HEY!!

[BabyGurlRacing]

Hey guys,
i'm new to the forum but im excited to find so many people as into their cougars as i am. I have a black '01 MTX cougar that was actually just recently in a wreck while one of my friends was driving it. It needs a complete overhaul on the body and i'm looking for all kinds of suggestions. Currently i have 17" Enkei CDR9 rims, toyo proxes, henshin x1 fenders but im looking at the millenium kit with a ton of other mods. I cant WAIT to get it back. One main thing is i am looking to lower it and am open to any suggestions on what type of springs to use-i have heard mixed comments on intrax and B&G but i also found vogtland and was wondering if anyone had any experience with those. THANKS!!

First off..Welcome to NECO. You'll find a lot of useful info her eon your trek to customizing your cougar. You might want to ake a look at the Suspension Section and maybe use the search feature there for getting info on springs...I've never heard of Vogtland springs before?? You wouldn't happen to have a link to them online would you??

Once again..Welcome and have fun. :biggrin: :wave:

I just wanted to say thank you for all the great info i've been getting from you guys. It's refreshing to be taken seriously about my car-All the guys i know wont give me the time of day because im a girl- but thats their loss. They'll be crying when my little "girly" car comes out this summer :biggrin:

[wadespencer99]

Welcome. Get some pics of your car in progress up!

Oh yeah...and cuff your friend that wrecked it! :slap: :rofl:

[BabyGurlRacing]

It was my ex-boyfriend-NOTICE EX (he wrecked my car) ..haha. I am going to the body shop this week to get pics of my car now, during and after the restorations. I cannot wait. I need her out by summer-gotta show all the boys up..haha jk. Ill be sure to post them as soon as i get them-its a sad sight to see but it will only get better. This is the 2nd cougar i have owned. The first was a 99 I4 MTX, but sadly i was pushed into a guardrail while i was racing at 115mph by some honda-he didnt even stop to see if i made it-That car saved my life. So i had to get another one.

good girl, you need to up some pictures of the coug.

[BabyGurlRacing]

I am hoping to get down to the body shop soon to get some pics of it now during and after its done getting the work done...its a very sad sight right now :(

[GrandMasterKhan]

lets see some pictures of it. maybe we can offer some suggestions?

btw Replace ALL oem bumpers with a body kit front and rear. you actually save money that way (unless you've already thought about that hehe)

[BabyGurlRacing]

I am going to be replacing everything i can with the millenium kit!!!! i cannot wait!

[hamill]

Once you get the millenium kit you'll have to get bigger CDR9's :) I allmost bought the 17's myself, but ended up with 18's.

Welcome to the boards though, and post up those pics, wrecked or not :)

[BabyGurlRacing]

I really dont want to put 18's on my car-is it just going to look awkward with the 17's or what?

[seven]

that kit is rather large.... best bet is to go with 18's..19's or hell.. even do 20's

[BabyGurlRacing]

I'll have to decide once i see the kit on my car i guess...i just cant wait to see my car on the road again-kit or no kit...:biggrin:

[hamill]

It's just because of the flares :)

With 17's and those flares, your 17's are EASILY going to look alot smaller.

But yeah, I know the feeling of just wanting to get the car on the road. Hopefully everything works out smoothly for ya.

[BabyGurlRacing]

Thanks i really hope so too...and the quicker the better!!
