Vaughn Gittin Jr's Fox Body walk around & insane drifting.mp4
4 Video Views·Oct 26, 2022
We're at Englishtown, New Jersey,
actually where I started drifting.
It's East Coast Bash this weekend,
just an event that's a ton of fun.
That's my man Chris Forsberg, Ryan Turker here.
We just get crazy out on the track running tandem.
As you can see, I have my Missile Fox,
yes, a Ford Mustang Fox body.
A lot of people's mind exploded
when they found out that I had one of these
for drifting.
A lot of people ask about it,
so I figured I would share what this thing is.
I actually bought it from a guy in California
who had it pretty well built.
It had a cage, IRS in it, which isn't necessarily required,
but still a cool thing to have.
For me, this thing is just about fun.
You can see it's haggard, it's got dents, it's dirty,
but I have enough high-maintenance vehicles
that it's nice to be able to just jump in something
that you can change the oil in, put gas in it,
and beat the living crap out of it.
Reliability's key, so just a Ford Racing 302,
thing probably makes like 300 horsepower
to the flywheel, maybe, but the thing is all torque,
so I have a 2.7 rear gear in it,
and this thing just stays flat,
just brah, brah, in the torque curve,
and is a blast out here in Englishtown.
Some headers, Magnaflow exhaust.
Cannon filter.
For steering angle, that's one of the biggest things
with Fox bodies.
I've extended the tie rods,
and also put lower control arms on it
to give me that additional angle.
Ford Racing T56 Magnum transmission.
Again, reliability, I don't feel like working on this thing.
ASD handbrake, a necessity in all drift cars.
As you can see, I have two sets of pedals in here,
and that's for some fun that we have
called opposite controls.
Someone can sit here and use the steering wheel,
and someone can sit here, use the clutch, brakes, and gas,
and it's just a fun challenge, I don't know.
We just like to get crazy.
Everybody loves Fox bodies.
You Fox body guys are very passionate.
I love this thing.
I think it's the best kept secret of drifting.
But everyone's like, man, why don't you fix it up?
Well, I think after you watch what we do with these,
you'll understand, I don't feel like fixing it up.
I just want to have fun.
My face hurts from smiling every time I get out of this car,
and that's what this one's about.
