1990 Ford Taurus SHO

SHOisfast (1 owner profile)
Purchased: 2004-11-01

Engine

For the moment the motor is your average 3.0 Yamaha standard for any 90 SHO with the exception of a performance chip and ram air induction. But thats gonna be remedied. I am in the process of building a new 3.0 with lower compression and higher performance parts to accept a Garrett T3 turbo

Exterior

Oxford white with standard SHO body kit. All SHO labels are painted blue.

Interior

blue neons, stock 6 way power seats with power bolster leather seats. All seats and other leather has been dyed black with the exception of the dash which I still have to pull to dye black and blue. My trunk is close to being finished out with 1 inch pine panels with secondary fuse panel for amp, door popper, neon, and other accesories that require fuses. Battery relocation with dash mounted master kill switch. Also installing small compressor for cases where tires get low.

Suspension

stock aside from new KYB struts

Wheels

stock 1G SHO basket weave with 2G centercaps

Stereo

JVC KD-G800 reciever, 100 watt pioneer amp pushing Jensen 6x9 2 ways, JBL premium sound speakers in doors, pair of 4" premium sound speakers from a 85 thunderbird mounted in the custom trunk walls, 300 watt Rockford Fozgate Punch amp pushing a 15" Fozgate Sub

Future Plans

I am in the process of building a new 3.0 Yamaha with lower compression and higher performance parts to accept a Garrett T3 turbo. The T3 turbo is smaller than what I really want but I have it on hand and setting it up in the car will allow me for future upgrade to a larger turbo. Also running full blue neon exterior lights, adding more blue neons to interior, trunk, and engine bay. Blue and Black interior as well as motor, exterior paint is still up in the air as to what color to go with as are the vinyl graphics. Considering dark blue paint with black graphics. Also working on a custom intercooler set up built into a hood scoop for maximum air flow.
