  1. Greetings, I've checked through this post (great post BTW) and it made me wonder how rare my '85 really is I picked up like on a average sunday morning lol, without knowing all of this. Went out to get my papers and indeed he is build at 07/05/1985, on my papers though it state, he is a 1983, but build date 07/05/1985 VIN number: JMBA183AMFZ****** As I understand this model of Intercooled flatty was only build for 1 month and no one knows how many there are in the world ? Or even how many there are still in driving condition ?
  2. You can check your year like this on this post: http://www.starquest...howtopic=124428 MODEL YEAR D = 1983 J = 1988 E = 1984 K = 1989 F = 1985 L = 1990 G = 1986 M = 1991 H = 1987 CHECK DIGIT If you jack your rear end up, and spin 1 wheel and the other spins same direction you have LSD, if it spins opposite direction you have normal. Also something with an orange sticker in your driver door panel ... http://www.starquest...1 http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/VIN_Decode.jpg
  3. A flatty jeej What year ? I guess it's a 2.6 ? And you have some nice hot-rods standing there in back view ...
  4. Have lately destroyed so much, wanted to have some nice stuff now Started cleaning at work and painting a couple of stuff, dunno if it's final color though, will see ... Turbo and the lines in the middle could be done in white, to stand out Used paint stripper, spray'd it on and it was already kinda nice, as it was nice shiny metal, but hey better have some color on it, right ... ? http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000817.jpg Inside started cleaning, it was kinda rusty and stuff, it still needs work ! http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000820.jpg Came out nice, compare how it looked, nice black plastic paint. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000821.jpg http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000824.jpg This was a whole other story, it was bumped like told. Pressed it out with pressure pump as best I could. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000828.jpg Still have a little dent in it near the overflow bolt. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000830.jpg All the goo is out and rust is almost all out ... http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000831.jpg All rust gone and nicely cleaned up. Most important all the little pieces of metal are out, used high pressure for a long long time, small iron particles kept on coming out. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000832.jpg
  5. Yup I had separated first, to clean thoroughly, was moss building on places where you couldn't get without disassemble the whole thing first. But the good thing is now I can respray the mirror so it's like a new light. It is/was hell though to get the old factory seal out of the seat, to reseal it good and clean. Need to say, that the little reflectors in the tails still have some dirt in between and now a small bit of water came through, and can't seem to open them up without breaking or scratching, so that's gonna have to do for now.
  6. Am serious thinking of testing with this D2 setup, as they are kinda cheap and I guess I can adjust them to maximum stiffness and highest setting, maybe need another spring but that's after testing with them. Have read bad stuff about these D2's but also good stuff. I'm not sure yet though about how we gonna attach the front set to the axle .... Need to figure it out still. And while I'm testing these D2's am gonna gonna make some Koni inserts of my original set, to test with. So we can compare. http://www.ebay.com/itm/D2-RACING-RS-COILOVER-82-90-STARION-CONQUEST-SUSPENSION-/190467094772?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AStarion&vxp=mtr&hash=item2c58b938f4#ht_5898wt_1396 http://cross.wrw.be/private/D21.jpg http://cross.wrw.be/private/D22.jpg
  7. Guess those spoilers are standard over here as they are on all 3 of my starions, exactly the same. All 3 also have the light washers Am gonna look with care after them from now on as didn't know that was exclusively for European cars. We tested with 3 different ignitors, all the same. + he heated up when under power and gave the correct readings when measured him ... So I don't know, also tested both ECU and different distributors, the only thing we didn't really changed was that knockbox thing as we didn't know a whole lot about it, for what is used for exactly ....
  8. Have been started to look for DOGC 16v or SOHC 8v heads already, but or they are in expensive cars still or people just ask arms and legs for'm. I think I gonna go for the fully aftermarket Emerald ECU and cabling, as we can look and search for all kind of problems in wires, ECU, boxes, plugs, connectors, fuses and all sort of stuff for hours and hours and hours even months to find why we can't get ignition or fuel. With the emerald + cabling, we know that it will work. I kept the mounts for sure ! We kept nearly everything from the donor! Those things are ruined in racing allot, we now gonna remake them tho, so they last a bit longer.
  9. Think this is the European version as I got 3 and most except some nuances is the same. got luck though, got 2 '83 hoods, and the lights as I do like those lights more then the black striped ones, but that's taste I guess.
  10. Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking ^^
  11. Opening up the block. First things first ... oil pan, was bumped, BADLY. So we came up with the reason why this car is set aside for nearly 18 years. Oil pan was dented up and blocked the oil pickup tube. So no oil for the bearings, car we guess was overheated and the bearing of the balance shaft gave way. It was forced out and got inside the engine, the guy prolly heard a rattling noise and pulled over 18 years ago and never looked back. The bearing looked nothing like a round shape no more it was just twisted metal and was giving out louds of small pieces of the material, the engine was filled with it all over the place. I'm glad we found the reason why it was set aside, now we can start to fix it. You can see on top of the pic left, bearing of the balance shaft and the discolorisation, like blue-ish of the overheating. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000772.jpg Does anyone know what these markings mean ? Is it a 8 or a B or is it even 13 C 13 13 ... ? It's like right where the oil cover was mounted. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000783.jpg Engine is very clean, all the bearings 'could' be reused even, but I won't, gonna place in new ones ! Idea's over good ones would be nice, should I get different ones then OEM or should I get forged or something ? Maybe I need oversized cause gonna let the crank measured and if needed reworked. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000785.jpg http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000787.jpg Some pics of the hole where the balance bearing needed to be and rubbed balance shaft itself. Was planning on eliminating it anyway so the scratches won't really matter. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000791.jpghttp://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000792.jpghttp://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000794.jpg
  12. Hey hey! Yeah those are EU spec 2.0l Turbo's. I don't want 2.6l as there are little less sharp in the low RPM. And yea there is loads of useful info on this board indeed, we look like a rookie compared to many people here, and w'r wrenching for years on cars for autocross, but never with Turbo and or with 200+ HP cars tho. About the 16valve head, I can if I'm not mistaken can use a couple of heads. Like out of the Lancer VR4 SOHC But there are options I can use DOHC heads aswell, like ... out of an Mitsu Eclipse 2.0 Turbo and some other options, dunno out of my head. So searching for crashed cars and or on scrapheap to find a good head, prefer DOHC 16v.
  13. Follow up: engine taken apart. Engine with drivetrain. http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000661.jpg New toy's for looking like a pro http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000704.jpg Starion in a box http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000729.jpg Start of the build off, ready to go ! -10°C out side, but we put through ! http://cross.wrw.be/private/WP_000746.jpg
