  1. It's not his, it's Steve's who runs the Starquestparts.net website. He's in Virginia.
  2. Man Kev ... I know pictures can sometimes be deceiving, but the car looks really sharp in these photos you posted. It's come a long way. You're inspiring me to try my hand at painting this VR4 myself.
  3. I used the DupiColor trim and bumper paint to repaint mine before install. I lovecthat stuff. I've used it a ton of times on many cars all with good results.
  4. Nope, just snapped it on with the clips. It runs UNDER the left and right side trim peices so that helps hold it down too.
  5. It's been a minute but I think I bought mine through Vibrant Performance when I did my restoration. I replaced all of it. It was like 11-13 feet or something crazy like that.
  6. This was one of the first jobs I ever did when I bought my first Quest many moons ago. I was able to do the whole job without removing too many things - mostly just air intake stuff. I do remember I had a difficult time snaking it into place. Do you have a crow's foot wrench? I'd use one of those so you don't round anything.
  7. Johnny Wadd has a post from 2013 in this section on how to do this, but like so many other threads, all the pics are missing, so here's my recreation of this process: You can remove the console latch with the center console still installed in the car. You do NOT have to remove it the whole console unless you want to for some reason. For this tutorial, this console was already removed. First, remove the flocked bin/cubby inside your console by prying up on it. It'll pop out. Next, remove the two hinge bolts that hold the lid. The lid will be removable at this point. Now remove the 4 larger screws you see. Under the map lid you will find 5 smaller screws. Remove all five. Remove the hard plastic piece and you'll have access to the latch. If it's broken, it may just fall out. Don't lose the spring. Wrap the coil spring around your new / or repaired console latch like so. Back in the lid there are two VERY small pin holes. Carefully feed the two posts on the coil spring into the console lid pin holes and snap the latch gently into place. It should look like this. Reverse the process and put the map holder back in with the 5 screws. If the spring is installed properly the latch will be "sprung" into a downward position. When latched, it'll sit in a downward position like so. The act of pulling up on it will unlatch it and allow you open the console lid. The plastic tab on the latch should catch on the plastic ledge cast into the console as shown. That's it. You've replaced, or repaired your center console latch. Reinstall the rest of the screws as necessary put your lid back on the console and enjoy your ride on step closer to perfection!
  8. Finally got a batch of these printed up this week: The glossier 6 on the left are PETG. The more flat black 2 on the right are ABS. I was having some distortion issues with the ABS and had to throw a bunch of them out b/c I wasn't happy with the quality. I have another batch of 6 going in PETG as we speak. If anyone wants one, 15 shipped should do it (10+5 shipping). Shoot me a PM and I'll get one out to you. Things are kinda dead around here these days unfortunately, but if there's enough continual interest I'll put a formal F/S thread in the Bazaar and I can print them as needed.
  9. I honestly don't remember anymore. 🤔
  10. Gotcha. Car im referring to I sold to screen name "coldscript" - dont know if that was Elliot or not. Fun video regardless. I've watched a couple of their videos before.
  11. What a fun watch. Awesome. They really did a nice job cleaning it up. That car wasn't originally red was it? I sold one of your boys a red 87 back in like 2011-ish.
  12. Beagle ... let me give this a print tomorrow at work and try it out on my car. I'll keep you posted.
  13. I'm not sure if I have a black spool of PETG. I'll have to check. If not, it looks like ABS is good up to about 17O degrees, which should be good for an interior I'd think.
  14. Love the color combo with the black wheels.
