  1. I just bought a side AC condenser from Justo and wanted to let everyone know he was great to deal with. His description was right on target. He packed it well and shipped it quick. A great guy to do business with. Ken
  2. Hey, that's a thought, a caravan to Macon. When is everyone planning to head down? Ken (you know, the other one, the one that doesn't pilot starfighters. ....Be cool if I did though....vrrrrrooooommmm)
  3. If anyone has a good condition side AC condenser for an 88 automatic please let me know. Ken

  5. Hi all, looking for the 88-89 tranny cooler and the 88 Automatic side AC Condenser, also need the two discharge pipes from the main condenser to the side condenser and brackets. The side AC condenser was on some 88 automatics and sits behind the airdam on the driver's side, like a mirror image of the tranny cooler. My son wrecked his car, here is a pic of some of the damage. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3344011751_f02e2c27ae_o.jpg Any help is appreciated. Ken
  6. Hey Guys, wanted to get some advice and help in locating either original used parts or to see if anyone has experience with aftermarket parts. My son joined the Marine Corps last year, he fell in love with my SQ and he really wanted his own, so when he came home on leave after graduating Marine boot camp he found a black 88 automatic waiting on him. While on leave that week he was driving down a back road one night when a deer jumped out, he swerved to miss it, went too far onto the shoulder hit an embankment and some nice sized rocks. He is now in California in training and I want to get his car back on the road for him so he can enjoy it on his next leave. The accident damaged the right fender, shattered the original airdam and banged up the transmission fluid oil cooler and smashed the secondary AC condenser plus damaged the lines to it. I have a new airdam and can get the fender repaired. Here are some pics of the damage. I would appreciate any thoughts and info on parts. My parts car was missing the secondary AC condenser and the fluid cooler was already damaged worse. I am not much of a mechanic and want to make sure I get this done right for him so any advice is much appreciated.-Thanks! I think the fluid oil cooler in Photo B could be saved. The brackets are damaged but might be able to be straightened. The secondary AC condenser in Photo C looks beyond repair to me. Brackets are really bad. The lines need to be replaced to the AC condenser as you can see in Photo E. The lines are badly crimped.

  7. Hey Guys, I've been wanting to meet as many of you as possible. I plan on being there, really looking forward to it. Ken
  8. Forgive a newbie is I ask a dumb question but has any one seen the Japanese movie " Drift SS" ? BRIEF SUMMARY: A Middle aged retired rally driver name Daibutsu sets out to make his comeback by rebuilding his Mitsubishi Starion 4WD which he nicknamed Jackie. He then begins challenging people to illegal street races. Ken http://cgi.ebay.com/Japanese-Movie-Drama-D...Q2em118Q2el1247
  9. Thanks Guys, I appreciate the welcome! Fanta- I look forward to the next Sonics meet. Chuck641-Nice to know I have a neighbor so close. We definitely need to meet sometime and I appreciate the offer. I'll be needing help I'm sure. Here are some pics of my ride, looks much better in the photos, needs lots of work. I am hoping to make it to Pigeon Forge. So what goes on there? I only know you guys meet and hang out and I read something about a drive through the mountains. Ken
  10. Hello All, I have been lurking in shadows for awhile now and this is my first post, figured it was time I said howdy. First, I want to say thanks to many great people who have made this site so invaluable, it sure has been a big help. Tons of great info and advice. I can see a lot of people put a lot into this - Thank You All !. I have read hundreds of posts and feel like I know many of you. If you are interested here is my Quest story. Back in ‘85 I was in my early twenties and while driving late one night through Oak Ridge Tennessee I saw my first Conquest sitting on a car hauler at a car lot. I nearly wrecked trying to pull over. My girlfriend at the time was not happy I left her abandoned in the car as I ran across a highway and a field to get to the car lot. I fell down on my knees beside a jet black Quest and swore I had to have one. Next business day no amount of begging or threats would get the dealership to sell me one, since I had no credit at the time and not much of a job. Fast forward three and half years and I had a good job, just got a promotion, had saved some money, and could get the car of my dreams. A black 88. I had it nearly four years before it was murdered by an idiot who didn't know a red light means stop. By then I had a kid and lots of responsibilities so had to be practical about a replacement. I promised myself I would get another Conquest someday. About a year ago while traveling some back roads in Georgia I spotted a car sitting derelict in a farm yard driveway. Something about it seemed familiar. It was when I went past that I realized it was a Conquest. The memories of my favorite car came back to me and the promise I had forgotten about. A few miles later on I did a U-Turn. I went back and knocked on the door. It had been sitting there dead almost ten years. We made a deal on the spot. I have it running but it needs lots of work, time is a luxury so it's been slow going. But when I get behind the wheel I have a grin you couldn't pry off with a crow bar. I kick myself for not getting one sooner. I would love to meet you guys and hope to make to a meet sometime. I make a terrible mechanic but an old dog is trying to learn as I go. I have only seen a few other Starquests in the junkyard and think I would go nuts if I saw some of the rides you guys have. I have read about Pigeon Forge and can’t imagine seeing that many Starquests. I would like to meet some of you fellow Georgia boys too. Thanks to all of you again and hope to meet you! Ken Frye
