Recently my car was busted up from an accident involving black ice and a curb.
Brian (Area91) was nice enough to come down and pick up my car and bring it to his shop to help fix it.

In the mean time, I waited on some money to come in and I ordered a bunch of new parts + upgrades.

Jonathon (1995SHO9) picked my ass up saturday morning and we drove all the way up to the PA SHO Shop.

After 2 long days of work, and everyone helping out, it finally got done.

I couldn't be more thankful for all the help. Both Brian and Jon were a huge help as well matt who was there too.
In the end I learned a lot and fixed virtually all the issues with my SHO.
Jon and I installed the ASFB's, Brian parted out his dad's poor SHO :rofl: , fixed my leaking radiator (needed to be crimped badly), changed the oil, changed the tranny fluid and installed a drain plug. Brian also did a gasket match job on the heads for me :salute: as well as checking my valve lash and making sure everything was in spec.

While Brian and Jon were working on most of the stuff, I was repainting my intake manifold. I glass beaded the entire manifold inside and out, and sprayed it down with blue speckled paint and black gloss. It came out GREAT! I wouldn't have been able to get it on without Jon's help either other wise it would have been scratched to all ****.


Overall, the car drives so much better with the new PS rack and new tires.
Everyone there was a huge help and it was a lot of fun hanging out and doing work with everyone.

I'm really glad the 94 is back in running condition...even more glad that it is better than it has ever been.

Thanks again guys. I know I left out a lot of stuff but you get the point. I'll definitely be making a trip up to any SHO meets in the near future.

PA SHO Shop FTW!

**** yeah, that was a lot of stuff.
Too bad I need new front tires already, I'm getting an alignment done tomorrow morning so I'm gonna just rotate them and leave the ****** ones on the back.

Oh yeah, and that beautiful intake I worked soooo *******....it's ruined! I still had an intake leak from last night, found my culprit...it was a piece of old gasket material causing the leak. I took it all apart and now my runners are all scratched up =[ I wish I didn't leave that paint at your shop now :rofl: I'll just go buy some more and touch it up tomorrow.

Other than the alignment which there was nothing we could have done anyways, the car runs great! Besides the BBB's sticking (i just unplugged them and left them open until I feel like dismantling my intake again).

The radiator doesn't leak any more, she feels like she's got a bit more power.


Thanks a million, both you and Jon were really helpful.
