What shape are the radiators? The one in my 83 starion rusted while it was parked and burst when I started it up. Just need a replacement. I can get one for about $130 shipped from rockauto. Don't need anything fancy.

Who gots a rumored 83's with no factory boost cut?
mooser83 replied to 83stariontravis's topic in Flatbody Mechanic
I had an all original 83 before the engine died and it always cut around 9-10 PSI. I tried removing the map entirely (causing the in dash boost gauge to stop working) I got another 83 that had some modifications to it. I ran it at 18PSI briefly as a test, but I kept it at 11-12 psi. Its has the stock 83 TB and injectors, but it was converted to run an intercooler. It also has what appears to be a rising rate fuel pressure regulator (i think) If you want me to take a look at anything on the car let me know. I just can't drive it yet, I just started working on it to get it back on the road recently after sitting for 3 years. It needed a power steering pump and brakes when I decided to put it in storage. About a mile before getting there it started spewing oil under the hood onto the windshield (yey) When I went to take it out the old battery dead was and won't take a charge. I jumped it to see where the oil leak was and the radiator puked all over the ground and no oil came out of anywhere so it will be a few weeks until I have it all sorted out. -
The parts car has been sold. The good Starion is still for sale.

Sorry I have not updated most as to the parts. I have not had time to get to the parts nor the computer between work, kids and moving. I am selling the rest of the parts car and my other starion as I do not have time to work on either nor the space. Link to selling of the cars. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138512 Life has thrown a good curve ball my way and I have to keep my priorities straight for the family.

My wife and I are moving and have no space. I have to get rid of the car. I have a 1983 Mitsubishi Starion with ~146k miles. All of the modifications done to it were by the previous owner so I'm not 100% on all of the details. It has a stock turbo with a manual boost controller. It has an intercooler setup from a later model Starion as well as some fuel stuff (filter and some type of regulator) The only thing I have done to it was I had a shop put a new clutch on it. The car runs great, but after starting it up recently (after letting it sit for over a year) there seems to be a small coolant leak. The leak is only when the engine is running and I'm not mechanically inclined enough, nor do I have the time, to figure it out. I'm looking for $2000. The car is located near Syracuse NY.

Sorry for the delay folks. My wife and I were "served" some unexpected paperwork yesterday regarding my step son that absorbed the majority of my weekend. I will get pictures of requested parts as soon as possible.
-
The tailights have been sold. I will get some of the pictures requests posted ASAP.
-
Some of the emblems have been removed and put on my other Starion (as the ones on that car had been painted over) I will work on this.

The car has only a few thousand more than the 90k when I got it. It has sat for over 2 years since it developed an issue with the engine. It has been stored in a garage for a year and outside with an expensive cover for another year. The car is still in great shape, but I can't fix the engine issues and it'll be too much to get it fixed. I have another 1983 (with more miles) but I've put more money into that one. Plus I have already taken the injectors and a fender from it and don't have the time or space to keep both (along with the other 5 project car/jeeps I have) I will be responding to messages as quickly as possible. Hood and tails have a lot of interest and I have people in order based on the time they messaged me or posted interest in the thread. Thanks, Matt
-
That was the idea, less for me to deal with. However, it looks like its going the way of parts though due to quick interest in the hood and tails (not a big surprise there)
-
Currently there are 3 others (Walker and 2PMs) in line before you for them. You are #4 in line for both items.
-
The tailights have been sold. Here is the best I could get of the hood. $300. I do not wish to ship this item. http://mooser83.com/starquest/images/photo%204.JPG More to come. If you have a request I will work on that first.

** Edit 8/12/13 ** Sorry I have not updated most as to the parts. I have not had time to get to the parts nor the computer between work, kids and moving. I am selling the rest of the parts car and my other starion as I do not have time to work on either nor the space. Link to selling of the cars. http://www.starquest...howtopic=138512 Life has thrown a good curve ball my way and I have to keep my priorities straight for the family. **** It's finally that time. I have to get rid of my parts Starion as my wife and I will be moving soon and we have WAY to many cars to move again. I am going to part out as much of it as I can. I prefer not to ship large pieces if possible. I am located in Central New York State (near Syracuse.) I will not be selling the fuel injectors. Pretty much everything else on it that I can remove is up for sale. I plan to scrap the car at the end of June or middle of July. The car has a grey cloth interior and black exterior. It does not run (engine has a major problem beyond my knowledge) It is missing the passenger side front fender. I posted a few pictures. I will post more this weekend. If someone wants to take the car as a whole, it currently is almost complete minus the front pass fender, fuel injectors, the turbo heat shield and gas tank (I removed the tank but I still have it) I'll take $1000 for it, I have a clear NYS title for it. Yes, it has the 1983 hood on it that is in very good shape. It had a skull sticker on it and I removed it but you can still see the sticky stuff from the sticker. I didn't use any special sticky remover as I wasn't sure if that stuff would damage the paint, so I left it. More to come as I start disassembly this weekend. **edited for typos and comment about pictures**
