    I need encouragement

    these are fun cars, a little body work and paint goes a long way. if your not confident doing the work yourself, just save your pennies and eat at mcdonalds for a few months and pay someone to redo the trim and paint. then save again and get someone to redo your interior, or keep your eye out...

    wont start, check oil light question.

    good tips jrichker, i think its that clutch start switch. its been staring fine like nothing ever happened so i dunno. i think i might just replace the switch to be on the safe side. or atleast carry it with me.

    is it the switch itself thats bad or how its adjusted? its been fine since then, its started multiple times. new switch is 35 bucks, is it worth it to replace it? ive had worse luck with advance auto :poo: parts than oem stuff.

    I just don't get it.

    i agree completley, i love putting my car on a lift, its starting to look like a racecar under there. once a year or so, i too get under there with sandpaper, and sand things down, wipe them off, and spray stuff in semi flat. i know im pulling the motor one day, so i know its a waste to pull...

    Just bought my first Foxbody, I think I screwed up big time.

    does it want to bog down in lower gears at low rpms? 4th to 5th is a big gap, i usually wait till 50 to shift to 5th because if i shift to 5th at 40, my rpms are just above 1000, and they should be in cruising speed above 1500. is it more of a vibration or a missing stuttering causing a vibration

    really starting to think my car is twisted. how to check for car being straight?

    What's the best way to get subframes off just grind them off? I was thinking about upgrading to mm full lenth anyways I have reg length griggs ones in there now. The control arms are maximum motorsports extreme duty adjustable lca's with the sway bar mount. I checked them over good before...

    Subframe connectors were installed like they should have been with the car on its wheels on a drive on lift. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

    really starting to think my car is twisted. how to check for car being straight?

    i know it sounds like the accident i had has caused it, but it was doing this before that, and just as bad. it was probably the previous owner or just old age. that concrete was poured like a month ago, its level, the tire psi is all equal, the adjustable lca's are even, theres nothing inside...

    really starting to think my car is twisted. how to check for car being straight?

    Just gonna start setting aside money for a bodyshop to go through this car and fix it, it is twisted I can see it. I think the back half is sagged to the driver side and the subframe connectors froze it there. I got all the springs and iso's all straight and it sits a half inch higher in the...

    Will be a relatively cheap fix no matter what it is, you'll invest a little more than the cost of the car but it will be worth it in the end Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
