I meant beat it with heavy mods. And, once again, the only real question, What are the difs between the SVT and the others? SPECIFICS!!! A site with the info would help. If I wanted to get flamed I would go talk sh*t about honda on a civic board!! 1998 Contour GL Zetec I4 w/auto MODS: Fog lights and Mesh grills Soon to come are a set of Rims and Yokohama AVS ES100's Come see at cardomain.com

Bigger brakes Bigger wheels Body kit White faced gauges with 160mph speedo Perforated leather seats in midnight blue (svt only) or tan Rear seats are bucket style Different (and better) electric window switches in driver's door Need more? I think just the extras above justify the difference in price not even considering the limited production numbers. 95 SE Modded - Gone 98 E0 Black SVT - Gone 98 se sport - Broken 00 T-Red SVT - Nice

I can't tell any difference between the switches in my cars. My SVT has half the mileage of the Sport, so the switches feel like they've been used less, but that's to be expected. Was this something that is different in 98.5+ SVTs? If this is true I have another mod to add to my list. EDIT: I just noticed you have an E0 like me, so its not a 98.5+ thing. I really have to check this next time I'm in the car. Exactly how are they better? Also, don't forget higher capacity fuel injectors and no speed limiter (approx. 114mph in non-SVT) Last edited by hetfield; 08/08/03 01:33 AM. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.

The ones in my EO SVT are really bubbly and stick out about 3/8" further than the se ones. 95 SE Modded - Gone 98 E0 Black SVT - Gone 98 se sport - Broken 00 T-Red SVT - Nice

My 98.5 E1 SVT has flat ones and my friends 98 E0 SVT has bubbly ones. 98.5 Contour SVT "Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country" --US President George W Bush
