109,000 mi on body with second engine, blew the first with nitrous. New engine had around 58,000mi when installed.

Replaced the clutch disk when I swapped engines. Other than that, just plugs and wires. I think I've replace the fuel filter twice, I need to do that again soon. I'm even still using the stock wipers. I don't push the car hard anymore though, because of gas prices.

Seems to me I'm lucky that all my breakdowns were self inflicted so that way the car doesn't deside to break down on it's own.

DUDE WHERE the hell you been the past year?
Man I HAVE to check your cougar out before something by God's will happens to it. I need some idea & advise on future mods to the zetec.

I am the first owner, but I bought it used. Guess how that happened

The car is a 99 with 53xxx miles on it, I don't drive it much except on the weekends when nothing is being done to it. I've blown the engine within 1 week of owning it and I bought some extended warranty for like $200 and they replaced it with a brand new engine. I've also blown up my stock differential about 2 years ago and that shredded my transmission to pieces so I bought a 2002 Tranny with 10k miles and upgraded to a SPEC stage 3 clutch, Fidanza Flywheel, uprated shift towers with ball bearings. Surprisingly I have not changed out my alternator yet.

I usually treat my Cougar very good, and I never plan on selling her, so I'll be around for a long time with her
