Welcome to my SHO's page. Lots of stuff to see soo I'll try to get to the point. I basically have every mod available for the SHO and will be installing a full Turbo system on it this year with Tim's (Toolman) ceramic coated hotpipes, down pipe, Turbonetics GT-K650 turbo, Godzilla Bypass valve, Tial 44mm wastegate, 90mm MAF pre turbo, Tweecer R/T and all the supporting mods. My Built Forged 3.2L will be going in in 2008 with the built tranny.

Got Quaife ATB? I do! Not very many of these left.

The Quaife helps it accelerate and go around turns and these haul it back down from speed. 13" Custom engraved Cobra brakes up front and 11.6" rears.

Nice exterior shots of the car after the new paint job. The color of choice is called Grigio Titanio Metallizato(Titanium Gray Metallic). The color really pops in the lights. The color is from the newer Alfa Romeo's and is a rare color found on Ferrari's.

Notice the paint matched Gen3 SHO trunk lettering.

Smooth and clean.

Oh and here's a side shot or two to SHOw the Alfa Romeo 159 door handles with my factory lock cylinder/key/key light. Don't mind the slight rake to them. Had to do that to clear the window glass and it's related gear.

AeroCatch locking hood latches. Now painted to match the car.

How about some painted interior pix. I went ahead and spiced up a plain black leather interior by painting the window switch bezels, gauge and dash trim, radio din pockets, cassete/cigarete lighter bezel and the ash tray lid. Just enough to spice it up.

Some nice engine bay pix of the fininshed product

Some pix of the Big brakes

Some shots of the done up 3.0L engine Everything is painted polished and powdercoated

Some relocated stuff. The batteries power wire comes out the fire wall and through the front frame rail and then to the starter. The Evap canister was relocated to the passenger side for ease of routing the turbo's cold side pipes later on. The ABS sensors wires were routed through the frame rail to make them mostly invisible.

The devils in the details, just check the bottle brackets and painted P/S bottle.

The engine bay was stripped welded and smoothed then painted black to make the engine really pop out. The wiring harnesses all three of them were completely stripped and re-wrapped and loomed in 3 colors. Makes for a neater and newer look.
