  1. Anyone still around San Jose? Might stop by the old school meet this Thursday. My Starion may need to find a new home and I thought it may be a good place to start. Steve
  2. Does a Starion Dif work in the trucks? I have one from an '88 (~125000 miles) I need to get rid of. It will be on its way to the recycle bin here in the next week. Wish I could have made the meet, but I broke my foot instead. I would have brought that Airdam for Mario if I would have known. Steve
  3. The shipping on these things hurts, its like $60+ these days. I've got a new factory one in the box(unpainted, white gelcoat) down here in San Jose if you are interested for $300. Steve
  4. I still have a new factory 88-89 airdam in the garage. OEM Poly in white gelcoat primer ready for paint, not a knockoff fiberglass. $300 Steve San Jose
  5. I have a brand new factory Airdam sitting in its box in my garage. Its got the white gel coat on it and ready to paint. I got it from the Ebay guy a while back but also ended up coming across a slightly used one before I got around to getting it painted. $300 plus shipping Steve San Jose, CA
  6. How much are looking to spend? I'm starting to feel bad for mine just sitting in the driveway but between the STI and the bicycles, its just not getting much action these days and its beginning to look worse from all the sitting making me feel even guiltier. It's not a show car but a good driver. Its worst vise now is oil consumption and the toll of th sun on the repaint and the leather. I'd love to see what it would do with a good set of rings. My value on it is the sum of its parts which probably places it in the $4K range. '88 Red Starion with 10 year repaint that is starting to go Black Interior still in good shape but the leather is a little hard and the drivers seat has split open. Dynamatted doors and trunk, semi decent Stereo install Stedebani bushings, strut ties, camber plates H&R springs over Tokicos Relocated battery 3" turbo back Stainless Exhaust MAF Translator with 3.5in GM MAF hi torque Banshee cam with roller rocker setup in Marnal head, Matched ports, '83 valves Ported exhaust 14G Turbo MSD 6AL (currently unhooked) newer injectors (about 6 years ago) 110 Amp Alt Redid timing chains etc when head was done. All new steering hardware and rebuilt steering gear box, no slop. http://goldnblack.net/pics/albums/Starion/0611194.jpg http://goldnblack.net/pics/albums/Starion/0612012.jpg
  7. Is that Ron Hernandez that you sold it to? He kept letting his daughter wreck every nice Starquest he put together...
  8. I certainly wouldn't send them any money... There has got to be some local resources you can deal with face to face. Money back guarentees are worthless if you ask me. That's like a stamp saying, "yeah, we're going to rip you off and hope you can't jump through the hoops to get your money back. I'll see if I can get a hold of our real estate agent friend. Maybe I can get some advic e from him. Steve
  9. I have a chromed OVCP with the TurboXS mount. It necks down to fit the stock piping on the one end but I don't have any couplers with it. $120 shipped, Let me know. As shown on my car, There is a slight little rub spot on the end by the BOV and you can jsut make out the slight kink where the compound curve before the throttle body wasn't perfect. BUt I'm picky so I picked up another one. http://goldnblack.net/ForSale/OVCP07.jpg
  10. You'll have to find some one who doesn't know much about cars or is willing to look the other way and risk their job and/or business to get past the visual inspection. It may run better and cleaner but that doesn't mean jack to California. Even if the MPI looks stock, they will be looking for the secondary air system and the EGR valve that most don't try to fit on with the MPI.
  11. I think I have 1 of each for the drivers side in the garage. I'm in West San Jose near Saratga/Lawrence Epwy if you want to come take a look. Steve
  12. Was it a one time deal on the seats or is he willing to do more at that price? I'd love to get mine fixed and repadded even if it is with just pleather.
  13. A blip in this months(Feb 07) Grassroots motorsports states that "TEIN can now do custom, rebuildable struts based on OE housings. Options include single- and twin-tube setups as well as threaded bodies, adjustable damping and various upper mounts." No price estimates of course. Probably because if you need to ask you can't afford them....
  14. Another good way is to unfasten the top of the strut, disconnect the sway bar so the suspension arm will drop easily then get the strut top out form the wheel well. Once you remove that extra side loading it is much easier to get out.
