new car, not a fox though December 22, 2012, 02:51:18 PM After 8 years of trying to buy back my 85 TC, I think I have finally given up. I also recently sold my 07 S197, with a built motor and single turbo kit. Also went back to the new owner and tried buying that one back, with no luck.My original plan was to buy back the 85 and swap in a coyote. There have been a few fox bodies that popped up with coyote swaps, but nothing that really excited me. So I did the next best thing:So far, I love it. And believe it or not, it's an auto. I never thought I would own one, but don't knock them until you have driven them. Also, an auto fits my future plans better! Quote Selected

Well, I am going to try and leave alone until spring, so I can get a baseline at the track. I just missed Atco and Cecil closing for the year. Then, probably run all year with a tune, cai, boss manifold, o/r x-pipe. If all goes well, maybe winter of 13/14, I will install a power adder. How's your car coming? Quote Selected

How's your car coming? Untouched for a long time now. I think I'm gonna just sell it, I just don't have the time, between family, work, and school. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it. Quote Selected
new car, not a fox though Reply #5 – December 22, 2012, 07:59:46 PM Sweet. Boss302? I didn't know they came autoloaded? Buddy of mine recently picked one up. Had a hard time breaking 13's stock. Didn't fuss with it much and went right to a centri. I forget if it was procharger or Vortech though. Quote Selected

Maybe just let it sit until things slow down?Quote from: shame302;405179Sweet. Boss302? I didn't know they came autoloaded? Buddy of mine recently picked one up. Had a hard time breaking 13's stock.

new car, not a fox though Reply #13 – December 26, 2012, 12:25:34 AM The stock wheels on my Mustang aren't bad but the GT/CS wheels are pretty cool. Shipping would be horrible though :hick:. What wheels are on your Mustang BTW? They look pretty cool.The 6 speed auto in the new Mustangs is pretty good. It actually responds very well to throttle inputs. It's almost as good as a stick.
