$200 buys you a....

I wouldn't put sideskirts or anything on there that adds extraneous weight with no benefit, even looks. It's a Zetec ATX...cut the weight everywhere you can! Amazing for $200, though. I'd have bought it just to take apart.
 
Cut weight? For what? It's not for a race, it's for fun. Do anything you want to it of course keeping costs minimal. Too bad it's not an MTX for the mountain areas.
 
Yeah represent Contour... hahaha. I bet it will be a ton of fun.. i would get a K&N drop in.. and a battery.. maybe even some spark plugs

GOOD LUCK!

Edit: lol put some hub cap spinners...

I will probably hold off on the K&N. According to this thread, the cost/hp gain is ridiculously high for the filter. I'll probably save the money and buy an underdrive pulley if anything.

As far as weight goes, it's a rally not a drag race. If I have the time to mount the skirts I probably will, if not...then I won't.

We just got back from picking the car up. The rear wheel on the drivers side was locked solid. It drug for the entire 20 feet until it hit the lip of the trailer where it finally broke loose. **whew** It didn't help that all that crap in the gutter was getting pushed along in front of the tire. Dirt, pine needles...it was HEAVY! We finally got it pushed out of the way too and the going was much easier.

More updates as events warrant!

Cut the bottom of the airbox off and remove that resonator. probably get more of a gain then spending 65 dollars on a air filter.
