Good day for modding

KingRoderick · 04-09-2008, 12:55 PM

It happens once every 3 months over here across the pond - the sun comes out on my day off! And I have an empty driveway!

Finally get a chance to finish all those jobs that have been bugging me for months on end, including why the hell my blowers are getting really pathetic.

I have found the reason why... looks like I have neglected the pollen filter

Anyone getting loads done on their cougars in America today?

Rod.

Car looks nice man. I've been thinkin about checking my filter as well, and that picture really makes me want to.

MOMO · 04-09-2008, 01:28 PM

That is nasty.
blower... i guess you are talking about your heater/AC?

KingRoderick · 04-09-2008, 01:31 PM

It is really easy to do.. once you know how! You just need a Torx screwdriver, a cross head screwdriver and about 15 minutes.

I found out the hard way that you do not have to take the wipers off to get to the filter either. Just a little tip for you guys to save loads of time.

I've taken the spoiler off today, as it needs a refurb - the cougar-s kit without a spoiler is not pretty

The car needs a clean too!

Yeah, I've had my cabin air filter that dirty before. I changed it shortly after I bought the car (had about 80,000 mi. on it) and it had apparently, never been changed. I know of a few others on here that have changed theirs for the first time and have found some pretty funny things in there. Like a dead bird/mouse/sockets/screwdrivers etc. Hahaha. I put an activated carbon cabin air filter in mine to reduce nasty smells from entering the car when i am using heat or a/c.

I like your cougar a lot. Only thing I can suggest is to move the tips up a little so they can blow exhaust straight out the wire mesh or something. But they aren't too bad, just a little low.

Im still waiting for some parts. New headlights, removing side molding strips, and a bit of checking under carriage (i got a loose heatsheild somewhere thats pissing me off). Of course the big spring clean is coming too.

KingRoderick · 04-09-2008, 01:47 PM

I've had that exhaust tip idea for about a year and a half now - never got round to doing it!

This is probably going to be my last few months with my car bless her, due to house/growing up etc.

I'll never get to do everything to it that I wanted to, which is sad. But hey, one day I'll be rich enough to buy and Aston Martin! :

I'm washing it now, always a bad idea because I fall in love with it all over again just after a polish!!
