Hey all.

I've been searching around for a little while and finally decided to register.

Anyway I'm a big fox ford nut and have owned a few over the year's. My most recent purchase is a 85 cougar XR7 2.3t auto car.

I have not recieved the car yet I'm still working on the deal but I should have it by the beginning of march.


The car is red with the opal grey interior, 2.3t auto and pretty solid for being 20+ year's old.

Plan's call for a 5spd swap, LA3, 35's, intercooler, 3 inch exhaust and a dyno tune. Then hopefully I will uograde the brake's and suspension. The XR7 will be my new driver/cruiser.

The rest of my stable consist's of a 85 SVO 9L with the usual mod's. T04E turbo, LA3, 46's, exhaust etc etc and a 86 Saleen #120. The Saleen is sporting a 306 H/C/I and a sigle turbo set up from PTK.

The board is pretty cool, except for some of the 2.3t bashing. :nono:

Anyway I'm not new to the fox mustang but pretty new to the fox bird/cougar so I'm sure I will have a few question's for everyone.

Dont think so. I'm getting it from a friend in Kansas. He is building a 85 GT mustang open track car to race with the NASA boy's and I just happen to have alot of the part's that he need's so we are doing a little trading/swapping.

i'm going to have to agree with you. She is going to make a excellent stable mate for the SVO and the Saleen.

I love the Saleen.  So pretty.  The SVO is nice too, but I'm not that big of an SVO fan, although there are some here that love them.

Thanks.

SVO's. You either love em or hate them. the styling and small displcement engine are not for everyone. but IMHO you really need to own/drive one to understand what they are about.

thanks man. That pic of the Saleen was mor of a test fit. I still need to clean up the bracket's, pull the A/C compressor and get some powder coating done.

Hopefully it will look a little cleaner that it doese.
