My new project..

[yunggunz87]

Recently I have had the worst time with my car..  A ton of stuff has went wrong within the last month or so..

My transmission was the last draw, when it went out I said its time to do something instead of dishing out tons of mulah everyday for an ongoing problem..

What I do I bought a mint cougar same as mine the only problem they smacked a bambie.. Leather interior sunroof the works..  So my project is changing everything that needs to be swapped in order for the car to be drivable..  Keep in mind the car already runs and drives perfect..  I bought the coug for 1100 dollars, you couldnt even get a trannie for that amount..





and the swappie



Wish me luck!!

lolz @ Tri and thanks blaze..  I really feel like it was the right thing to do..  I love may car and now i have 2 lol..  The black one is optioned out fully..  With a little body work it will be mint..  And as for the red one it will sit untill I can afford a standard trannie for it..  Wich is only about 5 or 6 hundred might get lucky and find another parts car lol..

YG, those look like FAST little cars you have there.

I caught alot of crap on the other forum about it, but most certainly will hang with just about any sports car ive ran em with..  This is my 3rd cougar Ie been through, if that means anything..

[Trinot]

Depends on what you call a sports car I guess. It won't hang with a lambo, but it will surely hang pretty close with a stock mustang v6 or similar. Besides, ask anyone that rides a motorcycle (like YG), if you wan't FAST (without breaking the bank) then a motorcycle is the way to go. My buddy had a brand new cougar when I was in hi-school, he put 18" rims on it that where like 9" wide, and that thing would take some curves. I saw him get the car on 2 wheels, I guess because the extra wide tires had so much grip. My 1986 chevy blazer with the 4.3L V6 would keep up with his car until we hit 55 or 60. My blazer was surprisingly fast though, not many of my friends cars could beat it until 50+ mph.

Yeah the cougs are actually set up factory with high grade suspension, for the fact it makes up for what its missing in the horsepower area..  Instead of breaking when your suppost to on a corner you just accelerate through it..  Ive taken some backroad curves at 50 plus with out any problems.. You want an adrenaline rush catch a couple G's coming around a corner in a car now thats ADRENALINE..  Yeah and its definately what you percieve as a sports car..  Lol I take it as a medium income sports car lol..

If it didnt rain sleet or snow I prolly wouldnt even have a car..  My bike is pure freedom, to do as you please, when you please..
