PopolZ Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hey guys! I've picked up a 2010 SHO with 21,000KM 3 months ago. It's a non-pp car in grandpa blue. I wasn't too sure about the color but it has grown on me. I wished I could've found a black one but now I really dig the "anonymous" color. So far I have a tune from Torrie for 93 octane, more boost and firmer shift, a set of Carbotech AX6 (installed the front yesterday, doing the back today) and a meth kit in the mail :hat: I also own a black 1991 Skyline GTR with 130,000km which has been stored for the past 2 years due to a blown turbo (which the replacements have been sitting on my desk for 1 1/2 year) and now the lack of parking space at my apartment It has a straight through 3" exhaust (that thing spits 18" flames above 7000rpm :loco:, HKS intake, full coil-overs, no more boost restrictor, quite a few aluminum suspension parts, adjustable cam gears, 12" momo steering wheel, OS giken twin-plate clutch, Volks racing forged wheels, 275/45R17 RT-615 rubbers all around, front and rear tie bars and I suspect a fully rebuilt engine (compression ratio is like new and the oil pump can drain the oil pan in a matter of seconds at higher RPM). I used to own a 1993 delSol Si, a 1986 Trans-Am and a 2000 Intrepid R/T. Since then I've readjusted some of the body parts since a few gaps were excessive and part of the side skirts were missing.

PopolZ Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Drag racing isn't my thing... every time I go there something happens so I'll keep the SHO off the track hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Drag racing isn't my thing... every time I go there something happens so I'll keep the SHO off the track hehehe I understand... Tats said, I have been to the track with the SHO at least a dozen times if not more and ran more than 250 runs in the last year or so and it runs like a charm! People are very impressed with this car, me the first. It's a good EGO boost lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 These cars are quite track friendly...... Many owners have tracked them, including me..... Don't hold back on the experience, it's a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopolZ Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 i know but that's tempting fate, so I'll stay off the drag strip! I'll most likely try the race track and do a couple of laps! So far no bad luck on a lapping day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoman04 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 You can have almost as much fun as the GTR!!! The GTR CLUB here in ATLANTA were so impressed w/SHO gave me anary membership they have a R8 Audit to. Welcome I've been running at the track for almost 2yrs in HOT ATLANTA (80-97deg) and still daily drive it. Take it to the track it will like it.
