THIS IS NOW:

After the installation of a quaiffe, upgraded fpr, intercooler system, gauges, 96 brake upgrade, wide band, some engine work, a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B :ninja:, here she is now.

[LS2ner]

[SpooL'DGsR]

very nice sleeper. congrats !!

[CHADbee]

super high output is ftw.

[WalkS]

Nice a real sleeper right there. Have you taken it to the track yet?

I would put some standard Tarus wheels on it. Fill in the "SHO" badges, a even more sleeper status!
Keep it up :goodjob:

[Oz10]

Nice! What numbers are you shooting for power-wise?

[One_Bad_SHO]

it has 503hp?

[One_Bad_SHO]

[Julio]

Congrats on the numbers. Whatever they are now..

Nice work.

[ep9716]

[Papa_Smurf]

props for the sleeper!

[One_Bad_SHO]

Bad Ass....But Why This Car? LOL

Why not? :rolleyes:

All (gen 1-2) Ford Taurus SHOs come stock with the 220hp Yamaha motor. I just added a little extra horsepower. Civics weren't meant to be race cars but they get turned into them. Atleast these came with a motor meant for power/speed. (not knockin on you honda guys)

fortheloveofthegamemannnnnnn!

[SEAN]

gotta love fast 4 doors...nice HP numbers...at least yours looks like a sleeper...most peeps don't know what SHO's are...it's a Taurus...then again...most peeps don't know what SRT's are...it's a Neon...yeh...sure it is... :goodjob:

[FasTech]

Yeah, its bad as hell but so damn ugly...lmao

[On_Her_Face]

post a dyno sheet!!!

or PM me one, I'm curious :ninja:

[Atlblkz06]

Hahaha nice.

I drove a taurus (non SHO) for the longest time. and I've always wanted to drop that V8 into a regular GL. I've heard that motor had some issues with the heads warping or something like that - any info on that?

And how the hell do you use that power? Anything over 250 and your wheels will be spinning all over the place. You've got 500.

I really like how the exterior is stock! I gotta ride with you in that car sometime.

[rbf]

Why not? :rolleyes:

You can be the first bud! So get off the computer and start wrenching!

[One_Bad_SHO]

Oh come on. They're not THAT ugly. With a few tasteful cosmetic mods they can be made to look pretty nice imo.
