By now you've done quite a few mods, or... you just want to add this filter since you don't want to rip your nice stock ZX2 air intake (which is thoroughly EEEEVIL!) apart. If your leaving the rest of the setup alone, I can understand. It's a rare breed of us that are willing to modify the workings of our cars, but this setup luckily is a basic flat out easy mod. The K&N Filter flows just about the best out of any air filter, much better over stock. Press your lips up to the standard paper filter and try to blow through. You barely can, it's that restrictive. A K&N Filter is a washable media. It's cotton gauze surrounded by stainless steel, impregnated with red oil. The oil traps the smaller particles, etc... etc. Blah blah. I'm not going to sell you on this idea on how it works. Just buy the thing and stick it in. =)

It's filter #0995. Same for the Escort wagon, same for the ZX2, and same for the Ranger. It's not the same as the contour, since it's a more square setup. While your at it, check out the K&N oil filter. Yeah, $10 US a pop, but hey... it's worth it to me since it's got a 1" nut welded to the end of it. Makes deinstallation a breeze. I also like the way it looks, and the self assurance of knowing I have a high quality oil filter in my car is a nice feeling. My last car ended up costing me $7700 in repairs since the engine went south due to lackluster oil circulation performance. Lubrication is the key element to engine life. Spend the extra few dollars, it could go a long way.

Well, that's about it for some of the mods I'm going to explain. Check out some of my other pictures I stuck online. They will have explanations on how to do em at some point in the future. The reason some of them don't, is because I have to take pictures of them- but need to take things apart to get them. The leather shift boot knob, shown elsewhere at this site, took 8 hours to install, and could easily take that again just to get you guys some snapshots.
