WoooHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[NorCalCoug]

Yay! UPS r0x0rs. ;)

I got my first mod today, right here, sitting next to my desk. It's long, it's stiff, it's a little crooked and has to big round things attached to it.

It's my OMP front strut brace. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

And it's.... red? :shrug: Ah well, I guess it's good I'm not going with the F1 Cups and a 'yellow' scheme.. ;)

Dev, remind me to call you when I get my ov3n/h4ns3n. :)

[BRANDY]

[DEVIOUSDEV]

Congrats mike:biggrin: I can't wait till they come out with their rear one, so i can go with the combo deal:biggrin:

[MrFroge]

Hay Norcal, are you should that is the correct OMP front brace??? :rolleyes: I'm never heard of A RED ONE for the cougar.. strange:shrug:

[DEVIOUSDEV]

Actually that IS correct, they just changed the coloring on them like last week I think... and from now on they're all gonna be Red:biggrin:

[NorCalCoug]

It looks right to me (though I suppose there are some issues where you have to tighten the bar a bit to get it to fit right?) and there appear to be some clearance issues with the A/C tubing (or the EGR valve if I turn it around the wrong way). But the model number on the sticker is 1753 (Ford Mondeo), but on the OMPUSA.com website, its says 1753 is for the Contour, which I was told would fit the Cougar just fine..?

[DEVIOUSDEV]

Yup yup yup and yup.....it'll fit just fine:biggrin:

You obviously didn't do your homework on this mod bro, as you WILL have to slightly bend the AC line to get it to fit right;) JK When you gonna install it?

[NorCalCoug]

Not sure when. I did do research, but when I did my search, I realize I forgot to hit the 'select all' for the category to search in, hence I came up with nothing in the 'Audio & Visual' section on the OMP. ;)

I will install when I find a flat place to park. I might do it at work with the help of my coworker, or I might wait for a weekend and make you guys help me. ;) I really want to install the rear STB first, if it ever gets out of the damn UPS warehouse in Illinois. :mad:

[DEVIOUSDEV]

That sucks.....well you can come install it here in the parking garage tonight;)

How long has it been sitting in the warehouse? and why do you wanna install it first?

[NorCalCoug]

I'd go install it in the parking garage with ya tonight, except that I lack a drill and a punch. ;) I wanted to install the rear first because to me, the rear needed stiffening before the front did.. but if you have all the necessary tools, I could be persuaded to enlist your help.. :biggrin:

My ov3n/h4ns3n has been sitting in a UPS warehouse in Illinois since the 8th, according to the online web-tracking.

[DEVIOUSDEV]

I have a drill, bits and a socket set;) All in my dorm room;)

But did you want to paint it another color first?

[NorCalCoug]

Nawp, I'm fine with the red. It's going to match my Superleggeras just fine. ;)

SINCE this is turning into a chat, if you're being serious, call me. ;) Otherwise I can wait with no problems. ;)

[DEVIOUSDEV]

[NorCalCoug]

Thanks for the help, mang. Dat shiznits r0x0rs. :biggrin:

The front definitely felt more solid on tight turns. ;)

[DEVIOUSDEV]

You're gonna have to let me drive it;)

[NorCalCoug]

Sure. ;)

[TheChauffer]

is that a good idea?

[NorCalCoug]

Not a big deal, he'll be leaving his keys behind with me in case he fuc|<'s up my car. ;)

[TheChauffer]

Even then i wonder if that is a good idea. you might be better off with a wrecked coug.

[NorCalCoug]

True, I might get blinded by his dash. I'll have to do this at night ;)
