Posted April 14, 200421 yr Demin asked that I drop in and check out the boards.My name is Pete and live in Maryland.I own a 97 Ford Explorer XLT w/ 121k and a 2000 Ford Contour SVT that's getting a new engine w/ 5,800 on the clock.I love working on my car to get a good blend of performance, appearance and audio. I do almost all my own work - just pulled the 2.5 engine out and dropping in a 3.0. I should be handing many a car their asses once it's done. I wont bore you with all the details but here are a few for my SVT:Silver FrostMidnight Blue leather interiorprocess of dropping in a 3 liter engineSPEC stage 1 clutchSPEC flywheelTorsen LSDBAER brakesSHM long tube headersBassani cat-back exhaustCenterline RPMs 215/35-19Ground Control coiloversKoni adjustable strutscarbon fiber hoodMcCullough HIDsPIAA driving lightsand on and on and on....Audio awaiting install:Pioneer DEH-720CDT CL-61 componentsKicker KX800.4Stryke AV12Tsunami 1100DAudio Control 24XS0 gauge wiringKnuKonceptz wiring, 1 farad capOptima red topI get bored at work, so you guys should see me regularly.

April 14, 200421 yr Admin welcome Pete, wow I had no idea you were doing all those mods to the engine,post up pix man
April 14, 200421 yr Author Do you attend any local car shows, I'm at most of them I attend the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA and the American Iron Shootout in Cecil County (1/4 mile bracket racing and car show).I'd be interested in meeting up with some of you guys and attending some more shows in the latter half of the summer. It's going to take a few months to get my engine swap done, car painted, stereo installed and new wheels put on.Here's a pic with old wheels, bumper and hood:
April 15, 200421 yr Author Welcome fellow SVT enthusiast!! What are you driving? Cobra? Lightning? FSVT?
May 18, 200421 yr Author 98 Snake. Nice. Almost bought one myself, but insurance rates turned me off. My buddy just bought his 2nd 04 Cobra. One stays stock and the other is for the track. Already running low 13s with very few mods.
