Got some work done today on the Sport, the weather was beautiful. Got the manual drivers seat track on, the non cruise TC wheel, the halo headrests in. Got the magnaflow exhaust on, everything except the tailpipes. Now here something that will make you go hmmm. I used an h-pipe off a '95 Mustang, and didn't have to lengthen the flow tubes. The lers lined right up with the factory hangers.:burnout::burnout:
I have fox H pipe and Fox Flowmaster/Tubes on my car and they lined right up too.
I wonder why some have to lengthen them?:hick:
Sweet. Getting there one step at a time.Now if you only had a 140mph speedo....................
We need pictures of that exhaust on the car please!!!!
Soon as I hit the lotto.....lol.;):D
I want halo headrests... With the direction I am planning to go with black seats with white inserts I think I need to find a pair of sport buckets. And to think there was a Fox Cougar in Pull-A-Part a few months ago that had a very salvagable set of sport bucket seats! Why did I not think to get them then? I guess because my initial plan was to use the original upholstry, but now I wanna make this car a much grander specticle than I had ever planned.
As soon as I get a chance to jack it up, I'll snap some pics.;)
Are you running cats? I have Magnaflow Bullet Style lers. I'll be running shorties, no cats and the bullets. All through an H pipe and GT Stainless Tails
I've got a set of gray halo headrests out of an Escort GT. PM if you're interested.
Pics of exhaust as promised :D, yea she's dirty.:shakeass:
Dear Lord....what's ll over the bottom of the car? Slimy looking.Maybe it protects against rust.
Oh,I thought you were using tail pipes?
Didn't have time to get the tails on, will be putting them on when I change the rear springs and shocks. Yea, she's greasy, was very neglected before I bought her :punchballs:. She'll get fixed and cleaned up as I have time.:burnout:
How do you like the sound with the new lers?
I remember when I had mine dumped like that. No need for stereo in the car. It's a start. You got the idea.
Pretty nice, deep and mellow, not too loud. :burnout:
Lol, it's really not bad on the highway, no droning. You can tell it's got dumps, but not bad.:D Will be great when I get the tails on though.;)
Thanks for the pix. I was curious as to how the flow tubes matched up to the h-pipe without being lengthened.
Latest addition to the Sport. It's actually the original fx piece, from when the Sport was new, it came back home...lol.:D:burnout:
The white Sport needed a tune up , MSD cap and rotor, 9mm Ford Racing wires, Motorcraft plugs, The MSD was only $5 more than the store brand, so....:burnout:
One step closer.
What are the future plans for this car? Engine detailing,performance mods?
something along these lines, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/498404 someday.....:bowdown:
i remember that car from years ago.
you can put an 87/88 TC front on an 87/88 Cougar??? Really???? hMMMMM
Why yes, yes you can...:evilgrin:;)
Newest additions, I'll get better pics later.:burnout:
great work !! I did the same mods to the Sport.Every little piece counts. I'll be installing the Sport's new outer door handles later today. One piece at a time. How do you like that new dome light.WAY better than the stock light,huh?
Love the dome light, light years ahead of the stock one. Looks better, and lights up 5 times brighter that the old one. Might change out the carpet tomorrow, and dye the headliner we'll see. :burnout:
what's the clock out of... I like that...
That's a trip minder sir.
