I took out the airbags. i am getting a fiberglass dashboard and center console custom made by a family friend. my carpet is gone, my center console has been ripped out.

my piston rods are an aluminum alloy. my valves and springs are titanium. my ball bearings are all lightweight. the only reason it weighs so little is because its all ripped apart. i am doing many things at once. when i get it finished it will be roughly 2300-2500lbs. i havent weighed it, 1800 is an estimate. it isnt even running right now cuz the radiator is gone. hell, the back doors hood and trunk arent even on it, waiting for carbon fiber replacements. im planning to spend about 20gs total on this car. then i am keeping it.

Aluminum alloy rod???? you clearly don't know anything about cars... that would be MUCH WEAKER than stock. ooh and BTW an aliminum block means you don't have a Zetec.

96 Contour Zetec it's faster than a period. According to my calculations the problem doesn't exist.
