What are you using it for? Racing, bashing? If it is the stock diff I would not go less that 10.5. If its the pro diff I think you could go down to 8.5. I would not go lower that though.

Yes it is a crime to put SV shocks on it! But who is going to arrest you? The fun police? I will be doing that to my C2W in the new year. I hope there are no clearance issues. The rears look a little tight with the body. Let us know how it goes.
If there's just one thing both CATS and I know - it's vintage schumachers buggies. I own 3 Cougar2 WORKS buggies and they are by far the cream of the crop when it comes to the alloy pan cars.
Just scored this on eBay Germany for less than 50$. I put a low snipe on it and never thougth I would win the auction actually. I have way too many on going projects and absolutely no spare time to wrench these days, but still I'm happy to add it to...

Yup, something tells me it's really nice under that mud. It was probably run a few times, then the front end was slightly crashed and the part was never replaced. The surprise will be a first look at the underside of the pan. We'll see, but can't be...
Just got this cheap off the bay. Not sure if it will be stripped for spares or run it.
Has red shock bodies ( not pictured) No shocks up the front so i quickly bolted up some alloy threaded shocks. Has a slipper too which is the main reason why i...
One of these is a standard 'original' Cougar. I bought the other one (with the fat wheels) -and it was advertised as a Cougar -it needed plenty of parts and it was very rough, but there are a few variations between it and my original Cougar. I seem...

I wouldn’t really say mongrel 😂 it’s just what we did back in the day as Schumacher produced conversion kits that were way cheaper than buying a whole new kit.
The whole Ali pan series from top cat through were pretty much interchangeable parts wise...
So am I the only one in the US still waiting (since June 10) for the re-re Cougar? I see several US residents on FB have them, even those who didn't get one from the first batch.
On a side note, it is awfully quiet here in the Schumacher section....

Did everyone who ordered back in the summer get their Cougar? I got mine last week.
I picked up a rough Cougar a while ago and today i started restoring it.
I think it was originally a Topcat as it has the Topcat motor cover and it came with loads of spares including some of the topcat shock mounts/levers and short shocks....

Paul,
As a guy who bought up Cougars from all over the world back in the day (I mean, early 2000s...), I have more than my fair share of Cougars and bodies - any pics or description of what yours was like?
