Not a Taurus, but how about a pimped out 1994 Chevrolet Corsica. Mods include...

Eibach Pro-Kit progressive rate lowering springs
Prime 106 16x7 wheels
Pirelli 205/55VR16 P400 Touring Tires
Cross-Drilled/Slotted front brake rotors (to match the drum brakes on the rear)
Split Fire spark plugs
K&N Filtercharger
Tsudo TG-255 Muffler (gotta have the coffee can)
PIAA 1100x lights.
PIAA Superwhite headlight bulbs (both hi/lo beams)
Kenwood Excelon Headunit
Polk Audio component speakers, 5 1/4 in. mids, 1 in tweets (front)
Infinity Kappa 3 way 6x9 speakers (rear)
Kenwood 5 channel amp 60x4 180x1
Infinity Kappa Perfect 12" Sub in Q-Logic type A enclosure
Viper 500 ESP alarm/keyless entry

My Corsica actually made it in Sport Compact Cars "Readers Rides" section back in April, 2001.


It may not as pimped as the S (see sig for mods) but it's still my baby.

BBY2KS2K, I remember your corsica in that issue! Got rid of the chrome door runners I see? Was wondering if you had any mods for the cooling system. I remember they had a problem with overheating. My mother always got nervous at a red light when the temp. needle started to climb. LOL.

Yeah, I got rid of the chrome door runners, the bra, and the headlight "blackouts." I would like to get rid of the coffee can too, but I don't want to pay the money to get it replaced and as retarded as it looks (I thought it looked cool when I was 20, but at 26 I'm thinking to myself, "WTF was I thinking." ) I love the way it makes the car sound. I don't have any cooling problems with the car, even when idling in hot weather or climbing hills. Intake manifold gaskets and alternators are these cars weakest link.
