No, I haven't tried bleeding the brakes yet. I'll do that this weekend. I am hoping that's all it is, but it just randomly started doing it one day. I am gonna give it a shot and see. Is it hard to swap out the master on these cars?
Flush all the old fluid and bleed the system with some new stuff. Water in brake fluid will cause it to boil. No brakes! There's a hose from the booster to the manifold that gets pretty crusty too. A leak there and there will be problems.

that van was awsome! lol

That van really was awesome. Cool owner too. Good times.

Thats crazy money, you could have a forged motor with os valves, oringed, and p&p for less then that!
Where in the bay area do you get that kind of machine work done right for a good price? It is amazing what they're casting these days...

Goats rule.

Maybe we should have a daylight meet at the boneyard. Moss Landing Pick-n-Pull?

It was great meeting everyone and seeing so many cars! The truck is awesome. There are a heap of pictures over at Clunkbucket now too. Thanks again all!
-
I'll be there. Who's got the black Starquest that's parked by Redwood City Land Rover sometimes?
-
WOW now that was bizarre to see........but very cool stuff too..Thank you Matt for posting it.....
Also known as Desmodromics.

The other Starion in Pebble Beach was mine. I find the gorilla brand tape is good at holding together the '87 three piece air dam. I think mine is currently in seven pieces or more. The Griffith radiator is 1000% awesome. And now, a word from the shameless promotion department at Clunkbucket.

Hey. How about that? That is my car but that's not me running the check. That guy has an award winning red Starquest that he's owned since high school.

Man, did yall see those AWESOME donuts?
Awesome pics too! Great meeting everyone yesterday. The donuts came from Chuck's Donuts in Redwood City in the back of the Starlet.

The Starlet will definitely be there, dents and all! Here's a last minute announcement on Clunkbucket.
Clunkbucket: Everything but the same old cars

Can I expect coverage on Clunkbucket?
Why not? Now if I could only get one of my Clunkbuckets ready for the show.

Sounds awesome! I'll be there in something.

Save your money and get the NGK (or similar quality) plugs that cost 1.99 each. Your butt dyno will measure a 20
horsepowerdollar increase! -
I just used that same hard pipe kit on my Raider. Gotta love Ebay.
I know this may be an obvious question but is it a Raider hard pipe kit?

Ditto on the short hose between the water pump and coolant return. Killer of Starions!

Great clutches. Exedy is OEM for the Starion, and a heap of other cars. That being said, I would stay away from the Stage 2 cerametallic for street use. I had one in the car for a while and it was no fun in traffic. The hotter it got the grabbier it got. Try a stage one, or stock replacement. And yeah - good idea to replace 20 plus year old hydraulics!

Changed to fwd in 84 here. Went to 99 before changing to echo/platz/Yaris/vitz.
I have a 1982 Starlet. I used to live down in SoCal but I live in the bay area now. The KP60 and KP61 are rear wheel drive. The cars weigh almost nothing, but the stock engine doesn't make a whole lot of juice. Fun as hell to drive around though. Put some decent shoes on, install a set of camber plates and a strut tower bar, and they handle like go-karts. CUSCO still makes the goods! They used to race the little buggers back in the day in Japan. TRD made a bunch of go-fast stuff for the Starlet. All discontinued. Check out some TRD-equipped Starlets in action. The sound on this video is epic.

I picked up one of those cordless deals from Harbor Freight Tools too. Works great at the junkyard. Should work for what you need it for. The same place has a 21-gallon compressor and a starter set of air tools. Mine has held up since 2003. Don't use it much but it wasn't all that pricey either.

wow keeps getting better and better all the time..........

Hey all. I have a set of four-lug flatsider wheels in the Los Angeles area. Sorry. No shipping. Cash only local pickup. The price is what I paid for them. No extra charge for hauling them out of the junkyard and getting rid of the old tires. 120 obo.
