Another SHOGUN in the werks

[IdealSociety]

an EGT trans also doesnt bolt to a KLZE.

[tderonne]

I want to see somebody build a SHOgun and just leave the wheels sticking out wide. I think it would look better, actually (and save weight...)

Slightly off topic...

Aspire with an Escort GT suspension and trans with a KLZE swap in back wouldn't require wider fenders.

(But a stock bodied Aspire doesn't make the statement a widebody Festiva does now does it?)

My molds are done and I have cast all my parts in fiberglass. Now its a matter of making them straight , spray some epoxy primer on them and fabricate the hooking points to attach to the car.

At this point , since I want to sandblast the car , to make it as close as a show car , I think its safe to say that it wont be completely done until next spring.

Don't worry about the orange peel in the primer (prev. page) you can sand it easily. By now you must have killer biceps :p

From the previous page:

Navid: They only made 7 original shoguns , theres one in Jay Leno garage , one in a museum in the south east US , and the rest is almost anyones guess.

The powertrain is from a 89-95 Ford Taurus SHO (Yamaha built 3.0 or 3.2 V6 making 225hp stock with the redline at 7500 rpm) , The SHO (taurus) is available anywhere in the USA or Canada - more in the US. If you want to buy a powertrain I suggest you to join the shoforum.

The SHO engine was used in the original , and Im also using that engine , but im making it Turbo.


Basement modder : The foam is not staying , its only to mock up to make molds out of it , then cast fiberglass parts in those molds. The foam will be destroyed.

[PhoenixSHO]

The foam is just part of the process, it doesn't stay.....

Correct , im currently making the molds , halfway done. Then all the foam is going in the garbage.

That is quite the machine! I'm dying to hear what the emissions-testing guys will have to say when you roll in with it. And what your insurance company does when they find out it's got the equivalent of 5 stock engines in it. And, with no back seats I guess it also officially becomes a sports car.
You are going to drive it on the road, yes?

No stupid e-tests here yet.

And yes its going to be a sunday driver.

I don't think he intends for it to be kick proof.

[Basement_Modder]

Question- how strong is the foam, and how does it stay on the body? It just looks like you could kick chunks of it off to me...

[walth]

this is awesome. been following your thread since you started and it looks fantabulous!!

[Damkid]

the shogun engine is from the taurus SHO's
