84 XR7's new home.....my garage! August 26, 2007, 10:42:41 PM Well, I went and bought it. $650 bucks and I drove it home. I need some help with it though because I know NOTHING about the turbo or the system it has. Here are some pics.Brian Quote Selected
84 XR7's new home.....my garage! Reply #1 – August 26, 2007, 10:45:27 PM here is one of the interior. After being cleaned I am sure it will look much better. The car has NO RUST WHATSOEVER! I was looking for some and couldn't find any. But the turbo doesn't spool up until like 2500 rpms or higher, plus it doesn't like to run after being started up initially. They look cool side by side in the garage together. Hopefully tomorrow I will have little Cougarbirds running around.:D Brian *edit* Yeah, I know, ghetto steering wheel, soon to be changed.

Good score.As far as the steeing wheel goes...I should have a useable "proper" wheel with the Cougar logo..... Looks like this one...I had one in the XR-7... Quote Selected

The only kind I like as far as the cougar and birds steering wheels are. More sporty looking I guess. Let me know how much via PM if your interested in getting rid of it. Thanksbrian Quote Selected

I have NEVER seen any other birds or cougars with them. I almost thought that I had something special but no one ever said anything. So of course, neither did I. You would be the man if you could get me one. brian Quote Selected

Reply #9 – August 26, 2007, 11:34:34 PM Quote from: stuntmannick;172213Very nice scoreQuote from: 84 Fila;172214Nice score B man!Yeah, I got pretty lucky, though the wife is not too sure about it yet. As soon as I pulled it in the garage, it peed anti-freeze all over. Not the best thing to do in the new house. As soon as I get all the bugs worked out, she will be happier. So far the gas mileage is amazing in it. 109 miles and it hasn't dropped past the full marker yet! I am LOVING that. these 2.3t's may be what you all say they are....brian Quote Selected

Obviously cruise wasn't an option if you had one of these. However, my 84 XR-7 did have cruise, but it was mounted on the stalk and not the wheel. Perhaps it was dealer added.I'll try and dig it out and get some pics tomorrow. Quote Selected
