My brother had a 2 door tempo 5-speed. Ran pretty good. He sold it when he moved to Florida. He used to pick up small blocks for his mustang and plop them in the Tempo's trunk...

What are you looking to do with the Tempo?? Turbo it? or just make it not look like a lil old lady car?

I've ploped blocks in the back of my Mystique already. As for the Tempo, its bored .030", cam, 1.7 rockers (.499 lift int./exh.), ported head, header, 9lb flywheel, 5 speed swap, weight reduction, and possibly individual throttle bodies. We'll see how the 2.3 likes the performance mods. It should run low 14's in the 1/4 mile. If the 2.3 doesnt respond well to the mods and ends up blowing, i'm swapping in a 2.0 Zetec/ MTX-75 trans and a full turbo setup.


Blu_fuz, i agree that the SVT kit is the only one that looks good on the car. I like the SE look though too like you said. Can ya'll tell?

Body kits.... Ebay, Extreme dimensions, Andy's autosport.

HIDs, there are several places that sell retrofit kits. You will blind other drivers.

Neons are universal and can be bought lots of places. I have heard good things about oznium for neons and LED strips.

You can't legally change steering wheels in your car since it is equipped with an airbag. A radio can be bought anywhere. Seats can be bought tons of places. Just make them fit.

You are going to get flamed for what you want to do with your car.

If you don't know what you are looking for, you just have to keep searching until you find it. No one on here can direct you to parts unless they know what parts you are looking for.
Maybe a Cougar wheel:shrug:
As for the exterior, i'm a fan of subtle details. like instead of a big body kit, get SE side skirts and Mystique lips for the front and rear. Then throw on a set of lowering springs, nice rims, HID's, and either pre98 lip spoiler or CF trunk lid. In the end though, the only thing that matters is that you're happy. Not everyone is going to agree with all of your decisions. There are people that really dislike my car, then there are people that love it. You cant make everyone happy. Take blu_fuz's car for example (eggplant). While i think his car is the best looking pre98 around, i'm not a fan of some of his rim choices in the past, or the fact that he has an SVT kit on his car. I mean, who doesnt have an SVT kit on their car? I'm a fan of being different, doing something that no one else has really done, hence my Tempo project car, and my Mystique, rather than a Contour.
