if you love something set it free... my fox body returned to me.

this is a great start, thank you. and thanks for all the warm welcomes. you guys are quick!

there seems to be more guys autcrossing mustangs than taking them to the track. maybe theres more tracks around me than other people.

my intention is to make a "delivery car" for my shop. i may not do a ton of deliveries in it, but it may work as a marketing attempt and allow me to write some of it off. really i want to make a track car out of it, specifically a sub 2 minute car at buttonwillow, while keeping the engine as is and see how long it will live. i have no idea if thats attainable but it will be fun to figure it out. it seems to have basic hci mods and a giant radiator and that is perfect for now.

in the early 2000s the fox body had to be the bang for buck king. i ended up in mine because my dad sold it to me. i was heavily into the 80-90s japanese cars. theyre also great, and i bought 4 240sxs for a combined 3500 dollars, but they have since become completely absurd to buy.

the fox body seems to have been usurped by the sn95 as the car kids and budget minded people should be buying. people seem to be figuring it out though. if fox bodies or sn95s were japanese theyd be going for a bajillion dollars. this is a great platform and im happy to have stumbled into it twice.

i appreciate all of the feedback. im gonna start by hitting a track day and assess how the car handles. i will get a set of tires before then and i am debating whether or not i should put them on the 17 inch cobra replicas that are on the car or if i should look for a better 16 inch wheel. in my experience replicas havent been very good and i dont see any reason to go 17 over 16 inch wheels.

speaking of wheels and tires, the car already understeers and i dont see any reason to get a wider tire in the rear but i am open to suggestions. do any of you know the max width for your front tire on a stock car? i will look around a bit.
