Mod Fox in motion update

[ModFoxMustangs]

Here are some pieces that might make life easier for some, depending on their setup. The Steeda brackets are a bit pricey, but they are sweet to use.

If you plan on autocross or open track, you might want to take the time to reinforce that Fox bracket.

If you need to move the sway bar forward, MM makes a kit for both the SN95 and Fox.

I'm not familiar enough with AJE products to tell you what they have that will do these things, but since they are a site sponsor, you consider giving them a call.

perfect stuff for our FAQ..

Nice Build

There is a performance shop in Corona called Johnny Lightning, they fixed the issue and was very reasonable in price....nice guy to deal with as well. His name is John....

Great build. Now that your build is complete Is there any advice you would give someone who is contemplating this swap?

 

[fstfrd]

Thanx bd93cobra, my advice would be #1 take your time, don't use an SN95 rear axle on a fox, cause anything bigger than a 275 tire, just will not fit without serious rubbing issues, and most important of all double check your work, or have a second set of eyes follow your work so no issues arise later. Other than that, the swap for me was fairly easy & straight fwd. I've put almost 3k miles on the car in 4 months, and my only issues have been, rear tire rubbing issues, with 285 out back, and my trans getting hot due to the exhaust pipes running near the trans....other than that I've just been burning a lot of gas and kickin chevy azz !

What was it that the shop found wrong and what was done to correct it? Sounds like the same issue I have going on with my car.

Who did you get to fix your PATS issue? I am getting close to starting mine and know I'm going to be facing this issue.

I just met up with my tuner and a SCT chip. he burned me a start up tune and turned off pats

 

[fstfrd]

Sorry for the late response, but he located a ground near the ecu that wasn't connected, and two pigtails that were switched with an identical harness near the abs unit.

 

[Notch50]

I'm going to check my grounds, I'm pretty sure my problem is a ground. I had it running in the past, then it just got harder and harder to start until it wouldn't start at all

Nice build!

 

[shcctx]

She's running great. ..! I still need to go get it smogged & registered so I can put some miles on the new clutch. But other than that I'm gonna start this weekend on figuring out the front sway bar issue & how to mount the Fox one up. Another issue, is that I assumed that running anything bigger than a 255 up front would be a rubbing issue, and it's not, but I don't like how the front tires look stretched and the rim is protruding. ... Minor issue though ! I'm just glad the car is done just in time for summer cruising.
