Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

anyone else catch this? im sick as hell right now from it.

Ive got the:

dtech heatshield
buckshot optimized stock TB (on the way)
kyb gas struts (i know i know but im on a budget)
Ground Controls (on the way)
SVT side skirts (on the way)
9MM FMS wires (blue) (on the way)
new mufflers and resonators- probly dynomax (going to the shop tomorrow)

as there anything i can take to make this stop? my bank account is cold yet my visa has a fever, and this damn itch......

I have no more money

Can i ask where you bought your eibach from and how much you payed for your skirts?

mod bug, i think i got it too!
I got the cross drilled rotors and KVR brake pads couple of weeks ago, I'm waiting for the Stainless Steel Brake Hoses (in the mail, i think), and i'm in the process of getting wheels(back order).
Plans on the table for the summer:
1) custom tuned ship
2) 75 shot dry kit
3) pre-97 hellahydro kit

i bought the ground controls from the ceg classifieds. 300 US on svt struts. I wont be using the SVT struts so if anyone wants them cheapo grande let me know.

Side skirts were 120 / side from Bill Jenkins. Still waiting on them tho, I think thats US fundage tho...

going in for dyno tomorrow afternoon, my guess is 155-160hp.

i just put an order in for 18" wheels

You guys all suck!!!!... I cant afford anything else cept for stupid repairs. I need new tires, cv boot, clutch, and some maintance like coolant flush!!!! freaking money i only wish I had more.
Oh yeah out of topic here hey abwamo you still got that clutch????

yah its in my friends garage, i'll pick it up tonight.

sweet thanks dude

I'm buying headers for now, and I will see what else floats my boat

and the suspense builds up, my wheels are at customs in Manitoba.

What wheels did you get and if you don't mind could you tell me all the incidental charges that you have to pay (brokerage, duty, taxes) to clear customs. I am very interested in getting some wheels/tires but I am worries about taking a beating at the border.

i got the Enkei RS5 in 18" with Parada Spec-2s. GST and brokerage came out to $180 and duty is going to be around $100, so you will probably will be looking at $300+ because you guys have PST too.
probably $50-70 less if you get 17"s, brokerage is flat rate so that wont change and if you get US made products you wont get charged duty (the Enkeis and Yokohamas are made in Japan so i got screwed, i wish i know before i ordered).

my wheels went on today! gave my car a coolant flush too with 1 bottle of redline water wetter. new throttle body is on as well as my heat shield. just waiting on my side skirts and ground controls. my car needs to be lowered with my rims on bad

soon tho.....

Do you guys think its possible to cut my front aprings?

don't cut your springs

so summer didnt last long... and running around with my rims and tires is pretty scary this morning. If your in edmonton and havent looked outside... DONT! go back to bed for a few days!

to make it even worse my car will be lowered today... im thinking 2.5 inches on the front and 1.5 on the back..

pics to come.

and still no side skirts

well the ground controls are installed. i dont mind the ride. seems quiter then stock and rides pretty nice, big bumps tho or wavy roads are kind wierd. but wow does it ever handle!

here is a pic (sorry for not being clean tho)

lowered tique

Hm... very intresting indeed....
Let me just be the first to say that your ride is look sick very very nice!!!!!
So did you check your pm yet?

can't wait for our next meet i want to see it in person, i've been thinking about GCs and adustable shocks(koni's) but money is getting tight with no work. took April off to study for final exams.

anyone interested in a Edmonton get together before the end of the month. moving to Slave Lake at the end of the month, so this could be my last time meeting with you guys until the Western Canada meet in July.

I'd hit it, we should meet before the end of this month. Me and Brokk wanted to have a meet soon, so this is the chance!!!
Let's have a date let's see how about the 25th?

i may be good for whenever, depends on work tho...

anyways here's an updated pic of my tique cleaned up a hair.

click me for contour pr0n

took the car to Saskatchewan on the weekend. handled nicely. big turns at high speeds have almost no roll.

we did catch some air tho on a big dip in the road. i was just able to grab the steering wheel in time - i had cruise set to 130 and when we hit air it reved up for a second before coming down, bounced once and was back to normal.

it was a fairly comfortable ride tho (thanks ford for the not too stiff seats)

next up are sideskirts....
