It's a 95 , 5 speed car 80,000 miles on the odometer.

What can I use on my fox, and what do I sell? I'm thinking the engine I will rebuild this winter, should have the same trans I'll keep for a spare, same with rear end...

Besides 5 lug / disc brake rear swap, what other parts can I use on my 90?

In light of recent "my truck ate a lifter" events, parts for this one will be up for sale sooner rather then later. Don't want to sell something I might have could need later.

Thanks!

  • Injectors - same 19# as yours
  • Fuel Rail- they say the 94-95 handles more HP
  • mini starter- replace your old style 1960's era starter
  • MAF- it's 70mm vs the fox body 58mm- you'll need an adapter as this one has a flange on one end
  • If it's a AODE you can replace your AOD internals with them or just run the AODE and a bauman control pack
  • Front Seats

IF you feel adventerous- guys have been know to swap over the

What's the reason it's a parts car? It looks pretty good.
It does look good! The body is in great shape, and the interior is so - so. The underneath is soo rotted out it isn't even funny. Apparently the old dude that owned it pulled the engine out to fix the small amount of rot in the strut towers. Then his old lady got sick so the car sat in the barn. Then the car got pushed outside, and sat outside for quite a while. Now it is so bad, I thought I was going to break the sway bar off when I tightened the chain binder.
 
The T5 trans is two inches longer than the fox trans, FYI. It wont fit quite right as a direct swap (shifter location). I do believe the internals are the same though, for rebuilding yours if you think it will shift smoother.
