finally have the money

drft_wannabe · 08-23-2006, 07:00 PM

alright everyone, ive been on the boards for about a year now, i pop in and out pretty frequently just reading up on the local shit, and what people are doing to their cars. i finally have enough money to start a project, figures i now live in new hampshire. ive been thinking about cars to start with and i know these threads are hated, but ive found so many nice fox body mustangs for real cheap. does anyone think this would be a fun first project for a drift car? i still have the 240sx, miata, and rx7 in the back of my mind, but up here the mustang is the most plentiful and easiest to obtain parts. ive never seen a foxbody drift so i just wanted to see if you guys think it would be a good choice.

tell me what you think. thanks a bunch guys.

i'm not a fan of the mustang.

2nd gen rx7 or 240sx is a great choice...

my 2 cents

ilida · 08-23-2006, 07:08 PM

If you like it, do it.
Don't mind what others think. :]

thanks man, i really am just looking for opinions. all the sport import cars are pretty expensive up here compared to florida so im just trying to find the best route, if the more expensive way really is the better way, then ill take it.

do a foxbody parts are everywhere, maintenance parts are fuckin cheap, and the platform has been around forever so you can buy all sorts of cool ass suspension parts. go buy a mustangs and fast fords magazine and look in there.

im sure that can be fixed with the right amount of money

thats awesome though man, keep me informed on how things go!

mikespeed95 · 08-23-2006, 07:59 PM

the fox platform does have a huge aftermarket

parts are easy to find

but but but but

it will never be as easy to drift as a 240. the steering on the mustang just doesnt feel right, no matter how many different ones i drive. that is 1st hand experience. but if you want to do it do it.
