Back Together Again

[Jeff51]

Well I got my Coug back together again. New struts Bat Euro Sport, a huge difference over stock. EBC rotors the rotors are much thicker then stock with Mintex AF pads I didn't figure I would ever heat up the 1144's to the point they would be really effective, and caster camber plates. I gutted my pre-cats and added the mil eliminators and went with a sport tuned Diablo chip.

Since I had the wide band O2 / dyno done before the chip was burned by Nikolas at Duratec Performance he was able to get it really close to the correct A/F ratio. After my wallet recovers I will be getting my cat dyno'ed to see what she makes now.

This is a huge difference over what Ford produced the Cougar as in the stock form. I only wish Ford would see it clear to make a sport version of cars for those of us who want them. I know now I need to update my profile with all the new stuff.

Nice! What are you planning next? I know you have somethin in mind that you want now. ;)

I'm still looking for a Borla Dual setup. That's what I really want, but they're so hard to find. Oh well...

I was thinking of getting a OPM FSB but the way it handles now slight over steer but stays really flat I don't know if I want to mess with the handling characteristics any further. I am talking to Rick for a optimized SVT TB. Then since all of these mods and install (bad back I can't do the work any more) I am into it almost 3G. So after my wallet heals I want to go for the body stuff. I am very fond of the body kit James has on his yellow cat.

Hey, how is it going up there with the back together cat?

[Jeff51]

the handling was noticeable different with both the RSTB and the 21 mm sway bar. It understeers now unless really pushing it, and late braking in a hard corner will cause the tail to come out. The extra power is great but a little harder on the tires.
