Hey dude, welcome.
I have a intake
on order but would like to know the best bang for my buck.
There are a lot of opinions on here on this topic. Try using the search feature in this forum (performance) and look for "best bang for buck"--you're likely to find lots of info.
I am looking for advice or parts for sale. I also need an ashtray and
possibly the power window switches for the driver and pasenger windows.
Try the classifieds on the main CEG site. Or search E-bay motors for "Ford Contour parts."
Also is there any
other center console that would work for the front as the console won't even hold 2 cans of
soda without tipping over whne I drive around ?
Some people have put the pre-98 console in their 98+ Contours. There may be a how to or FAQ on the main site, or search "General Mods," as a starting point.
