Input shaft seal?
This is in a stock 5.0/302 93 fox. A friend just changed the rear main out for me and after taking it for a drive, I noticed this seal is leaking 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫. I’m not sure if it was leaking before or not. Which of the fluids would be leaking out? Gear or trans? Probably a stupid question but just want to make sure it doesn’t run low.
Looking for some help.
My car keeps blowing the #18 fuse. If I key on it blows immediately. I’ve disconnected the entire gauge cluster, the chime box, and stereo and it is still somehow shorting out. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’ve also replaced the ignition switch.
Joining the club
I just picked up this 1984 convertible, her name is Diana and she needs some TLC but she sure is beautiful. The previous owner did a lot of DIY work so everything’s a mess and not where it should be, but I’m looking forward to restoring her to her true glory
Looking for my old foxbody
I have a 1986 Hatchback currently. But this 92’ coupe was my first car. I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about it. Sold around 2016 in Kansas City, Missouri. I don’t have the vin anymore. It was at the time of selling a 1992 with a 2.3 and a 5 speed.
Just wanted to bring attention to a great resource for Foxes.
Hanlon Motorsports in PA, has great kits for full transmission swaps, depending on horsepower, gears you want, etc. I found out about them through a local shop otherwise I never would have found them. It's making my engine+transmission upgrade a lot easier than getting each part.

There's the site, complete packages. Not affiliated with them at all, but nice to have a resource for tranny work.
Gt40 head and intake any good for reliability?
90 lx hatch 5.0 less than 100k miles in wild strawberry in phenomenal shape. I want reliability. Something I can drive the hell out of. Burn the tires if I want to and rip it through some backroads but I want to take it on road trips more than anything. What transmission? What rear end? What heads? What intake? I’m new to foxes everyone says tremec, trickflow or gt40, 8.8 rear end 3.73. I just need something advice. I’m 25 and I just want to drive my fox everywhere and don’t want to have to tear into it all the time. Thanks in advance!
What a small fix/upgrade that made you enjoy driving your fox just a bit more?

White on White or White on Gold?
Internal debate going on here at LMR with half our guys digging the white on white and half digging the white on gold SVE S89 wheels.
I am partial to the white on white :)
What differential fluid are you running in 8.8 rear end?
I have a fairly stock 89 Mustang. Rebuilding the 8.8 rear end with the LMR heavy duty rear end kit 3.73 gears. What fluid are you guys running? Thanks

New LED lights on my Calypso green coupe.
I finally got the LED lights in my calypso green coupe's taillights. The LED boards weren't hard to install into the tail light housings themselves.
You either love or hate it. I know most won't like it, and that's ok. I have another coupe (which will retain the bulbs), so at least each will have a different look.
225/70R15 tires fit
It’s time for my Mustang to get new tires. My speedometer says more than I’m actually going and I did the math and it’s by such a factor that if I ran 70mm sidewall tires it woudl be accurate again. This leads me to believe the previous owner did this at some point. Many tire options I was looking at don’t come in 60mm sidewall plus I think the taller sidewall looks cool. Putting 225/70/R15 tires on my 1990 GT would kill many birds with one stone but I am unsure if they will fit. Has anyone tried this before? Is this a stupid Idea and I should just buy the right tires and adjust my speedo like a normal person? Any input would be great!
anybody know where i can find this fitting by itself?
the angled one
Fuel Pump?
I did a wire tuck awhile ago and got around to removing starter solenoid and wired in a relay for mini starter. Organized wires to a buss bar. Went to start car and it had a hard time starting and when it did it was a odd idle and stumble when gas pedal pushed. I turned it of and rechecked to ensure no wires were left off post. Turned key on and did not here normal humming noise from fuel pump. Back seat and trunk are stripped so it’s a noticeable noise. This time it was just like a low click. Is it just a coincidence that the pump is going out or my reroute of wires could have caused this?
anybody know where i can find this exact fitting online?
it’s the fitting circled i need it for another car and can’t find it online
