Project 1989 Mustang GT Convertible

[244Brick]

Fair enough, 244Brick i agree with your assessment of the S/W car of the year. I think that the 300zx deserved it but that's just my opinion. I also would agree that the targets for the 'flaming' seem to have bias, but isn't that the risk of posting on these types of forums?

Not everyone is going to agree with what your doing to your car or the fact of if it is safe or not (i'm sure we've all had someone tell us what we do to our cars is stupid or dangerous at some point) but i think i've supported my comments on 'design modifications' to the control arms with realistic and commonly excepted engineering concepts. This may not justify some of the general comments on here but i think the OP has tried to defend his choices, tried firing back and, ignore a lot of the discouraging comments.

I know i've taken heat for my posts on here and other forums, but it's par for the course, after all this is internet and when you post you take the chance of getting compliments or criticism . It seems a lot of us are drawn to see the oddities of the stance world for the taste of something different, so it probably doesn't help this car isn't an E30, W201, MKIII, Civic, ect.

OP keep calm and carry on doing your thing all be it unusual and possibly ill-advised. i support your DR. Pepper collection

Yeah, opinions or critiques is one thing, but there''s a point where everyone needs to chill and let it be. The comminuty is one of the most H A T E D communities out of everything and the last thing we need is an implosion. I know someone personally who deleted his account, because of the "flaming bandwagon." I just wish critiquing was expected and the Idiot comments was prohibited! LOL I feel like the peace keeper

Lol at all the h.aters... Everyone at the track loved my car, especially the redneck flavor, haha.

I'm really not as stupid as I sound here, people just take my shit too seriously... I have good friends that drive hondas, I'm just joking around. All you guys loved my car until the cut control arms and then you went crazy like I destroyed my car, haha. I feel safe with them, and so do my passengers, so it doesn't bother me what someone else thinks, lol. They're not gonna snap, they're cold stamped steel, if anything, they'll just bend.

I'm not retarded, I do shit right, but on a budget. I'm not some dumbass that would bolt his harnesses to the floor, lmao. Yeah I used like 1.5" small tubing to cut cost, but it's sturdy enough that I feel safe with it. If I didn't feel safe with what I was doing, I would not drive my car until I feel safe with it.

Talk shit all you want, I'm not gonna change my car because someone else doesn't like it when I like it.

Yeah, I left the swaybar off because I put it in my garage and forgot to put it back on after I changed my rack and pinion lol. I had it on the ground then I was like ah, f*ck it, lol.

I know your point man. Continue!

[MrDanguy]

I don't know what's more amusing... the OP, the schooling he's not paying attention to, or the whiteknights defending said retard (See: OP).

Either way, this shit needs to be posted to the "Post a pic that made you lol" thread.

[CrackerTeg]

I find myself disagreeing very strongly with everything I put in bold.

Stop being a hack and own up to the fact that you're hacking. There's no shame in hacking something for a quick fix, or as a temporary thing if money is tight- but don't think that you can fool a large majority of us on here that what you're doing is "right" or "safe" because "you feel it's safe". Look, we all butcher things from time to time, especially on a $500 car. But there are some corners (and control arms) you shouldn't cut. You had so much potential, but then you went the angsty teenager way and started butchering things to get a reaction out of people (see: redneck hood). Not what most of the Stance|Works community is about.

Also, you're still an ignorant dumbass for making the Honda comment. You weren't joking. You were hoping people would stand behind you and laugh, and instead, everyone looks at you like a fool.

All this and then some. I could not have said it any better.

I think the comments should be moved to the "off topic" section...This build is going to be closed smh

[low89fox]

Haha, I love the tags on my thread. Just saw that.

And I'm going to continue the build thread, negative comments aren't stopping me, lol.

I still have (probably) the lowest static dropped daily-driven fox out there, and I'm going lower in the front next paycheck. I wish I could go lower in the back, but I'm already almost sitting on the bumpstops. I may have found a Cobra independent rear suspension too, my friend may want to swap his Cobra to solid axle if I can talk him into it, lol.

[AlexWilmot]

Fixed:

I still have (probably) the lowest static, most dangerous to myself and others on the road, dropped daily-driven fox out there,

[delvin]

That rear bumpstop is easily overcame. Just unbolt it and shave it down to your liking or buy a shorter one. I think energy suspension makes one. Unless you mean the internal bump stop in the shock. Also some weight jacker rear lowers will get you tucked low. Well it tucks with my balloon ass 245/45's

Why don't you cut your rear axle too to get lower? It's perfectly safe. I can feel it. There's nothing that can go wrong...( in your world )

[Rob_Da_Hood]

dude come on... even I don't think cutting a control is ok, now they have warned you that they don't think its safe its safe... you didn't even weld anything back in to help support what you cut out

[Jstylez]

Well this sucks! I got excited when i read the title. I love modified fox bodies, but i have to say, you sir are wrecking that poor car. To each their own though, you bought it and paid for it, do to it what you want. it's just sad to see you taking short cuts, especially DANGEROUS ones... be careful, i hope you don't end up hurting yourself or especially somebody else!

ignore the ******, but do keep an open mind and at least give what they say a thought, because you are taking some dangerous short cuts.

keep us posted on the progress!

[Itsahyundai]

This shit.

[Bystrov]

i went ahead and quoted the gold of this here thread!

It's a Fox, we all know they are junk.


Lol, I know plenty of Hondas that would make your piece of shit Fox look stupid. I'd rather take his Prelude over that bastard of a Fox. Nobody gives a shit about it.

In case we hadn't already established you have no clue what you're talking about...

[quote=crxmarc;988758]i hope he posts when something breaks!

/QUOTE]

Wat.
You took away the one part of your suspension designed to eliminate body roll, then complain it has body roll.

I was shocked to see he used a harness bar. Here I was half-expecting him to go full-retard and bolt it to the floor behind the seats.
