	Members - Boostio, Driftphantom, and Nexion. Summary - Three car enthusiasts and friends based in Texas, USA, have decided to create a website where they can post about their cars, projects, and life in general. To set the ball rolling; A post from one of the three moderators... "Hey! Thanks for checking out our website, we haven't had the chance to post anything yet, as we still need to finalise some coding. However, you can expect some really cool content in the next few days, maybe even hours. Cheers!" ~Boostio

	So, the three of us came up with a challenge... Dubbed 'Battle of The Foxes', the idea is we toss a bunch of build categories into a hat, and randomly select one. Whatever category we get, is the type of Foxbody Mustang we have to build. These are the results of the draw. Boostio - Drag Driftphantom - Circuit Nexion - Drift Knowing this, I set out to find a clean Foxbody, preferably a rolling shell. Which, is sorta what I found. Pictured in the title photo is my Teal Metallic '93 Cobra, which aside from being in above-average shape, has a few extras... -SR Performance front and rear swaybars -18" Weld S77 wheels -Hoosier street radial tires -No rust Though, the car does have a few negatives aswell... -The stock T-50 transmission is destroyed (Unlikely it was going to be used, even if it was in working condition) -Engine = M.I.A. -Shocks on all four corners are F.U.B.A.R. -It was what seem like 18,000mm spacers Anyways, I'm going to log off for a bit while I track down a U-Haul to get this back to my shop, and, I'll let either Nexion or Driftphantom post next... Ciao! This post was edited by Boostio (2017-09-01 01:15, ago)

	On the Circuit, you need speed AND agility in order to dominate.. and the foxbody is the perfect chassis for the Track. This 91 GT is no exception, And this one I found out of state in a little place called Valo City. As I said this is a 1991 Mustang GT 5.0, 1 of only 2 trims offered that year. Unlike the Cobra our friend Boostio found (lucky bastard), this 225HP fastback was found in relatively good nick. It has recently be resprayed its OEM Twighlight Blue, beautiful deep metallic color. Some key features of this car include: - 4.9L Windsor V8 - E7TE heads and forged aluminum pistons with valve reliefs (as of 1987) - 225 hp (168 kW) and 300 ft·lbf (410 N·m) of torque. - Tremec T5 manual Transmission (made of glass) - Front disk, rear Drum brakes Overall the car has alot of miles on the clock (213,567mi) so pretty much everything is in need of a refresh. Stay tuned to see what she becomes.. This post was edited by Driftphantom (2017-08-18 04:21, ago)

	8/22/17- More Beef Project track 91 is in full swing, and is already rocking some major updates: The first round of upgrades cam in the form of suspension. More specifically, a Heidts Pro G Independent Rear suspenion kit. This Converts the live axle in the rear to Independent, allowing more for adjustible setup and better weight transfer while in the corners. The car also now sits on BC Racing coilovers, giving it that mean stance. Along with IRS, the rear drums were converted over to disks, more specifically a ford GT500 brake kit front and rear. Now for some outside love. The car recieved a more aerodynamic front bumper made by Outlaw and a cut rear bumper. The arches were cut out and Bolt on fenders were added to fit the 17x10 fifteen52 Outlaw003 wheels! That is all for now, I will keep you updated as more things get added. Next should be fitting a cage and reducing the weight

	8/23/2017 Sorry for the lack of post, recently a friend of mine passed away due to cancer. He was a good man, and a hard working one at that, and with that being said this was his mustang foxbody. He had plans for it but now that he's gone i didn't get the chance to ask him what those plans were, But i do know he was into drifting so that is what im guessing his plan was. Anyway I've known since i was 6yrs old and have talked and hung out with him everyday i could, and it turns out he left this car for me in his will. So in his honor I've decided to finish his build in his memory. Its a bone stock and pretty rough dont let the Pictures fool you the interior is pretty bad and need a shit ton of work. The left window doesn't work so its stuck open. The Right taillight is also out, and also the tac is kinda messed up im sure there's more issues but i havint looked. Ill let you guys know the details after the funeral. Til Then. R.I.P, Evan This post was edited by Nexion (2017-08-23 10:21, ago)

	Condolences for your friend. Good luck turning his legacy on the foxbody

	Wait, did something similar happen in real life or not?

