LIsten guys i just bought a 199csvt from this guy in new jersey and i was wondering where you get work done on your car wheter it be maitenance or repairs. Also have you had any problems with warranties or hassels. I went to island ford to transfer the warranty to my name and i still havent received the warranty booklet and its been almost 5 weeks now. Original owner lowered the car with eibach springs, removed resonator, rop in k&n filter, b&m short throw, na dsuper chip reprogrammed from his original contour se. I just did the Mr. Moose fix and am dieing to do some more mods. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1st off are you going to SZ 2002? laugh

How much money do you have to spend?

The first mod i would do is the Sho Shop y-pipe, since you have no res it will give you a drone inside the car and you'll have rasp when cold, but i noticed the gains from it, and like it very much, Cost is $300.00 with the high flow cat (i think)

Bassani or borla whatever your choice is i like the way my stock exhaust sounds. Plus there expensive.

You can change the foglights to Piaa 510's if you want some real bright and sweet a$$ fogs but there about $180.00 for the set.

Chris hightower has a clock to replace the contour emblem inside the car where your factory alarm is (the red light), its a very nice touch.

P.S. Who did you buy your car from?

With all of the plugging that Slim has done for SZ 02, he should have is way paid for about 4 times over...

Guys, keep an eye out for Slim when you all go.
Make sure he doesn't wander off alone.
He might get jumped carrying all of that Ad money...

Well Slim is already threatening to run me off the road if I bring my race tires..

I think he'll just have to live with it..

I saw this post and figured I'd just wait..

After all Slim is the "Official" LI/NYC area recruiter.

Most dealers have crummy service departments, to put it mildly. Be careful bringing the car to a dealer with that Superchip they might find a way to not honor your warranty.

How many miles are on the car and when did you buy it? This website is the best place for information on the contour. period. Search through some forums for info about mods.

Good luck with the car and have fun! wink laugh
