    Mike, this is just fantastic. Still have my 89 which has very few modifications but it keeps passing inspection and starts up every damn time. As I’m sure you know, TT made that dual downpipe for a while which your friend fabricated for you. That, attached to a Dasher manifold is one of the few modifications that I have, in addition to the cat back exhaust in stainless, also from TT. My biggest problem has been rot at the bottom of the windshield but a little silicon and the puddles in the footwell are somewhat smaller! I’ll drive it till it croaks or, until my wife sets it on fire. Your FI to carburetor mod is brilliant. Amazing work all around. Thanks for posting this.

      Hi Christopher, that 's great you are a fellow Foxer! I love driving my little Fox. I'm lucky my wife likes it too. I live in South Texas so rust it not a big problem here. With that being said, I have driven my Fox coast to coast and border tot border to border. Back when the borders were open I when to Thunder Bay, Winnipeg and Calgary Canada just because I was up in near the area on the US side. I drove down to Puerto Lobos and San Felipe down along the Baja Mexico. The only states my Fox hasn't visited was Maine, Alaska and Hawaii. I even drove her down to Key West Florida. So with all that said because she's been through sand, salt water, mud, and snow I had seen a few little spots of surface rust but I treated them right away with Marine Gel. Aside from that all the paint is original.

There great little cars. Easy to work on and easy on gas. I have no problem jumping into my for for a 200+ mile trip. But in the state of Texas that will not even get you out of the state from where I live.LOL! It kill's me to see a Fox in a junk yard that has a perfectly good body and is there because someone didn't want to do a little mechanical work to get it going again.

    • @vw90fox
      @vw90fox 4 роки тому

      I don't have a list of items but here is a link to another video that I did that has some links to where I purchased parts from, ua-cam.com/video/x18lvm5c234/v-deo.html Also if you upgrade your lights you should consider doing what the audio guys call a "Big 3 Upgrade". This is upgrading the the wiring from the Alternator to the Battery (+), Battery (-) to chassis ground, and engine to chassis ground. It made a huge difference on my Fox. Here is the guy that I purchased a pre-assembled wire harness to upgrade my lights from seal beam to H4' s. Jay Brown <thatvwbusguy@comcast.net He had done a few so if you contact him He will know what you are talking about when you tell him you have a VW Fox. As for the suspension, I replaced sway bar bushings (Engergy Suspensions P/N: RP19245(not an exact fit but will work)) which are very hard to fine because know one makes them any more or carries they here in the states. Rock Auto use to have some but you would have to check. I just repainted it since I had to take it off anyway. In the rear I have what is known as a "O-Bar". Some one in California use to make them. I stiffens the rear Axel beam. Other than that the suspension is pretty much stock. I do have a transmission brace from G6 that one of the guys on the VWVotrx Forum sent me from Brazil. In the video link that is above you will see very little engine movement, that is due to the trans brace and the 034 motor and transmission mounts as well as Techtronics Tuning front motor mount.www.techtonicstuning.com/ I'll list a few places that I can think of but contact people on VWVortex and on Facebook they will be you best source for information and parts. www.techtonicstuning.com/ www.partsplaceinc.com/ vwbusguy.com/ www.energysuspensionparts.com/ www.redlineweber.com/ www.jegs.com/ www.summitracing.com/
