OP Anthony2 Newbie A Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 3 "Up North"	First time soon to be Contour owner in MI. ..I'll be buying a '97 4cyl. for $400...The body and all is in great shape, but the last owner cracked the head. What do you guys suggest I do to improve the drive ability of my new 4-banger? Yes, I know I should be more performance minded...but for now this will be a daily driver,140 miles a day, 5 days a week.... It's enough to drive me .

Originally posted by Anthony2: What do you guys suggest I do to improve the drive ability Replace the head. Welcome, there is tons of info here as you'll find. You'll want to be more specific though. Have you already replaced the head? What other driveability issues does the car have, that you know of? Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq
