    Will Fox Bodies go up in value?

    We sold a fully restored red GT 'vert(engine, trans, diff rebuilt, new interior, etc) for over $10k. Anyone who saw it said it was worth it, so I disagree with this statement.

    Anyone remember this Saleen?

    576whp on 12-14 supercharged psi with 8.8:1 CR? It hints at a stroker, so I'd say 347, but still...I don't believe the number. The block would have been gone by then, too.

    Electric exhaust cutouts, will they fit on a fox

    Um, there is definitely a performance factor to them. Being able to bypass cats and mufflers is worth a ton of power. Doing it for noise is the worst reason. Just make sure you don't do it in public places where people who get pissed off are. They'll go on anything, btw.

    what color(s) were fox 302 blocks from the factory?

    Battleship grey. That's the way mine was, my dad's, and my brother's.

    I got a new 5.0 tonight!

    I almost **** my pants when I saw the car. I thought it was my brother's old 5.0 (orange w/ white top and white ponies), but his was a 5 speed. If it was his old car, you would have had a problem on your hands. Springtime editions are some of the most valuable 5.0s out there.

    went for a ride in a 600 hp saleen

    Am I the first person to notice the Hoosiers on the front? Can't tell me this thing hasn't been beaten.

    Tubro timer?

    I think you're thinking of a boost controller. Some companies make electronic ones that modify the signal to the wastegate. Superchargers have no such product.

    Wreaking Havoc

    You're a troll, and a bad one at that. You should honestly be ashamed of what you posted. And yes, I would say the same if someone from their camp did that here.

    Dominion Performance, Heads?

    I've never heard of a set of Arao heads getting delivered. Dominion made them, but had poor advertising. Arao had great advertising, but hasn't made anything.

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    The floor can easily be patched using random sheetmetal. I'm just going to a parts guy to get the extension off the rail (at the rear rebar) and a bumper rebar, shouldn't be more than $100. I tossed the guy a few bucks to cover the labor..it wasn't nearly as bad as I was imagining. Lesson learned.

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    All of the guesses are pretty much true. In Manitoba, you need a safety that is less than a year old to sell a car. If you don't have the safety, it's the buyer's responsability to get it, which drops the price of the car. They caught other things on the car, but the rust was tough to see unless...

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    I'm taking the fall for the shop. I went to see the car tonight, and the rust turns out to be on the back of the rails, by the crash bar. There were some other holes in the floor that should not have passed a safety inspection, so I will be definitely talking to the shop I'm defending...

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    It's not supercharged anymore (although the new owner has one) and it's rusty. Integral rust on any car makes it a pos.

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    Sold it in September. The guy really likes the car, so I'm trying to get it fixed. I don't have $4500 to refund for the car, so that's last ditch effort. Another option is a white 1987-1993 hatchback that has a 4 cylinder and no rust, then go on a week-long thrash to make a frankenstein. That's...

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    It's a delicate issue, really. We have a LOT of work done at the shop that the safety was done at. If we decide to let them sink for missing the rust, we need to find another shop that does everything they do, at the price they do. It's not a warranty; I'd take the hit and buy the car back and...

    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    The new owner of my 5.0 called today and said he found that the rear frame rails are rotted out. This is very bad for me, because either the shop that does my safeties goes down, or I have to buy my car back. I don't want either to happen. I need replacement rear frame rails. Any help would be...

    New Car

    The reason why it was considered a flop is because they made it a 4 door. Power isn't what it should be, either. Making an automatic version was another mistake (that's where the chick part comes in). Drive it year round. I've seen more than a few RX-8s booting around in the salt around here...

    Ford is going over the edge.

    I would make the calendar anyway, but not put any Ford copyrighted names on it. They have no grounds for a lawsuit at all.
