I paid $35 shipped so not a crazy deal by any means. But meh.

This kid is going to be awesome at auto-x. Always looking ahead to the next set of cones.

I just got hip to the Sahlens weiners. I'll pick up some more for the motor pull next weekend if you want to stop by. And yep, wrinkle black. It always turns out well.

Yessir. Do you want it?

 

[RicoP5]

Yessir. Do you want it?

yep, pmd you

Evan, are you selling the whole exhaust or only the mid pipe? I maight be interested in the axle back/muffler.

 

[Lewis7789]

So far, AJ and Rico want the midpipe. I can sell you the "cat" back or just the axle back, Larry, no problem.

 

[hat1018]

Ok we can talk it over at the C-bus cookout.

 

[RicoP5]

Gut blaster? Again? Okay, done.Like I don't love that stuff too! Maybe she will whip-up something new also.

 

[Lewis7789]

Haha, she can bring whatever she likes. I just love that stuff.

I painted the muffler and tip black though. I can sand it all off if you like. I'll send you a PM.

[Lewis7789]

^^^ Why? I like the cut-out on the first one, like someone can actually put that in their lap. Haha. Nice, Cam.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Trying really hard to figure out if this was built, just to be built, or a merged photo of a bass standing in multiple positions

 

[hat1018]

Has to be a hoax sort of thing. That thing would be like 5 feet across and weigh a ton.

Is the engine used in an 02 Merc Cougar the same-ish as what you are going to install? My daughter bought this cougar and it has been a money pit. I am just wondering if it is the same engine because I might get the engine from the car when the car finally falls apart.

 

[Lewis7789]

Not that I'm aware of, Larry. The Ford Probe GT 93-97, Mazda MX6 LS 93-97, Mazda 626 (option) and 98-02 Mazda Millenia L all had the KL V6 over here.
