Fox Build Thread- Some Days I Should Of Let It Burn Down

No chance in hell, it's hard to hear much of anything over the 4" exhauat while you wipe the tears from the methanol out of your eyes lmao



Surprisingly yes, I don't have a lot of front end travel but the car does like them 1 click from full tight. At full tight it blows the tires off and 2 clicks will be right on the bumper. 1 click = 400' of wheels up action (trying to tame that down a bit too lol)
Honestly I liked the Stranges a lot when I got them , but I'm to OCD/indecisive I'm like maybe I just need to adjust one click...nah two f**c too much...man idk now.

Not much to update, I missed out on the roller due to having to go to the ER for two days I was supposed to meet the guy. No cell services and a guy with money showed up so....it got sold.

I was changing my tire today with a old tire on the matching rim until I can get the new one installed.

I decided to to ditch the SVE progression springs and went back to 4 bangers with on spring coil cut.

Also found out the rims I have, back spacing is like 4 inches. Thinking of going back to ten holes.

The POR15 will be a little more durable and will seal the panels up better.

Devils advocate much :(, I know but the weather here is to inconsistent for me to prep one day and POR 15 the next. It rains almost daily here due to being in between a lake and a sound and a bunch of rivers.

:bang: I need a garage

I also picked up some wheels that were suppose to be a daily driven set...they were not but for what I paid to test fit. I can back, but now I know Nitto fit good.

Guy had them for $500 bucks. Chrome was flaking bad on that one rim and tires had good tread but had dry rot.

Gave him $100 bucks for the set and was able to see if 17X9 with Nitto tires would clear my suspension since it is lowered.

Last time I tried the internet it should work on a tire rim size...I cut a $200 radial.

Was a piece of mind test fit

So wait......The guy wanted 500.00, but you paid 100.00 for those rims with dead rubber that are badly deteriorated from exposure to road salt to use them to verify a fitment?:scratch:
 
I remember this rebuild.
is that a broken rim?

Chrome separating from the rim.

I googled and found what appears to be the company or knock off of the knock of the knock off

In a nut shell. The front tires are good rears are slicked, but the rear rims have no issues just the fronts. Sooo i guess I got a pair?
 
So when I had the seat out for cleaning. I found that the bolt on the cross brace had liberated itself and fell into the floor.

Guess B cam power plus my fat a$$ was too much for stamped steel.
