Great weekend at Chocolate Fox. Not many cars Friday, but Saturday was packed with tons of great looking cars. Next up, Ford Nationals at Carlisle in three weeks. Really looking forward to this one, Saleen 40th Anniversary. Supposed to be over 100 Saleens registered already.

Such a sweet looking car!

I drove the vert the other day. It's the only one I've driven so far. Brought it to the house for the summer.

Thank you. I still need to order a repo window sticker for it. Do any of your fox’s still have AC? Mine has R12 it quit working, I may end up converting it to R134A. I also want to do the 3G alternator upgrade.

You can still get R12 on ebay. Nobody checks for the license these days.

COmmon area for leak however is the shaft-seal, and i've found a lot of the reman compressors also leak at this area even out of the box. It's a $20 seal and pretty easy to replace.

I have a functional R12 system in my fox.

Yup all 3 still have ac. I rarely use it though. I have a PA alternator in the 90 coupe.

That would be awesome because I hear it blows cooler it’s been out of service for a while though.

That’s awesome, I more or less want one for the lights dimming at night and May ad an electric fan. But other than that probably won’t do much more. It’s pretty much stock except for exhaust, CAI, short shifter, and cooling system upgrades except still stock fan.

Easily into the upper 30's out of the vent on a 90's humid day for me.

I'm a windows down, sunroof off, AC on max sort of driver.

But Brady, you have a nice lift, so the chore is much less a hassle. Agreed? LOL.

Still have problems with the exhaust. Drivers side isn't lining up good at all. I'd rather pull transmissions than deal with exhaust...

Alright I got the flowmaster catback exhaust installed! Sounds great. I think I need new exhaust tip rubber isolators. The drivers side sits lower and it looks stretched out.

Also changed the oil and fuel filter.

I wish I had a lift. I had to do mine on the ground :(

Speaking of exhaust, I pulled mine out of the garage after fixing a coolant leak to test the system. Made an idle video of the new Borla Pro XS I just put on.

The Borla Pro XS setup sounds really great! How is it at WOT?
