Hello Minnesota!

[Vnuk1]

Well the SHO has been parked for about a month and a half now and I already miss it. It needs some minor work and I have not been able to get around to working on it. It needs a little coolant hose replaced under the Intake and the probably the rear Valve Cover Gasket replaced as I noticed a little seepage by the Cam Position Sensor. I also have to replace the Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensionor as it has been making some clacking noises against the Valve Cover. I have not even prepped the extra Intake I have for paint yet that I was supposed to throw on this summer.

Kinda bummed I missed the cruise to Duluth but I guess there is always next year. Dan keep that thing till it falls apart, like J said it's paid for!

Here's something stupid. The wife is mad at me and won't talk to me.

On a brighter note, the 91 hasn't had any issues since I replaced the starter last spring (knock on wood).:wave:

bump the MN thread with new (dirty) STi hottness




its the straightest exhaust on the market. cat less downpipe to follow later this season i hope

 

[sho'noffmtx]

AWD FTW!

 

[ty91sho]

that rear sway bar is tiny tim. you need bigger, also does the rear end still howl?

 

[dmoo21]

yeah 63-68 mph is the absolute loudest, so i just fix it by driving 60 or 70 everywhere. the only reasoning i have been able to come by from asking multiple people is its the series of mechanisms that are used in limited slip diffs, which on the STi there are 3 of them. i have fresh fluids in all so other then that i wait till they get trashed from me driving it.


ride height comparison anyone?

more pics
absolutely none of these turned out how i wanted due to the sun setting as i get off work and the logistics of getting both my cars together at the same time




too low for winter? we will see


try again this weekend for better pics, i need a white car to do a dorky patriotic pic i think

 

[ty91sho]

hmm i have a white car lol. and it looks good. lower is better. and ya it will be a snow plow this winter...its all good

 

[sho'noffmtx]

I have a Blue SHO to keep with the tauri theme...

Just throwing it out there

 

[ty91sho]

dan what happend to the red flaps? did you make these? are they the cutting board ones?

 

[dmoo21]

red ones are on a shelf in the garage, yeah, these are the cutting board ones. seeing how i like them compared to reds.

 

[ty91sho]

so i just got back from duluth......and iam gettin something for the audi....i cant wait

 

[dmoo21]

intriguing...

teaser pics or it didn't happen

 

[SHO1]

This place has been dead since the cruise,
...so everyone post something stupid so we all have a reason to watch the mn section again.:hdance::angelnot:

Ill start; I got my blue car running again last weekend, took it over to a freinds house to show it off. when i went to leave it was raining and i let the clutch out a little to fast so it started to wheel hop. apparently the crusty exhaust didnt appreciate that and something gave, so i got to drive it home with an open ypipe.

OK, now somebody else go!

Something Stupid!! :laugh_ti:








That stupid enough for ya?

[SHO1]

About a month ago I got an 88 F-150 from my "step-grandpa" and he just gave it to me. So I fixed that up and put new valve cover gaskets on it. Apparently it had been leaking oil for a long time. So I had a minor fire on the driver side valve cover. Everything is okay though, thankfully. So One that gets on the road that will be the winter beater and the SHO will go into storage. This is also my first time posting on the Forum...woop woop!!!

:woo-hoo: 'bout time! :wave: What took you so long to sign up on here? Shoulda been on here a year or 2 or 3 ago.

 

[ty91sho]

so what can i do. i hate that my sho just pushes around corners. should i get really sticky tires for the front? do all of your guys's shos just slide the front end when your goin around a "spirited corner"?

 

[SHO1]

Quaife, I know from personal experience one will solve that prob and I think the new Wavetrac must do same.

The SHO will always push corners.

but lets get some sort of MN project car and put

275-40's in the front w/extreme offset
195-somethings in the rear
it will be reverse stagger setup maybe it will catch on

seriously

 

[ty91sho]

my car is ready for it dan. you find some rims and tires and i will put them on lol

 

[whiteman_01]

So, while were just BSing. Can anyone tell me if the subi wagons offer a third row seat? If not, what wagons do, that you know of?

I know, the taurus wagon, volvo cross country's, 850 turbo wagon's. Thats what i can think of right now. I would like to keep it turbo AWD, 5 speed a huge plus.

Ty had green rims at one point. He'll do anything.
