Cougar's Garage - Doing the American thing.

Will do, it's the one just on the road out of Carson the the Media Centre.
Thanks man!

Cheers Jordan, I'll include you in it tomorrow then mate.

This might get awkward.

Out of the like billion posts here I don't remember a picture of the shop, I might be working at a rundown version of your shop, I had a plan in my story, so I wouldn't run out of stories, but yeah...

Awkward.

It's all good mate.

You bought a supra. Bitch its on. I need nos.

Got back home last night and showed Nicole around the car. She says I'm not allowed to buy anything else, everytime I come home I have a new car. Whatever. I told ehr she needed to come and get the Focus form Carson. We had a ride down in the Supra. The sun was setting and I had the windows down, it was perfect. We arrived in Carson and Nicole got in the Focus and I led the way home. Did some highway pulls on my way home. Might have got in a race with a BMW 3 series, I did a 2nd gear pull next to him and slowed for the traffic in front of me. He came and did a fly by straight past me. Couldn't have this briefcase wanker winning me. Kicked down to 3rd and got straight back on his bumper. Could see him checking his mirror, was just blipping the throttle to keep up. Gave him a bit of 5th gear action. Pulled to 140mph and had to get off the highway.

Today I was working with Jordan, he started yesterday but I wasn't around much. I knew that he used to work on trucks quite a bit. He was there before me, I opened up and got a few cars out to make space for todays work. He got straight to work, he was fine all day. Didn't slip up once. His Evo is coming along nicely too!

Later that afternoon, I was about to go for my dinner when our guy that does window tint arrived with some new tint from his suppliers. He wanted to know if any cars needed doing. I asked him to do the Supra for me, I took the truck out for food. Got back and he was just removing the film. It looked awesome! He stuck around for a while, asking about projects and stuff. I paid him and he left. Rest of the day went as usual, we closed up early again. Lack of work. The whole drifting season is coming back in now, and I want to do something that would bring the hoonigans in. Hopefully work something out soon.

As for the YB motor, not had time lately. Hopefully tomorrow!

If you need a hand with the YB let me know, I use to drift a RWD swapped Cossie over the pond.

May do mate.
You'd have to come to my hosue though, got it on a stand there.

Hehe no worries. got use to working around stand's now with this damn Evo engine. haha! only a month left

Haha, just let me know if I can help.

hey hows that mustang drift? your for sale thread reminded me that it was put in the game a few months ago, somehow I have not driven it yet.

I need to do a non BNB build of one immediately because I am broke on BNBH right now!

I could lie to you and say it's better than anything ever.
But it's not haha. I pulled 2nd gear in it, but I'm on 305's I think. I also took the twin turbo set up off it. It could do well, but with it being Horizon it doesn't feel nice haha.

yea i was figuring out lately that stock tires (and width) + close ratio rally trans = good for drifting if you want not a lot of power

I'll give it a go.

We'll I brought all the exhaust parts to the shop yesterday as I'll need the 4-stand to get under the chassis for installation and if you want to give me a hand dropping in the turbo intercooler and manifolds it'd be welcomed

Would love to trial the Supra sometime see how they drive.

Yeah dude, happy to help!

I will, as long as you give me a turn in your Evo.

Well you can hope in it now, it rides smooth as silk and very responsive...maybe a bit too 'twitchy' sometimes, but it's got no balls until the performance motor goes in.

Sold the Mustang today, just working out roughly the parts I'm going to be needing and getting some ordered.
Will update later today.

great read man, i need to get around to reading more of these stories

I sat here for straight hours reading every section...

Haha. Thanks guys.

Will update soon. Been working recently, has really taken it out of me.

I read all or Cougar & TRK's stories before I started writing mine.

Update, update! I'll try update tonight as well.

Not done a whole lot this week. Been sourcing parts for my Supra build, I've got a rough plan jotted down in the garage.
My plans so far are:
- Single turbo conversion
- 3.4 Stroker kit
- HKS cams
- Ported and polished head (will be done by Induction Performance)
- HKS Hipermax coils

And a few other things I wont bore you with.

I have a few parts already. I bought myself a Greddy T88H Turbo. Yes!



Going to see if Induction Performance travel, or when they are near Colorado. The reason I choose them is because a few of our customers have rated them very highly. The quality of their work is awesome. The way they make a huge BHP car feel like a calm daily driver. I'm not going to be daily driving mine, will cose me a fucking fortune if I do!

Also picked up some coilovers. They are HKS Type II Hipermax's.



Also bought a set of these.



As far as other parts go, I'm in contact with someone from HKS to help me choose what the best route to go down is. Should be done for the summer hopefully!

How she sits now.

Nice read Cougar, how much Horsepower are you thinking you want to put into it?

Around 800 - 850.

Damn looks like I'll have the slowest car of the Garage, we also got the same pair of shoes bro.
Nice update.
