hows it goin everyone. im new to the forum. i got a 98 contour SE, had it for about a year now and finally have some time and money so i can do some work on it. all iv done so far is i added a new head unit and speakers, a spoiler, factory one tho nothing tacky, and for fun i added in the general lee horn. i really enjoy workin on my car, so if you have any suggestions on how to clean it up a bit for cheaper id love to hear it. iv been reading as many threads as i can lately and iv gotten a whole list of new things i want to do now.

Post some pics of your car ;). And don't worry, we don't like flashy park-bench spoilers on here :laugh: . Welcome to CEG!

Nothin wrong with that. I used to have a 96 tour with a Zetec and ATX, and I think I miss that one more than I would the one I have now.
Welcome! :)
Good to hear that you are reading the threads, learning about the Contour and getting ideas.
Yeah, nothing wrong with having a 4 cyl.
Post a picture of your 'tour.

Click on "User CP" in the top left of the page, and then click on "Edit Signature" on the left column. Photos aren't allowed :(. It's always good to have that in your sig that way people always know what kind of car you have, very helpful when you're troubleshooting! And FYI, the 2.0L = Zetec and auto tranny = ATX. Just use my sig as an example :p

it may be becuase im still awaiting activation from the admins, but its not there for me
Correct, that is why you can't add a signature, you need final activation. That will happen very soon.
