AHHH.. I left for a while because I sold my second green CSVT back in the summer of 03. I finished my 4.6l swap into a mustang a couple of months ago. Last wednesday.. the worst happened... let me tell you a little about the car first. The car was originally a green automatic 99 v6 with tan interior. I Did a little work. I changed every wiring harness in the car, even the body wiring harness because i didn't want to splice the wires in the back for my cobra tail lights. I changed the tan interior to dark charcoal with 03 cobra seats. I changed the dash, the petals for a 5spd, ... everything. I stripped the car down to nothing, pulled all the brake lines out, all the power steering, all of the ac, cooling, and engine. I dropped the 4.6l in, put the hydraboost in, new power steering rack and pump, put ABS in the car with traction control (it didnt' have it before), Changed the brakes to cobra brakes, put the Indepedent rear end in from an 03 cobra with 3.55 gear. Put oem ford 00 cobra r wheels on with bfg kdw 275s in the rear, 245 in front. I had 99 cobra trans with triax, dual friction centerforce clutch, billet aluminum flywheel. Also bilstein, and H&R's... 850#/inch rears 700#/inch front.. it was stiff as hell.. and it drove like a dream. I also had ceramic coated shorty headers, o/r x-pipe and magnaflow magnapacks. On top of all that I had the saleen routes type supercharger strapped ontop of the 4.6 with 87mm maf, 30# injectors and a tune from saleen, and from my diablo sport programmer. I also had the 99 cobra rear bumper and 03 cobra front bumper with 99 cobra hood. Everything i had was all authentic ford parts and I built the entire car. Last wednesday... I had an engine fire. Still no one knows what started it but it started inside the engine compartment. Well it would be a few thousand to fix the damaged parts... so I decided to buy another contour svt. I'm flying over to new york on monday to go look at a 00 silver contour svt. I know it's not my usual green.. but I just can't find one. Well there's my story.. and now i'm back.
