Hey all! I just picked up my first fox body (93 lx hatch) yesterday. Drove it back to Ft. Lauderdale from Orlando with no problem. Man, this thing is sooooooo much faster than my 94 3.8!!!! I love it ! I have a few questions though. The oil gauge..... it didn't stay at a consistant spot. It jumped between the quarter and half way marks. Should I be concerned?

I have a set of 10th annaversary cobra wheels (7 spoke 17x9) with 275/45-17's. If I do a 5 lug conversion will these wheels fit well? I don't want them to stick out and I will probably lower the car and inch or so later.

dont trust the stock oil pressure gauge get a mechanical one and use that, for the 5 lug to work right you will need sn94-95 front spindles... lemme know if you have any questions on the 5 lug, I just did it myself

Thanks primetime. What about the SN95 set up will allow me to use these wheels? Also, what should I do for the back? I'd like to do this on the cheap at the moment. I've read the tech articles but is there something special I need to do in my case with the extra back spacing and tire?

Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot my most important question. I drove the car home last night with the AC on the whole way. This morning I opened the glove box and everything inside was wet. I checked the carpet and behind the glove box for moisture. Only in the glove box???????? WTF?

It might just be condensation leaking from the evaporator and heater core box. Did it smell sweet like coolant? If it was coolant that means your heater core is leaking.

Also that wide of a tire will rub real bad in the front.

Id really like to strip a 94-95 of it's brakes. Is it possible to take the rear axles and disk brakes?

lookinforastang

if u still have the sn-95.. do it otherwise it aint worth it

tons of good aftermarket rear disc setups

if u want a full 5 lug swap get the cobra discs. they are HUGE
