Maybe "driven to church on Sunday's by a little old lady" HAHAHA who knows !!!

Being down the coast, there is so much money down there that I would say it may well have been put up on blocks as part of a collection...there are some very rich and eccentric people down the gold coast....

Hey guys, can anyone tell me the colour of the genuine eibach springs in the cougar eibach? and how the front lip spoiler attaches to the bumper? Also is there any quick way too tell if your eibach is genuine?

thearrow · 30-10-2007, 05:22 PM

On the side skirt of the body kit there should be an Eibach sticker written in Script.

The spoiler is attached by whole seires of screws although I can't guarrantee this because it is about year since I was underneath mine.

STANG_V6 · 01-11-2007, 11:15 PM

yup, got the eibach stickers on the sideskirts, even got spare stickers from ford, still in there Ford parts bags, only thing my eibach diddn't have was the front spoiler, got one in from Ford in melbourne, 1 of 2 left in Aus

: just gotta get it painted and fitted. P.S...thought this might interest some ppl, archived site from FTE http://pandora-test.nla.gov.au/parch...meset6d3c.html bare in mind fragments of the site are missing.

thearrow · 02-11-2007, 02:20 PM

It sure sounds like you have a genuine car. I wonder why the front spoiler was removed but on second thoughts probably because they are so low at the front. The previous owner maybe had it taken off.

When you put yours on you will have to be careful as it is very,very easy to damage it.

If you are interested I am missing a drivers side sticker and would be happy to take it off your hands (for the right price of course).

The site you mentioned is interesting I wonder if any of the dealers have any of "the gear" left. I would love one of the watches.

To all COUGAR CRAZYS the Cougar is the best car in the world.

:

I have had mine for THREE years and I still love it and so does every body else. Especially those who dont have one

I am still beating all SS holdens at the lights.

Cougar_Cougs · 03-11-2007, 11:54 PM

I would love to know how, and where you got your stickers .So I can get some "JUST" in case.

How would I get a copy.

My Cougar is a limited Tickford Eibach 2000 Cougar only 100 released.

The duallies are added by the original owner ?? because the motor is chipped.

Which chip?

Cougar_Cougs · 15-11-2007, 11:31 AM

The Power Chip Gold. When you hit 4000rpm hang on because you will fell the kick & your out of there.

:

The best I have done with the right fuel 0 to 100 in 6secs :eclipsee_ :evil3:

You simply must post a dyno run...that chip sounds like it makes the right sort of changes.

thearrow · 16-11-2007, 11:40 AM

Cougs I meant to ask about your chip.

Where did you get it? What did it cost? Who installed it?

In other words please give us all the details.

XR5-Boy · 16-11-2007, 06:38 PM

yes, full details please. and car details too. Manual or Auto? any other performance upgrades please.

Dshibi · 16-11-2007, 06:41 PM

I've been considering getting one, just the rise in power figures alone is tempting enough. Just haven't got it up there as a priority for the moment.

From memory, about $1000.00AUD and there's two levels. Gold is for those who don't mind running 98 Octane (which I think most of us do anyway)...

Cougs, I can't remember which PFM issue, gimme some time and I'll find out which one has your Cougar in it.

On a side note, Mark's Cougar's boot and bonnet can be sighted in the latest Street Fords magazine which has the NSW AFD in it. Not worth buying the magazine for, but it's in there.

Cougar_Cougs · 17-11-2007, 11:04 PM

The Power Chip.

Supplier POWER CHIP 106 Tope St South Melbourne.
Brent Macfarlane ph 1800002220.

Dont know who fitted it. It was done for the previous owner in Canberra in 2001

Gold is for those who don't mind running 98 Octane this is true.

It cost $935.00 in 2001.

The original owner wanted to turbo it but it meant putting the battery in the boot to be able to fit the turbo properly.

The orignal owner spent a furtune on MY now COUGAR. The duallies, Cruise control & the usual paint & leather protection.

Tickford lowered the car 20mm, 17inch rims body kit, Eibach sports suspention, & ?? a better bracking system.

It was Tickford last hurra called the FTE range that included the TS50s. Before ford start to mod ther own cars the Ford Peformane range the BAs,

The rest you know because you all have one.

Also the eibach cougars in 2000 was the first cars in Australia to have side air bags plus the usual ones.

Also its manual

:

pcperfection · 18-11-2007, 12:54 AM

Hey Cougar_Cougs, can't help but notice a few things that sound familiar
1) I grew up in Cronulla (14yrs) + another 10yrs around the Shire
2) Born in the same year
3) My brother is a paramedic down the Gong
4) And both Cougar owners

Will have to catch up one day

Cheers
Mark (Cougar)

cpapashley · 18-11-2007, 11:21 PM

ahh, a manual now that would be nice.....

TheCougar · 06-12-2007, 08:43 PM

hey everyone i bought myself a cougar 2 weeks ago and been tryin to find somewhere to get info for parts and what not, looks like i found the right place. still yet to see another cougar around, seem to be fairly rare. i gues thats why finding a wheel that fits the stud pattern is such a pain, eventually found a nice set with alot of searching

Dshibi · 06-12-2007, 10:21 PM

Welcome TheCougar! Yes, we own beautiful cars, but they can be quite a challenge to find parts and mods for. Can't wait to see some pics of your car, and what rims did you decide on?

If you're in the Blue Mountains, would be great if you want to come along to the Bathurst EuroFord Cruise in the middle of this month

Check out the EuroFordClub section for more details.

Dan

TheCougar · 08-12-2007, 10:44 AM

I ended up getting a set of, lenso CF 18" they suit the car nicely, ill get some pics up as soon as i can just waiting for this weather to clear up so i can give it a wash, ill check out the details and if i have the time i would defently come along,
How hard and expensive is it to find and get body kits put on??
