lol, working on fords is a chore, everything is in everything else's way, but this is what ive seen with most domestics.

but you have the probes so your used to how they work, have fun fing02.gif

good price on the tib too, shit we'd all be lucky if we could buy a tib from the dealer at that price.

and i agree, i know its gonna behell to work on, everything is just tucked into that engine bay.

and probes arent fords, there 98% mazda. built at a mazda plant using allready existing mazda mx6 underbodies. hell, even 5 of the 7 designers of the probe were mazda designers, 4 of which designed the FC rx7 wink1.gif

mazda is and will allways be my love, but i want my daily to be something different. and not typical. the SVT is the only thing original that could be alot of fun. plus in every way its really an upgrade, minus the fact its a ford.

but at least its a duretec motor which is known for its reliability. plus i can drop in the 3.0 or even the new 3.5 version very easily.

I have a couple of friends that are modding SVT contours...
one of them is actually kinda B.A. and the other is a complete POS...
good luck, buddy!

Ford Contour = poor mans Taurus.

Ford Taurus = poor man's everything.

All it is is a bucket of shit with a supercharger on it. Shit, I'd get another RD and S/C it before taking a Ford anyday.

^
he obviousely doesnt know much if he thinks there Supercharged haha.gif

would be nice though.


im just waiting to find one that i can test drive to make the final decision. on paper, there an insane little package thats trumps everything the tib has to offer stock VS stock. so i have high hopes. i might just end up getting a 2nd gen probe as a daily when it comes down to it.

i really want to continue the search, but no one has been able to name any other cars that fit what im looking for.
