Bought several magazines in Florida, including Hemmings, and there does not appear to be any cheap Foxes any more. Saw 6 on the road in 3 weeks 2 in good condition with custom colours, 2 nice original colours, one tired 2.3 and one that could barely drag itself along the road. My wife even said it...

Could anyone tell me, in PSI what fuel pressure their engine is running at on tickover, Ive got a small guage on the fuel line just above the passenger side rocker cover, which im assuming is a standard thing. Ive got a problem with the car stalling when approaching traffic lights, slowing...
Our SVO has been playing up by spluttering now and again but the other day it started up and then died....wouldn't start after that. I have just fitted a brand new high pressure fuel pump as there was very little pressure in the system and it did start and run for a few seconds (twice) and then...

I recently bought this. And I need to put it on this. It looks quite straight forward, but am I just kidding myself? I am assuming that I can drill out the spot welds around the edge of the roof skin and the weld that is lead loaded on the D post. Then plug weld it onto my car once I...

Hi stripping a 95 v6 will have a 5 stud disc brake conversion for fox all you will need is 5 stud half shafts please let me no £150 Chris
Seeing as the K member is out of the car so as we can weld up the chassis rails, we may as well think about one of these tubular K members, lower arms and a coil over conversion kit with some new struts. Saving some weight will help on the strip as well..... :D I've posted for advice on the US...
