Ian fidance is the definition of fox body

Bisexual
@@Binkusbigday Ian goes both ways, Men and Boys.
Hell yeah, dude
“A Fox Body that was actually finished” laughing so hard at how sad and true that is
true that
Mine is still a work in progress after a year of ownership 😂😂

This fusion of RCR and the NY comedy scene is so unexpected yet so welcomed
Makes sense since he’s Philly Adjacent
I am loving how much more official the Adam Friedland Show - Regular Car connection is becoming.
adam friedland to regular car pipeline
what episode do they first bring up regular cars? I'm a fan of both shows had no idea they were friends
we were on TAFS
@@riskyb250 back on CT Nick mentioned them a couple times over the years. Mr Regular has made CT references over the years too. They were on TAFS just a couple months back
@@RegularCars great ep. I also heard Mr Samuyil Redacted mention y'all recently too. It's awesome
Seeing Ian Fidance in a RCR was such a violent jumpscare
Lost it at “NOTHING UNDERNEATH IT!” 😂
Synthol
Same 🤣
Ford is still doing that steering wheel switcheroo. Our giant Transit 250 had the same steering wheel as a Fiesta. It was like driving a pirate ship with a Beyblade Spinner. Oh, and Roman’s rapping at the end sounds like Parappa the Rappa.
HAHA
Parappa the Rappa was the best game ever.
The E series has them now too.
Jorden knows more about cars than Ian. Great episode!
Jorden is welcome on RCR anytime she wants!
@@RegularCars 8th Gen Civic SI WHEN? 👀
Invite Nick Mullen on!
@@ryanwood6006 Nick and RCR together would cause Christopher Lambert to have a heart attack
@@ryanwood6006 NOOO FELLOW CUMTOWN VIEWER OHHHH MY GOD
The crossover we all wanted and never knew. Now get Adam and Nick on RCR.
My dad had a fox body project growing up, I swear almost every bolt on he put on that car came out of a summit catalog, it was Maroon and every panel (and the seatbelts) were taken out of that car, he beat that thing out on the track like it owed him money. Still miss that little 5.0 deathtrap
I love how you accurately sang the difference between the bass lines in under pressure and ice ice
that was too funny 😂
Ian Fidance is hilarious. Check out his comedy. Also, love this video, Mr. Regular.
RCR is quickly becoming my favorite center-left podcast.
“Enjoy it for what it was in its prime.” 💯
Ian fidance makes any podcast he is on better.
He does!
Highlight of my day!
Also thank you for being a rare voice of reason regarding cages/roll bars and their danger without a full restraint system, helmet, HANS, etc. The joke about putting grandma back there to inherit her house was fucking brilliant and I hope more people picked up on it.
I love my ‘86 Fox. There’s just something special about how they drive and feel. They are just plain fun to rip around, and are pure 80’s styling through and through. Yes, the 302 in them is an old design but it’s a reliable one and one that has a great aftermarket following.
The Vanilla Ice joke is fantastic 😂
So was the cover at the end
Don’t let Ian get too much screen time the world isn’t ready
My father passed down a foxbody to me. I have it stored in a garage until I’m done with my military service. It’s a mint condition OEM+ build. I can’t wait to go back to it.
Is it a 93 mustang
I for one would love to know what happens when you get back to it. Safe travels and combat (... I know) until then.
Oh, today is starting out great. Thank you, RCR! SRT-10 RAM episode hit close to home and is my favorite.
I’m 34. This was my first car. So these are the nostalgic classics we want right now. The 60 70s market had their time now it’s changing. The amount of people that care about split window 63s is less and less every day
Thought: if the OG muscle car revival is dying off, and those cars are going to become less valuable as the nostalgia-buying public has moved on to the 90s, is it possible that they're going to bottom out and then subsequently arouse the interest of a second generation of retro-cool appreciation? Can something cycle in and out of vogue three times...?
