Believe me, listen to all of these guys, you will be unhappy with an ATX duratec contour that is all show and no go if what you want is speed. Your best bang for a buck would be to build up a 3L.



Geez, some people just fail to read the last post sometimes...

So far I have not done that much to it.

-Mirko Splitter
-WR Headers (sitting in a box, waiting to buy flex pipe)
-Painted inner headlights black
-Saleen numbering on front bumper (thanks Parkedcar)
-Blacked out taillights
-Aftermarket Amplifier after finding out that all of the speakers in the car are RF 6x8's.
-Still saving money for a 3L and turbo.




So I bought the car in it's entirety and repaired it. I currently drive it to work everyday.

Thanks for the info though, I've already done research and theres a '04 3.0L from a Sable 50 miles from my house with 4k on it for $625. Unforantely I don't have the time nor the money to get involved with this project yet. I have to install my headers on the car and then proceed to complete the fence around my yard so my dogs don't run off and then redo my driveway so that I have a place to park my Camaro. Which will leave me with little money. Did I mention I'm trying to save money for my wedding too... lol.
