I want to find some 17x11s for the rear. The wheels have grown on me now that I polished them up and dropped it a little. Rear end is my main focus now. Think I'm going to throw the money at it and go 9". Long tubes , egr and air pump need to go away, tune and maybe ill put a ler on it (straight 3" sounds awesome though) are going to happen while I save for the rear.

First I need to get some o2 sims in it and pass emissions so I can get it legal lol.

I am really happy with it do far, just need to go a little faster.

Wreck it and now you have the perfect engine and trans for your 86 cougar.

All joking aside, I think we would see your fox more if you quit buying other cars.

Lol I'm only on 17-18 in 7 years. Honestly LS swap has been in my head for a while.

I suppose to each his own, but I have never been an F-Body fan.  They're about as interesting to me as an 87-93 Mustang...and those are snooze inducing.

Granted, the LSx motors can do their thing, but that's about it.

Anyway, not to be an ass.  I know it's exciting to have a "new" car. Enjoy it. ;)

Lol, Im with you on that. I am a huge fan of T-Tops, and the LS motors. Cheapest way into the game is a clapped out FBomb. Im not one for having cars you see everywhere, but you cant have everything all the time without a pile of cash so this will do for now.

LS1, T-56, T-Top having Hoosier awesomeness.



So the 89 needs to go away now. No more WWD for a while. First "big boy" car I've had and next to the GP, the most cookie cutter car I've ever had.

Now i have less reason to rush the Cougar and do it however I want later. Who knows, this drivetrain might end up in it.

3' all the way back, no cats, resonator, or ler... Its loud! 4.11s arent bad at all with 6 gears. Guess I need to start learning LS motors. Second GM Ive ever owned out of 17 cars, wonder how this one will go.

Time for more mullet and less sleeves.

Ive always wondered what it would take to make one of those work. Looks awesome man! Just dont think the Cougars trunk would take well to it.

Well I hit a crossroads. Im broke and I want to work on the car still. I had a junk spoiler laying around that Ive had for a good long while now. Well I cut it up and realized that it wouldnt work the way I had Intended it to. So I thought to my self.... Ill take a few bones and a tape measure aon a few tools to my local take a part.

I scoured that lot looking for a wing, hell even a feather would have worked! I ran down the lines looking for somthing that caught my eye... nothing. I hit the GM line and BAM I saw a late 80's camaro sitting there with its little ducktail style spoiler went a measured it out and it was a couple inches off no big deal ya know. So I bought it!

I paid, and went straight home to see how far my measurements were off. Well I tell ya, I took 1/4 inch off of each side of the main piece. Set it on the trunk lid and it fit so perfect it was unreal. The the side peices came into play. Well I had top shave them down quite a bit but nothing horrific. drilled some holes in the side of the bird (that was killing me to do) and everything lines up quite nice.

Ive always been a HUGE fan of the FMS ducktail wing but theyre becomming more and more scarce and I knew if I found one it was going to literally murder my wallet. So I figure for $15 bux I'd give it a try.








I still have some tpuppies to do to get everything fitting just right, hell its just held on there with frog tape at the moment anyway. But Im really liking the way it looks, Just a little subtle touch to the tail of my car. Now I know my accent color when shes all painted up nice its going to be satin black.

Whatcha'll think?

Sure enough


There is too much win in this picture. To follow up on my previous statement, your shiznit always gets cooler.
