Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

Hey people I got a 98 contour se. It got the Zetec engine in it and I just got it. I am about to start doing stuff to it. I just wanted to know what u guys think I should do. I want to get a new exhaust setup with 2.5 in pipe with a free flow cat and an hks muffler. I was thinking of doing duals on it with two hks muffler. I am just here to see what u guys think and after that where should I go from there or should I wait for the exhaust system and get something else
THz for your time

First off welcome to CEG. This is the best site on the planet for our cars. If its one thing i have learned since joining CEG is to make your car yours.It just depends on what you like.The exhaust sounds good that you have in mind.You can also search in asthetics
and you will get tons of ideas.Good luck and welcome.

check out the exhaust database that is pinned at the top on this forum, it has a list of what people have done and how they liked it, etc...

Methinks you need GNX/Monte Carlo SS style exhausts...

a lot of people seem to like the svt set up, nice low growl, doesnt cost near as much as most setups

Hey guys sorry I been busy with the family my father came home today and I just been trying to help the most I can. Well no it not his first heart attack it like his 3rd and he only 42 years old. He has been though 4 back surgeries and might be on his 5th next week. Last week with him going all though this he try to kill him self he try two times cause he just in and out of the hospital a lot and he think he should not live a life with that so I been busy not had a allot of time to work on my car but anyways I wanted to show u my old baby and now my new baby THz guys and girls for your hope I can join u guys and maybe get some help with fix up my car. I have been thought school for cars sorry I know what I am doing but here my pictures of my old baby and my new baby

Here the new baby

Dark Color....
First mod, clay bar, second Klasse AIO polish, third P21S carnuba wax, all available in my sig.

Then I would go for the SVT exhaust with the stock resonator in place and the rear mufflers removed. There are some vids of my old Zetec around here somewhere.

Them start on the interior. Paint those dash pieces, LED window swithes. All this should be pretty cost efficient and get that mod bug started for ya'....

1) get a bottle of simple green automotive or castrol auto degreaser(purple bottle), a bucket of water, stack of clean rags, and Clean the engine!!

2) do this

3) wheels and suspension, don't bother cleaning the outside as your car will still look like poo(no ofense most contours do) without these.

4) follow the above directions about clay bar and what not

Nice pick up! Yep like they said clean the car and when you are done................clean some more. I wouldnt paint hte inteiror unless you do it right with professional paint (not spray paint Cheap). Well good luck and post pics of your progress they are so fun to see.
