Hey Guys

[2000ZxT]

Hey guys been trollin for a little while seems like a cool community with a lot of smart people and nice cars. I am from the Nashua area and have two cars. Ones a 98 SVT Contour, nothing special just fun cheap transportation that I can enjoy the styling of but not worry about using it like a truck. Definitely still needs some work (mainly just paint now) but I got it off the side of the road as no start no crank non moving car so Im ok with it.

My other car is the same car but a project. New 3.0L motor, custom turbo setup, standalone and more. I am finally finishing it up after a few years, I stopped working on anything aesthetic until everything is all set so its not much to look at yet. Definitely been an invaluable experience that few people understand. If anyone could offer me some help with basic tuning (any megasquirt guys? I do have autotune, mainly worried about ignition timing.. $$) I would be ecstatically happy as this is my first tune from scratch and I am nervous, even though engines are only $300.

I also design and cut vinyl graphics and signage and whatnot for fun on the side.

welcome and love the turbo setup. a buddy of mine had one, not very common cars. i absolutely loved the sound of his though. stock motor but just took out the resonators and thats it. sounded pretty good IMO

oh and before i forget, a good friend of mine knows a rediculous amount of (well it seems like everything at times) but uses megasquirt. he'd be the one to talk to. hes who i go to most of the time if i just can not figure something out. he's basically jus one of those guys who knows too much for his own good lol but hey its good for other ppl like you and me

Welcome to !

Ive been searching for an SVTC to daily for a while. Ive owned a Cobra, Lightning, and 2 SVTFs. I always wanted to put the EAP wheels on a Contour so EXCELLENT choice!!!

You on SVTPerformance at all?

Always had a soft spot for the SVTC... Looks like this is going to be a real fun build, welcome to the site

Thanks, the build is actually just about done. I realized the pics make it look like its still in a bunch of pieces. I lost my camera halfway into the build so my worklog suffered. Gotta paint the front clip and finish tuning, then hopefully enjoying it hah. I had it running NA before I installed the standalone and connected the charge piping (with all the mods it was fast as hell NA, cannot wait till its fully tuned).

I love the EAPs too, cant beat them for the price. I am starting to lust after an SVTF now that I keep seeing the Competition Orange one with black EAPS on Amherst street. I looked for an SVTC for years before finding this one, they definitely are pretty rare around these parts. I have not joined SVTPerformance yet, this is my first actual SVT (other ones a clone).

I actually just gutted all my cats and now my car sounds horrid! Found a borla cat back though so Ill probably try and swing that. My other one has full 3" custom exhaust straight to borlas. It's pretty pleasing to the ears.

I look forward to getting out to some events in my cars and meeting you guys, most of my friends hate when I talk car!

Nice build! I've always had a soft spot for them as well.

I wouldnt bother with an SVTF. SVTC is waaaaay more sleeper.

Is the 3.0 the Explorer motor? I know its a common swap and theyre supposed to be stupid fast with that motor alone...cant imagine what it would be like boosted

You came to the right place to talk shop. We always have meets and shows posted. Sullivan Tire in Manchester is where most ppl hang out, after 9pm. I also occasionally do a lap through Nashua/Amherst as Im in Merrimack.

As for SVTP...its a good site but no love unless you have a Cobra or Lightning. I joined years ago when I had my second SVTF and nobody cared lol

[frosho]

^Taurus/Sable motor. The Exploder had the 4.0 Cologne.

[Synical DSM]

I think he means Escape. My Escape has a 3.0...

Anyway are you from Milford? I swear I park across from this car frequently.
