twojayzeestarion Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I got this car from 800$ in Portland Oregon. It spent pretty much its entire life in California before being picked up by one of Roberts friends and left to set for 4 years until I saw it. It was everything I have ever looked for in a Starion. 88, shp, black on buck skin, and a 100% corossion/accident free California car The day I got ithttp://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af108/scooterdude92/Mobile%20Uploads/1511478_782857195069709_7064409418590667597_n.jpghttp://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af108/scooterdude92/Mobile%20Uploads/10703846_782857221736373_272754328454315025_n.jpghttp://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af108/scooterdude92/Mobile%20Uploads/1462904_782857241736371_205433597808796641_n.jpgSomebody robbed the tan seats.

twojayzeestarion Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The car didn't come with a motor but I didn't care because I had one setting that I had found on craigslist for 200$ I went to work and had it in two days later. Didn't take any pics but I have one of when it was in the carhttp://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af108/scooterdude92/Mobile%20Uploads/10620809_784007004954728_3959031238177668391_n.jpgI also had my exhaust done I used mookeeh's 3" exhaust because it came with the car. It didn't fit the way I wanted it to ( didn't fit very well at all to be honest) so I cut it all up ordered a borla xr-1 blow threw muffler and welded it back together the way it should have came...http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af108/scooterdude92/Mobile%20Uploads/10358568_793791437309618_8703892451927619874_n.jpgThis motor ran just fine for about 2 months and then the turbo blew its seals. Being that I lived in Oregon money pretty literally grew in my back yard and I saved up enough to finally do what I had dreamed of for almost 5 years a 2jz swap.. So I went back to work and built a ghetto little garage to build it in as the wet season had also beganThen I started pulling everything aparthttp://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af108/scooterdude92/Mobile%20Uploads/10734265_808533602502068_5777490859789467443_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the fuel line was left on the jz in scaved it bolted up to starion fuel filter.