ParkerFM01 Members Posts: 866 Location: Canada Occupation: pizza man Age: 22 V$: h	#16 2017-08-25 04:28
	24/08/2017 - Wait, what? So uh, yeah, the Cobra now has an engine. More specifically, an LS3 (and 6speed manual transmission) out of an '09 Corvette. With the help of a BRP Hot Rods conversion kit, the engine and transmission swap was a piece of cake. I still have to finish up the wiring, but I might be good to fire it up, and maybe drive it in a few hours provided there aren't any hidden issues with the car. Doubtful, though, as I gave this car a very thorough inspection when I bought it. This post was edited by Boostio (2017-09-01 01:08, ago)

	8/29/17- Going on a diet What's up guys, Project Circut Stang is back and she is shedding a few pounds As you can see, we have gone through and compeletly gutted the rear of the car. Even the soundproofing material had to go! The front of the car saw some weight reduction as well as the removal of all the AC equipment. Overll, the car has lost a total of 350LBs. Not bad for a 91 boat. A 6 point roll cage was installed to increase rigidity. Here is another picture of the interior, keep you guys posted later!

	Heyo, im not actually dead ive moved over to the state of Texas with the bois at Three Star Garage. I still have the s14 but i have a current project that im working on, its a 1998 Toyota MR2 with a k24a1 swap. A furious 160 Crank HP but super low compression from the factory which means boost soon. Other than that its stock besides xxrs i guess haha. Im deciding weather to sleeve the block or run stock block till it blows. Hopefully when its done i can put some work in on the fox bodys. But ill try to update this alot with the progress.

ParkerFM01 Members Posts: 866 Location: Canada Occupation: pizza man Age: 22 V$: h	#20 2017-08-30 01:36
	29/08/2017 - We're getting there... So, the car ran fine with the street radials and stock LS3, but i figured the car could use a little bit more... With a little bit of magic, I found and fitted a giant Edelbrock supercharger, complete with an Edlebrock intake manifold, Demon carburetor, all that good stuff. Of course, along with some supporting mods like a new Holley fuel pump, braided lines, all that good stuff. I've some internal work to the engine, headstuds, main bearings, valve springs, etecetra... Just basic stuff for making an LS3 not explode. My butt dyno says the car's making somewhere around 750 horsepower, but I'll let the actual dyno confirm or deny that... Should be getting it dyno'd in a day or so. Another new thing is I a set of Weld S71B rear drag wheels, with some Phoenix drag slicks. I also have a set of runners for the front, but obviously they aren't installed at the moment. If you couldn't tell, the unpainted parts are now painted. Stay tuned, as some big stuff is coming soon.

	8/29/17 Good Job Everyone really loving you're builds. As for the Evan Drfit FoxBody it's slowly progressing I recently picked up some Fifteen52 Tarmac's R34's, and some and some Fifteens f40's. 17's front and rear. I Also picked up some Endless Brake pads. There's spacers on the rear but i dont remember of the top of my head just know the pictures dont do it justice, and at the moment im trying to decide on the color for the wrap I but i think i have a idea in mind and i think you guys will Enjoy it. Also i picked up a daily and i think you'll enjoy that as well. So Get ready for that.

	Hello, this Rinkk. *DUSTER BOYSare here. I got a 71' Plymouth Duster 340 in "Sno White", or what is left of it rahter. It makes fuck-all horsepower for a 340, it has enough blow-by to kill a horse. it runs like complete shit with that Carter 4 barrell that needs a rebuild A.S.A.P. I got a Holley chilling in the shop though. The rust is just surface so calm your tits, I got this shit for 1500V$, it sat in a garage for at least 20 years, in fact, it's last registration was July of 1988. The engine isn't original, it's a original 340 duster but the engine's been swapped sometime in the 70's, considering the odo has "1243" miles, I'm guessing it turned over at least once, if not more, so this thing got driven. From what the owner told me, the car was his grandpa's and he died in 1990, so I'm guessing he just left it in the yard. Luckly it's Texas, and the car was in the desert, so it's not actually rusted. That hot 340 and it's oil leaks. And that THICC* ass Four on the floor, interior is clean as hell, just needed a clean-up. First things I'ma do, is a 200 shot and a fatter carb.

	@Rinkk: Who the fuck are you?--If your shit turns out to be fire, you can stay. @JdmSly: Welcome! 30/08/2017 - Should have done this a while ago... Well, since the Cobra clearly isn't getting plates anytime soon, I picked up this 2012 Nissan 370Z Touring as a daily driver. It doesn't have anything done to it apart from the BC Racing BR Coilovers and 19" AVS Model F7 wheels. Though, being my daily driver I may raise it up slightly, and opt for a smaller wheel and thicker tire combination. I dunno, we'll see what happens. Apart from that, I don't have much to say. Expect some more from the 370Z and Cobra soon...

