You have NOT gotten the replacement ones YET from TX !? Oscar

Travis Not Stupid at all... I thought of that and tried it.... The local shops some WOULD NOT do it and others will overprice it as to NOT to do it. The cheapest quote I got was $175.00 ! If I was on a bigger city the price will be a bit more competetive but here you are pretty much stuck with what we have. "Take it or leave it" Small city attitude ! Besides aluminum welding I not everyone's forte and some of the radiator shops I visited they streight out told me they only do spot welding for aluminum nothing end tank related. Oscar

Bought this with the intention of using it on a TBI car, BUT need to upgrade the MPI first. So I need the model with the in and out ports on opposite sides. This one with in and out on same side is to be used on TBI set-ups were you will keep the OEM tubing route. So this needs to go to fund a new. This IC I purchased for $220 + $40 Sh (Total of $260.00) Selling for $180.00 SHIPPED Still NEW, Never runed on. See pics of ACTUAL cooler the ones with NO measurements at the bottom of the post. core length : 25" core height : 6.5" core thickness : 3.5" inlet/outlet size : 3" end to end length: 26.5" Total height: 12.5" Pressure drop of .05kg/cm2 at 1.2kg/cm2 of boost. Will flow over 1000CFM's without breaking a sweat. At MAX efficiency (Aproc 1300CFM's the presure drop is less than 1.5PSI) You do the math at 600-700CFM's. These are more efficient that the side to side flow intercoolers as the air never makes it to the TOP portion of the IC, so you are ONLY using the bottom 6-8" of the core for cooling. With this type IC your flow is TOP to BOTTOM so NO space is wasted thus making it more efficient in LESS space.

You're in luck ! Fronts: http://www.starquestclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38058 Rears: http://www.starquestclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38111

Chad you beat me to the post ! As Chad mentioned Heron, those are the First Gen Intakes, the runners are too long and sweep too low so they bump and scrape on just about EVERYTHING including the inner fender if I am not mistaken. Hope they are STILL in Australia ! Also are you sure that the heads came from the 2nd gen motors and not from the First gen as the Intakes ? Make sure the heads are M6-M8 ANY head with the M1-M5 are the first gen ones and those "Are as useless as molehills on a bull" Hope you don't get stuck with these Heron.... Oscar

hey Shawn Bud hope you have my TWO (2) sets set asides ?:mrgreen: By the way... Do you think those WOODEN base brackets and uprights will hold to heavy cornering ? Thanks Oscar

OK... I am NO Diff expert by any means but .... Why if the Montero and Raider guys use our 28 spline LSD centers on their trucks ( In the rear on the 2.6L and up Front on the V6) but we cant use THEIRS ? WHY NOT ? The guys from the 4x4Wire.com forums have been slapping Starion LSD's into their trucks for some time now with NO modifications. So again can someone explain why is this a "One Way Street" ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTING: Q- Can anyone tell me if the posi unit out of an 83' Starion will fit the front of my 89' V6 5-speed Raider? A- You want an LSD from a 88-89 Starion, its a drop in and the axle splines are an exact match. http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php...rev=#Post836094 -------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTING: Q- ..... 4 or 6 bolt rear axle flanges at the diff? A- You need an 88-89 Starion LSD for the v6 Front 8". - 88-89 Quest LSD into V6 housing, using V6 CVs 28 spline. - 87 Quest LSD into V6 housing, using 4-cyl CVs 25 spline. - Pre-87 Quest LSD into 4-cyl housing custom spacers. -------------------------------------------------------------------- LINK to "88-89 Quest LSD into a Monty & Raider front diff carrier" articles bellow. http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php...part=1&vc=1 Possibly the part number is wrong as that number if the D50 wich are the 4cy with the 7" diffs and the V6's have the 8" diffs up front. What needs to be asked is if these available units are the 7", 8" or the 9" diffs. AGAIN I am no expert just going by whats been done and documented here. Oscar

Question.... I have asked in PMs but not replied to, so I am posting here... Is the Fidanza Flywheel custom for this application or will it fit ANY other car out there ? I am asking as I dont want to use the Fidanza as its too light for my taste and driving style. So if I buy it I will like to know I can sell the fidanza on Evil-Bay to someone that can use this flywheel. But if its a One Off for this project ONLY then I'll pass. Oscar

Kelly Don't know if this is Surcasm or not as I cant tell from the way you typed it ! :mrgreen: But in any case these are made by a company back East Stedebani Industries I think its called that has yearly GP on these and all poly bushings for susp, trany motor and diff mounts. He offers these in a straight or a 17deg bend option. Then you have to massacre your original shifter and make a new one using the new parts supplied and the carcus of the OEM shifter. BTW... Sorry forgot to reply to your PM will do so now... Sorry bud ! =) Oscar

Most likelly you are or will be using a 4.6L Ford TB so a TPS for that app is aprox $25.00 at AutoZone. No sence in buying second had TPS when you can have them new for that much. Oscar

Hello all I am looking for the pair of REAR CALIPERS ANY year to send in as cores. Need NOT be good or pretty. I want OLD, RUSTED, LEAKING, FROZEN up rear calipers. Post or e-mail me with what you have. ( oscar-the-grouch@sbcglobal.net ) Thanks Oscar

Well Kelly does NOT make yellow due to the LOW number of them here I think we have 12 or 15 registered YELLOW Quest Owners and 10 is the minimum order to make a new color. So..... We Yellow Owners MAY want to have these to dress up the cars a bit. Some of you like the RED in balck cars Kelly has them. Some of you like the blue one on your blue cars... Kelly has them too. So .... yellow it is for me and some few others ! Thanks Oscar
