    :) Feels great, when you beat a Chevy, or :D
    A nice raceweekend, and my Fox runs fine. After racing sunday, I changed my tires, and drove back home, 366Miles, seven houers.
    " Driven to race " I think that is why we have cars, or ? :flag:

    The Nova guy, redlighted, so did I, but he more than me. :D :rolleyes:

    Wow. 480 to the ground and you drive 366 miles back and forth to the track! That's very impressive. Very nice car too! Anymore pics?

    sweet car! looks really clean and i like the look! btw how tall are those rear tires and and you running stock suspension, or at least replacment suspension parts ( not back halved)

    i am running aftermarket arms and the cars suspension geometry is the same a stock and i am wondering how tall of a tire i can fit under the, my current street tires are 27s and they fit, my track tires are 26 and i need a taller tire due to almost hitting the rev limiter at the traps, i am wondering if i can fit a 28 easily on my car

    Thanks.

    Foxfan88, Thanks. Well, Its STEEDA lower alu weightjackers, and STEEDA alu tubular upper Control arms. I use airbags inside my rear springs, and this combo works fine.
    I just lift the car 1.5",using the jacker adj. for running my 28inch Racemaster DOT musclecar tires (275/60-15).,I use approx 13psi left side, and 23 psi right side in my springairbags. Strange 10way adj struts and shocks. I rolled my fenders a little, and just some small hammering at the inside chassi.
    I have 245/50-16 as street tires, and just lowered the car again for normal street driving. Also have a set of 275/50-15 Racemasters for street and strip.

    Good luck, hope you find the right combo for your setup :nice:

    ps, whats your eight mile numbers ?

    Thanks, yes, Its a car without any rust, and Its nearly stock looking. Like the feeling of having a kind of sleeper :D
    I have used hundreds of hours, taking care of my little Fox.
    Really like this car, has been mine since 1999.

    so i am assuming your suspension keeps the samer dimensions as stock? my wheels i drag with has less BS so i am clear width wise, i am clear height wise, i am just worried about the front to back clearence.

    i also have aftermarket upper and lower arms, drag springs and shocks and i run flipped quads

    my 1/8 mile times are

    1.64 60'
    7.7@ 87 mph

    Yes, Its the same dimensions as stock, same length, upper and lower. I have checkd my chassi if there is any marks from the tires, but no marks so far.
    You got a cool car by the way, :nice:

    Nice runs, a little faster than what I ran the other day, but our 86 looks similar only Blue and non TTop.

    (not it's best pass, into a headwind)
    1.625
    7.710 @ 87.93