@@MalikCarr It would for me. I've been searching for my dads 70 396 el camino for 10 years. I can't find it. Specs 70 real ss numbers matching, 4 speed hurst and special paint code of monaco orange from the factory. Whomever bought it has it locked up tight. I'd pay stupid money to have it back
I’ve been loving how hard these recent intros go. They remind me of the early, angry years
I NEEEEED THIS MUSTANG. This is my favorite one of all time ever since my dad bought one when I was 5 years old. This is probably the only contest I'll ever join.
YES YES YES! The first two minutes of this video is exactly the type of humour that got me to sub to this channel. So glad it made an appearance!
Currently driving around a bone stock 89 lx. Absolutely love the car
I gotta say.... I never thought I'd see Ian Fidance on RCR.
Growing up, my neighbor had a new ‘92 foxbody GT in white. Awesome car. Got a few rides in it. The torque was fun.
This was one of the best episodes all year!
Thanks!
My parents owned a Tempo GL and I recognized many Mustang parts in the interior, especially the vents and controls.
I had a 92 LX 5.0 5spd, red with black interior. I miss that car, it was the first car I really dumped entirely too much time, money & effort into. Heads, intake, cam, injectors, MAF, aluminum driveshaft, 3.55s, eaton posi, 31 spline axles - 300rwhp and under 3,000lbs; it was an amazing car.
1989 to 1993 I worked at a speed shop in Elmwood Park NJ. Everyday I worked on a Mustang or Camaro , Firebird. I don't miss those days the Mustang owners called my CRX a girls' car. Yet they payed me to work on their car's. A chip, Paxton, injectors, fuel pump, off road exhaust, 150 shot of nitrous, only to bounce it off the center barrier or stuff it under a school bus. PS the horse on the airbag cover will leave an imprint on your face.
Man this is just one of the best channels ever, I'm a chevy guy, but those fox body's are nasty, great to slide around too
Bought a 95 Probe about a year ago and yet every time I hear your channel mention the Probe I can`t help but smirk! ;)
This will mark the 12th time I’ve watched this beautiful car. I know it’s such a long shot but to be able to shift those gears… it would genuinely fulfill my heart.
The crossover I never knew I needed
I still have a 96’ f150 with a 5.0 and the same steering wheel. Killing it.
I never truely realized how small these cars are until my bose gave me a ride in his black drop top 5.0 before I left and went to college. It was such a fun car around town.
I think that the nostalgia is what drives the value on these cars, the good looks are subjective. I've heard someone say that they look a lot like the Ford Escort from that era and now I can't unsee that.
The 79-86s are arguably more popular now.
I love my 86 t-top Gt. Recently sold my 91 lx 5.0 notch. I bought the 91 for myself in 1999 as a 21st birthday present. The official car of Getting to last call before the bar closes!!
It's not at all about what it IS, it's all about what it CAN be. These cars are among the most perfect build platforms you can ask for, they can do literally any kind of racing and have the biggest aftermarket out of any enthusiast car. You can put almost any drivetrain you can think of in it, it's light weight, the only problem is they're getting scarce and prices are increasing.
In Australia, we used the 5.0 Windsor until late 2002, not sure when America stopped using it but I know it was definetely in production until then. That's how prolific the Windsor was.
I think 2000 was the last year. I believe the Explorer was the last American Ford to have a pushrod 302.
@@331Grabber Yup, I remember the 2nd Gen Explorer had a 5.0 option.
It feels like an autocross build, cause those tend to also be daily driven, and there are a lot of modern Mustangs (at least where I run autocross) built in a very similar manner. This would fit right in
He absolutely lives to make videos about Mustangs and IROC...owners!
Im juzt a teeenage douchebag baby
Love seeing clean examples of foxbody mustangs where the hood doesn't close right
If I win this car, the first thing I will do is take the hood off and throw it in a dumpster.
The whole Vanilla Ice "I'm not..." bit killed me.
