Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Interest Check on ATI Rear Sub-Frame

No problem...I guess I missunderstood what I read. I didn't realize they were using factory subframes. I was under the impression they were manufacturing new ones. I'll keep an eye out for the pic's.

Thanks

Cougar owners, Rick has confirmed that your cars have the same rear sub-frame as the Contour (if you didn't already know). Seams obvious to me now, but I had to have him check, just to be sure.

Would one of you please post something on NECO about this group buy?

Below is Rick's latest correspondence.


I read through the thread. If the guys that are on the fence would be willing to up a $40 non-refundable deposit, I think that gets over 10 people interested in the sub-frame. That being said, I can offer the sub-frame for $250.00 for anything over 10. I know it isn�t much of a break from the 5-10 piece price. At $250.00 I am really not making much on the part, but I appreciate all of the exposure we have had on the Contour site. The price also will include the bolts and washers to mount the sway bar to the sub-frame, which I had erroneously excluded before.

In all honesty, I had no idea how much of a following the Contour had. I worked on this program when the car was being developed and am glad to see the enthusiasm for it. Again, any of these parts would cross over to the Cougar.

It would probably take me 2-3 weeks to get all of the sub-frames together. A week to get the sub-frames, and some time to modify them all. The thread was correct; we do remove the factory sub-frame mounts and mount our own. I will email you when I post the pictures on our site.

Regards, Rick


I'm ready to make this happen, but only one or two people have sent me a PM indicating when they want to proceed. Since I'm buying (2) sub-frames we only need (4) more people to get the $255 price and (8) more to get the $250 price. Also, please notice Rick IS including the sway bar mounting hardware.

I'll send the non-refundable deposit as soon as its needed.

Where do we send the deposit to.

the Mounts as they are wouldnt not allow the sway bar to reach anyway, and the bar would hit the subframe. (probably discussed before on here)

He is going to have to Completely box them in and refab the mount. Its already in progress, though I do wish I had the cash to be in this GB.

He builds race cars from scratch. So I dont have any doubt in his ability. What I did doubt is if this Contour Subframe will bolt onto the cougar? Unfortunatly didnt see your confirmation post until it was too late.

I have posted a cross reference link on Fastcougar.com, though I dont see many members post interest over here or there. Unfortunate.

bet it up. where should i send my deposit ?
