    Fox What's your favorite appearance mod

    I really like the Maximum Motorsports strut tower brace. I like the styling of it and I think it always makes an engine bay look mean.

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    I figured it out. They were there (sort of). I found this picture of the harness on eBay. I knew for certain that I didn’t have 3 connectors coming out of the grommet. When you get in real close, you can see the little nubs that someone cut the vss wires down to. They are green and orange. I...

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    I can telll you with 100% certainty that it is still not in that location. I had the entire engine bay replaced on my car and I’ve been putting everything back together. Even before me, the car was majorly modified (poorly in a lot of places.) I’m hoping the wires were just tucked away and I...

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    I'll give it another look when I get home today. I'd be happy to report back that I just missed it.

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    @JKWilson61 I have a VSS on the trans, but I do not have an electrical connection to it. I only had the mechanical connection via the speedometer cable. I think I need to wire a + and - wire from a VSS pigtail and run it to pins #3 and #6 on the computer. That is what should have been done...

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    So then I do need to wire in the pigtail? Otherwise the car doesn't know how fast its moving if it doesn't have the cable, right?. From what i've read about a mass air conversion, wiring up the VSS to the trans is optional-ish, meaning that you should do it but don't really have to. I've read...

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    Awesome, thank you for the feedback. So the speedometer cable goes bye bye, and the DD supplied plug goes into the speed sensor. If there is no signal from the speed sensor plugged into the transmission, where does the vehicle get the speed signal from? Otherwise, how does it know how fast it...

    Electrical Dakota Digital Gauges and VSS in a mass air converted car

    Hey guys. I installed my Dakota Digital dash cluster, but I want to make sure my thinking is correct on this. My car is an '88 5-speed GT that had factory cruise control (so it has VSS) but it was factory speed density (no VSS pigtail to transmission). When I got the car, it was converted to...

    Electrical Running relays and the contour fan

    Thanks for your reply. I was not aware that the Contour fans ran through 70A relays from the factory. I'm at work now, but I want to take a look at the information that you posted and all of the pictures. I'll follow up if I have any questions.

    Electrical Running relays and the contour fan

    Thank you for the feedback. My reasoning behind the relays were so that it would not run when the car is off. My goal was to have the fans run through the relays that are triggered by key-on power. I'm concerned with the fans draining the battery when the car is not in use. If I did not...

    Electrical Running relays and the contour fan

    Hey guys, This topic has been covered a lot in many different ways, but I didn’t see a concrete model that matches mine and I would also like feedback from people who know more than me, so I wanted to ask for insight on my “design.” I’m wiring my contour fans to a Derale PWM controller. I...

    Fox body mods- least favorite popular mod and guilty pleasure

    Least favorite: has to be the GT bumper with exhaust holes cut in it. Guilty pleasure: Cobra R 2000 hood with the louvers. It’s far and away my favorite hood. I don’t see a lot of them, which makes me like it more.

    Cannot Find Remanufactured Front Calipers

    Thanks guys. I did try a few random zip codes out of the blue, but maybe I just didn’t pick a winner. I’ll try going into a store and seeing if they can get them for me.

    Cannot Find Remanufactured Front Calipers

    Hey guys, I am in the process of rebuilding my '88 t-top car. I wanted to replace the front brake rotors with remanned ones from Rock Auto or some other parts warehouse. I am still 4 lug, and I have an '88 Turbo coupe rear with factory rear discs and 3.55s ready to go in, so I am going to...

    Progress Thread Finally got my first Fox Body - 1988 GT

    I recently purchased a remanned cobra booster (54-73155) from AutoZone. I've read a lot of stories on how their pars can be junk sometimes, but i'm very happy with what I received. It had the nuts for the master cylinder studs included with it, as well as the nuts for the firewall. It was...

    Brakes Foxbody SN95 Booster install Question

    Thank you for your replies guys. I do not have a vacuum pump, but I will see if I can get a hold of one and give what you suggested a shot. 90sickfox, I know how you feel with this. I have read a lot on this install before going into it, as I know how much of a pain it is. I tried getting a...

    Brakes Foxbody SN95 Booster install Question

    Hey guys, I’ve read just about everything out here on the SN95 booster install on a Fox. I have an 88 that’s had the whole front end replaced from what I believe was an aero-front year car. I’ve shortened the studs, elongated the holes, and I’ve spent plenty of time trying to wiggle this thing...

    Fox rear coil-over vs. traditional spring opinions

    Yes, they are Hypercoil springs with yellow bilstein struts. I'll keep an eye out on ebay, thanks for that. I'm in Southern New Jersey, so our roads get pretty chewed up from salt trucks and the weather. I"d have to research it more, but i'd probably target somewhere in the 275-300 range...

    Fox rear coil-over vs. traditional spring opinions

    Thank you for the replies, guys. It sounds like traditional springs are the way to go. The one downside to the front coil overs i picked up, is that I don't know the spring rate of the springs. I found where it would be on the spring, but what was etched on there has rubbed off. I've called...

    Fox rear coil-over vs. traditional spring opinions

    Hey guys, I've tried to go through various threads looking for opinions about rear coil-overs vs. traditional springs, but I didn't get my exact answer, so I wanted to post. I picked up a set of used Bilstein struts with the Maximum Motorsports coil-over kit on them for $75. They are in great...
