[MaverickFlyer]

Welcome to the board!

How do you want to make it better? Power, handling, or Cosmetic?

Never heard of that color Cougar:shrug:

[Comando489]

umm first mod...
GMK cold air intake (buy this from Grand master kahn a member on this site)

2nd
trubends borla exhaust... sounds sexy and gives u some preformance..(only get the magnaflow muffler if u want EVERYONE to notice u at ALL times its that loud)

3rd
if ur real serious bout it get a 3L engine put in... cougars are really slow like that, and ur gona have problems beatin ur friends rsx without the swap...

[Comando489]

o yeah and shocks and struts, just to make it fun to drive lol

[carajo]

Never heard of that color Cougar:shrug:

Definitely not on a 1999. It's either Spruce Green or Dark Tourmaline Green.

[cougar4life]

Never heard of that color Cougar:shrug:

It's actually a nissan color. Looks a lot like dark tourmaline green.

[Rhino]

That would be a good reason why I have not heard of that color of Cougar

[Goldie]

It's actually a nissan color. Looks a lot like dark tourmaline green.
it'd be an honest mistake for someone new to cougars to make.

[cougar4life]

I wouldn't expect someone to know the exact color of a car unless they bought it new. I'm sure it was just listed as green when it was for sale. Most used car places just call them green,blue,red......

Purple....

My Escort, which was pretty much the same color as our Laser Red cougars, had a paint color called "Strawberry Fields"

I think my dad had an F150 that same color. I know the name had strawberry in it. I liked that color a lot.

[TheMurrayCougar]

Sorry, that's the color my friend told me it was. It's Dark Green if that makes it easier. So basically I need I/e and 3.0 swap to get started?

[cougar4life]

Then it is dark tourmaline green. I/E and a 3.0 would be a great start.

[Rhino]

Check out the section on 3.0L's

That would be a great start for you:thumbsup:

Good Luck

[TheMurrayCougar]

Thanks all.

[EternalOne]

Or you could go the more expensive forced induction route, with either a supercharger or turbo setup. There's quite a bit of info on the forums, don't let people push you into a 3.0 if you don't really want to get that deep into things... I know quite a few 2.5's that still toss ya back in yer seat. ;)

Edit: And welcome to the boards! :P (Forgot that the first post, lol...)

Of course, some people end up a custom color, like Vibrant White with "Blood Spatter Red" . . .
