starquestaz Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Would anyone be interested in trading their MPI or swap starion or conquest for cash plus my 87 TSI. It's white, it's got about 104k, motor was rebuild with new head around 90k. It had maroon interior until I did everything black/gray. It's got Corbeau A4 racing seats in it with sliders specifically made for the starion. I also have a different steering wheel on it. The state the car is in right now is to the point where if the mounts/transmission were taken off the motor it could be pulled. All the hoses are disconnected as well as the wiring harness. The wiring harness itself is all discombobulated and I need to go through and try to labelThe motor itself is in totally running shape and has a brand new head/gasket + ARP head studs and shneider valve springs. Stock valves / cams were switched over at the engine/machine shop. I think its called a clearwater head. The stock one cracked near the front so we rebuilt the motor and did the balance shaft elimination and timing kit and all the basic stuff most people do. I have most, but not all of the receipts from all the parts and machine shop. We put everything back together and got it driving again. It ran great there's nothing major wrong with the motor except that everything is not hooked up right now. I never boosted this car over 7-12psi and that was on the stock 12a turbo. The only mods I did were I had a guy make me custom aluminum hard pipes and put a greddy bov on it. I also have 2.5" downpipe from *DM + HKS 2.5" exhaust and a brand new high flow cat on there. It has a 5spd manual and a short shifter installed. It's got Tokiko blue struts and Suspension Techniques lowering springs. Also replaced that hard rubber/plastic cup that the strut slides through in the front and the back. It's an Arizona car so there's no rust. Why is everything torn apart you ask? WELL, that's a long story. Anyways, I thought I would throw it up on here because I know someone might want to restore it with the 2.6L. I had plans of swapping which is why it's almost to the point of pulling the motor. If you're doing swaps often or you probably have a lot more tools/people/resources than me this would be a perfect candidate for your next build. It's not that I don't want to do the work... I love my car so much I bought this car when it had 83,000 on it and have been working on it and on the forums here for 9 years now. I'm selling my subaru which has been my daily driver for a few years now. That's why I'm trying to find another starquest that could possibly replace it and if someone is looking for a good one to build up this is the car to get. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1679.jpg I Edited April 29, 2012 by starquestaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starquestaz Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 my daily might be selling in a week or two... I'm hoping someone wants to trade a good running car (preferably mpi/swap done) for mine plus cash in hand... Even if you're out of state I can figure out a way to get my car to you and pick the other one up. If I can't find another starquest to drive I'm going to have to find something else to buy when I sell my daily which means I won't have any money to put into the starquest and sadly it's just going to keep sitting here... I would rather someone on here that can use it for a track car or whatever you want even just someone that wants to hook everything back up and get it running the way it is... take it because it's never been in an accident and always been in dry weather. The rubber and plastic is obviously hard and cracking at this point which is the downside to being in the desert. The upside is that the frame rails and underneath the car are dirty and have some slight rust in little pockets where water might have been able to sit, but overall the shape of the frame and body is great. There's only one dent in the drivers side door just under the handle on the ridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
