FairladyZ Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Just wanted to say Hi to the Starquest Club. I just recently bought a 88 Starion in mint condition and was recommended by a friend to join the club. Pictures of when I got it before cleaning up: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/S5000698.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/S5000699.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/S5000697.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/S5000702.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/S5000703.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0175.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0176.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0177.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0178.jpg Pictures after cleaning: From this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0192.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0188.jpg To this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0189.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0191.jpg I left half the side skirt dirty and cleaned the other half to show how bad it was. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0190.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/DSC09394.jpg And some goodies that came with the car: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0179.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0180.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0181.jpg And don't mind my name being FairladyZ, I also own a 84 300ZX. FairladyZ has been my common name in other car forums so I just kept it that way. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0182.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/cali559pianist/Cars/PIC-0183.jpg Edit: Reached my limit of posting pictures, will post more when I can. And sorry most of the pictures are from my phone camera. Edited May 5, 2009 by FairladyZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Welcome. To expound on the "Is it a true 89 Starion" comment, there was supposedly only 154 Starions imported in 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairladyZ Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. The Starion I picked up has been sitting non-op for 4 years. It's still running, I was able to drive it 370 miles back to my house. @allen405 Z cars are nice. I'm still looking for a the 84 Anniversary Edition model of the Z31. @Mazarin Really? DAMN! There are some minor damage on the mud guards. @BOHO How would I tell if it is or not? I'm new to Starion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazarin Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yeah, you'll be surprised what things you'll find on these cars. You think you have one thing, and you'll find it's another. Panels or parts from other years are very common on one SQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairladyZ Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Woops just checked my paper work. It's an 88. My bad. And my rear passenger mud guard is damage. Pictures when I get a camera. @BOHO No worries, I wasn't taking anything the wrong way. Thanks for giving me the heads up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
