Still working on body work here too. It till be done this spring! The cold temps are killing any paint progress lately. Debating starting on the Valencia LS swap while I wait for warmer days. I just have enough catastrophe going on with one project
TechBoy, i didn't know you ended up with Joe's VR4!? I knew he sold it, but never asked who it went to. I can also confirm that was an engine from John.
Other than that, the house projects always keep me busier than I'd like!

Thanks for all you do Randy!
Fortunately for me, i don't currently need any parts

Steve seems to be the guy for this type of thing.

Red 87…..blah
My thoughts exactly. The most common SQ, so the price reflects that. Still brought good money IMO

I have debated leaving the foam out. They are just there for impact as far as I know. Not sure how much, if at all, it might affect the structure over time. I recently had my new to me front and rear bumper supports blasted, zinc coated and then powder coated to try and fight any future rot. My original supports were in real bad shape.

Looks like it was made to be that way! I think I spot a rub mark on the oil pan where it hit before.
Pretty close to getting things button up based on the pics. Did you use the ford rack also?
-
Glad to hear you can make it work. Could you have made a spacer to bring the sway bar mounts down a bit and clear? Even the stocker can't be THAT easy to bend 😁
-
Any update?
-
Good deal. Steve is definitely turning into the go to guy for used parts.

At least you have identified the problem 😁

I assumed since I had tons of clearance with the stock sway bar a aftermarket sway bar would fit. I was wrong and gave away my stock sway bar. If you are close and have a spare let me know.
I run aftermarket bars in the front and rear without issues. What is the problem with yours?

I really thought I'd log in tonight and see a new screen. Maybe tomorrow

Go big baby! Make my 87 Valencia worth all the money!

I'm always interested in possible other alternatives. Maybe Randy knows more about this?

So I came here, as I decided to go with made engine and transmission mounts, instead of using stuff by my buddy Giffin.
I then ran across these:
https://ndd-motorsports.mybigcommerce.com/products/conquest-starion-front-subframe.htmlTalk to Mikie over at MKS motorsports. I think those mounts are a great idea, but I hear there may be some issues in actually acquiring them.
WELCOME ABOARD!!

Do you have the cam card? Not interested in buying it, i'm just curious of the specs.

Welcome!
I don't think running stand alone on the TBI is a waste of time. i ran that way for years before going MPI. It makes the learning curve a little easier.

I'm a megasquirt guy all the way. Do it 😁

Maybe it fried the ignitor box? That wouldn't make sense for everything to cook though. Since you grounded it to the body the return path wiring on the negative side could have been damaged too. You will measure 12V, but you may not be referencing the same ground potential as the battery. Can you hear the main relay pull in when you turn on the ignition?
Electrical schematics are available at starquestgarage.com I would focus on ground points if you are already seeing 12Vin places.

Awesome I think I’m gonna try this out
Please report back if you install this level sensor. I also think it is a great idea!

I have found it much easier to go without any idle control on the G54, it has lots of torque at 900 rpm and can handle the AC and power steering without issue, unlike a Miata for example. If you set hot idle for 900-950 rpm then the only issue is cold idle, right around 600, but you can fix that with your foot.
I agree. Years back I used a PWM valve for idle control. It did work well once it was all figured out. Then one day it stuck open and scared the snot out of me. Removed and never looked back. My foot is the cold start "fast idle controller" now
-
Sounds like you found the problem. Glad it was something simple!
-
I think this is the kit I have (or very similar). Not having to use a hammer is always a better way, in my opinion.
FYI your problem doesn't sound like a bearing to me. Something in the brakes making noise? I have had stuff get in the caliper before and cause all kinds of W T F moments.

They may be built to order. I'd send a message asking about availability.
Black 87 has to go, details below

Once you get past the noob threshold you can post pics. Then just host them somewhere.
Good Luck with the sale, $3k sounds like a great price. Pics are needed though
