Guess I started the new year off on a new foot though. 100000 when the clock struck midnight! At, 100,018 now, we were out doing donuts. Look at the first pic? See my hot condition? The ignition was off in the second pic. � Jon Miconi � 96 Contour Zetec ATX � 80 Ramcharger 360 ATX � 77 Ramcharger 440 ATX

I was actually reaching the red (!) on the guage. It got a new timing belt, and lower radiator hose at that time. I have had various tire wear issues, but those are fixed now. There was an unknown accident somewhere in its past. Other then that, its been a great little car so far. Quote: Originally posted by SyD: Damn i have a 96 too..mines at 90k =( Duratec swap time ! Turbo kit and a rebuild on the Zetec! I want to go (stock) SVT hunting! Need to get rid of the pesky ATX first though. :rolleyes: � Jon Miconi � 96 Contour Zetec ATX � 80 Ramcharger 360 ATX � 77 Ramcharger 440 ATX
