    94 SHO Struts/Shocks What make/model will do the best for me. In changing them, should any other parts be changed? 80k miles

    I use Gabriel Ultras on my '91 to replace the Konis I had. I have heard the rear OEM Motorcraft are still available. I hated the Monroe OE Spectrum I tried just before the Gabriels - they were too soft.

    Won't turn over

    I had a bad cell in my battery exhibiting that behavior. New battery, it was fine.

    WTB: Gen 2 MTX SHO

    Check out Zak's '95 in the SHO Trader. Very clean, everything is mechanically perfect.

    Ford C-Max rim test fit

    Update #2: I went to Summit Racing for universal spacers. The max I wanted was 3/16, which left me with two options, neither are hub-centric. I went with the WCA-WS09 over the 06 which is 1/8" thick. It may have worked, but I wanted room in case it got too close when torqued down. I adhered...

    Ford C-Max rim test fit

    OK, so an update: I finally got the '96 brake upgrade done, and the bracket hits the rims. I have washers on for now, until I find an equivalent spacer (3/16"). The way the rim curves at the hub is shallow. I'm glad I didn't buy new tires yet, but then again, the rims were $60 each and the...

    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    I used a GEN3 SHO subframe as my friend had two complete engine / transmission / subframes from ones he stripped.. I checked Zak's '95, and his 2001 subframe has the same rear mount as mine. So I will be moving the rear motor mount over as well.

    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    I used the third gen subframe bushings on my '91, they are nearly identical in height. The motor mount is the only thing I cannot account for via geometry. I may need to change the angle of the transmission mount to adjust for the change as well.

    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    The rear mount on my '91 is nearly 2.5" higher than the one on the '96 subframe. The Sticky doesn't mention any modifications for the rear mount. How far off does that throw the rod shifter and the exhaust? Or should I migrate that mount over too?

    Steering rack question

    After taking a closer look, the lines go in at different angles. Does anyone know which line from the pump to the rack I need? Or should I splice the two lines together.

    Steering rack question

    I am upgrading the subframe to a '96 on my '91. Should I rebuild the OEM rack (third time, it is leaking again) or use the '96 rack (also leaking, needs a rebuild)? Is th '96 rack that much better? Obviously, it has 1/3 the miles on it, but is the feel like the ZF rack in my C-Max (same as the...

    New Clutch - or get creative

    I was going to sand the Hi-Revs clutch cover - it looks thicker than the other used one I have which had significant mileage when I removed it. Same with the friction disk - it looks new, other than some surface rust on the springs. The other one is worn down, to the point the dust groves are...

    New Clutch - or get creative

    So, I plan on finally getting a bunch of work done on my SHO. One item is the clutch. I last went Vaelo, new, as the motor is stock, but it is slipping sooner than expected since I tow with the car. So... I have a SHOShop High Revs Jr with the fingers cut off (I really wish I had known about the...

    Stock Tires for Stock Slicers (in 2025)

    https://shoforum.com/threads/finally-max-performance-summer-tires-for-slicers.146789/ Zak had to get some from overseas. I was running 225/50-16 BFG G-Force Comp2 before I switched to 17" rims. But for me, that size corrected my speedometer.

    V8 Gen3 SHO death rattle - shim wearing lip of bucket

    A fellow gave me the V8 tools for the valve train. Do you live in the Northeast?

    97 SHO still runs

    I have a set of fronts I can give you. A friend stripped a '96 and gave me the front subframe for my '91. So I have a set of stock fronts complete with springs and mounts. I live in Connecticut.

    Ring job?

    I am burning about 6 quarts per 3,000 miles. The car 'hydrolocks' at times after being run hard, taking a second attempt to start it.

    Ring job?

    Sure it isn't exhaust valve seals? That is what I think is happening to mine, since it only smokes after sitting. Though if I am really ******* it, I see smoke when shifting above 7K

    Best tires for Gen 1 SHO (as of 09/2024)

    Addendum: you could do what Ron Porter did on his '89 and go with 215/60-15's.

    Best tires for Gen 1 SHO (as of 09/2024)

    General Altimax RT 45 in 225/60-15 is an option. Too bad the Cooper Pro Control isn't available in either size.