JF1 Members Posts: 1202 Location: Europe Occupation: Unmuting trial Age: V$: J+K=£V	#27 2017-08-31 07:58
	Looks nice.

ParkerFM01 Members Posts: 866 Location: Canada Occupation: pizza man Age: 22 V$: h	#28 2017-09-01 01:32
	@Jfernando1: Thanks! 31/08/2017 - It's time Yesterday, we dyno'd the car... It makes 827 wheel horsepower. I'm speechless, this car is fucking insane. This morning we finished up the rollcage, racing seats, harnesses, fuel cell, disabling the air bags, all that good stuff. Now it's time to make the first pass at the drag strip. Creeping the car up to the tree was nerve-wracking; 'This is it', I thought to myself. Well, it wasn't quite 'it', since I missed second and ended up with a quarter mile time of 11.110. That's still quick, but the Cobra can go faster. I know it can. Unfortunately that was all I had time for that day, as I needed to be home by 3:30 to sign for a package. I promise I didn't order anything for the 370Z already.

	You know i had to pull up on this hoe when she popped up on the local face book group. An amazing 1991 Nissan 240sx with an original 313,402 miles on the chassis its salvage title but who cares its a 240 am i rite? I checked the car fax its had 8 Owners and been to more states than i have been, and to include its been stolen once. It has a box C title meaning that the mileage on the cluster isnt real so who actually knows what this car has had done to it. All i know is that its got full interior thanks to the last owner, along with the front end its been fixed and straightened out. Fake watanabes, bald tires, a ka24de that has the block from a nissan frontier and the head from a s14 with some nice oil burning properties. Over all this thing is the cleanest turd 240 ive ever seen i mean its mostly one color and lets not forget its welded diff and its constant gear grind in 3rd. But over all of that it drives straight so i cant argue, im just happy to start drifting again!

JF1 Members Posts: 1202 Location: Europe Occupation: Unmuting trial Age: V$: J+K=£V	#31 2017-09-01 07:51
	Cool 240. It's good in the current colour. Though those fake Watanabes are very thin.

	Nice progress on the Cobra so far but you can make it way faster! And that 240 looks pretty good for its mileage.

	So i got some news on the mr2 which im now naming the MRSPOOL, for obvious reasons. The k24 thats currently in the car has recently recived a ebay turbo kit treatment. Stock block and head for now but its on a 10psi wastegate spring and a rep gt35r ebay turbo, Ebay intercooler obviously, stock injectors but not for long i have ID1000s coming in the mail soon. Im taking it to a local shop near by to get a tune done, i do have kpro so thats a start. I hope the rest of the v8 boys in Three Star are ready for the mrspool. Heres a sneak peak right now.

	03/09/2017 - The Good, The Bad, and The Okay Good news! The Cobra now has the front-end from one of my buddy's old Street/Strip cars, a swell as a custom-fab rear-exit exhaust system, and lexan windshields. ... Bad news! The LS3 took a fat L and developed a nasty case of valve-tick and blow-by. I guess it's time to either rebuild this engine, or a get a new one. As for the 370Z, it's kinda in limbo right now as nothing is really being done to it. I have some parts that I may or may not install, we'll see. I have a deal in the works but if that falls through, I might just sell the car, who knows.

	9/5/2017 Stock Z32 i guess the only thing that's not is the Rims which are cracking and are really small. 102,054 Miles on the car and only 3 prev owner's the under chassis is a bit "Rough" to say the least. But i mean i got for a steal. Only 4.3k and and it run great, but enough about that time to get to the real thing. So the "Evan Drift FoxBody" Has had some changes. The Wheels have been painted Frost White, and the car has been wrapped midnight purple. I thru in a old nardi wheel i had laying around and is doing its job at the moment. We also finally pulled the engine and trying to figure out what to drop in it. Since my bud Boost already has the LS i'll find something new. That's it for now i dont have much going on so ill probs start on my Z32 but i promise the Evan's Fox will be amazing.

	@Nexion: Both cars are looking sick. As for me, I ended up trading the 370Z for something... You could probably do a bit of digging and figure it out, but regardless I'm not going to reveal it quite yet. Foxbody hasn't changed much since any of you last saw it.
