  1. Where is the link to his thread? I tried searching but didn't find it.
  2. +1 on the door handles. I didn't even notice those I was too busy looking at the stance! LOL Damn... those handles tho... +11111
  3. Wow... those specs... Holy... man I am gonna have to see how you figure that one out. Though if anyone can... it's gotta be you. That is craaaaazy!!!!! Also love the CCW classics. I seriously considered them for my car (not in those specs, heheh) but in the end I had to keep to the crazy budget build philosophy. But I also don't do any performance driving in my car... you on the other hand need a serious wheel. Can't go wrong with CCW.
  4. Thank you sir!! You and DVenable definitely inspired me to go for the bonkers fitment. Can't wait to see what new set of wheels you decide to go with. I'm guessing you're going to have something custom made seeing as your car is a real track warrior! Also I hope you're keeping those HRE 505's... Mostly because I'll want to buy them really really bad... and I don't have the money to. LOL! :-)
  5. Creaky, Yeah I just can't see a 315 working out unless you're going for a full drag look with a nice rake (which could be a really cool look) but yeah I'm running 275's out back with a fairly aggressive stretch and I'm literally at the physical limit of what I could fit under the car. If I was running a -10 offset out back instead of -20 I could go about 14mm lower on the ride height... but not wider on the tire. And remember, the only way my setup clears out back is because I took an angle grinder to my inner fenders and ground the lip down to probably like 5mil at the very top. I don't even think I can run spacers in the front to flush things out because I'm already rubbing all the paint off the inner wells from tire contact when turning. I just got done slapping a bunch of POR-15 inside the wheel wells to last me through the summer season, LOL It all looks cool... but man was this a royal PITA :-)
  6. Finally getting around to uploading some pics from end of last year after I finished the "stance" project. If you wanna call it that Anyway, Enjoy! Full gallery here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79154882@N04/sets/72157642954859454/ But my two favs are below: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3669/13427991504_35dfdfafa2_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2860/13427733213_675041637f_b.jpg
  7. Honestly it's total overkill. And I'm getting to be older and slower, lol... So most of the power is probably lost on me... but damn if it isn't a fun car to drive and even more fun to get peoples reactions when they see it on the road :-)
  8. Randy, The ride is... interesting. It dynoed at 433rwhp. And the ACT clutch and the stock 88 Starion 5 speed are both not happy about all that TQ and HP. Under WOT at low gears the clutch will actually just slip. I need to start planning some upgrades. Probably a Supra tranny or a Tremec. I think once I have that sorted out the car will be a lot more responsive off the line. Though I didn't make the car for racing. I just wanted the experience of driving a balls-crazy vintage Japanese road-racing car on the street. In that respect mission accompished. It's got 280 cams in it so it wants to die at stop-lights all the time. The car requires toe-heel driving constantly. It's slammed with the D2's set to max hard to get as static as possible so the thing skips down the road like a pebble on a lake and the bump-steer is crazy, LOL. It has an Evo 20G turbo so there is some lag with that 2.4l block. It's technically a 4g64 so it still has that truck crankshaft in there :-) Combine all of that and the car is a squirrly handful. I would desdribe the speed and the power like strapping a solid rocket booster to a dump truck. If you're in 3rd on the highway and mash that throttle down (if you can keep the clutch from slipping) the thing will eat up road so fast it's terrifying. The car is definitely in that class where it can bite you if you don't respect it.
  9. Thanks guys! It's pretty dirty in those pics, but it does look pretty good when you see it in person. I'll never understand why Mitsu didn't put the 4g63 in the Starion. If they did these cars would've gone down in history as legendary as the Supra or the Skyline GTR. But I think we all know that Mitsu is a classic story of always close but not quite, LOL!. As Starquest owners I think we all just enjoy the pain :-) Anyway I gotta be honest if I had to do it all over again... I wouldn't. The build was a nightmare. It took years and I had to do it twice to get it right. I think going MPI on the G54B is much easier.
  10. Not the best pics, but a better view of what's going on in there.
  11. Xtreme, Thanks dude! It looks even better in person! will try to get some better pics up eventually. Hachi, The muffler is just a regular old magna-flow muffler with a couple of 2" pieces of straight pipe welded on to make the sleeper-look tips. On the other end the pipe is all 3" cat-less all the way back to the engine. Any decent muffler shop should be able to make you a similar setup at a decent price. Ronnie, Thanks man! Be sure to post pics when you get your car set up. Would love to see it!