*Awesome owned multiple foxbodys currently own a mint 1995 gt red interior 17inch cobras tons of upgrades love my car first car was a 89 lx hatch 5spd second owner my second car was 91 lx has auto red interior 3rd owner both v8s purchased for 1500 a piece could easily get 35-45k for both now the prices have gotten crazy* 😎 *this videos awesome* 😂😂
I have a 79 fox with a 5.0 built the “old school way” and when you said “it drives exactly how you think it drives” couldn’t be more of a understatement😂 not to fast but not to slow but justtt funnn
Had quite a few foxbodies in the early 2000's. Had vettes, currently have a Redeye. I want to sell it all and get another Fox. The size, square body, feels raw when driving... and the sound... amazing. I'll get another soon.
I have a few of the Lincoln Mark VII LSC's and they are my favourite Fox platform car!
I remember the day that Vanilla Ice passed me in his Lamborghini Murcielago on SW 30th Ave in Ft Lauderdale coming from the old dirt bike track.
I met Ian while doing comedy in NY several years ago. He was one of hundreds to emerge in the comedy boomb of the late 2010's. If anybody had told me back then that he would be one of the most successful up and comers to emerge from that scene 5 or 6 years ago, I would never have believed them.
I saw Ian perform with Dave Attell here in Phoenix. Such a funny guy. I hope to see a show featuring Ian again.
We used to love the red one we had. LX 5.0 and that bright red with original wheels
I had a 91 lx with a cowl hood 🤣. It had 13K original miles when I bought it back in 99. I learned how to drive a manual in that car. Ah the memories. Good and scary 😳
Thank you for posting this right before my college final start within a couple of hours. Nonetheless, farebody Foxwell.
Oh man I needed this. Am going through a tough one today and this got me laughing in the library
🤣 I knew this crossover was coming hahahaha
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
As a watch this almost exactly 1 year after this video was posted, I have just purchased a clean, one owner ‘90 LX 5.0 5 Speed. I intend to mostly leave it alone. Maybe a shifter and gears, maybe not. I intend to do exactly as you said in this video - enjoy it for what it is.
Only the Roman could get me to actually listen to the lyrics to ANY Vanilla Ice song. Well played, Sir!
My first car that I insured and drove was a 1988 notchback 5.0 5speed, black on black, bone stock, when I was 17. Am 34 now, Still have it, still bone stock, needs a freshen on brakes and the engine, but all in all, it's my baby, no amount of money could part me from it.
I come here for the the beautiful poetry of his reviews
Ian Fidance on RCR? FUCK YEAH DUDE, THAT RULES!
The crossover I never would have imagined
The 302/5.0L stuck around in the Mustang for two more years after they replaced the Fox body with the SN95 model, but those 94/95 models had a weird version of the intake manifold with a molded-in intake elbow to clear the strut tower. From '96 on up, Ford dropped the pushrods in favor of overhead cams in the 'Stang, and the 302/5.0L stuck around for a couple more years in the F-Series trucks and Explorers before those went to the 4.6L and 5.4L Modulars, too.
Ahh, the melted plastic era of cars... I remember truly hating these as a kid, like they'd personally killed car design, but they've grown on me over time. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug!
My love for the fox body mustang is the size. The beautiful sound from the 5.0 V8 and rear wheel drive in such a small car makes it fun. I'm not looking for the fastest car on the road but the one that's most fun to drive.
The second i saw the thumbnail was the exact moment i already knew the intro - and i was absolutely not disappointed 🤣
My favorite Foxbody is still the ASC McLaren version of the Mercury Capri. What a good looking car. Especially in silver with the orange accents.
Really did a double take when I saw Ian on RCR. He was a regular at the coffee shop I used to own. Pretty cool dude with apparently good taste in cars.
The foxbody to have is an LX 5.0 notchback. The lightest, cleanest, fastest body of them all. I'll never forget the car that Maximum Motorsports built back in the day: An LX with a 427 twin turbo that was tuned for daily driving manners, and a suspension that crushed Ferraris on a track. The best thing about the foxbody was that, for *extremely* cheap, it could be any car that you wanted it to be.
My idea foxbody was our 85 gt convertible with red interior and paint. It just drove nice and sounded great. An amazing car to just drive in
Fox body mustang, the cherished hot rod of every early 90's high school boys.
When I was a kid, my dad had 93 fox body with the 5.0, in white like this, but with a white top convertible, and a red leather interior. Shit was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yay I’ve missed “which _____ is *best* _____?”
