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

^What he said

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!

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..

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

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

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

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

ParkerFM01

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.

WTF dude. even that i think the ford v8's got incredible potential you did a nice job on the musvette

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.

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.
