Car Thread!

Re: Car Thread! (unstuck)

That's why I like them. But after riding in my friend's LS1 Camaro, my thoughts have kinda changed. On the dyno it made 316 RWHP with only a Flowmaster muffler and K&N filter element.

If I'm not mistaken, that must be a Ford Contour. Its had its days. I wonder why it's been discontinued though? It looks like a really slick vehicle. Ford's gone through a lot of revisions and design change in the last seven years hoping to find that "right" vehicle to consumers. They did so with the Focus and that held on to this day. The Five Hundred was a bust so they rebadged it to the new Tauarus in 2008. Get ready for that people!!!

The Taurus was their best selling car, then they decide to get rid of it when they are already doing bad...duh! It's only guaranteed they will do worse that way. Rebadging the Five Hundred probably won't bring up sales much except for the stupid people that don't know it's a Five Hundred in disguise... The Focus is a good selling car as well, but it's had it's problems. My dad was a Ford Technician (not anymore though) and said that Focuses all came in with the same problem (forgot what it was...) I wouldn't mind having a Focus myself, but I don't know what my dad would say about that. I decided on an Escort Zx2 and he hasn't said not to.

She's my baby, clocks at 140, but I'll probably never get to know what that feels like. I really don't want to, I just like being able to say that.

The Focus owns if you get an 03-up. Especially SVT, mmm...

I've had problems with alternators and transmission, I think those were the only two biggies. About $650 total in those repairs.
 
Re: Car Thread! (unstuck)

I'm getting a 1998 Ford contour its in perfect condition just needs a new CV joint but I can fix that!
My aunt(Well Uncles GF) has to transfer the title over to me
what stuff do I need to bring to the DMV in order to do this?
I live in
New York state if this helps... I have my license since last October
 
Re: Car Thread! (unstuck)

Ooh, I dunno on that one.

Just curious though, is the Contour a 2.0 Zetec or a 2.5 Duratec V6?
I have tired working on my friend's V6 and it's just impossible.
