About a year ago I got a 98 contour se with vct and a 5 speed for free. I'm pretty happy with my contour so far. When I first bought it I was like eh this thing's a beater, but then after I started tinkering I realized it has some balls to it. So far I've been banging out the minor stuff like gauges (sunpro 10k 5" with shift light, apc a/f meter and oil press in a pillar pod and a water temp near the cig lighter) , slotted discs(front, I need help with rears!), ripped out the a/c, cone filter, breather filter, a few other little things but now that I'm done with that I'm moving on to bigger stuff. I'm aiming for a quick daily driver that'll at least smoke hondas and keep up with stangs. So far on my wish list I have a 60mm throttle body (should I go 65?) 3" intake, 2.5 catback, 2.5" test pipe to replace cat, 4-2-1 maaaaybe 4-1 headers depending on the money situation, underdrive pulley, clutch and flywheel, adjustable gears, coil pack, plugs, wires, wire clean up all that good stuff. As far as wheels and suspension go I'm gonna have to say JDM all the way with the 15x7" rims and a 1.6" drop.
It's going to run me around 2 grand minus the rims but all I do is dump money in this thing. I was wondering if anyone had any good connections for parts or recommendations. Should I lose the VCT or keep it since I'm keeping it n/a? Should I use a larger MAF sensor? Should I use sr20 injectors? fuel rail/pump/press regulator? This is going to be my daily/occasional track car so I don't wanna be eating valves and blowing gaskets. Any input would be great! (and no I'm not turboing a car with 9.6:1 compression)
