no motivation thinking of selling
well not that anyone cares but i think i'm gonna ditch the fifty. i put a brand new dss shortblock in with fresh gt40's and valves springs and port and polish. the car never ran right after that.i know it's something simple two.won't start dies out etc. etc. i used to be all about my car but i no longer waste my entire work day on either this website or ebay looking for deals.What has come over me ?totally discouraged. smog is pass due. just a sad state of affairs..........think i'll get a honda.

dood dont give up the fox. you'll regret it. i did. thats why i had to get another. i sold a beautiful 87gt hatch aod, because i was too young and naieve to learn how to adjust a detent cable properly, and i got sick of blowing trannys, so i traded it for a grand am[:'(][:'(][:'(] make another thread about what the exact symptoms are, and what you have tested/inspected... i bet we can get it going.

RE: no motivation thinking of selling
how much u want for the car cause i could use that short block, but i must say that ur fox looks pretty friggin good and i kno that you dont wanna do this, ur letting some steam off right now and u will want to keep it in a coulple days. i just felt htat way about myfox, its slow and its a complicated motor to mod with the flat top pistons and speed density, but now i found a new setup that i think should work and hopefully wont be too expensive. we shall c
but hondas are good cars, and someone said you could spend moeny and they wont go no where thats not true find a gsr motor put it in the hatches and ur runnin right next to a stock fox. then if u put cams and valve springs wit a tune say hello to low 13's all day and the capability of reving to 9000 rpms is really cool,trust me ive done it.
but good luck

RE: no motivation thinking of selling
i was kinda joking about the honda. i got a P.O.S. neon for my comuter.
it's my first car and i spent a college educations worth of money on it so i doubt i would sell. just was hoping someone would mention something i haven't thought of yet. they are great cars just alot of work.
anyone have any ideas on my symptons? live in nor cal and want to make some money?
