Kermit
New tranny for the SHO, and 3rd cat and flex pipe removed.

Still waiting on the other car.
SilverThunder

Blanik_SHO
Modification before summer (before a take my SHO out of is sleep tongue.gif)

- 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
jedhead
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.

Bob
DE owns me
hopefully by the end of summer i will have my system finished, my rims, body kit, exhaust, and some engine dress up, and my new paint job. in time maybe lower it new fiberglass center console dvd player/monitor tint turbo and other odds and ends.

But as soon as i take out my car i 'll let you know!
mooby

me would be on my 94 bulll

1 new front suspention

2 new front endlink

3 power upgrade the brake to make them rear disk brake setup

4 maybe get the ac to work ? not sure

5 bleed the brake line

6 and maybe get a twwecer with blanick and green gl and sable tuner if it can work wih all 3 we could buy it all 4 of us so it would come cheaper lol !!!!!

7 windsheild and the prb of when i drive on the highway it does not shoot corectly

8 new tire like toyo or yoko for summer or winter too

9 repair the rear defrost

10 tint the window so my 2 daughter are not blinded by the sunlight

11 change 2 sway bar front and back for 2 sho im almost sure that mine are not the same as the sho or police pack so ill get 2 sway bar from a sho or a police pack car

12 disco ball in the front since the 9007 upgrade harness are done and silverstar are in im just missing some clear headlight

13 clear corner lens

14 to do a real dual exaust pipe front the front to the back with 2 hi performance muffler

and i need to win the lottery lol cuz this is gonna cost a lot
Blanik_SHO
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 smile.gif , 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!
mobiuslogic
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 ph34r.gif

-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 sad.gif

-New Tires (because sidewalls are meant to be bald, right? icon_rolleyes.gif )

-spoiler and tint are relegated to the "whenever" category

-mobiuslogic
mooby

mooby taking off the cats is a big no no ,and i would really like to see someone do two pipe dual exhaust on a taurus and do it properly,i know to do it right takes 7 hrs with two very experienced exhaust guys i have this system on my wagon (with cats) and belive me its the ultimate pain in the rear to do it. notworthy.gif
spifdaddytaurus01

detroit_raver
well i'm gonna be in summer in a few days.. going to florida!! so there i'm gonna install my headlight harness upgrade, put in my new headlights, finally install my new tweeters, and some other odds and ends.

and than this summer in MI i am gonna lower the car and MAYBE get a bodykit from AAS. they have a sponsorship thing going on right now and i applied for it, so we'll see if they pick me or not. and gonna try to talk the hubbie into some kind of decals or graphics on the side of the car. other than that, nothing much cause the car is still under warrenty.
godspunk32
Well, I just bought 24mm and 26 mm sway bars from someone parting out a Gen I SHO, so I'm going to install them with TPR bushings, and probably new Gabriel Ultra struts!

mooby
hey muffler man just to put in a regular police pack exaust it cost me 290

and about 800 $ to do a real dual setup

and humm i really want a dual setup

and i dont have any cat what the big no no all about ?
mufflerman
enviroment ,me being a licenced tech cannot work on any car with the emission control devices removed or modified .and mooby i work to very high standards and pride in my work and with all my skills and licences i aint going to do it,and i charge resonably for it too. ph34r.gif
mooby
this i have no doubt about your work

maybe ill just a get a dual end ?

not sure yet

but for the cat it better not to have one even for the environement if you have one it p[roduce no more smog but it will produce 5 time more diox some thing wich is in term more dangerous than the smog problem it self you change one gaz and produce one 5 time more and even more dangerous that the smog itself since the smog is down the earth it can be clean up by the tree and the other one not it goes all the way real high and it 5 time more dangerous on the ozone layer

go into google and check for how do cat work

and you will see what i mean
mufflerman
i think i know a little more then that
jason8225
My projects to be completed next month:

mooby
found one that state what i say with cat right here

i know mufflerman me too but with what i started to read and even the industri are trying to get some=thing to replace them real soon ill try to find the same txt and send you a link
mooby
and if you look into google and read carefully you will see that all say that it a by product of a cat so instead of making smog in wich tree can clean it they are making some NOx wich in case is going to help to heat up the planet


im telling you guy read on google i even have and other one here soem other compagny that say about the same thing
mufflerman
mooby do me a favor s.t.f.u ph34r.gif
mooby
if so the stuff i read about is not valid ?
mufflerman
when you get a ontario interprovincial automotive tech licence and do over 5 years in school and thousands of dollars of up date courses.i think i know my stuff and the way people look and repair the cars in that province is much to be desired
mooby
oh and i forgot my friend is and ontario licenced technician for 10 year and even him he is starting to have doubt im not talking about the dumd ass that work here in quebec at canadian tire (no offense sable tuner ) but im talking about a cat it supposed to reduce gas and it does it 3 gas are being reduced but my thing is where i read on a regular basis is that a cat produce like 3 time more nox wich is even deadlier that the 3 gas combine

iu know a cat is soposed to be important but now it as reduced the smog problem but it eating at the uppser layer of the atmosphere did you read the text the first link ? if yes ive read it like 5 time to be sure i understannd it corectly

oh and dont tell me to shut the f up

oh and i forgot there is even the sulfur in the gaz here in canada if really f high

and in most state it lower

and sulfur cause bad cat and among other thing and so on and it the state the ppm is 30 us it about 3000 wtf

this is bad for the environnement and even my car

and muffler man if you have at your garage a pollution tester i will gladly show you my car you just have to promise too if im not legal to go back to my home lol and if im really not good at all ill put on some high flow cat cuz my car is in tip top shape
mufflerman
they all say that till i check it ph34r.gif
mooby
no prb ill come and vidit and you do me a test and if it really bad ill change it soon after ward ... not on the premesise( on the spot ) but soon after ward

if the car is in top shape it should not be that bad

and even there the cat is removing 3 gas and forming a nox wich is more lethal ? blink.gif im confused and this come from the epa
