Thanks guys. In regards to ashley's question about my suspension setup, I'm running a Maximum Motorsports K member kit/coilovers in the front and the rear is an 03 irs with delrin control arm bushings, poly cradle/diff bushings, MM spindle bearings, and a torsen t2r diff w/3.73 gears, also on coilovers. (Spring rates are 375 front and 475 rear).

That should about cover everything but if anyone has any more specific questions, feel free to pm me

I have an '85 t-top fox with upr coil over kit up front and the ride is terrible. I need to switch to max Motorsports. I also have an IRS swapped from my old '04 cobra, with stock bushings. It wheelhops a ton. I guess I need to switch out the bushings.

I had a 79 cobra back when I was 14 I traded a gun for it,needless to say we ended up scraping it after we pulled the motor. Then after we pulled the heads I don't know why but I seem to remember that the motor had super small bores I mean so small I couldn't fit my fist in them. Maybe its just my mistake but it seems I read somewhere there was something weird with the 79 motor but that was a long time ago. I do wish I had a lot of the cars I had back then back to date ive had 60 fox bodies 1-94 2-95s 1-96 gt 1-99 cobra 1-04 gt and now the 03 cobra. There are a lot of the cars I wish I had back but I'm glad at times I don't have them since I would need a warehouse to keep them in.

OP your car is one good looking car, I cant believe there aren't more of these cars out there or you don't see them more often.
