Default new winter beater **PIX**

ok so today i went and picked up a new winter beater today.

it is a bright red 94 SHO ATX (auto for those of you who dont kno what atx is) with a mint gray leather interior. i picked it up for ONLY $300! it "doesnt start" me and my buddy who has owned 2 of them and currently driving one went and checked it out. we determined it is the cam sensor. it cranks over and when we unplugged the cam sensor it started to fire. the sensor is only $45 and im gonna do it tomorrow. its in really good shape for the price i payed. def worth $1300 all day with a running motor. we just threw some plates on it and had AAA pick it up and drive it the 76 miles to my house for $Free.99 hell yea

ill snap a few pics tomorrow for you guys cuz it was dark when i got it home.

i can finally get rid of my danger ranger that i shouldnt have bought in the first place lol.

The HIDs should look sweet, how much of a shot of giggle gas are you planning on running? I had a whole month off of college that I would've loved to done stuff to my car but, college= not a helluva lot of money.

im in the same boat man. im currently on winter break.. lol so i have time!

im gonna run a solid 100 wet shot on it. i kno i can run more but im just gonna keep it at that. the next investment will be tires for the track.

but hopefully i will sell my ranger for $1k and make some loot. and have a better vehicle. lol

and the hids are 5000k from ddmtuning.com btw

Good deal, the SHO is an awesome car! I bought a 91(If I remember correctly) for 500, put a clutch in and sold it for 1200! Fun to drive

I remember the one thread that you asked what spoiler to go with, did you keep the saleen one on or did you put the gt or cobra on?

motorman yea i kno they are fun. 24v of fury lol the one my buddy has now he picked up for $500 and had to replace the crank sensor. was kind of a pain but was worth it in the end. had brand new tires and even came with 2 new snow tires. his is an MTX tho.. but at least mine has the 3.2L while his is the 3.0L

yea they are yamaha engines

the MTXs came with the 3.0L and the ATXs came with the 3.2L which had slightly more torque to make up for the greater loss of the ATX
