DSM ATC Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Greetings from South Florida! I'm Chris. I currently own a 97 Eclipse GSX as a fun car. I've had turbo Ford Rangers, IS300 turbo, and an Eclipse GST in 2002. After looking around I found an auto 88Starion that I'm going to buy and go the 2JZ route. Just want to say thanks for the amount of info the members of this board has provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzrider Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Good choice! Are you going r154 trans or auto? The auto cars I hear have a bigger tunnel and dont need any convincing to fit the big toyota trans so good choice on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM ATC Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) I was thinking about sticking with the auto tranny. A friend who owns ASAP Performance down here has done work on a 2JZ 240SX stock block never been opened up and the toyota auto transmission running 8's at 154ish. That car has very little work in it. This car I'm looking at seems to be a good condition and he's asking $800. Edited June 9, 2013 by DSM ATC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzrider Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Good stuff man. Do some digging around and read all the swap/build threads and you'll be good to go! Literally everything is in here somewhere. Its amazing a step by step guide basically for something as rare as a jz swap into a starion!

prototype78 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Is that the silver one on craigslist? !...if that so it looks in good shape ans is only missing a starter and rebuilt the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM ATC Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yeah that's it. I went to look at it today. It has a few rust spots here and there. It's missing the cowl between the windshield and hood, and the front bumper is broken. Interior has a few broken plastics but dash is great and the black leather seats aren't in the best of shape but snot bad considering age. I'll sleep on it and go from there.

DSM ATC Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looks like I'll be picking th car up for $600. Even though I plan a 2JZ swap, is there anything in particular I should be looking for before I pick it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
