New Member! ADDED PICS! Reply #15 – January 17, 2008, 06:25:57 PM Hey come on down join the insanity! Yeah that was schlodes' car I think. I remember him putting it up for sale. Real cool, that's the only way to get a 87/88 with a 2.3T. Very unique (and useful too!!! ) Quote Selected

New Member! ADDED PICS! Reply #19 – January 17, 2008, 09:06:14 PM Yeah I immediately recognized the car when I saw "87 cougar turbo". I really hope you keep the 2.3 in it. Its unique. Not to mention it hawls bawls. Quote Selected
New Member! ADDED PICS! Reply #20 – January 17, 2008, 09:59:51 PM He advertised the car on this board. I think you should change the springs in the front because of the change of weight from the 5.0L and the 2.3L. Great car though. Congrats.http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=17044&highlight=1987+turbo Quote Selected

New Member! ADDED PICS! Reply #22 – January 18, 2008, 11:14:46 AM Ya know, it just feels weird to me to see that engine in that car. Lol, not that I don't like it -- I think it's sweet actually. You just expect to see an H.O. or something in a car that looks like that. Quote Selected

Looks mean that wayi love the ride height, it's going to sit how it is forever! lol i'll never drop it. i love everything about it, especilly the paint. black with red pin stripe.. wow... i plan to do some interior work, like put the original seats back in, get a 3 gauge pillar pod (throw boost, temp, and fuel in it) and then get an autometer tach and speedo in the main cluster. and i'm still waiting on my headlight covers! and i'm going to have a friend of mine restore the headlights.. fox bodies always need the headlights polished :P i'd love to pick up another fox cougar to drop the 429 in.. it would be quiet the collection! ps the 429, if i can find a bellhousing, with be bolted up with a 6 speed :D Quote Selected

Reply #26 – January 18, 2008, 12:31:12 PM the car will not be moded at all this year, unless i can find an 8.8" with maybe 4.10 gears, subframe connectors (which i have priced out already) and i'm looking for a 10" wide slick on either draglites or prostars... as well as a pair of matching skinnies, which some are floating out there but the price.. i need to sell my draglites (with practically brand new tires!) first lol Quote Selected
