2000 Mercury Cougar Zetec 2.0l (turbo) ((update.. not turbo))
I'm Jonathan Mauterer, 23, and live out in Baton Rouge. This is my Cougar. I've been working on it for about half a million years (I'm now addicted to modding it). It's my first project car, and not a very popular platform. Most of my parts are made for a Ford Focus and lots of mod's to make them fit. I've spent more in parts than I paid for the car and I'm dead set on doing anything on this car that others have said is impossible.
About the Cougar.
It's got a 2.0l Zetec(4 cyl.). Put's out about 130hp stock.. Discs in the front drums in the back. I've taken all my seats out except the driver seat, I don't know why.. it wasn't quite the change i expected, but I've gotten used to it, so out they stay.. for now. The front is dropped about 2" from stock, and the rear is lifted about .25"

It's all about modification, power is just a by-product.
