Starquester4life Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I picked up a 89 SHP TSI automatic out of Missouri and after two months of tinkering she's on the road! Looking at a 87 ESI-R also, it's a manual and I think would be nice to own one two! These cars are so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starquester4life Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 My replacement radiator doesn't have holes in which to screw in thermo switch.. How can I manually or automatically get my fans to kick on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 These cars are much happier in pairs or at least with fellow boosted mitsu's, my car tells me so lol. Cool to get two but one alone is a handful to fix up, but hey save as many from death as you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 My replacement radiator doesn't have holes in which to screw in thermo switch.. How can I manually or automatically get my fans to kick on? You can get a e-fan kit from most autoparts stores that will have a type of thermo switch that doesn't have to be mounted into bung holes like the stock ones. It would probably be better to pull the radiator and adding the bungs back in. If you have ever sweated plumbing, you can do it. mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 If not a radiator shop can do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starquester4life Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Just picked up an 87 Starion, now I can call myself a true Starquest owner. It's a 5spd and much more fun to drive than the automatic conquest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack86 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Looks like a nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starquester4life Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 It looked like crap when I found it... had a buddy paint & polish wheels, valve cover,turbo heat shield, ovc pipe, and got the cone filter. Had to replace radiator.. deleted the a/c. It's been fun! I'm going to get more pics of the Starion tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
