Project 92' SHO

[ViPER1313]

So far this summer, I have replaced ALL of the hoses under the hood, installed slightly larger butterflies in my intake and cleaned the 2mm of carbon that were coating all of it's walls. Now.....



Koni yellows, Intrax lowering springs (1.5"F / 1"R drop), LCAs, rear swaybar endlinks, front swaybar bushings to subframe, bumpers, bellows, strut mounts & bearings. 8) I can't wait 8)

[ScottyB]

[ViPER1313]

Installing.....suspensions.....sucks.......

That is all 8)

[ScottyB]

i hear you on that. be careful with those spring compressors hock: they scare the hell out of me

[D_Eclipse9916]

I got spring compressors if you need to borrow them. Have fun, I hate exhausts of all things. I Was doing headwork the other day, installing lifters and springs and boy did it remind me how much I loved doing actual engine work instead of exhausts and rusty bullshit.

[JustinG]

where you workin at???

[D_Eclipse9916]

who?

[JustinG]

you Don Juan...

[D_Eclipse9916]

I work at Advanced Auto as a driver, but I operate my own "business" for cash to do work on people's cars. Got paid 30 bucks for just helping out, not even doing anything, an intake manifold on this guys car yesterday. Its just extra money.

OK, back from the dead.

Have had the suspension installed for a few months now.

Close to when I bought the car:


How it sits now:


LOVE the way the Koni's / Intrax ride - the car has been completely transformed. On their softest setting the Konis are probably 2-3x firmer than the 145k mile old Motorcraft front struts / 40k mile old rear Monroe Sensatracs :vomit: . Install wasnÔÇÖt hard, although you do need a sawzall for modifying your current strut cartridges (my plan to use a Dremmel failed horribly - went and bought the right tool after the first corner :wink: .) Plenty firm for an AutoX when you crank them up too! So far this has been the biggest improvement witnessed from modifying my car.

[ScottyB]

wheels/drop looks real good. after looking at some shots from the last auto-x your car looked pretty planted

[Feersty]

The look is hot Adam. Surprised by how good your red paint still looks.

[ViPER1313]

Well, back from the dead. Car is a weekend / toy machine right now, and as such it needs more power 8) Have a set of black perforated seats from a 90->91 SHO in the mail (look much better than the 92->93 seats IMO) and I just picked up a ZEX nitrous kit from DJ's friend Jason - it should be installed by later this week. The only question is whether to run a 55 or 75 shot 8) .

Anyone want to set up a drag race day? :twisted:

If that's your power adder, then you're on

[HAULN-SS]

I'm down for drag race day. pick a place nearby. Let me know a few days in advance.. i need to do some oil change business, install a new temp gauge, and get a new air filter

[ViPER1313]

Nitrous kicks ass 8)

That is all

[Evan]

too soon junior

[ViPER1313]

Its not super crazy (the world didn't blur when I floored the car) but the power is definitely there.

How big of a shot did you end up with again?
