How's the build going OP?
I actually like the look of the original "box" style intake in there, makes me kinda want to switch back. Really keeps the engine bay cleaner looking......
You like it so much I will trade you!! To be honest, it has one broken clip and is ready for the junk pile. For now I have the SVT intake pulled and ready to go.
How's the build going OP?.....Pretty good. I am making progress. The SVT wheels and newer Goodyear’s are on. That made a big difference. Drives nice! Looks wise, it needs lowered now!! I can drive in comfort with heat!! And the rear sway bar does not bang against the sway bar mount. That was getting really old.
The side skirt on the drivers’ side is just OK. It’s part torn in half at the front. Installed up OK and looks OK, not perfect, so I may look for a new one here.
Rear bumper sag…yes! Just need a second pair of hands to lift on it while I snug it up.
Anyone know what’s needed to mount the SVT gauge cluster in a 96? Search comes up with; it wont work to take it all apart and swap gauges out one by one to it will only partially work. It was mentioned above that I need to scrap off some part of the green circuit on the back and it should work….
The exhaust should go on next. I am just to figure out what to do while its out. I could work on it very easy BEFORE I put it in the SE. For sure remove the resonator and I think the SVT cat is bigger, so find a way for that to happen…2 bolt to a 3 bolt or flex pipe??? How do you remove the center bolt on the bracket?(red arrow)
The rear drivers door will also go on next chance I get the SE back into the garage. Right now the SVT is up on jack stands in the garage. Its looking like zero degrees the next few days!!
The neighbors/friends are now asking question!! What happen is the most common. Funny, because when it was all banged up and so close to just being junked, nobody even noticed the poor old Contour. Does not help when its 4 different colors!
