Ok so my buddy and I have decided to tear apart the contour and build a race car. We will only be racing autocross for now but it's a project we are going to put our hearts into.
I have a lot of questions starting with these:
We have already taken the interior apart completely, dash is the only thing current left in the car because we ran out of today. What i want to know is how we can lighten the car further. We will worry about a roll cage later.
Also I have a question about engines and ecu's. I want to put a zetec from a focus inthis car along with a manual tranny. Im not worried about it fiting we have our ways. My question is, is the zetec from the focus more powerful? and what can we do to make it more powerful? We have access to a junk yard with plenty of zetecs and we will be able to experiment on those. And how will everything be controlled. Will we need to make our own wiring harnesses?
I wanna know what I'm getting myself into.
