Just bought a SHO in Denver

[AVAH0LIC]

Hello, I'm Paul! Just purchased a 2010 SHO w/ PP. Here in the Mile High City, not sure if anyone else is.

It's stock at the moment. But I've already ordered with Torrie, with plugs, thermostat, intake, 3bar, and of coarse a tune.

Also just some visual, sprayed rims black, tail lights, window tint. And the rebadge is next.

Threw 2 tens in the trunk.

Anyway, coming from a Jeep Wrangler and an F150 I'm very excited to finally have something with some speed! I'm loving this car so far, everything about it. I look forward to being an active member!

Congrats man! And welcome to the forum!

 

[AVAH0LIC]

Well thank you! Seems pretty slow around here.... lots of good information though. Is it simply because it's Saturday or is it always this slow?

 

[rcryniak]

Depends... last couple days have been a little slow. But... could also be winter setting in. Only been here a few months myself.

Welcome and congrats! You'll love the tuned car thats for sure. I just upgraded my tune from 91 octane to 93 and wow! Awesome! I too have noticed its been slow around the forum but it comes and goes. It may be because everybody is watching the Bronco's record setting year.

Welcome & congrats! Great color choice & start to the modding mania

 

[AVAH0LIC]

Thank you thank you. Loving it so far. Been doing everything I can find on all the forums! I just did the vent to atmosphere turbo mod today. Loving the noise!

I am a little confused, maybe one of you guys can help. I really want a boost gauge. Ive seen the two posts of someone building a custom pillar pod, which looks Amazing but sounds pretty pricey. And then I've seen the sweet custom ones that a member built for above the center channel speaker.

why are there not more options? It seems there are companies out there that make them for every other car! What do you guys do? Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

Welcome aboard......might the AV mean aviation?

Crash712US builds (or built at least) the sweet center channel pods. bpd1151 had the pillar pods custom made by a local fabricator, another SHO owner also had pillar pods made from another fabricator. I would message Crash & ask about his center pod offering for sure. I believe he can cut the face to fit 2 or 3 gauges, whichever you need. So knowing what you want to install is important. Talk to him about that too, he will get you on the right path.

Yeah, it's hard to find custom parts for the SHO, especially where accessories are concerned. Generally the aftermarket doesn't think there are enough customers for them to spend time & money in R&D & marketing. Same problem with all generations of the SHO. Grilles, body kits, lighting, you pretty much put together your own or snap them up as new (generally small) producers crop up.

The AVA is for the Colorado Avalanche it would be smart of me to put up that avatar picture up

I will definitely be doing that! Thanks!

Yeah it's kind of disappointing the lack of options out there. I dont understand it, these cars are such sleepers, figured they'd be more popular.

At least you have the Bronco's! I've been stuck with the Vikings for 42 years now. You have to give me the Wild!

:vomit:

 

[AVAH0LIC]

Welcome!

Get over to EB-PF.com.......that's where the go fast guys hang out

A number of people from CO over there too. Will definitely have to have a track day next year when Bandi opens!

 

[rubydist]

track day? you should go to High Plains for a track day. great track and layout, and much more fun that just a straight 1/4...

 

[AVAH0LIC]

Absolutely interested in a track day. New season can't come soon enough

on a frustrating note, a full box of parts are sitting on my doorstep and work seems to be going slower by the minute!!!

Definitely would've been funny if it had been, but nope not me. But another Paul in Denver with a SHO? Can't allow that! Mine needs to be faster! Lol
