Thanks man, I really wanted to do a SVT swap in it with the 2.5 V6 manual but never got around to finding the motor before it was done so its only the 2.0 automatic. Hopefully I can do it before too long.

You could start with a nice set of SVT E1 wheels. Or even SVT Focus wheels.

You should continue the white line through the top of the headlight with an eyelid.

going from the 2L ATX to the 2.5 MTX is more work than its worth. would be better off doing the ATX to MTX conversion with the 2L and adding a turbo, it will make quite a bit more power than the SVT 2.5L. If you must go with the V6 then at least put in a 3L.

very nice, Have to agree with striker, a mtx swap with a turbo may be the way to go. Unless you can find a complete doner car to pull everything out of.

Ha, thanks for the help guys. I just don't know what to do. I want to give more power.

I wanted a Candy Red and Black two tone but got shot down by ny father for he was the one that painted it and he wanted to keep it cheap.
