Default My little cheap beater fox

Well its nothing special, but being a broke college student, its a solid start. ive got big plans for it, and some of them may actually happen.

SPECS:
87 5.0 5spd LX Hatch
Mass air converted
Typhoon intake
Mac Shorties
2.5" exhaust and Flowmasters
Tremmec 3550
Pro 5.0 short shifter
Unknown clutch, but its rather stiff King Cobra spec 2 maybe, starting to slip anyway
3.73's in the rear.
Porno red interior.

madmatt, are you on carolinarides.com? if not you should be, quiet a few guys from the columbia area. do ya'll have a place to chill in lex. besides food lion? ill be home from clemson november 5-7, but it looks like i may be putting a clutch in my car, and helping a friend do a clutch and flywheel in his LS1 car.

Plans are to do suspension/brakes first since im at college need a dead reliable DD. but a cam and other bolt ons are very possible. ide like to build a motor for it over the summer, but that will depend on where life takes me over the next few months

Yea, Im on Carolina Rides. I dont really hang out with those guys, but as far as I know, they dont hang out at Food Lion anymore. They had moved to the parking lot in Harbison by sonic, but it seems the cops always run them off. Youll have to check with some of the others as they know better than I do. Have fun changing the clutch If you guys need a hand, let me know, those transmissions are heavy suckers.
