Glad you liked the pics. I have a few other cool ideas for pics. The Scooby is still in work. The manifold gasket needed replacement, and than it is pretty much done.

That car looks great in those pictures! Is it 100% perfect? No, of course not. But, it looks wonderful. I am jealous. That hood is sick and I am digging the STi wing.
The more and more I read the Mnsubaru forums, the more I feel like 90% of the guys on that site are tools (idiots.) Everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. That bandwagon is all about ripping you a new one no matter what. They piss me off. Most of them are ignorant as hell and a huge percentage of those guys haven't got a lot of car knowledge. The one's that do have car knowledge are just hell-bent on tearing that car apart.
Fu(k them.

Don't do anything rash. Wouldn't you rather have him take a few extra days as opposed to rushing to get it done? The bottom line is that it is nearing completion. You've waited long enough. I think the only thing that you should "drop the deal" is that when you get the car checked out, they say it is not in good shape. You have told him that you are not "agreeing" to buying the car until it is checked out first, right?

not really, he was like if you take to a dealer they are a competitor and will do anything to make you buy something from them. But i will tell them today that i will not pay the rest of the money until i get it checked out.

Here's what I think Taras should do. He's got about 17K to work with.
Cougar with high miles in good shape: ~$5K
Swap in a 3L from Chris: ~4K
Put in a supercharger: ~3K
Aftermarket clutch: ~700
Having $4,000 left over and owning a WICKED fast Cougar: Priceless :biggrin:

Yeah but why? Seriously he could buy much more performance for that much cash. He could find some nice used 90s turbo cars or put down on anything new.

wanderingmind
06-14-2007, 06:35 PM
Yeah but why?
Because the Cougar is one of the sexiest cars.
But, I know he's not going to do that. If I had 17k to spend, that's what I would do.
I am pretty sure Taras is going to get an SRT-4. He's always talking about how much he loves them, especially their exhaust.

Screw an srt-4 Go with and STI or an EVO you will thank yourself later for not owning a neon. Or he can look for a 1st gen DSM thats built to ****.
BTW whos black SC'd cougar is that? The guy from MN? And what kinda power is it making?

Oh and also if he wants another cougar theres a sweet ass black mtx with an escape 3l swap in for sale section by massiv and he could sweep it up for 10k and then buy the SC kit.

That cougar is SICK! I have no idea what John is talking. I hate srt-4's really. I will most likely end up getting an 03-04 wrx with around 50k.
If i do get my money back.

Neons are neons, ****. But i do like the idea of a cheap 4 cylinder turbo four door. But i hate how the exhaust sounds and i hate the interior.

I see my sarcasm wasn't sarcastic enough. I was kidding about the SRT-4.
That is Blackcoogs cougar. They are guessing about 270Fwhp.

Taras, I ran into that Prelude that we saw on Saturday night (the one that purged nitrous and I wanted to pull up next to him and tell him his car sounds like $hit.) I will have to tell you about it.

Yeah and you have to hand crank the rear windows in this "sports car" so if you get an sti just roll the rear windows if they pull up near you. Theyll get so ****ing pissed its halarious. On a serious note though what time are we meeting? 9ish?

That's my Cougar in the pics. I haven't had the car dynoed yet because I'm still working on the supercharger kit. Before the supercharger it put down about 220whp on the dyno (~265hp at the crank). With the supercharger I'm guessing it's in the 300whp range. The remaining work on the supercharger should be finished this week. I'm having a idler pulley bracket machined because I was having some belt slipping issues past 6psi. Once I'm happy with the kit I plan on selling a few if only to make back what I put into developing it. I'll put more info up on our site when it's finished: 3L Duratec (http://www.3LDuratec.com)
I'll have to get out to Porkies one of these times to meet up with everyone.
