Colin Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm 18 and just bought an '88 Starion. It's in project shape right now, but I plan to be driving it daily by the end of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) you are going to need some patience with the old car it is not like an eclipse, EVO or WRX-STi. it will need patience and time. make it run properly and then mod it. Welcome. Edited January 17, 2013 by importwarrior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I do plan on restoring it to stock- it's a non-numbers matching car, bought as a shell with an engine and trans put in. Definitely not a perfect car, but it's a good start. The guy I bought it from gave me a great deal on it, included an extra trans, rear, fender, ac compressor, 2 turbos, and side spoilers with it. Right now I have the radiator out of it and hopefully I can put my new one in after work tomorrow along with the ac compressor and lines, and the new fender, hopefully followed by a brief drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
