New guy here

I thought I'd say hi to everyone before I started asking questions.

I recently acquired a bank repo '85 Cougar XR-7.  I haven't driven it yet since it has a bad turbo, but am anxious to get it going.

Welcome to the boards and good luck with your newly acquired mode of transportation.  Hope she doesn't give you too much trouble.  You'll have to post some pics!

Cool, another turbo Cougar!

Welcome.  Baxo has a VERY clean example of one.  I have an 84 XR-7 myself, but it's seen better days and is currently in storage until I get around to it.

I'd recommend visiting http://www.turboford.org and looking around for more specific 2.3T info....

Here are a few pictures to satisfy some of the requests I received.  I'm in the slow process of learning about turbocharged cars since the Coubar is my first.

And the T-bird is currently for sale too.  :)

Hello!  Welcome to our little club. Good luck with the Cougar.

Man, I'd keep the Bird! She sure does look good.
