Should've gotten some that said "TH3 0G" or TH3 0HG"

should a would a could a. im not paying 200 a year for a license plate.
"og fox" was available.

T ARMBAR is available. Hmmmmm lol

exactly, with your plate combo, 2#s with 3 letters or vise versa, its MUCH cheaper than a regular plate... I dig the 82 FOX plate :)

Did you get it in the black plates or the red ones.

i got it in black, i figured it be a nice contrast on the red.

Lowering Springs installation
 

Found some Eibach Sportlines on Craigslist over the weekend.

Sits just the way I want it, the single exhaust is rubbing when i hit hard bumps. Already got a fix for that soon enough. Just waiting to find some muffler dumps. Got Longtubes and o/r x pipe waiting to go in next time.

Re: OG FOX Build Thread
 

I was confused as Fuck earlier until I realized what was going on lol

subd to see the awesomeness in progress.

New stance is great!

thanks steve, something about older cars, but it just feels right driving it.

nice photog skills, youll give stormtrooper a run for his money

thanks! can't wait to put in the next stuff...ASAP!

Hell to the yea, great springs and good leaving the isolaters out! Looks bad ass... if you want the rear lower, put the end of the pigtails at the very back of the control arm... looking from the back of the car the end of the pigtail should be at 6 oclock. looks like the one in the install is at 3...

Love the stance now, the wheels are classic time capsules of what was cool 30 years ago... Id rock it exactly as it sits, but put tailpipes on it man.... dumps are gonna annoy the shit out of you.:insane:

well i'll figure something out, its banging on the axle now. love that stance, will have to try reseating the springs another time.

Looks damn good! If you do change the exhaust hit me up, I"ll take the stock tip off your hands. And like Strokd said, dump will end up pissing you off, old Foxes are echo chambers, it will be loud as shit no matter what mufflers you run. Get some later LX tailpipes on there, it will look better and sound way better.

X2 there is no way I would run dumps on my fox. My long tubes are going on now with an off road h with flowmasters. I guess I should post a build thread but I'm lazy.

well i'll see how bad it is here in a few weeks. something has to be done because of the rubbing on the axle pipe.

Order some Mac tailpipes. They fit great and look awesome
U can run any muffler brand u want with em. I have Borlas with my mac pipes

My car was taken to an exhaust shop and they had to make the pipe so they wouldn't hit the axles. Been down that road before.

Mac. lol

Well that was about 9 years ago so I didn't know about little tricks like that.

turns out i was wrong. it wasnt hitting the tailpipes, its hitting the tire on the rear. TIME TO ROLL DEM FENDERS!

Replaced both front brake hoses. both were cracked.

Rides and Drives so much better with the little upgrades today!

This car fits you so perfectly Dale. Had fun working on it! More to come!

hell yeah! thanks for showing me the ropes. mucho gracias.

Don't forget you'll need a new trans crossmember when you put duals under it! Or you might have gotten lucky and someone swapped it in already when it got the T5.

You need the 'double hump' version so you can run two pipes.
