wavetrac availability

Did the wavetrac group buy go through? Can a guy still get one from shosource?

Your best bet is to contact SHONut.

Wish we could get another group buy going. I seem to have bought a sho about 8 years to late. If only I wasnt 12 when the group buys were going down.

Haha Lincolnwelding. I'm 35 and it seems the parts train has pulled away from me also. Maybe we could ask one of the other 2 sho guys in this area if they have some stuff. It's all fedex and greyhound here but somebody has what you want for the right coin bud.

Yea I was in highschool when I had my 92. I just found it (13 years later) and bought it back along with a festiva... When I wanted parts I didn't have any money, now that I have the money I can't find any parts. I even contacted Al Fitz and he has retired. He had like 50+ SHO's back in the early 2000's.

Joshua at shonut emailed me back too, they don't have any on hand. I'll just need to wait for one to pop up.

Join the SHO marketplace on facebook. Post a WTB there. You will find someone with a Quaife or Wavetrac if you start asking.

That would be awesome to find a local guy with spare sho parts. I have been wondering how much a wavetrac/quaife would run used, and if I could just get away with stickier tires for a bit. I guess i'll see how my traction is with a P&P intake and BBB's and decide from there.

Its such a bummer for me to look through the forum archives and hear about all the big sho gurus that used to be around and have now moved on to other platforms or just plain retired. It really makes me want to scramble and get all the parts to build a mean sho.

or start throwing dollar amounts around.
you never know what may entice a parts hoarder to loosen up.

You can use a V6 Mitsubishi Eclipse Wavetrac from 2000-2005, before I sold my Wavetrac I made sure I had a backup to fit in case I got back into the SHO. I got the stock Mitsubishi diff to fit in the SHO trans easily back in 2013 before lack of time made me give up on it. It is the only one that will fit.

Great info sir, thank you.
