  • @CiottiFPV
    @CiottiFPV 10 років тому +4

    Matt, the SN95 Cobra brakes may be enough for the Fox since it's lighter but you may run into the common issue they have with "clam shelling" (when the caliper gets real hot it actually opens up and you get horrible pad wear/braking performance) so it's probably a good idea to start looking for 2000 Cobra R or Focus RS M-2300-B front brakes which are a direct swap, cheap, and don't have this issue. Just some food for thought, keep up the great work and screw all these "hater" morons!

    All these bums spreading negativety. It is his car he can build it how he wants. Don't hate because he is smarter then you enabling him to capitalize on free parts. 30k is not that uncommon to build a car. If you have ever built anything you know it costs a fortune. since when are free parts fake, I bet they work real good. if you wanna see 30k into a fox body check me on insta at misterfoxbody , troll on trolls.

  • @IrishDevil78
    @IrishDevil78 8 років тому +1

    I don't understand all the people with issues about how much this build cost. It's not unheard of to put $20-30 grand into a car. Yeah, he got some sponsored/free parts, it's called advertising. This build isn't even all that exotic, lots of factory parts. I'm planning a similar build, except mine will have a/c, no compromises on that. The little fox bodies are excellent candidates for these type of builds. Oh, and I'll be building mine in the garage.

  • @4g63mark
    @4g63mark 10 років тому +1

    I'm jealous Matt. I live right by Maximum Motorsports and bought LOTS of stuff from them, but they wouldn't do any of the installs. You must be a lot more special than me. They say those lifts are only for R&D. Maybe if I had a camera crew they would've done it..... I guess I'll be buying all my stuff from Team Z Motorsports from now on.

  • @taylor1212eminem
    @taylor1212eminem 10 років тому +30

      My point is when you first bought the mustang you said you were going to lightly modify it and that to me sounds like a real world build. Yeah we're all in the same world but your in the 1% that puts 25000+ plus into a 7 grand car. I'd be scared to drive it on the street because of dumb people that don't pay attention

  • @o.m383
    @o.m383 10 років тому +6

    Other than then the unrealistic jobs that you cant do yourself. I feel like this build is just a blank check and not much else. It'd be more interesting to see you actually work on YOUR car. Anyone can buy their track car from the showroom and drive it, what's so different about yours.

    Matt, you Sir look like a happy man! ;) ...Shit!!! I would be too! I really dig this Foxbody Mustang Project too!!!
    It's always been a dream of mine to one day have a project car or truck to work on!!! I noticed that you took a slightly different approach w/ this build than some others might have. I would think that most would go straight to adding more Power!
    ...but you gotta be able to put that power to the ground now also! HAHAHA
    I never would have realized how much there is going on underneath your car!?!? =0 lol
    With ALL the aftermarket suspension upgrades, custom mandrel bent 2.5'"exhaust & additional chassis bracing/stiffening that you've had done to the undercarriage. It's going to be a completely different Animal since last video of it!!!
    Those HRE rims are going to look SO MEAN once the flares got on also!!!
    BRAVO! Looking forward to seeing it in action!!!!

  • @TheDutchTexan

    Nice car Matt but, this video really shows why I hate entirely black wheels. They look fine off the car but once mounted you can't see the design. Plus with all the black from the fender well, the wheel looks like just a large round mass. Looks wise, May as well saved a shit ton of money on some fucking Discount Tire in store wheels.

      pegalis Well, Ok but, all of that resume you posted doesn't include anything Ford so, Hmmm...I guess I have to be a dick again, the plugs on new Ford V8's are on top of the engine or should I say through the top of the valve covers, so no need remove motor from engine bay for plug changes....I guess your not familiar with modern coil type engines. I forgot to mention that in my last post but, figured your the type to babble on....it's awesome to be a dick to a person like you. Anyways, good luck with your projects.

    • @unlisted9494
      @unlisted9494 10 років тому

      To be honest, an L86 chevy engine would be a far better idea in this car than an ecoboost. Ecoboost would add a ton of weight and complexity with all its peripherals that just isn't really needed.

      Skylar Garrett Yea but, I haven't seen anyone do this before, IMO it would be pretty cool project for a road course car but, yea, there are cheaper and more effective ways to go about it although, if I had money to waste, I would give it a try and probably like it.

  • @dogeminer
    @dogeminer 9 років тому

    Come on man. I like (love) your videos but "HRE designed this wheel, for, this car". I'm sincerely disappointed. You've always been the guy to appreciate a low cost build for what they've accomplished. A $5,000 car with $12,000 wheels is not even close to your style and not what /tuning is about.
    EDIT: As i continued to watch you said you have no idea how heavy these wheels are. WTF man?? ANy true car guy has a lot of respect for the fox body mustang. Especially the LX, but you're spitting on that. Wheel weight is one of those sacred things. If some guy on a forum says he put "sweet dubs" on his car but they're 25lbs, we laugh him out of there.

