Help a new SHO owner out! :)

[CerberuS]

Sup guys , first timer posting on these forums.

I bought my 2nd SHO just now for 600 bucks CDN ('92) MTX, (i do not still own the first one)

I thought it was a deal , i still think it is but theres some heavy money to slam into it. Heres a couple things that dont work on it.

-2 rear windows regulators slow or jammed
-sunroof jammed and very slow.
-ABS light
-Steering JAMS when turning like you remove the keys and the steering comes locked , when you force it a little , it goes through , and when it de-jams , theres a good sound comming from the feet area (link or what gearbox?)
-Radio doesnt get radio stations , alot of noise ,
-Antenna jammed
-Heat control fed up (i already replaced it on my 1st one , very costy at dealer)
-Suspension and control fed up , this car is dangerous (specially with the steering jamming while turning)
-A lil bit of blue smoke coming out when high rpm (does not take more then 1/2 pint of oil between oil changes)
-The plastic with lights and sunroof button fell off(plastic broken)

Engine runs like a charm , no codes , no clicking noises.

Any tips on where to get parts and what should i do first.

It has 211,000kms on it. And i want to put 18 inches on it , plus a paint , 3 inches exhaust , supercharger if needed . I say if needed , cose i wanna get around 320hp.

Im also a former mecanic , so for doing it myself is not really a problem.

Thanks alot.

ALOT of nice shos in here.

your steering problem look like a broken subframe. For the ABS, you should run an abs test.
Radio and antenna might be related, need to test them out.

Btw, you are from montreal ? I live in repentigny... Add me on MSN if you have it and we can maybe meet somewhere to check those problems out.

Instead of the subframe broken, it could be that the bushings are loose. I had some subframe bushing bolts get loose and caused the steering to bind in sharp left hand turns.
