Ah yes ... thats what's missing.

I have a 2.5 inch downpipe, but it's only a downpipe, I don't have the rest of the exhaust system. I had a JMFab custom make it for me years ago, but I'm running an MK1 turbo back now.

There's a plastic surround housing that that switch sits inside of. It looks like that is missing in your photo. I'm assuming thats the cancellation switch that's just to the right of the hood release? It's a little hard to tell where your at on the dash in that photo.

Popped my hood, but not much of a help. I can't see that connector, esp with the battery in place. I'll be pulling the battery though shortly. If you still haven't figured it out by then I'll take a look for you.

I can pop my hood and look when I get home today.

X2. I just bought something from Steffan a few weeks back and I've dealt with him years ago when he was up here in the NJ area. Good Dude, I'd buy from him anytime.

That is 1000% an AI write-up. I agree, probably leaving some money table, but hey, it's his car so I guess in the end he has the right to list it how he wants.

Great back story Randy. I kinda always wondered how you ended up with the name Dad on the forum.

This was just posted close to me on FB. https://www.facebook.com/share/L4EguMqZRo2ioQab/

Agreed. I had a similar situation a few years back. Take it all apart, clean it up and coat it with white lithium grease and see what happens.

I second Dad, keep them out if the motor runs smoothly. They are just more potential for failure. I had balance shafts in a previous SQ that got low on oil pressure, the shaft got hot, expanded and seized in the motor trashing the whole thing. I had to pull the motor and rebuild the whole thing. That time I eliminated the shafts. Never looked back.

There's another company I've used, but I can't think of the name right now. It's not a pen, but they sell little oz containers of auto paint. You need to also purchase the clear coat to make it match perfect, but it's been great for me - if you take your time and do it well, you can't even tell. When I get home from work, I'll check the name and post it up.

I have also used imageshack since the beginning and i just pay a yearly fee. But when the board crashed I had to relink all the photos, so they are probably missing the pics.

The whole Photobucket incident screwed over many forums.

There's some truth to that for sure. 😁

Are you talking about the "Star Wars" style looking font they use the on the very early cars? Or the blocky text they used later? I always liked the early Starion text style.

I hear what your saying Mike, I think until we can get new threads built with the same information and fresh pictures it's at least "something" to have the text. And that's the trouble with any tutorial style thread, they take time to create. I can say from personal experience it takes twice as long to do a project b/c I'm constantly stopping work to position pieces and take photos. I do agree though there is probably random threads of random discussion that could probably go - it's just sifting through it all and then it boils down to that persons opinion as to what is legit and what's not.

So the fitment on the revised one is MUCH better. It's snug without being sloppy, but it does require some force to get on still. For some reason the Nylon is 3D printing with stringy filament hanging off. I had to clean it up a bit with an Xacto. Sorry for the dirty old TB I'm using for testing.

I printed 4 more the other day at work at a slightly adjusted size. I've yet to walk out to the garage to see how they fit. Definitely will have some time to take a look tomorrow.

I know of another person in the club here looking for one of these, they can be difficult to find.

Mech ... did you ever install the MK1 chamber plates? I just removed my rear suspension and I dont see any way to access the adjustment screws since the strut tower opening is so small. Wondering what you did IF you installed them.

Sorry it's been so long since I got back to this - busy at work. So, the one I made out of Nylon fits on, but I had to really force it. It's a tad tight, I couldn't even push it all the way down. I gotta lossen up the tolerances a bit and reprint. I think it'll be good on the 2nd try. If so, I'll send GTRBillet the file and hopefully we can get these made out of derlin.

I've dine this before with several cars. I really like using Simple Green. An old toothbrush can be really helpful too for all the tight spots. Never done the Starion bay before, but mines not really very dirty either.

The 2 green ones I made out of ABS yesterday just to test fit them, but I couldn't get them to print right, I keep getting melty inner layer of plastic in the inside for some reason. I'm not sure why, it's set to solid and high quality. This morning I made the black one out of Nylon. I'll test fit it tonight and see how it fits and adjust the file as necessary. The Nylon is currently set to medium quality.
