As much as I liked my Contour, once I blew the tranny I just decided to get it repaired and get rid off the car. In the future I would love to get my self a SVT.
For now I have a 1993 Mazda Protege....V6. Swapped in, is the V6 2.5L KL-03 engine from the Probe/MX-6. Needles to say this little car runs like a bat out of hell. This car is a real sleeper
