true true


ur honda was worse then that.... thats when u know to get rid of it

Pretty much.

i had my fling with fox bodies..and now its in the junkyard lol, but theres sooo much stuff out there for those cars its insane. subframe connectors should be the first thing on your list... but if we're talking about the engine, remove the air silencer, bigger maf, and put in a k&n drop in, apparently the original intake flows considerably better than a fenderwell cai. another fairly inexpensive thing you can do is get the gt40 heads and intake off an explorer 5.0. can pick them up for pretty cheap, probably less than a grand and they flow a lot better than the o.e. heads. bigger throttle body. you would probably have to tune it though..I really wanted to do longtubes but a good set of shorties and a catless x/h pipe would do. a 4:10 rear gear would really wake the car up too. i could go on and on but then i would want another fox body so im gonna stop.

nick is probably gonna tell you to pull out the 5.0 and put in a turbo 2.3...but he's one of those crazy svo guys.

where should I get subframe connectors and gears? where did you shop for parts?

informed decisions come with alot of research and patience.
those 2 things are not made clear in this instance.
indecisiveness is apparent.

If you want something fast and easy to mod save up a few more bucks and get a 98 F-BODY. Fast stock, and very easy to mod.

an LS1 is more than 'just a few bucks' than a 92 honda civic...

can't shoot a gun with no bullets man.

either spend the dough or be patient to get something worth the money

junkyard build twin turbo 5.0.

run 10s for 3k.

Well I don't know then. The Fox body has a ton of potential, if you throw a lot of money at it. I've seen street car Fox bods go 8s in the 1/4 mile and drive back home, but I've also seen some hardly run. It's hard to say, if I were you I'd stay away. More work than you're expecting in my opinion.

a fox is worth the money and can put down quite alot of power. it would be a direct no money trade.

Agreed. Save some money and get an LS1.

if the car works 1/4th the time and runs 13's I'd be happier than having a car that works 1/4th the time and runs 18's...

id do it... for sure. no doubt.

u have a solid dd for snow and bullshit...

buy a car that is driven by the correct wheels... and is from the get go 4-5 seconds quicker in the quarter.

 

[IDAFC21]

if its just a straight up trade, then why not. i mean...cant be any worse than the honda right? haha. hell, even if it doesnt work what are you out? at least compared to the honda youve got a better platform to work w/. and if it doesnt work out then oh well. dump it and drop some money into something more worthwhile

[Turk]

Random pic or somebody u know?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

in all honesty if you loved the mark which was pretty much a fox anyway wasnt it...just do it. its a much better platform to start with. parts are cheap and can be found used...
