Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

Before, with E0 rims

and now the new rims/tires
17" RS5s with 215/45/17 Kuhmo ECSTA 712s

I'll be the first to admit, the pictures don't do this car or rims justice.

I like it!

Thats sexy... where did u get the trunk lid? I've been wanting to do this to my car too, but I didn't think they made pre-98s in silver... how much did it cost to get it painted, and was it an easy swap?

I love the car!!!

It was an easy swap. I don't know if the trunk lid had to be painted or not, it was silver when I got it...

I love the car, to bad it is out of commision right now. The s/c is howling really bad... I should be removing and replacing it this week...

Honestly, I like the factory wheels better. Just has a certain look to it...

BUT, It still looks good.

NICE TOUR!!
by the way....what are the gauges that you have in the pillat pod?

What kind of springs do you have?

When I saw the stickers above the exhaust, and then the interior...I was like Waaaaait a second...I know that car!! How does it feel to own one of the sweetest SVT's the world has ever seen??

I'm sorry to hear about the SC problem. I could have sworn mark had a brand new one to be put in at SZ 02

What suspension is on that car? ?

Looks good!

Did you take the first few pics at the Ford Plant on Levan?
Where are you in Livonia? I'm at 6 Mile and I-275. Hopefully I'll see you around town!

Phantom gauges... air/fuel ratio, boost and oil pressure

yup, I have the new s/c too, now I have to find a time between fluids, dymanics, polymers, machine design and shakespeare to put it on...

Till then I'll just keep it sitting in the drive. I might take it to a shop, but I don't trust the locals.

It has the eibach springs, and it feels damn good to drive it... It's simply amazing

rag on it??? no

Drive it, yes

offroadSVT, again, nice car. I like the new wheels, too.
I can't belive Mark sold his car.

What's he driving these days?
IIRC, Mark had Eibachs and Konis on there.

Damn!!!!! those wheels look worse and worse everytime I see them. Car looks good though.

Car looks good!

Must...have...older...deck...lid...
