Classic cars wasn’t expensive enough, I’ve decided to pick up surfing too. The combo of them looks great.

Heads and cam are in this is the first start been working like crazy haven’t had time to work on it. Had a slight tick upon startup, but it sounds like it went away from the video.

So I did the maximum motorsports k-member, neutral offset control arms, and billstein coilovers with 10” springs and it’s on sn95 spindles. Only problem is as shown above the tires rub on the trim piece on the front of the fender, I honestly thought it was going to clear a lot better. It’s not at ride height as well due to the lack of motor but I only see that clearance getting tighter so that won’t help. There is a ton of space behind the tire so I could just do rearward offset control arms instead of normal offset but I’m hoping to avoid that so that I can have more caster adjustment. Also have a ton of wheel to coil over clearance so I could get more positive offset wheels (currently 18x8.5” with a 24mm offset, could be slightly off there, 245/40-18 tires) but again hoping to avoid this (this one’s financial, trying to build a motor here). Any chance someone else ran into this? I don’t think I can just cut the trim piece but it and a small tab for the fender liner (just now realizing how bad that will rub) are all that rub, well and the brake lines but I can fix that. Any help would be much appreciated. Maybe there’s a replacement trim piece that allows more fender to wheel clearance?

Trying to decide if I should go coyote or 347 stroker . Would I need to tub the car , does anyone know what is the widest wheels I can fit on a 1982 foxbody . I want to know if I should tub it or if it’s fine how it is now

It's not spraying as slow as the camera thinks. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator 2 or 3 weeks ago because it was stuck open. Also repaired a bad ecm ground. Ran smooth for a week then started to miss fire this week. 3.8 engine

My oil pressure sensor nut is rounded off what is another way I can get it off if anyone can help. Just bought locking pliers will be trying that when I get them in the mail later

Although actual foxes don't hibernate away the Canadian winter, it's probably only a couple of weeks to go before this one gets put away for the season. So far, the autumn is still holding on.

Hi, novice mechanic here - I recently diagnosed a problem with the passenger side tie rod and I'm going to go ahead and replace the 40 year-old inner and outer tie rods on my 85. I found several great videos on youtube but one small detail confuses me - on the inner tie rod there seems to be a small retaining pin. The LMR video suggests that the pin will just back off or pop out from removing the inner tie rod from the steering rack. Is that right? I ordered the Moog inner and outer tie rods - do they come with replacement pins for that part? Thanks.

I don’t remember what I disconnected this grey connector from when I removed the dash can anyone tell me? Also I manual swapped my car and I figured this sensor on the clutch quadrant was important I found a jumped connector behind the dash is this the correct connector and what does it do because there is a separate clutch switch on the clutch pedal side of the box this is on the gas pedal side of the box. Picture one is the connector and pics 2&3 are the switch thing and connectors

On the back side of the window trim there are these plastic strips. They are are deteriorated and brittle. Do they make replacements or just go without. I’m cleaning to paint.

Hi - does anyone know if this a 79/93 h pipe? Would not fit on 87 5.0 cougar (wouldn’t line up at all).

My husband had it in his stockpile and thought it was but now is trying to figure out if it might be specific for certain models. We have a bunch of fox body Capris we can use it on - hoping one of the years might match this since he couldn’t use it on his 87 Cougar. Thanks!

Got caught in a lightning storm but no rain. So perfect time to stop for some pics

Okay folks. Time for the next big project. Ebay special. Prius electric power assist steering, since my 1980 was and still is a manual rack.

Who's done this and what advice do you have for me ? Did you mostly keep the Fox column and graft in the Toyota bit ? Or did you use mostly Prius column and then graft on just a couple Fox sections ?

I'm also debating whether to keep a rag joint or not. The Borgeson u-joint with anti vibration seems nice, but certainly adds to the cost.

Thanks folks !

Super fortunate to be able to borrow a "very large" 3ft torque wrench from a friend to get the fresh SN95 hubs torque'd to 250 ft-lbs. Made the job a piece of cake.

Can someone tell me a good reliable set of motor mounts to use for a street car with about 400hp? I want to put in a good set and not have to worry about replacing for awhile. Thanks.

Hello I have a 1993 lx that has been converted to a 5 lug it has the big grease cap in the front so I think that’s not the sn95 setup correct? And it has 5 lug 31 spline axles on the back. Iam getting ready to wide body the car and need some recommendations on wheel spacers to run Iam doing 1.5 inches. Do I need hubcentric or would I be okay if I take my time on setup using lug centric

So I replaced the clutch fan and that howling still happened so I was just looking around and I ended up pulling the pcv with the car running and covered it with my finger and the sound stopped. So I went and got a new pcv valve bust the sounds still happens. TYIA!

This is my 1990 LX with gt40 heads, explorer intake, 70mm throttle body, and 3.55 gears. Does this acceleration seem on par for these mods, or do I have some power left on the table that’s not reaching the wheels?

Hello all, does anyone have any recommendations for a fuel cell to run in the rear spare tire area of my 85 hatch? This 5 gallon cell is not holding up for running it on the street

Hey guys, this is for anyone using a Holley Terminator X on their Fox with a sbf. I made something to help analyze your datalog and tune for FREE (actually costs me money) it’s called TuneDoc.io. Before you say anything, I’ve built this specifically for Foxbody 5.0’s. I’m not trying to sell anything, just looking to get some feedback on if it’s helpful.

I installed a Holley Terminator X on my 93 GT last year and it hasn’t done much besides sit there because, even though it ran pretty good with a base tune, I was having all sorts of idle issues with a stepper IAC valve and I wouldn’t drive it because pulling up to a stoplight was always some kind of embarrassing scene. Also didn’t want to pay for a tuner, was afraid to even drive it there, I like learning things myself too. Before the Terminator X I was tuning on a QuarterHorse but the stock ECU is just very limited and difficult to learn.

I made this tool and it basically helped me narrow down the issues I was having, first I had the wrong IAC type selected, then my parked IAC settings for smooth startups at different temps and ramp down settings for rolling up to traffic lights.

I know what most will say, “I’m not letting AI tune my car”. Fair enough but that’s not what this is. Rather than reading multiple data points on a graph, it interprets the data for you. It takes your tune file and a datalog and does an in-depth analysis on it. It has a heavy focus on idle since that’s something a lot of people trying to tune their car struggle with. It points things out, tells you what to look for, makes recommendations. No it’s not going to tune your car for you, it’s not claiming too, it’s more of a tune diagnostic tool or a side kick for anyone trying to tune their car themselves.

No signup required, it runs off your browser. Just give it a shot and let me know if it sucks or if it actually helps.

How to use it:
-Go to TuneDoc.io
-Add your vehicle info
-Upload Datalog export and tune file (.csv & .terx)
-You get back a report you can save as a PDF
