Feels great, when you beat a Chevy, or
A nice raceweekend, and my Fox runs fine. After racing sunday, I changed my tires, and drove back home, 366Miles, seven houers.
" Driven to race " I think that is why we have cars, or ?

The Nova guy, redlighted, so did I, but he more than me.


Mine to the left, T.Amundsen

sweet car! looks really clean and i like the look! btw how tall are those rear tires and and you running stock suspension, or at least replacment suspension parts ( not back halved)

i am running aftermarket arms and the cars suspension geometry is the same a stock and i am wondering how tall of a tire i can fit under the, my current street tires are 27s and they fit, my track tires are 26 and i need a taller tire due to almost hitting the rev limiter at the traps, i am wondering if i can fit a 28 easily on my car

Thanks.

Foxfan88, Thanks. Well, Its STEEDA lower alu weightjackers, and STEEDA alu tubular upper Control arms. I use airbags inside my rear springs, and this combo works fine.
I just lift the car 1.5",using the jacker adj. for running my 28inch Racemaster DOT musclecar tires (275/60-15).,I use approx 13psi left side, and 23 psi right side in my springairbags. Strange 10way adj struts and shocks. I rolled my fenders a little, and just some small hammering at the inside chassi.
I have 245/50-16 as street tires, and just lowered the car again for normal street driving. Also have a set of 275/50-15 Racemasters for street and strip.

Good luck, hope you find the right combo for your setup

ps, whats your eight mile numbers ?

Thanks, yes, Its a car without any rust, and Its nearly stock looking. Like the feeling of having a kind of sleeper
I have used hundreds of hours, taking care of my little Fox.
Really like this car, has been mine since 1999.

so i am assuming your suspension keeps the samer dimensions as stock? my wheels i drag with has less BS so i am clear width wise, i am clear height wise, i am just worried about the front to back clearence.

i also have aftermarket upper and lower arms, drag springs and shocks and i run flipped quads

my 1/8 mile times are

1.64 60'
7.7@ 87 mph

Yes, Its the same dimensions as stock, same length, upper and lower. I have checkd my chassi if there is any marks from the tires, but no marks so far.
You got a cool car by the way,

Nice runs, a little faster than what I ran the other day, but our 86 looks similar only Blue and non TTop.

(not it's best pass, into a headwind)
1.625
7.710 @ 87.93
