SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE

[SM105K]

Okay here's the parts sitting in my car backseat and trunk

2 Front axles, 2 front hub bearings, 2 front struts plus lowering springs, 2 front sway bars, back shocks lowering springs and sway bars. finished drilling holes for the caliper brackets covers, engine/trans torque mounts, front brake pads, Spark plugs, coils, thermostat, throttle body, noisemaker delete, 3 bar but I think need a tuner before I can put that on. Finish installing 3D camera system and probably a few other things I can't get off the top of my head

Good stuff. All pretty easy.

Needs a tune and tuner!

Yeah that's the only thing I need to get for now.
Except for that downpipes new exhaust system hot pipes and the last thing is the new upgraded twin turbos.

Easy if someone that has the right tools and they don't live in a apartment complex where you can't work on your cars

I have been there and done that as well.

Lol I think spark plugs/coils/thermostat/throttle body/housemates delete and 3 bar sounds like a realistic afternoon ....all the other stuff sounds like a massive potential for a setbacks....maybe best to do that at home in case the car doesn't move for a day.....or two. I'm not a mechanic so I can see everything else taking longer (somehow) than I expected. Two experienced mechanics though....you guys could bang this stuff out in an afternoon

Lol housemates delete! Damn auto correct...totally weird that housemates was even an option...although I suppose housemates ARE noisemakers

My housemates are very loud. So a delete would be nice but they frown on doing that to kids

I had big plans for the first quarter of the year for the SHO, however it is not a financial responsible upgrade at this time.

However, another member on the other forum ordered a pair of bronze Niche rims, and I really like the look. So, for $70 shipped to my house.......

I am going to plasti dip my Curva's this burnt copper color. This will match my Devires burnt copper overlays, and I think it will really pop on the car. If I hate it, then I will peel it off and it will only cost me $70 and some time. If I like it, I will keep it on. Once the time is right, I will peep the wrap and get them professional painted in the same color.

Not the mod I was wanting, but I am really excited to see how it turns out.

Please explain these words "financially responsible". They are not in my automotive to english dictionary ...

Hahaha, sometimes life doesn't pan out like you want it.

I used their classic gold on a set of wheels a couple cars ago. Definitely goes well with a black car.

Purdue fan?

LOL nah, just always liked the color combination of that classic gold and black. A lot like the old Bandit Trans Am's paint scheme. More of an Irish fan. I see you are from up there in Lafayette. I won't hold it against you if you're a Boilermaker...

 

[802SHO]

I'm due for a wheel color change as well! My wheels in their butt ***** form are gloss black with a polished lip. I've done a light gold...almost Bronze, Graphite and currently Gloss Black..all Plasti Dip. Also have played with putting SHO on my grille.

 

[Angrymongoose]

Thats always a bummer when life does that. I was hoping to get the intercooler last year myself, but things came up as well.

That color should look really good though.

 

[SM105K]

Andrew, I really like the bronze.

 

[802SHO]

Andrew, I really like the bronze.

I think it needed one more coat of the Gold. I did my Black base 3 coats, then just two light Coats of Gold Metalizer.
