I am about to buy my first Lude and I'm excited as hell! I dont know what to look for exactly (SH or not). Whats the big difference between them?

 

What Year...SH models come with ATTS(traction control)..and a few interios mods not on the Base model....before you buy one make sure you talk to the owner or dealer and find out when the timing belt was changed and misc. stuff about oil changes etc.

 

It's an '01... So then the SH would be a better buy? Timing belt, oooook. I'll check up on that. The owner said they changed oil every 3k. Now i am going to eventually throw in a turbo. I checked out some companies that sell em but they say (not for SH model). whats with that?

 

Check www.turbo-kits.com ...I think with the SH type models theres a bunch of extra hoses and such in the engine bay for the ATTS..so that could cause a problem when you run the intercooler piping and such? Its a really a hands up decision between the SH and Base model if you want traction control then get it...Is it Auto or Manual?

 

Oh it's def gonna be a manual. But thanks for the website n input! I'll check it out now.

 

Congrats man...you will love it for sure! Great choice as well:goodjob:

 

Thanks man! I just cant decide on which one to get yet. I dont want there to be a problem with the intercooler like F22 was sayin there might be. But i might not have a choice in taking the SH cuz its the only manual being sold at a good price. :hsughr:
Do you know if it would be a serious problem if I try to install a turbo?

 

No im sure there is a kit for SH model...just gotta call or whatever and find out....Do you know alot about Turbos?

 

No i dont know much about turbos. I'm such a noob. But i am learning. Just gotta do my homework on it.

 

Yes you do....It takes time and money to make a Turbo kit work like you want it..you should PM Das Schmooo...he knows basically everything about a turbo setup....Well you could make your own setup for about 1.5k or you could just buy a kit for 3k..if money isnt an option for you..you would also need to find a Fuel Management System to manage that new setup..and also take it to the DYNO for a couple of runs to get everything square.
