Hey guys, i own a 95 SE that i love to death, the car is in AMAZING shape with only 130000km's on the dash. Anyways ive decided that i want to finnaly mod her, i have an intake on it already, SVT rear bumper coming, and im gonna order a Trubendz probably. Just wondering if you guys think anything past that is smart. I ask this because in 1-2 years ill be getting my SVT and transferring everything after market onto the SVT, and about a year after that ill be Buying my Terminator (03 Cobra). Just wondering what you guys think i should do, mod the Contour out and have a decent car now. Or Save up my cash over the next 2 years and make a SICK Cobra.

Make the sick Cobra. But you should def do stuff to the tour. Think of it as practice. The more you get in there and do things many are scared to do, the easier it will be when it comes time to mod the Cobra. So to some up my thoughts; The Cobra should be your focus, and the tour your practice.

its always worth it to mod it!

Well I'd probably just wait and mod the SVT because 90% of the stuff you'd probably do to the 95 is going to just bring it up to the level of the SVT.

I agree. I remember when I was terrified of doing ANYTHING to my car, but after doing a couple things, I loosened up about messing with the car, and found it could be fun. Start doing light stuff on the tour, then use any ideas you came up with that can apply to the Cobra. That's how me and my friend are with the cars we build. We went from P71 to Mystique to Firebird convertible to the current T-Bar Firebird. Because we screwed around with the earlier cars, we have loads of experience and know what will and will not work. Trust me, even working on my Mystique gave me insight on working on the other cars. My $.02.
