      That’s not fully true cheap tools don’t use High-grade hardened tool steel so they’re more prone to break or stripping that’s why high-quality tools last longer

    That fan motor in the core is really cool. As well as making the whole package thinner, the radiator can act as a heat sink for the fan motor to keep it cool too.

    I have a suggestion for you regarding the stock style fox brakes. Update the calipers bushings to stainless steel ones. Huge performance difference for little money. It prevents the calipers from floating and twisting when using the brakes hard

    What happened to the Groucho Marks look ? HAHA !! I like that little Fox Body ! And I'm a Chevy guy ! Coming along great . Harbor Freight has those swivel joints for impact use. I've had some for a while and they work fine . The ones you were using were for hand tools. General rule ; if its chrome plated its not for impact use . That goes for extensions , sockets and swivels . Stay safe !

    my brother had a fox body like yours years ago, it was lowered on just springs, but had a bunch of suspension upgrades, i always remember how nimble it was, almost squirrely but so much fun to Drive!
    Also, something to think about. i dont know if your mustang does this, but mine did (2001gt) the ECU needs to see a certain temp before it takes the engine out of warm up mode. if its a mechanical distributor i dont think it does this. but something to look for! you can apparently tune it lower or to whatever

    • @Thecraig909

    • @Novagunner
      @Novagunner 2 года назад

      Yes my mustang seems to like 200f on the dot to operate. Which I think the stock thermostat opens at 205, but in the summer I put a 190f thermostat in.
      That's a slick looking fan too! I upgraded mine over stock to an all aluminum like yours, but the integrated fan with the rpm control? That's super nice! Can't wait for more vids!
