radiation Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) So this will be either the 2nd or 3rd time I am honestly trying to put this car back together. This time I have cash in hand ready to order parts TODAY. Problem is I have been out of the "Scene" so long that vendors,and parts among other things have changed.The end result will be 100% cleaned up with upgraded turbo, hard-pipes, brakes, bigger I/C. Once all that is done will most likely start working on MPI. MPI is the end thought but will probably not be with in 2013. Right now I am focusing on the main items to get it derivable. Stuff already done to vehicleFully built, forged internal motorUpgraded clutchLightened Flywheel3in no-cat turbo back exhaustMain Items to start withBrakes - Drilled or slotted with comparable padsBrake line - Steel braidedTires - I am not 100% sure on tires anymore, But I want some meat in the backRadiator - I can probably clean this one up and make it work for now but I do want to up grade, Any thoughts on an affordable upgrade?Plugs - what most using now?Wires - Best place to buy?Vehicle Specs1988 StarionNon-SHP5 SpeedBlack exteriorBlack w/black suede interiorStock 7in Front, 8in, Rear RimsI am basically looking for the current parts known to be good, also the sites that are good to use, and the ones not to use. Thanks you for your helps guys. Bryan Edited December 17, 2012 by radiation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Drilled/slotted rotors aren't really gonna help unless you're racingStainless braided brake lines are always a good upgrade.Cleaned stock radiator works well until you seriously up the power.BUR7ES-11 are the plugs to use.Generic/cheap wires work fine.

spadey Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Stock rads do work good but if you want a pretty cheap upgrade check this http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113241#entry1100703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Brakes & pads you can get from ebay. I got them and they're good, plus cheaper and easier to find then stock replacements. Go figure.Steel brake lines are a great upgrade. You can get those on ebay or various other sites. A little pricey.Factory SHP tire size is getting tough to find, especially a 45 sidewall.Best affordable upgraded radiator is for a Nissan Sylvia SR20DET from ebay. Minor modifications to get it to fit. Plugs use NGK 7031 rockauto.comWires use NGK blue's rockauto.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 BUR7ES-11 are the plugs to use. Plugs use NGK 7031 rockauto.com Just to clarify, these 2 numbers are the same plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I know, for me it's easier to remember the 4 digit number rather than the entire part #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the OP may think we are recommending different plugs. Hence the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Very true. I forget I'm not a noob anymore sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
