Okay so you do have a manual 6mt? What do you mean by it's driving aggressively? Is it hesitating, bucking, stuttering? Could be a number of things. If you have no cel, I would disconnect the battery for 30 mins or so then see if that changes anything. These cars are also for the APP sensor going bad. Explain your issue more

 

Only used a little filler. Not perfect but looks better


2 coats of primer. Now ready for paint

 

And just brought that fridge into garage. Free from my buddy, most fancy beer fridge I’ve seen

 

If you don't go 13's, I'm disowning you and taking those wheels back. I'll teach you to cut a decent 60ft in a FWD car just like I taught you to shift.

 

Probably needed another coat but I only had 3 cans. Pretty happy with this color

 

Huge thanks to Beanstune hooking me up with some good wheels/tires for this car. Ive been waiting for a long time for some nice wheels, new combo should be mounted and balanced Friday. Cannot wait

 

Well, I'm not disowning him....

 

Met my goal! Got in the 13s

 

Was a pretty successful day at the track with some friends. First off the new wheel/tire combo looks killer and feels a lot better also. Car did great at the track. Made about 4 runs. Pretty happy ending to the season. Now Mustang time

 

Fuck yeah!

 

Very nice!

 

 

Thanks guys it was pretty cool experience. It also gave me some motivation for the notch. I saw one of my friends I haven't seen in a while and he said he could help me with the turbo fabrication. In exchange I'll put his sticker on my car. Hopefully it works out

 

I'll believe it when I see it...

 

at one point I considered taking things back to my roots and getting my hands dirty on a fox body...
but then prices went nuts.

 

This guy is actually texting me already so I have some hope

 

Prices are definitely going up. I bought my notchback as a 4cy manual for $2,200. Now it looks like you can't touch a roller for under 5k. It's crazy. The hatchbacks are a little cheaper. Aftermarket parts are still affordable though just hard to find a clean car for a decent price.

 

Dude, 5.0HO H Pipe and Flowmasters...NON GT coupes...even hatches...
all my friends had them. I was too poor so I had a Taurus Wagon.
I still get hard thinking about the sound of that exhaust pulling away.

 

Im getting hard from just you talking about it!! Dude a Taurus wagon? Those are some rare beasts. I had a 98 24 valve v6-Actually surprised some people haha We put cobra R wheels on it

 

Makes me want to look for another one. Miss my 87 LX, 5.0, 5spd

 

Fuck yeah...
if I had the income I have now back then...
I would have built a real panty dropper...
my buddy still has a fox vert with a stroker waiting to be swapped in.
I had a neighbor with a factory cobra with a supercharger on it...I think a 93...
he knew what it was worth so that never happened for me.

The Wagon was an '88...had the rear facing jump seats...made it fun to go paintballing hookers errr...pick up friends and groceries.

 

I have only owned this one and it was highly modded from the start. I kinda want to dd one in the summer but thatd be hard with kids so the TL is fantastic. The 93 cobras are super nice and very valuable. My brother has a teal 93 cobra Ill post up a pic of it soon.

Ohhhh you had an older Taurus Nice, My bro had an 89 SHO and it was fun for what it was. But when you mentioned the rear facing rear bench it made me think of my friends Caprice wagon that had that feature. Every time we did something and drove it around I asked to sit in the back hahaha made me feel like a kid

 

Yeah dude...
I'm old!
After that car was my first manual of my own...87 Corolla SR5 Coupe...carbureted and manual rwd!

Fox probably isn't a great daily...especially in the rain.

 

Ohhh man is that an ae86? Not too knowledgeable on the yotas but I know they make some great cars. And it would just be a summer dd. Ive had an 02 gt and it was also a great car and easy to work on. I really like the 3v cars too- 05-10.
BTW your wrangler looks awesome!

 

Got caught by surprise. It saw one day of snow and oh man that was fun on summer tires

Sleeping beauty. Time for a front suspension and brake overhaul!!!

 

So I have some plans for the winter, front end needs some work:
-oem compliance bushings
-sankei 555 or oem lower ball joints
-timken wheel bearings
-another upstream o2 sensor-rear
-rear engine mount-front and side already replaced in summer
-vtec solenoid gasket
-front and rear brakes
-paint brembos
-fix my small rust spot...again
As far as the mustang goes, my friend wants me to trailer it to his house at the end of the month to fab up the hot side and hopefully some other stuff. I'm hoping he doesnt bail, should be a great winter with lots of progress

 

Timesert the brembos when you have them off. Also I think the rear needs some camber arms!

 

I will message you when I have them off, might send them your way if youre interested! And yes I would like those. But from all the above parts Im looking at $500 bucks-ouch

 

Psh, nothing!

Let me know and we can coordinate something. Or I can ship you the tools and you can do it yourself and send back when done.

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. Any bites on the car? Hopefully my next post will be pics of the notch on the trailer going to get built

 

Nothing concrete, but might have something in the works.

 

@90foxnotch thanks, man...
yeah it was the AE86 I think...rwd and carburated was fun in the rain!

 

heck yeah those are really cool cars, cant beat a carb and rwd, btw do you guys think the red stripe tails will look on my silver? Not sure how but one of my stock taillights are cracked on the edge

 

any little bumper kiss pushes the tails into that edge and cracks them off. I bet even being too tightened when you install could do it.
Thanks for the Wrangler compliment! I forgot to mention.
Red stripes are the best looking tail on the car, period...IMO.

 

Ive never had them out before, but I did have the rear bumper resprayed...Not sure when it happened.
I really dig the older wranglers just a great classic look-and built in my hometown!
If Breezy still has the tails in a little while I might buy them

 

They gone!

 

Son of a.....no biggie that's fine. Ill look around on the market soon

 

Bumper and fenders are off because the car is scratched up enough and lots of work to go


The 245 tires look so tiny Hahahaha

 

that body style is perfection...
Love it, man...post more of that.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it, when all the fab and major work is done I'll get it together and post some pics. Cant wait to wet sand and buff this car again
