Just another ride height pic, really more to show the exhaust from this angle. It took a while to get used to the vertical muffler orientation...



Yes, a Fox with the optional cat.

Finally got the tach cluster and boost gauge in. I'd blame it on work, the yard and garden, etc., but mainly it was sloth.
Jonathan made the boost gauge mount, and left room for another gauge eventually. Sprayed with textured black paint, and a few days later
installed it in about 10 minutes. The mount fits snugly in the ashtray hole- he worked on it for a while till it was just right. A bit of duct tape around the gauge itself helps it fit snugly.
A quick test drive showed a little over 9 psi ("psi's" as the kids say.) Not super-high, but it wasn't meant to be. The car is quick, cheap, and fun- in other words, it's a Fox...
