HiFlow's new car.

[HiFlow5 0]

I'm just going to repost what my buddy Mark posted on the Mass Driven board, because he put it quite well.

Well, of all people Craig decided to join the dark side of the club ( along with the other SHO, WRX, and SRT-4 owners ), but thats another story in itself. My friend CJ had this 93 SHO 3.2 ATX w/150k miles sitting in his driveway for about 9 months because he got a Saturn for an econobox. After many phone calls and some bargaining we got this baby for $450! The car ran great but the starter gave out the other night when we went to go pick up the car so it needs that, rear struts, a little bit of exhaust work, tuneup and she'll be good to go. The car is loaded with all the power ammenities like, power sunroof, power seats, factory JBL sound system, digital climate control and some other goodies. The car has black leather interior which is nice! The body has a few scrapes and scratches around it but there is no rust or anything major at all.
The best part of getting this car was taking it back to Craig's house! The car was dead as a doornail the morning we went to pick it up, so the next best way to get it back ? The BANGUS!! ( which is Craig's 95 Vandura pictured in the background ). We got a heavy duty tow strap, hooked it up the hitch on the van and the subframe on the car and made our merry way down RT20 at 11:30 in the morning. The best part of the trip was that he had to drive the van and I had to drive the car and provide all the braking and steering for the car therwise I'd smash into the van. Of course the only mode of communication was via cell phone and him telling me when to slow down and when to make a turn to changes lanes during this 2 mile ride of death down Rt20 in the middle of the day! All in all, not a bad deal, she just needs a little bit of work and she'll be out there all ready for me to piss all over ( that video coming up soon ). Rant over.

yes, those are chrome 3A racing tips too

Hmm, interesting. Maybe you would have been better off getting a 95 Mustang GT

[Adhesive STP]

what kinda numbers do the SHO taursus's put out? whats the biggest block they make for it? and last..how's it match up to a 5.0 stang ..both stock

[GTStang]

Craig honestly stop trying to copy me and be cool!!!! haha

If you need some help holla cause I have be from one end to the other on those fucking things.

89-95 Manual SHO had 3.0L V-6 Yamaha, 89-95 auto's had 3.2L V-6 Yamaha
96-98 3.4L V8 Ford w/autos(all).


PS: It better be in a garage or a warm day cause this cold weather outside mechanic shit is not for me!!!!!!

I'm about to go out there now and fix the starter that stopped working, as well as a few other goodies. Its damn cold, and I just want to get it running.

You still have your SHO Bobby?

Yep but it is almost at 300K on the ticker, I need to either start putting some serious money to get it back into shape or get rid of it. Poor trooper is starting to get a lil ragged.

Here it is hiding behind the Stang:

What an adventure today. Replaced the fried starter, then tried to start the car. Turned over but would not run. Pulled the plugs and there was oil all the way up in the plug well, not to mention the plugs were black as black can be.

So me and my buddy pulled the top end, replaced the cam cover gaskets and threw in new plugs. Starts up a lot better, but I think there is a problem with the crank postion sensor now.

Few things I still need and the car will be just about 100%.
-Rear struts
-Exhaust, Cat back.
-CPS

(you should turbocharge it... )

[emokid15]

Let me know on AIM, this weekend if you have time maybe we can meet up and I can run my Electronic Diagnosis tool on your SHO, works wonders on mine for pointing out faulty parts. Also if ya bring ya video camera we can have a lil SHO race.

Hypsi I already feel super cramped in the engine bay fuck a turbocharger lol.

Hey Bobby, thanks for the help today. I did a search after you left about the cam sensor. the code 214 (CID) we got in the cam sensor. It will also effect the tack too. Pulled this from www.shoforum.com

If it was the CID then you would have the hard starts, but only intermittently and when heated....plus rough engine performance, a CE light, no tach signal when the condition occurs and the engine finally starts (albeit badly)and most importantly a stored code referring to the CID sensor...code 214.

So what your saying is that me calling cam sensor about hard starts when I first got there is right? Or how I'd like to phrase it "I'am the greatest mechanic ever!!!!!!"

If you can't find good directions about changing the cam sensor online let me know I'll get the one's from my Chilton's for you.
