Welcome!

What do you want to do? Most typical bolt ons are DIY.

Best thing to do is to make it to a meet, get to know local CEGers, talk mods, decide and have them help you install (usually for the price of a dinner!

basically, i want to upgrade the suspension with out lowering it

Okay, I'm a little late.

1995 Contour SE 2.5 I'm down here in Norfolk, VA. Have quite a few things in my trunk to put on the car, just no time to do it.

So far all I've done is installed a factory SVT exhaust, airbox and inlet pipe/K&N filter. I've got a DMD, updated oil pan, steel impeller water pump, SVT gauges, and a Superchip I need to get re-burned. Found some new Pioneer speakers to replace the factory ones also.

Those are good #s, but there are SVTs w/ intake and exhaust put down almost that much.

With just intake and exhaust on a 2.5?? I doubt it, but if they are, that is awesome. Most stock SVT's are putting down between 165 and low 170's. Those with just intake and exhaust are putting down about mid 170's. It is pretty easy on our cars to get to the mid and upper 170's, but past that it starts to get a bit harder. Remember, this is still a 2.5. I forgot to mention I am at 130,xxx miles as well. Numbers before gutted cats and I am still running the 'off the shelf' superchip and my A/F is way off (way off meaning not fine tuned).

RT, don't think I'll make it to the BBQ. Wish I could though. Y'all have fun and be careful.

Yes. Prime example is Officer Cartman's old SVT. KKM intake (not the most efficient) and a Bassani put down almost 180hp. Not all SVTs put down the same #s - some are fater, some are slower. I think I got a slow one.

Mostly Drive In: Germantown, Montgomery College Germantown Campus, and Francis Scott Key Mall in Frederick (and on 355 or on 270 inbetween)

The real challenge is breaking into the 190's on a 2.5 N/A.

I don't get on here very much but I do drive a CSVT and live in Maryland. The only mods are open air filter and Bat lowering springs, have not had the time or money to do anything else and now I'm at 130K + and am looking at replacing normal wear and tear parts. The clutch is next, I already bought one just need to get it installed now.
The car is my daily driver between home in Bel Air, MD and work in Washington DC.
Nice to meet everyone, hello from north-east MD.

Hey whats up guys, I am moving up to DC soon for a job and it looks like we have a few SVT nuts here.

Here is how my bucket goes..

99 CSVT
Silver
BAT Racing Springs
Koni Yellows
Quaife Diff
Upgraded shift forks
Fidanza Fly
Sachs Clutch
BF Goodrich Stickies

Looking for a BM short throw for it and possibly opening up its throat a bit other than the K&N. Also need to repair some abuse on my ground effects and possibly put a mirko front splitter on it.

If you guys ever go out and do stuff I'm game.

Is your car on "Cardomain" ? At the Dyno day we did back in Nov. a guy there said he saw a Contour from Westminster on there that had a Turbo but IIRC he said it was Silver and had the same hood as mine?

My son has his '98 E0 on car domain but it's black in color..I have seen a silver CSVT around Westminster a few times but I believe he's from Hanover,Pa...it has a large SVTCONTOUR decal on the front windshield.....

Do you ever seen Jim? He drives a green SVT down in harrisonburg. Lowered with aftermarket rims.

Hey, my Grandmother is in Fairfax, VA and it only takes me 4 hours to get to her place from here, so if there is a ever a meet coming up this spring let me know.

It looks like there is a lot more CEG activity in DC area than here in N.C. I have been reading this thread and I like what I see.

Nice rides everybody!!
