When it gets that hot even if the cars are dirty inside interior and outside on body no way it stays like that.. gotta stay cool.

i dont think you understand, there is nothing inside except wiring, so the added heat from the engine combined with the sun the inside car temps are rising past 150, hence why there has been no progress on the car

Throw enough boost at it and any type of piston will fail.. Be it 89 or 93.

I'd rather own a clean red interior over a trashed black interior anyday
Click to expand...

AMEN... I hated the red interior, until I got my white on red 91 LX. But being that it is so clean, I actually like it now & I plan on doing custom Recaro seats in red & black eventually.... I will be trying to keep as much of the red as possible, but with a red & black 2 tone theme....


To the OP... Congrats on the new fox...
