Im leaving for bootcamp soon.. as soon as my MOS is on paper, still on DEP waiting for my job to drop. Should I, discard my current contour, and get a newer year, or SVT? Or should I get a beater car to get me around, Put a M3 bumper on my 96, remove all the electrical, strip the interor, custom everything by hand. (im really mechanical) And put a 3L in with a 5 speed tranny? Ideas? 96 GL ATX Memphis 15 - Sony 1000wat - JVC Deck Struts - Crossdrilled rotors Intake --- Work In Progress AIM: sh1zn17 Yahoo!: tinfoilflossa

Or drop a 3L in there; can probably get one lightly used local to you for <$1k and if you're mechanically inclined it's not that hard, or so people say... Scott Troll! '99 BMW 328i
