ls1project Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) 3k firm as it sits!!!!! 2.5 without seats or rims!!!!! Hey everyone, after 3 years of trying to swap my Starion, I think it's time to move on. The goal of the car was a reliable daily drivable 12 second car that got 25 mpgs. Black 1988 Mitsu Starion automatic 150k, which means larger trans tunnel, a must have for this swap. The body itself is 99% rust free. There is only a very small spot starting to bubble around the wheel well, which is pictured. There is a few small nicks and a couple small dimples. Also, there is 1 good sized dent behind the gas door, but overall the car is in very good shape for the miles and year. I installed a msd 2225 fuel pump in the stock location to feed the ls1. The car has SHP wheels(no curb rash) and decent tread falkens, 255/50/16 rear and 225/50/16 front. ABS is eliminated. Air dam is intact and in good shape with only a couple cracks. Interior-Interior is in great shape. The only bad part are the leather seats. However, included in sale are some very nice and rare 1989 black cloth seats. The gauges are aftermarket Stewart Warner electrical gauges mounted in stainless. The shifter is a non installed B&M Megashifter. Engine-1998 ls1 out of an SS. 4l60e automatic trans. It has 98k miles and I do have the vin for the swap, so it was not stolen. 05 GTO oil pan. The PCM and harness were sent out to wait4meperformance.com and all unnecessary wires were removed from the harness. They also eliminated the anti-theft, rear 02s, egr, compensated for tire size, and added a performance tune. The harness has wires going to the gauges, ignition and starter, and everything is labeled. Mounts were made by me and look kind of ghetto, but are strong and work... They are flipped gen 1 sbc mounts with stock ls rubber. The headers are the same story. I did not have the resources to make or buy nice tubular custom longtubes, and it is an extremely close fit to the steering box. However, the ones i have made will work good, at least better than the stock manifolds. Whats left to buy-- Radiator and hoses. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRI-1-25201-X/ this griffin will work and is only $179- Front sway bar bushings. Lost them somehow. These will work tho. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-9-5126G/- Hood pins. The radiator will be in the way of the latch, so you'll need some.- Driveshaft. - Some pipes and a muffler to finish the exhaust. I have some 2.5 inch bends to finish the Y-pipe. - Battery- Fuel pressure regulator. All the ls swap guys use the 99 vette fpr/filter. It's only like $40 dollars from the zone, and it has the return right off of it.- Air filter What's left to do- - Do something with the exhaust. It's open header right now. I was gonna do a Y-pipe into 3 inch all the way back with a stock-appearing muffler, and there is room to do this, but buy it and do what you want.- Heat protection around the headers and steering box as they are very close.- Wire the whole set up. Again the new harness has made this very easy.- Mount PCM.- Make some kind of air intake. I was going to do a 90 degree coupler into a piece of pipe into a cone filter.- Hook up the shifter- Trans cooler lines. I was going to reuse the stock starquest cooler, but it probably needs cleaned.- Fuel lines http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1323.jpg ONLY rust spothttp://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1324.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1326.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1328.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1329.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1330.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1334.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1336.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1337.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1338.jpg msd pumphttp://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1339.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1346.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_0015.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1059.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1488.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1489.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/scottjames86/100_1490.jpg Price is 4000 obo.