    IRS + Exhaust looks nice a clean. Gotta love the new Max Motorsport Suspension stuff. I put my own setup in my '93 Cobra and was just like you - a kid in a candy store. I mean, every Fox owner wants Max Motorsport stuff on his car. Those wheels are amazing looking. Reminds me of a set of Roush wheels I always wanted for my Fox - very limited run so tough to obtain. I ended up with back 18" Saleen reps (car is black on black). Only thing I don't personally like is the Saleen like front bumper you held up to it. LX foxes, especially notches look too clean sans the extra body cladding. I wouldn't do it, but then again it's not my car. Looking forward to more.

  • @preston121068
    @preston121068 10 років тому

    Man this project takes me back... in 1995 I got my hands on a pretty decent condition 1979 Fox body Mustang Cobra 100% stock with about 400.000 miles on it. I did a complete tear down, put in racing disc brakes all the way around coil overs and replaced pretty much every piece of suspension on it. Dropped in a 5.0 crate motor advertised at 425 HP (dyno tested at 390 at the rear wheels) new 18" rims and some beefy BFG tires and man I had fun in that car on the street and the track.
    I believe overall I had around $13,000 into it and for what it was, that was a bargain and finally sold it in 2002 for $14,500. Didn't make really any money on it, but you never do with cars like these, but it was never about money, it was the hours and hours of fun I got from build to drive.

    lookin REAL good, cant wait for the next vid. I like the "real world" approach to this build, minus the $$ rims haha, but they look sic. this is a properly built track car with plenty of engine, maybe stroke it or SC but nothing too crazy. only thing I would change from what I see now are how far the rear pipes stick out, but that might be a funny camera trick. they should be a tad inside of the bumper, they look almost an 1" or so past, but that's just my opinion. POST MORE STANG VIDS!

    I understand that quite a lot of people are 'still' angered at the whole /DRIVE+ thing, (I was too, i miss being able to watch the full length episodes of /TUNED) but that does not mean that you need to go get out your halberd and bash the comments with "hurr durr, Farah has changed, drive is shit now, theyre all money whores bleh". Firstly, this is not fucking drive. This is The Smoking Tire, which is operated almost completely separate from drive. The only link between here and there is Matt. So, why is it that you're complaining about it here? Also, Unlike TST, the /Drive network costs quite a lot to run. The way they went about trying to get money to support themselves was a bit cockish, but they have to do what they have to do. Its their decision and if you feel like criticizing it, go ahead. Once. Don't keep doing it over, and over. It just pollutes the comments section. And to dismiss your retaliations that you may say to what I just posted,
    1.) Matt is not in power at /Drive. He works there. The decisions are left to J.F and other higher ups.
    2.) Most of the money that he gets from there, he dumps here. Which equals to more free content. So why complain?
    3.)Without /Drive+, we might not even have the 3 minute videos that we have today. So put up with it.
    Thank you.
    Oh, you should consider dumping the cobra engine and going for a 5.4 triton. You can also possibly rip a turbo off of a junkyard super duty and turbocharge it.

    Mr. Farah,
    I would appreciate if you stuck with the original "Project Five Liter Heater" name.
    Been following the build since you announced the purchase on TST Podcast. The big thing I'm looking forward to is the paint job followed by a polishing by Larry.

    My first new car was a 90 GT so perhaps you can imagine my fondness of the car in this video when you realize I installed LX taillights in my 90 GT. Now, six or seven Mustangs later, considering trading in my 11 for a 15. but damn, the 11 is the best Mustang I've ever driven. Worth the change is all I'm trying to figure out.

  • @z28fun
    @z28fun 10 років тому

    Any clue what make those moc wheels are? Also, what fan controller did they put on? I have a unmolested LX 5.0 in my garage that the previous owner had hardwired to a switch inside...need to change that! Getting to old to remember to turn it on! Nice build by the way! Thinking of going your route as well with the IRS/Maximum hardware! Love the HRE rims, but have to see how much they are, not listed on their site :(

  • @RTDragonCommando
    @RTDragonCommando 10 років тому

    I really want a fox like that, it's in my plans. The whole reason I found this project was because I thought "Has anyone put IRS on a fox?" And boom, the smoking tire badass fox has it, so now I know how I'll do it. And I love those wheels too, 18's are the perfect size for just about any race car, and those in particular are going to look wicked under those flares.
    I think the only difference in my plan from this one, is that I want to shove an ecoboost 2.3 out of a new mustang in my fox, and then pull a little more power out of it. Some people would roll their eyes, but with the lighter engine, and added weight of the IRS, the distribution will be closer to 50/50.

  • @MichaelF1
    @MichaelF1 10 років тому

    Those wheels are damned gorgeous.
    Maximum is doing an incredible job with this build. I think my eyes came when you guys pointed out that underbody. Peed in excitement at 6:04. The car does the Shmoney dance.
    10:10 Or die of Ebola...If said hypothetical situation were to occur, I know a youtube commenter with space in his newly renovated state, for whipping mustang. Just saying.

