Well, I got my LEDs for my cluster conversion...if I have time tomorrow, I might do it, but it'll probably wait a few more weeks.

Modification before summer (before a take my SHO out of is sleep
 )- Upgrade brake from the 96 SHO I'm waiting a response from a guy who have the "ford price" minus 10% - New tranny heavy duty transmission cooler got to protect that transmission, to expensive to change right now - New radio/cd/mp3 panasonic cq-c8400u, cool display and good statistic ( i got the old model in my tempo , and it play so nice)...http://www.panasonic.ca/french/auto/audiopour/players/cq-c8400.asp Modification during summer (i hope so , but i will try anything to have the cash for it) - New tokico suspension with intrax or eibach coil - I will try to change my catalytic converter with empty one or by changing them - new full calibration of the EEC_IV, with new camputer program would be more easy to show the website.....http://www.tweecer.com/ that all........and enough, only with the pre summer job it will go near 700$, for a student it is expensive!.......and don' talk me about the summer project, near 2000$ dollar......but that will be one of a nice taurus SHO |

1. Rebuild and install tranny
2. Rebuild and install 3.2l with mild port and clean up on the heads and JE high compression pistons, 17lbs flywheel 3. Replace the front bumper cover (aka toothpick maker) and repaint the car. 4. Install Baer Racing 12.5 PBR set up 5. Install new CF Hood. 6. Recover the seats with new suede inserts in leather with SHO Logo. I am thinking about two tone. Mocha leather on the seat edges and dark brown suede on the seating surfaces with SHO embrodary. I hope to finish if I have the time with 1-5 this month. 6 will be done later in the summer. I figure the new 3.2l with stage 1 cams and all the bolt-on should be very close to 300hp at the flywheel, about 240-250hp on dyno. I hope to have over 190ft-lbs of tq from 2200 to 6600 rpm with a peak of over 220ft-lbs Bob |

Plus have a new clutch, engine mounts, flow tested and matched FI, new LPM programming and dynotune. I am sure I missed a few things.

De Ms muffler i talk about is the one at the end of boulevard "Dagenais ouest" when it cross boulevard "Arthur sauvé"...........in face of milette sport! ( by the way, in Laval), if you get a quote for your muffler tell him the guys with the white ford tempo give you the adress (maybe he will make a better deal....but not sure)....anyway , you will see they are great, and they are the only one who accept to do a double exhaust job on a tempo  , so they will be able to do a taurus!
this i'm not sure because a think this kind of compagny made this product for SHO only , like "tweecer" or "sctuner"......but ask them first by e-mail to be sure!........but if they do it well maybe they will really do a discount for 3!!!!!! they surely not sell this product everyday! |

California - Handing out drivers licenses like candy. Group: Gold Supporter Posts: 1,053 Joined: 19-December 02 From: Santa Clara, CA Member No.: 664 Car: Ford Taurus Year: 2000 Engine: 3.0 OHV (Vulcan) |
Hey Guys, well I'm certainly not E. Canada, but I'll definitely chip in anyways.
-Have Eibachs sitting on my floor waiting for a set of KYBs in a couple weeks. -When I do the front suspension I'll also replace all the rubber bushings in the suspension because something is still messed up from my accident from 3 years ago and something's not right. So basically completely tear apart both front and rear suspensions and fix whatever's not right. -I too have my own *secret projec* that is going along slowly  -Get a bob FSTB -My rear drums are squeeking a little when I brake while going reverse, so out those come and discs are going in soon. -Make a box and install my sub, but that requires an amp first because $amp > $box  -New Tires (because sidewalls are meant to be bald, right?  )-spoiler and tint are relegated to the "whenever" category -mobiuslogic |
