if you look on the main page there should be a mods link and it should have links to all the sites that sell contour things...pretty much any site that carries contour products are there.

The list at the top is just the most common thing people want...

what is the engine in an escort? 1.6L or 1.8L? why not swap out a ZX2RS engine? It's the Zetec but with an Iceman intake? Is it easier to do the Contours Zetec?

depends on the year of the escort... pre 1998 they had 1.9, 1.6, 1.3's
98 and newer it was either the 2.0 SPI or the 2.0 Zetec.


but to say there is not after market for the Escort that is total BS... ever hear of Cossworth???? weather it's an old escort or a new one they got LOTS of stuff will cost money but what good performance parts don't? There is a guy that lives by my parents that has a early 90's escort GT with a cossworth motor in it and it does 9's in the quarter set him back about $10,000 for the motor shipped to the US. car not included.
