Haven't updated my threads in a while but for good reasons, the main one of which is highlighted in a recent vlog: Since then, I've made a few small updates to the Fox, documented in more recent videos but hoping to have more time in the garage as it gets warmer and as the new addition...

My latest attempt to get the exhaust leak sorted didn't work. I have not been able to get the hardware on the driver side to tighten down correctly so thanks to a recommendation from another Fox owner, I stopped by Tractor Supply and picked up some new hardware that hopefully will do the trick...

Thanks for mentioning that. I'll do some investigating.

I wish this were true. I'll document more in my next video but there's definitely still some oil leaking. I need to get the car elevated and get underneath to clean things up more and see what else it could be.

So I finally got behind the intake manifold and saw that the PCV valve was super loose. It seemed like it was still in the hose but was disconnected completely from the grommet and the grommet itself came out really easily. I was also able to remove the screen pretty easily with a magnet: I...

Upon further inspection, it looks like I've got an exhaust leak in addition to the oil leak that was not resolved by the RMS being replaced. I tried a quick fix on the exhaust hardware but it didn't do the trick so I'll have to get under the car for a closer look. A couple of days ago , I did...

Thanks man. I had never heard about this until recently so will definitely be taking a look at the PCV valve.

Almost a month later, I finally picked the Fox back up yesterday. The 4.10 gears are installed…..along with new 31 spline rear axles, a new rear main seal, a new clutch, a new clutch cable, and the speedometer gear kit. Long story but I think most of you know how it goes. I wasn’t thrilled to...

Added a new vlog after receiving some new parts a couple of weeks ago: Update since then - a Fox owner on another forum that I frequent gave me the name of a shop. I got a much more reasonable quote from them. I dropped the Fox off at that shop the week before last, to have the 4.10s...

Major complex/technical upgrade accomplished yesterday…….I replaced the passenger side mirror: It actually did end up taking longer than I expected (shocker) because I didn’t realize I would have to take the inner door panel off to access the connector for the mirror. I'm pretty happy with...

Thanks man. I have a set of pony wheels (that I bought a year ago now, lol) but I don't want to spend money on summer tires and not be able to use them for five months & I don't want to have two sets of all season tires for the Fox.

I wish I had more substantial updates to report on the Fox but work has been really busy and lower temperatures have kept me out of the garage. I did get the body moulding stripe back on though, so the car is finally looking a bit more civilized, at least from 10-15 feet away. I also got the...

Thanks. How does the mounting bracket work? My brain isn't comprehending.

I've been lazy about updating my various threads but I have a few updates on the Fox from the last month or so. After getting the double din with apple car play, adding cupholders felt like a natural next step: This led to me finally getting the windows tinted:

I had a local shop weld in Flowmaster high flow cats to the offroad x pipe (it was on the car when I bought it). The car definitely seems a bit quieter and I think the cats helped get rid of most of the gas smell but I'll need to drive more to confirm. I still have the drone, I assume due to...

I went to a car audio shop last weekend with the intent of getting a quote on a new stereo setup for the Fox. As much as I tried to convince myself I was OK with the soulless gap in the center console and no music, I needed something. The shop wasn't super busy and the guy ended up installing a...

Picked up the bumper cover and ground effect piece a couple of weeks ago but forgot to update my various threads.

From what I read in the instructions, you can go back to stock using the calibration programmer/tuner.

I thought the key option was only for the Boss 302 but maybe I was mistaken. There's also a "performance cal" which is apparently the same tune as I got with the track cal but without the lopey cam idle (and launch control I think).

Dropped off my new rear bumper cover and passenger side ground effect piece for paint a few weeks ago and then took a road trip. Called the shop this week and the guy said the paint was done on the bumper cover but the ground effect piece was taking longer (I guess it wouldn’t take the paint on...

I didn't mind the Barton at first but eventually got tired of how notchy it was and decided to try other setups. I sold the Barton before I ever bought the Blowfish bracket. Maybe I'll eventually give the MGW a try but for now, I'm happy with the combination I have.

I never said anything about the MGW being too expensive (or anything at all about the MGW). I did say that I'm happy with my current setup though. Part of the reason I bought the Blowfish bracket is because the factory shifter bracket bolts sheered off on my car last year. Even though I had...

I don't know if I could call this a build thread because the modding has been fairly limited on my 2014 GT and even though I bought the car seven years ago and should have done this sooner, I thought it would be nice to have a thread on this car, tracking some of my updates, ramblings, etc...

Back to the Fox - New video is up, taking forever to remove the damaged factory bumper cover and checking fitment on the new replacement bumper. A few other things arrived yesterday Passenger side rear ground effect replacement: MM steering shaft: I’m looking forward to having more...

I believe it was raced but likely in Japan because it's essentially a RHD version of the car that Makanin drove in the Swedish Rally. There's more information towards the end of the second EVO video I made here (around the 15 min mark it starts I think):
