When did 2 doors get C pillars? Four doors have A, B and C pillars, 2 doors only have A and B pillars. :flame:


i thought pillars were what kept the roof up.  there's 3 unless you want to cut the middle pillar off a cougarbird and call it a "no-post?"  :D

well summers coming and I got sick of driving a mediocre car... so I went and bought a sn vr4 supercharger kit... it is installed now and is running good. good enough to completely and totally decimate a marauder with bolt ons... he tryed to pull a ricer flyby on me after I walked him from a stop... I waited till he was up to my door before I hit it... and I just destroyed him.... bad...

Rage thread is filled with rage.


YES!!!

Seriously, get that TC nose painted and fill in the bird on it and it will blend nicer.  Nice to see it's up and running as well as quick.

Personally I think getting a combustion engine to work at ALL with ford factory parts is impressive :o

Personally, I've heard of rather quite a few GM, Dodge, blah blah engines not being worth the time it takes to bad mouth them.
Why you gotta come shiznit on someone else's parade, anyway?
And one last thing...there's well more than just one "kind" of combustion engine, but I'm rather sure Ford only ever dabbled with the Internal Combustion variety...:flip:;)

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
