I have been up in a loop about doing a Fox body Mustang as an alternative to a 240SX as a first venture into making a project car and I have read some good articles about the Kenny Brown parts, including an IRS swap, Front K Member replacement and A-Arms. But now I went to the web site and nothing is to be found. What gives?

Anyone have suggestions for good Fox body parts?

These would be a good place to start.

 

Thanks!

 

What kind of use will this project car see? When I read "240SX" I thought "drifting". If that's the case, there is a site for Mustangs being modified and used for drifting. Otherwise, how about drop a Ford OHV V8 in a 240 for fun (it's been done).

 

The Fox would be an all around road performance car, aimed at the M3 theory of performance and style. I guess I can expand, I want to put the Fox in the world of today. Update as much as possible. What sucks is the airbag, I don't know that I can take away the airbag for a better steering wheel. If anyone has any input please let me know.

It is unfortunate that Kenny Brown is no longer selling the parts I wanted for the Fox.

My idea as for now is a Fox Notch:
- 5.0L Coyote
- T-56
- Cobra IRS
- New Chassis and Frame support
- American Racing Cobra style wheels (If they fit and look good)
- SSBC Brakes
- I'd like to say EPAS but total, it's more than the engine and IRS combined so I just think that may be a no go. Not sure, just need an insane deal. So steering is really up in the air.
- Koni Adj Shocks
- Not sure about color, new 5.0L badges that are also turn indicators (See BMW Z4).
- Interior is to be re done completely with ambient night lighting, new badges, stereo, guages, some alacantara peices, better bolstered seats.

The 240SX was kind of a project in my head that seemed to be interesting because it already had a decent chassis, easy to find.

The other reason was to do a mix between the conventional 240SX modifications with a hot rod influence. Created to kind of terrorize the usual ricing out of a 240.

But I thought the Fox would be just as much fun.

 

Though it could be easier to nab up a 4.6L DOHC.

 

You could remove the airbag steering wheel if the car is so equipped, but you would run into problems if your motor vehicle inspection station/local law enforcement is strict about that. "Best solution" would be to use a pre-airbag model year and those steering columns offer tilt adjustment, unlike the airbag-equipped ones.
The Mustang drifting crowd has some solutions to the poor max tire angle of the Fox/SN95 - that could help tighten up this car's horrendous turning circle (U turns).

 

I've got a 4.6 and trans out of my '06 if you're interested.

Make me an offer!

 

Hey thanks for the offer! Unfortunately I am just tooling around with the idea. I am pretty sold on the new 5 litre anyway. I don't even have the car, just prepping ideas and trying to get some information straight before I do dive into it.
