Which Contour are you modding here? The SVT or SeVT?

the SeVT .... the SVT will stay as it is, well for the most part, nothing major there, got it for a summer dd and with 43k it should last a good long time.

As long as it isn't raining or cloudy! We'll see how much of a Dd it will be.

I do my best ... and the previous owner of my SVT also took great care of it and it shows ... and that is the reason I can't make it a 100% daily driver, its to clean, no rust, and everything looks new under it ...

Admit it you even feel bad driving your mystique when it's not nice out.

since I haven't updated this thread in while for those who do not visit CEG here is an update.

I had to replace the upper radiator hose twice. It blew out once and then sprun a leak, and then leaked again but some new clamps took care of that.

I installed my steel braided lines for the remote oil filter.

throught that I was having some clutch issues but it turns out that its normal for the Stage 3+. I also just installed my keyed shift tower and it shifts very smooth and the clutch grabs hard.

I do have some oil leaks to fix. the shift tower and axle seals are leaking. shift tower should be good now and I am replacing the axle seals and crank seal with Greg on Friday. I am also installing new axles too.

Prep for the turbo install is underway. Greg tried to install my walbro 225 lph fuel pump but since I didn't have the install kit that is on hold. Once that is done I will install the 80mm maf and 42# injectors and tune the car. Once I am happy that is working fine then the turbo will be installed.

So yesterday I put everything together ... its hard to follow because some of the pipe are not where they actually sit in the car and some of the couplers need to be cut down.

I also did some assembly tonight to see how everything fits together ...