  • @GeorgeMcNally
    @GeorgeMcNally 10 років тому

    Holy crap Matt......that is such a cool car.
    I pretty much like everything about it....the exhaust note is killer.
    I could probably afford something like that (maybe on a *slightly* smaller budget) but there is no way I'd have a drivers license after about a week :-)
    Looking forward to seeing (and listening) to the finished project.

  • @dramprar1

    Nice job with the Notch! I currently have about 5 Foxbody projects that I am doing as a hobby when I am not working or at school. 88vert gt 5spd, 87vert gt auto, 89 vert gt 5spd, 91gt hatch auto, and my mostly done 92 gt hatch 5spd. I plan on keeping the 89 and 91 for myself and the 87 for the GF. The 92 I probably will sell and the 88 I am definitely selling. I am getting it into a daily driver status and had to do tons of work. I got the car with no interior or convertible top and frame. I cant wait to get it finished so I can start on projects I plan to keep. I would like to go with an independent rearend one day but since I am doing all the work myself it maybe awhile before I can.

    I don't get why everyone is complaining about paying for videos, you don't have to watch them, plus you get these videos right here for free. Besides, making videos about car's is his job, I mean fuck him for making a living right? Might as well abuse the cashier at your local supermarket for trying to make a buck too. Bunch of bloody children.
    Those cams sound absolutely viscous by the way, keen to see what it looks like when it's done Matt. :)

    Hey Matt and TST crew, curious if you would be interested in doing a review or a one shot video of the Taurus Sho with the performance pack. Test drove one for a short drive and loved the pick up but couldn't get a good dynamic feel for the car in the bends, descents, climbs, etc. Certainly it is a heavy car but for the price and estimated economy (its American which has to count for something) it seems to occupy a niche (awd American semi luxury sports sedan). A quick blurb about how terrible or mediocre it is would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. The fox body is going to be sick when completed; congrats on the clean find.

  • @GregLuft-ent
    @GregLuft-ent 9 років тому

    Wow! That's an Awesome looking and sounding Mustang. I love the fox body notch back they are my fave. I had a 1988 LX with a four cylinder five speed a few years back and it was actually pretty fast for a four cylinder. I love the close ratio steering in them too. makes you feel like you;re driving a race car.
    I hope to get another one some day.

  • @MatthewFerrell

    Matt, why is that you're always wearing pants in your videos? Every week I get on here to check - and you're still wearing pants. Dude, take them off. Summer's starting to die down out in L.A. Everybody's got their pants on. Take 'em off. Next week, find an Exocet, take those pants off and give the people what they want. I'll also settle for wearing a nice set of ear muffs.

    I'm stoked! I live near SLO. Wonder if i can go check it out. Anyway, killer ride. I've been more involved and excited about this car than anything on UA-cam. It's definitely more than I could ever do to my own rides, but it tickles my brain to see this 5 liter hog evolve into a land shark. It's gonna own everything! Good choice on the splitter. Sweet wheels. Thanks!

      Why you hating on God for? maybe the so called blessing dave dunn was talking about was
      from budda or zeus lol, Or maybe dave was just referring to all the sponsors that look after Matt
      because of Matt's hard work. You do know that the word blessed is not just for God or should

  • @christopheralexander8763

    Matt, been jonesing for an update on this car. Thanks for putting this out there.
    You're making it hard for me to decide between a track focused "restomod" Fox like this or whether to do something "simple" like a new GT or a M235i daily/track car.

  • @mercoid
    @mercoid 10 років тому

    I'm excited to see the completion. Been watching DRIVE for about a year now and only just discovered your channel.
    Just watched the first vid of when you got this car and you mentioned possibly doing a wrap instead of new paint. It struck me that it would be cool to have a wrap that was a giant photo of asphalt and have double yellow line down the center of the car to be the stripe. Kind of a wacky idea, I know but it would be unique!
    Good luck Matt.

  • @Dgannt
    @Dgannt 10 років тому

    Don't know why some give sarcastic remarks for Matt doing a bit of advertising and maybe getting a few stuff for free. US is the land of advertising, more than any other country on the planet, so you guys should be used to it. I've seen some older cars being modernized a lot, specially older muscle cars, for track use. Then come somebody and say "and people say muscle cars can't handle good". Thing is only the skin is unchanged on these cars.

  • @Goodwithmyhands2
    @Goodwithmyhands2 10 років тому

    I'm kind'a stoked to see this all come together. I like the fact you're not going NUTZ with crazy HP. You're building a road racing car that takes turns. Drag strip HP just doesn't mean as much going in and out of turns. What does matter is that you can get in and out of the turns quickly and smoothly maintaining a good speed throughout it. I want to build something like this if I can find the right car to start with for the right price. Please put up a sign in big flashing lights when this moddy is completed!