I was kinda hoping he would go with "My Mustang is best Mustang because STREET OUTLAWS!" The reality show with the highest concentration of fox bodies in recent memory.
I just got my mug. I can't wait to hopefully I win this thing so I go cruising with my dad and his 93. Good Luck all to those who entered and Merry Christmas.
Your intros are iconic
FINALLY! A giveaway car fit for this channel!
the Foxbody REALLY needed the 351 windsor!
Just random facts in case anyone was wondering. The fuel injected 302 aka 5.0 Windsor was in production from 1986 to 2001. Several differences between the mustang HO version and the truck version...mainly heads. But Mustang ran 5.0 HO thru 1995 model year in the sn95 body. Thru 1996 in the f150/bronco. And last but not least....thru 2001 in Ford Explorer/Mercury Mountaineer with the coveted gt40 heads.
I’m only 22 but I’ve always loved the fox. I scooped up an 87 hatchback that is rust free and only 54k on the body but has a couple weird aftermarket body kit pieces (was a project in the 2000’s looks like a hot wheels) and sits up because of the massive 9 inch rear end because it has a Ford 429. So I’m stuck with either dumping money into a project to keep it going or spend an equal amount to swap everything back to original. I knew all of this buying it but again it’s a clean fox with a full interior and it would be worth it even if it have to look at it for a little while longer.
Why is my algorithm in love with this man.
Had a:
79 Ghia 5.0 Notchback
85 GT 5.0 5-Speed
86 SVO
92 5.0 LX Hatchback 5-Speed
I sampled all the Fox body eras and miss the 86 SVO the most.
Currently own an 03 Mach 1
I love me little barbaric 1986 coupe, Notcho Libre. It's the diametric opposite of my 2014 GT. I just like it because it's a hilarious blast from my past.
Roman dropping the mic at the end 🔥🔥
Fun Fact:
The 302 also exists in air compressors, I've got one
It runs 4 cylinders and uses the other 4 to "make air" with a different head, it's hilarious and awesome and easy to fix hit also makes for some crazy hot air going to jackhammers
Interesting - I knew about VW aircooled engines converted into air compressors, didn't know that was done with other engines too. I assume they used one bank of cylinders to run and the other to compress air?
@@quillmaurer6563 exactly that, it's a wild little machine, does decent pressure for an old air hammer, but struggles with large saws or more than 1 hammer at a time
@@Consumedfever697 I'd think it would have a lot more output than that - various versions of the 302 were around 200 horsepower (in non-performance applications) so I'd expect the power cylinders of the air compressor to be around 100 hp. Though a lot of efficiency is lost, I can't imagine any air hammer or saw producing more than a few horsepower of total power.
Yes, Ice Ice Baby is one of the songs in my Karaoke Repertoire along with Paul Revere
and it's even white, this thing is so goddamn 90's i love it
I love… everything EVERYTHING about this video.
It DOES have a cupholder. That space between the parking break and the seat. That's the Mustang cupholder.
My friend just took a silver fox body Coupé that was spotless, like still had the silver paint underneath, and swapped a coyote into it
love the big bill hell's vibe
The 87-93 Foxbody Mustang.: The mechanical translation of 'brute force method'. All hail the V8 Skateboard.
Australia was chucking the Windsor into our hot Falcons right up until 2003
1990 Ford Mustang GT 5.0. If you were in high school and had one back in 1992, you were king. You were top of the heap. You had the best car on the lot. Better than the teachers' cars. Better than the dean's car. Fast forward 30 years, and pray that same car isn't still sitting on the same driveway with neighbors yelling over at you saying, "That thing still runs??? Wow..."
Of course it still runs, it has a Ford 5.0 V8 in it.
I wish we had more footage of my new car running!!!...... B-Rye....... Let us hear that cold start and that idle! We only got a couple seconds in the beginning. :-)
Fox body: The Ford Tempo of the Mustang family.
I miss when foxbodies where $2k running. I personally think a Foxbody mustang does look like a mustang, as a modern interpretation not needing retro call back.
