    Newbie w/97 SHO

    Took it for another ride today, you may be right it feels as though the converter is locking & unlocking. Shifts fine especially at wide open throttle.

    Newbie w/97 SHO

    Hi everyone, Just an update on the $400 car I purchased a month or so. I finally got some time to get to the DMV to register the car. So far I have fixed the brake lines, fixed the oil leak and replaced the flex pipe along with some fluids and fuel filter. I took a long ride the other day in...

    I removed the oil filter, then the two coolant lines (when doing this coolant is going to pour all over you so be ready) I took my impat gun w/30mm socket and took off the cooling assembly leaving the rest on the car. I cleaned it really good put a little rtv in the groove and put the new o ring...

    Got a ton done today, i fixed the oil leak and took a bath in coolant. I mounted and balanced my used Toyo tires. I located the exhauat leak, it is on the y-pipe. Tomorrow its off to the DMV. I did notice whole driving around the block under acceralation that the front end felt a little loose. I...

    Ok thanks! I got the new flex pipe although it solved 90% of the leak theres still at little leak towards the front of the car. Next week im going to have it up on the lift. My next goal is to get the oil leak fixed but its coming along.

    I do not know if the cams were welded that is correct, I am only assuming because of the mileage on the vehicle that they were. I can probably remove the front valve cover fairly easy to access the front cams to see if they were welded. Two more questions: Is the SHO SHOP still in...

    The metal that holds the rockers on in the rear is completely gone and although there is some surface rust there the floors seem pretty solid. I got two brake lines in and done when i depressed the pedal down it felt firm at first then right to the floor. The line running from the box across to...

    I asked this morning they said someone had rented it and didn't return it. The larger fitting that goes into the abs block? I just flanged both ends and used a union to retain the factory one looked clean no rust.

    Anyone have a quick fix for the rear portion of the side skirt to stay on. The mount is completely rotted. I think it's fairly common? I'd imagine those things suck up all the crap on the road and hold it against the metal there.

    Thanks! That seems pretty straight forward, I'll see if my uncle who owns a local garage has a 30mm wrench. I forgot to mention that I added a little sea foam to the oil and gas tank. I also put in a new battery the car was sitting for 6 months. Tires are also on my to do list.

    Newbie w/97 SHO

    Hello everyone, I just picked up a 1997 Red SHO for $400. I purchased it from the son-in-law of the original owner. The car has 217,000 miles which mostly from his long highway commute. The car runs and idles nice. It doesnt sound like it has that mileage. From what the guy told me his...
