    Belt length and water pump concern

    Let me start this off with my main concern, my coolant system is leaking from the timing chain on the right side and I can see a bolt is missing, so I wonder if thats because its possibly stripped out or not, anyways I recently changed the heater core and still dont have any heat, so yesterday I...

    The official "How many miles does your Fox have?" thread...

    Bought my car 3 months ago and supposedly had 168,000 on it, the cluster was changed to 140 speedo. I dont care it drives good, I've probably put 5,000 miles on it already.

    What kind of MPG on your Fox?

    Yeah I use my Garmin to calculate my mileage, I do the same I divide by how many gallons it takes to fill my tank back up. My speedometer is is slow by like 3 or 4 mph. I guess I need to count teeth on my gears to figure out if I still have 2.73's. But yeah 17 mpg looks to be the best I could...

    What kind of MPG on your Fox?

    What gives, why is there such a large gap here? I've done a complete tune up and feel like my car is running as efficient as a v8 car can drive, I know I stomp it frequently but I dont understand a 10 mpg difference.

    How do you fund your projects? especially if married?

    well my wife has a $420 a month car payment which should be leverage enough for me who doesnt have a car payment to get $400 a month towards my car but that doesnt work that way. I've been married for a little while before I got my car so I cant really use that excuse.

    What part of richmond you live in? I lived there a few years ago right across from the short pump mall. The place where you took your pictures looks familiar. Nice build I cant wait to start on the things you have done.

    Can you plug dipstick hole?

    Think with your dipstick jimmy! Yeah I would think that a wooden dowel would work or even try to find a rubber plug, I dont remember but is there a gromet or a gasket that the dipstick slides into?

    How do you fund your projects? especially if married?

    I work 50-60+ a week depending on whats going on, but my pay doesnt change, thats one plus of being military..... Once my wife moves back out here to cali and she finds a job I'm going to set forth a strict $200 a month allowance for each of us which some of that will go towards getting my...

    How do you fund your projects? especially if married?

    I guess at the end of the day do I really need a 347? I can do little by little with 200 a month and get my car pretty nice, but if the engine ever goes I'll be like come on baby its only a couple hundred more to go with the stroker lol....... she'll probably tell me to sell the car then...

    removing gt kit for lx bumpers?

    I think your right, it would be easier and would look really good. I hate that my exhaust pipes are turned down behind the rear bumper atleast with the cobra I could have some tips, I think it changes the sound drastically rather bouncing off the ground. And I can make money back from selling...

    How do you fund your projects? especially if married?

    I agree on forgiveness than permission..... We've been married for a little while and from day one we've had a joint checking with my money and her money, but its always been our money. I remember back in the day when I had my diesel truck I would have to BS her to get stuff, but whenever she...

    First time Advancing Timing!

    stupid california only has 91 as they're highest octane at most gas stations..... I ran 91 in my last tank and I feel like I'm getting better mileage but then again I havent been romping as much as usual.

    removing gt kit for lx bumpers?

    I've read up on it and I know there will be holes in the body to be filled. My question is this though, if I remove the GT kit which is all in excellent shape whats the odds of me being able to sell or trade the bumpers and molding for lx bumpers and all the stuff required? I like the gt...

    COMPLETE body swap, Vert to Coupe, feasable?

    I guess part of the reason "unmolested" means nothing to me because I molest the **** out of my car.... You'd be better cutting off the roof from the coupe and welding it on the vert.... that was a joke, dont do it sell your car and find a clean lx hatch.

    How do you fund your projects? especially if married?

    I'm just curious as to what everyone does to be able to fund their projects and make their cars as bad ass as they are. Obviously if your into child trafficking or murder for hire dont post that. I know being married is also a big impact on funding. I'm going to be lucky to get $200 a month...
