The New Ride
#1
Hey guys, just thought Id post up with up to date info! Sold my Focus in early March, and finally pulled the trigger on a deal I've been working on with the previous owner since last November. I apologize for crappy pics but Its all I got so far, will take better photos once shes cleaned up!

Enough talking, here she is!









1998.5 SVT Contour

05 3L, D2 coilovers, custom 2.5in mandrel bent exhaust with Magnaflows, oem cf hood,some more..before the UIM, new BAT intake and 3L cams and a few other mods it put down 216whp and 198wtq, car with similar mods put down 220/220 so it should be around there! Will dyno it/new tune later this year :)

honestly, my number one choice was a 100% bone stock CSVT. Unfortunately, there are no good ones for sale right now, and I need a car (work, etc)..plus its not crazy modded like my Focus and gives me alot of options to make it the way I want :)

My Focus was a 2000, but I previously had a 98 Contour before that as well. Some might say its a step backwards but I see it as 5 steps forward and Im 100x happier with this car than I ever was with my Focus :lol: I guess since having one before it just stuck in my heart lol

thanks, the D2s are kinda noisy if you dont avoid bumps lol but its a smooth ride, better than my Focus with H&R race springs. Also, car is tucking tire front and rear and still goes lower but the sideskirt already is almost on the ground lol my foot cant fit underneath it fully.


As for a spoiler, it currently has a carbon fiber bmw m5 lip spoiler on it. Gunna stay that way for now, dont like the stock contour wing had it before on my old car and wanted to go spoilerless. debating picking up a full CF trunk

thats about right, stock SVT engines put around 160-170whp. This has a 3.0 swap which everyone does and before the 3L cams, st220 uim, bat intake and more tuning it put down 216whp and 198wtq

I wouldnt try to race anything crazy lol but it is a fast car. Once its boosted then I wont mind haha.

Plans for now are cowl cf hood, cf trunk, resonator delete, tinted tails, hid fogs, mainly interior/exterior stuff. Over winter it will be parked and probably be built for boost on a Nautilus Stage 3 kit- Clevite 77 main/rod bearings, diamond pistons, k1 rods, etc. :)

Absolutely not ! I was driving the other day behind a Civic with tinted tail lights and I must say that its owner most likely has a "rear end collision wish " . You could barely see any light through that tint . This in a cloudy day , on a sunny one , pretty sure they're invisible .
