Talk to people. There has to be some "friendly" inspector somewhere on the island. My guy will give you up to 5 extra months (as allowed by law) if you pay upfront and dont come near the end of the month. He just writes up the sticker, as long as your tires arent bald and your insurance and...

I have a Steeda knob. It came as a gift with the Tri-Ax. Its metal on the top and bottom and rubber in the middle. Its a great knob and sticks to your hand. Never missed a shift with this combo. The only down side is that it leaves black rubber on your palm, especially in the summer, or if you...

2004. Just picked up my car (literally) from having the subframes welded in. I could smell the paint on them through the floor boards the car had that nice even bounce that you get. Gas light was on and I had to stop at a gas station to get enough gas to get home. It had just started to snow...

I like the blue but it has to be spotless. Red will get everyones attention including the cops. White with blue stripes would be my chioce. For the love of god dont get a silver color. Its the most boring color in the world. I see lots of people that drive silver cars in the rain and fog and...

All the ricers are going old school these days (Sorry :shrug:). I forget what the ricer name is for these type of rims but they are starting to come back round. And are going for crazy prices. Check Craigslist Hawaii and look for rims. The old BBS mesh rims that came on Datsuns and Nissans are...

Awesome! Glad it happened. Can you only drive it on weekends? Or a few times a week? Or is it a total mileage limit for the year? I want to do it with mine. I might put 4k on in a good year if the weather is nice. -25% for the 4.10's. Are shots of the engine bay required?

Replace the thermostat and gasket. I had the thermostat housing on mine ground flat too. There should be a check valve (hole) on the t-stat, it should point straight up at the 12 o'clock position. The spring should point toward the engine. A good one will open up gradually. A bad one wont...

R whines in almost every car except an automatic. Really easy to tell if someone has a manual and is in reverse. Unless you rely on back up lights. Your new pieces have most likely changed the harmonics in your rear. Causing an audible whine.

If your clutch throw is short at the tranny, then it will be long at the pedal. And if throw is long at the tranny it will be short at the pedal. I like a short and fast pedal. So you will have to set it up to have a lot of leverage at the tranny. To have a shorter throw. It works in reverse of...

A vaccum leak will cause popping under load. Try running your car with the oil cap off and see what happens.

Is the cam original, or is it a letter cam? It sounds like your problem is too much cam and not enough gear. Which means that you have to keep the revs higher than you normally would, to keep it from bucking. A quick fix is driving around in a shorter gear than you used to drive in. Or get...

P.S. Just noticed that your door handles should be black.

I think its cool that you are registering it as a classic. Never seen a fox yet that has classic plates. Its about time that someone does. Thanks for doing it. Just need a set of 10 holes and a paint job and Im good to go. Thought of doing it many times myself. Let us know how it turns out.

My first ever car was a 81 GT in 92. My second Stang is an 89 GT purchased in 03. It came with 4.10's and passenger car tires. Thats the way I had to learn to drive it. I can do 25 mph in 4th gear and not lug it. Or start in 3rd. I like shifting. Its part of driving a manual. You can always...

Get some 4.10's. Really suprised that no one said this in 56 pervious posts. They would be be great in the Fox, but they will rip it in the 197. I would lose the spoiler, the foglights, and the fuel door (on the new one) and black out the mirrors and badging, but thats just me. BTW your car is...

A guy at a junkyard once told me that if its a 5.0 they will be advertising it. (Fender Badge), never thought about it but all the V8 cars had 5.0 badges. Since you look stock and live in PA. there should be no problem unless they want pics of the engine bay. If the preson thats certifiying it...

I was gettin on the car hard one day and the rise from the front end pulled the #5 plug wire. I guess thats when you know you are getting power to the ground and making a decent amount of it. My motor mounts are shot though. Yours might be too.

It might sound like a nightmare job but if you are getting paid hourly for it then thats a ****load of money (wasted) thats going into your pocket. Make sure to charge him for all the time you put into it. Including posting on the web with questions like this. This guy is obviously an idiot with...

I actually bought it from a guy that worked at walmart. As I was going to get some groceries that night. No BS. You should have seen how "retarted" it looked then. And it actually was a NJ car to begin with too. I took all the stickers and stuff off of it. It was loud. 40 Series Flows and no...

92 you have my dream fox. Except for stock widened and skinnied rims and yellow corners. Love the stock hood. And the KB with extra whine. There are too many foxes with 4" cowls and flows that are non functional around my way. Pretty but slow. You need to post some idle/rev vids and a burnout...
