    Old Guy Trying To Come Back

    Haven't been on here in forever. I have had several foxes and used to post here all the time. I (like an idiot) sold my last fox about 10 years ago. I didn't mess with cars at all other than driving them for about 8 years and then I sold my Tacoma and bought a Jeep TJ. I love the jeep and...

    Ok I have an 08 v6 with the notorious shaker 500. Battery was draining over night and I read all the crap about the :poo:ty radio/amp issue. Completely unhooked the radio harness from the head unit. Seemed to stop the battery drain....for about a year. Now it's doing it again (radio still...

    Going this week to check out a 2012 automatic GT with 49K miles. I don't know much about the newer cars having only had fox bodies, are there any issues to look for??

    2008 Mustang Stereo Draining Battery With Car Off

    My friend has a 2008 V6 with the shaker system. A few days ago his battery was dead and he assumed it was just because it was old and replaced it. Now a few days later the new battery is dead also. He noticed that while the car is completely shut off every few minutes you hear a loud pop through...

    What Do You Think Of This '82 Coupe?

    foxbody mustang Looks like a pretty clean and straight car and if the mods listed are well done it should be decently fun to drive. I know that's not a factory color but it looks like they went the extra mile and painted the engine bay to match.

    Why A Fox?

    I have been without a mustang for a while now, and have never stopped wanting one. I have looked at everything from new edge cars to test driving a '11 GT but I always come back to looking at and drooling over fox bodies. I found a '92 Notch that is supposed to be an ex Texas DPS car. Not sure...

    Which Would You Start With For A Build?

    I have been looking at building a 4eyed car, nothing fancy just a solid N/A 302 in the 250-300ish HP range, T-5. Something that needs minimal body work just want to completely redo the interior, weather stripping ect. and go with a basic paint job. The question is this, I have found a few 4eyed...

    Hard To Find 4 Bangers

    Seems like 5 years ago there were a large supply of decent condition 87-93 fox 2.3 cars out there for a grand or less. I have been looking for one for a DD but haven't turned anything local up in a while. I guess they are all being lost to 5.0 conversions and turned in to mini stock race cars.

    Buy a used S197 GT or a NEW V6????

    I haven't had a mustang in a few years and am about to remedy that problem. I have been looking at alot of low mileage 2005-2009 GT's, but I am starting to also consider a new 2011 V6. I can get a base V6 for about what a used GT is going to cost. It makes close to the same power as a 4.6 GT...
