New guy. Try not to hate too much.

[Contour'd]

Hey guys, i'm a bit of a newb to the Mazda scene. I just picked up a 2007 Mazda CX-9 for a daily driver because what I was using for a DD kind of lost it's comfort, plus my wife and I are expecting our first baby and I wanted something safer to drive around on a daily basis. So far a love the Mazda (only had it 5 days lol), but i'm here to show off my project that I've been working on for the past two years.

She's a 2000 Ford SVT Contour. 2.5L DOHC V6, aluminum overdrive pulleys, cold air intake, MSDS headers and y pipe, Mustang GT mufflers, Torsen T2 differential, D2 coil overs, tubular rear toe arms, boxed rear control arms, 21mm BAT rear sway bar, all poly bushings, and will be installing tubular front LCAs and aluminum flywheel. This car has been my baby, and I really love driving it. Anyway, enough talking, here are some pics.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the car, positive and negative. And now, to keep this Mazda related, here is my CX-9.

They are nice. If it wasn't for my wife and I expecting our first, and if we weren't planning on kids, we would have probably gotten a 5 or 7, but the extra space of the CX-9 is awesome! They look pretty damn good too (all of them)

Skip the hate, a couple of nice rides. Enjoy both.

Thanks, so far I LOVE both!

Thanks. I get some really mixed opinions on my SVT Contour. Some really like it, and others REALLY hate it! haha.

Just when I thought the Speed was a niche platform...
