Finally dialed in.
Finished the street tune today. The car hits boost early and stays composed — exactly what this hatch needed.
The story
I wanted the Foxbody I would've built if I had one in 1999 — responsive, usable, and loud enough to matter without becoming a trailer queen. No giant aero. Just an OEM+ hatch with honest hardware.

We found glitter.
Oil change revealed enough metal to justify stopping. Compression looked okay, but this was the excuse to refresh the bottom end.
The hatch finally arrived.
Mostly stock, remarkably clean, and wearing a terrible set of early-2000s wheels.

Love seeing a street build that still has an interior. Keep it usable.

This is exactly how a Fox should be done. Torq Thrusts are perfect.
That cold-start energy is going to slap once the clip is up.
