My Rides, has it been that long.....

....since I've been on the forums?

I don't know how many of you are still here or remember me, but I figured I'd take some time to post some pics of my current rides (some new, some old). Enjoy!!!

Good to see you again Chris ... and as a long-time member of CEG may I say it's great to see you still have the Contour.

Looking good Chris! I remember drooling over your site for Escort parts back in the day... I've always loved your Contour! And the MS3 is hot too... Smile What's done to it?

Thanks Ryan. Only a couple of aesthetic mods on the MS3, wheels, tint, and led interior lighting.

I have plans for the MS3, but since I have a second driver on this vehicle, I have to limit myself to what I would like to do with it.

Thanks, and as for the SRT4, you're not going to find one with such low mileage either, less than 3500kms. Big Grin

At some point in the future, I will be installing D2 Racing coilovers. I've had these sitting new in box for quite some time.

As far as big turbo, I'd like to, but I have a big turbo car already so I'm probably just going to do bolt ons to the SS, say 300whp will do. Wink

I might be willing to sell them, but I'd have to research another suspension option first. Wink he can contact me at chris@ctamotorsports.com.

not too happy with my D2. the front adjustment sucks big time, no actual height adjustment, only pre-load. it's great if you want ground scrapping low into airbag territory, but not for daily driving. the rear has no trouble at all. and in the pics u r missing the rear shocks.

My D2 kit has height control on all four corners, and I don't have to preload the springs to do it. The shocks are in the box in the bubble wrap.

My Dodge has coilovers, and I have taken a ride in another Cobalt SS with D2 Coilovers. The ride was stiff but was acceptable given my experiences with two different brands of coilovers I have (and tried) in my SRT4. I also have another set of D2 front springs, softer, just in case the ride is too harsh for my liking.
