I was about to sell my car and get a matrix xr, or a custom mustang gt I saw at a car show. But I decided to keep the tour. When I get out of college and get a nice job and a house, I'll still have the tour. Then I'll custom the mother out of it into a sweet touring car for the track. Thought you might like to hear about that mustang GT. Custom built supercharged 400+ hp engine, full body kit, saleen wing, momo shifter and steering wheel, custom leather seats, custom rims and tires, lowered, custom exhaust, custom paint job. The dude was selling it for 19.5K or best offer. I almost bought it. This was taken at an auto show at the Anehiem convention center in march called Import Revolution. Go to www.wrecklessonline.com to see the pics. Ohh check out the girls too if you have a chance. -Rob White 95 GL ATX 56K Miles on it.

L8R Rich You mean direct port FI? I'm sorry I'm sorry confused as what you mean by others having FI. Fuel Injection, you mean right? But our cars are fuel injected. So is this another type of FI you are talking about? 1992 Ford Escort LX-E -Tracer LTS spoiler -GT Grille

Maybe thats the thing. More peeps who on a duretec are looking for the performance, so they care more about problems being fixed by themselves. Most of the people that I see driving zetec cars (what ever model it may be) tend to be families or people that cant afford the higher powered cars. Thats just my oppinion. -Rob I fix my Stique by myself. D Davis custom fabbed his own intake....among other things....D quit clearing your throat....I modified an intake that was supposed to go on a Honda/Acura, removed all the resonators, going for some exhaust mods...oh and some others are FI so we are up there with ya in that relentless pursuit of...."can we make it faster?" But as far as doing my own maintenance, yup, you betcha. I have a hard time letting anyone touch my car due to bad experieces. L8R Rich When I'm dead, please quote my name with this... "Anyone can buy a fast car and go fast, it's when you buy a not so fast car and make it go fast your something to talk about" Damn thats good...Copywritten biotcheS!!!!! In other words there are quite a few people that mod thier Zetecs and are looking to get more out of it. Ask anyone in a Duretech or Zetec thats followed Hector and myself around. ILSean, Hector and myself had a conversation similiar to this at Portillos. I think Hector is well known on the board for his accomplishments. Then we also have sleeperz, wannabsvt, ddavis, myself, sosaudio and Kremit that for whatever reason we all own Zetecs and love to make them go. None of us own the fastest Contours on CEG, but it's fun to try and keep up with the big dogs. I changed my EGR sensor! '95 GL White I've got mods.
