What modifications should i do and in what order. I'm not very rich so it will take me some time to save up for this. Since winter is coming I can rule out ideas like lowering for the moment anyway. I also have fun doing this kinda of thing so even little detail work would be cool. My car is completely stock. Help a guy out if you wouldn't mind. Thanks people.. Joel SoDxSainT Ford Contour '95, GL 4cyl. Stock so far. Ford Escort '90 late model (the nice one) 1.9L 4cyl, 2 3/4 inch exhaust, header, Streeight flow through muffler bullet exhaust, Suspension technique, Decals, Tinted, stereo, 16 inch Platinum Rims with Kuhmo's (Think that's the name). Just a nice all round Rice kicker!!

That's a good start i guess if you're tight on money. 1998 Vibrant White 2.0 Zetec / "Powered By Ford" Shoulder Pads / 3A Racing Pedal Covers / Pre-98 Sail Panels / Alpine SPS-5729 in the front / JL Audio TR570-CX in the Rear / Zetec Inside Sticker / Replica Porsche 944 Rims (5 circle ones) / CEG Sticker / Super White 9006 Low Beams / Euro Style Short Antenna / Broadway Wide-Angle Mirror / Painted Front Grill Vibrant White / CTA Intake / Accel Ignition Coil / Diablosport Chip / Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler / Ractive Amber Side Markers / ST200 Struts / Eibach Springs

You should do that first. 2000 Contour Zetec ATX Hector Mods...I got em' "Contour grills, Contour bills, check out the oil my Contour spills." 2.SLO = 17.6 at 80mph My profile
