from Billet Specialties, and I should have some good shots of them on the car - and I will also have some weight info.
I plan on racing the car at the Coyote Shootout on Sunday, so I have a plate full of things to achieve before then.
Return Style Fuel System - starting this in the morning. I will also be running E85.
I should also be installing the Aerospace front brakes, and the Shaftmasters 1-Piece DS. Hope to have those done by Wednesday. I will also have weights from those to share.
I am still very anxious to hear what the car sounds like with the MAK O/R Pipes, and the Magnaflow Comp system. I reckon it is going to sound insane, especially at the track.

What pulley did you end up going with on the Gen II?
I look forward to seeing the final product soon, and you are not messing around!!
Nice little 16+lb weight reduction.
Sweet.
This thing is going to turn a lot of heads at the shootout. Can't wait to see it there. I may be in trouble if we line up together, lol. Congrats.
Preparing for the Coyote Shootout - got the wheels on today. Of course, will have much better pics and more info about these very shortly.
Looks great Kelly, but the OCD in me wishes that the lip/dish on the front and back matched.
I wanna thank the guys over at GForce and FRPP, for getting these in my hands so quickly.
After an initial inspection, I am more than impressed with these shafts. As I've mentioned in other posts, we have been using GForce for IRS components for many years, and I am not surprised at the build quality, one bit. Very excited with my decision on these!
I am crashing on the car, trying to get it ready for this weekend. Just hoping the tune will be available - we'll see.
More coming!

Putting the halfshafts in. Immediately upon holding them...the weight difference is apparent. Typically, I like the lightest stuff possible...but I think the added weight in this particular case, is a bonus. (Must) - I mean, these shafts are good to 1500HP.
Here are some shots I took. Again, FRPP made a great choice with these.
Tune, and some suspension/chassis tweaks......all I need, for the initial round of testing.
As always, more to come!
