I though of the Goose from Mad Max when i first seen it too i wouldn't put them on nice tank though. Dosen't it still matter what's under the tank/hood that matter's not junky sticker's/emblim's?
there's one that away's look's good H O N D A

Ditto the nakediddity. No need to booger up a nice, smooth satin finish like that with an emblem. I wouldn't even run em on the side panels... I'd go with satin tank and sides, chrome fenders front and rear, and a silver frame.

Good to see another sho owner or ex owner here. 

sorry to hijack your thread guys but serious bisnis here... yea, i loved that car but, i couldn't cough up $1,200 for a water pump nor did bending over that far seem feasible.  oh yeah, the $2,200 tranny was a wonderful surprise 3 days after i bought it. 

hmmm... i wonder if showing off and roasting the tires thru 4 gears was the culprit (insert sinister smiley here)

although, i really did like the setup of everything.  crossed the country several times never got bored of all the gadgets AND it went really really fast!  (i think another sinister smiley is in order)

I would've sent this way of pm, but I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of the sho.  1200 for a waterpump replacement is robbery.  Thirty dollars for a replacement waterpump and about 4 hours to rip apart the front of the motor.  And I assume you ejected the diff pin?  A common failure with the differential when you spin the front tires.  2200 for a tranny is also robbery.  Unless you planned on getting a quaife lsd installed.  Even then w/ a 900 lsd 2200 is absurd.

SHO = Super High Output according to Ford.

Thats my opinion , and I am entilted to it

Paul---> Their are "car clubs" for every car on the planet now-a-days.
The Sable, oh sorry, I mean the SHO ,was overpriced for it's performance, and better yet poor build quality.
Those cars weren't worth then what one with 100,000 miles goes for now. The fact that people throw tons of cash
into them to make them as powerful as a stock civic si or some other pocketrocket, is just funny to me.

But , as I said eariler , to each his own....

You have got to be kidding me.  Back in 89 when the sho came out what competition did it have besides a much more expensive bmw?  220 horsepower stock in 89 was alot, it might not look like a lot in todays sportscar worlds but it only took the other automakers 15 years to catch up.
