Mark 7 guys make center caps for stang wheels to make up for the fact you have to make a hole. I bet if you took some mark 7 center caps you could make them work. Hell I just changed the wheels on my car, Ill sell you my centers for you to mess with if you want. Cheap too.

I don't care i like the car has a few things that are more than meets the eye. Its a laid back kind of car but its no joke if you want or need to race and its still got some top-end even with the 3.73s.

I would never trade or sell of this car if i can help it it may not be 100% what i want but its worth much more than what i paided for it.

I complimented your new car. I really like it, I think those wheels look amazing on there. I didnt not like the paint job on your car and you bought that Vortech and spent all that money on L.E.D.s and amps and capacitors. This Bird is a  NICE car and I can see adding a few gauges and power adders. If you make the money you do then buy some decent Autometer gauges, you rattled off about buying a bunch of Sunpro stuff. Not to dog on their stuff but its cheap. The Cougar you bought/are buying, that thing is a good platform and I wouldnt blame you for painting it all up and doing alot of custom stuff, just please leave this car looking the same and do drivetrain mods and maybe stereo or subtle interior mods. Thats the first time Ive spoken my mind. I know you gotta take shiznit when on forums and there I was the one dishing it out. Love the new car, just please leave the paint for the Coug.

Wow.

This could have been TONS shorter if:

Carunpimp had just waited to start the  thread until he GOT the new car and had not elluded to being "UberFoxTbirdCougarPioneerGuy"

If you post up mods of arguably questionable expect comments on a public forum.  You wanted comments anyway...Unfortunately for you they are not the kind you wanted.  BooHoo.


You do things other people here won't.....OK, great.

Most of us won't jump of a 50 story building......Are you gonna do that next?

lol...dropping an SBC into anything does not a pioneer make....in fact, it'd be a more accurate statement to say that the pioneers probably put one in a Conestoga wagon to go west...welll...errr..maybe not..but fact is...since the second day the SBC came into existence, people have been slapping them under the tin of almost everything, fer chrissakes, there's even motorcycles with the  things!

Pioneer? nahh...
I'm not knocking his engine choice, and this ain't even that thread...
But Carppimper...i agree...leave the Bird sleeperish...that paint was odd, to be nice.
But, at the end of the day, it's your car, you'll be the one getting the hate mail over it. :D

That SBC was a good motor and he had the parts laying around.

Who on this site keeps talking about putting a AMC 401ci motor might be a pionner.

In the Last 2 weeks i got 6 Xbox360 games and 1 nintendo Wii game wait and 2 DS games also about 5 more HD DVDs and 3 or 4 CDS and a set of cobra valve covers for $65 for the new T-Bird some new headlight blubs and more vinyls and a UPR cold air kit and UPR SFC's and some hood pins so even when i waste money without caring at all what the hell i buy i still do a good job spending money on the T-Bird.

But in all honesty the bank still owns this car so right now i might as well spend most of my money on the XR7. I still take good care of the T-Bird and why the hell would i or should i buy much more for this car if its on a bank loan for right now.

Thanks for all the nice things said about the car but i have a super bad habit of spending money and after the wreck in my 87 i still don't see a point of spending every last dime on a car. Even back in the day even with all those parts i could have a nice car but i allready got way to much money tied up in my rides.

man your retarded.......  if you have all this money to throw at video games like a 12year old....  why the Fack, dont you save up and PAY OFF the  car??!??! 

great so you bought some more ricer decals, and a cheap ass cold air kit and subframes....  "but hey, I just spent $300 on video games so I cant afford the good stuff for the bird.  I'll just make it look rice by throwing the cheapest shiznit at it, and as much of it as I can."....

it really was not that much spent less than $300 on games movies and cds and over $300 on car stuff so it really was not that bad.

Find me a better cold air kit.....go right ahead

Also if i want to paint the whole car white is that ricer or would that be the same thing as your cougar xr7?

also i just got the blue and sliver paint for my XR7 today at cost so it should look very nice.

Agreed. Id put all my money toward payments and pay off your loan. The quicker you pay it, the sooner its all yours and hey you'll have a great credit rating. Hell if you want send me some  money. Most people buy one video game and it lasts them quite along time for playing. Dont whine about not being able to mod it because you have a lein. You have money just spend it wisely.
