Yeah. I forgot which user was selling them though.

Welcome to the club and congrats on your purchase! Starquestgarage.com is going to have factory service manuals available, not for the 87, unfortunately but looking between the 88 and 86 manuals you should get a feel for it. Check the electrical section of either the 86 or 88 FSMs for help with the taillights and headlights. I agree w/ ditching the MAF-T and putting in another ECU. I went AEM, but I don't recommend it as you'll find more people to help you with Megasquirt, even a plug 'n' play option

I think it's the steering gear box that requires the ATF, not the pump

Well, depends! You need stretch boots, which was what RockAuto sent. My boot was trash, so I cut it off, cut off both the boots. Figured if one failed, they both would. I don't flow enough air to spread the boot all the way, it seems. So it spread it enough to almost make it all the way over the rounded end of the inner joint. A firm push of the tool got it to slide over the rounded inner joint and stretched the boot a little more.

yea, it stinks, ATF eating away my driveway

I can't help but I had this issue with my 2nd starion. Rebuilt it with rock auto kit and it leaked, rebuilt it with a kit from autozone and it leaked, bought a reman from autozone, leaks after a year. Starting to consider an electric rack conversion.

Nah, you can't glue them. You can use one of those split boots, but they aren't a good fix.

good point, they claim they are for intercooled, but who knows. This thing just arrived - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2P3JF8K?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k0_1_10&amp=&crid=2O1EC7D2QB1MM&amp=&sprefix=cv+boot+ex No idea yet if it works or not, will find out after work.

Jest checked advance auto, looks like half shafts are still available

I had a CV boot fail on a half-shaft i bought 20 years ago. It had about 50 miles on it You can get universal boots from rockauto and replace them, they have them listed as inner and outer separately (different sizes). I'm in the process of doing this myself. I'm using different bands than what came with the boots and using a pneumatic spreader to avoid tearing the whole shaft down. Amazon has these spreaders for like 80$. Mks sells new u-joints for the drive shaft as does rockauto. For a failed half shaft, usually they click, clunk, have a ripped boot and flung grease, and sometimes the q axels snap in half.

I use imgur for images. the file size of modern images is generally too large to attach when uploading to the forum. can't help with the bushing though, apologies.

So got around to testing. 1 gallon tank and the car lifted no problem. I tested the half gallon tank and lifted no problem again. Either sized tank will work, but in the interest of trunk space, I will be using the half gallon tank. I do not have a spare tire, unfortunately, so if i one day decide to have a small 8" or 10" fiber glass sub enclosure made to fill the spare tire well, i could probably have them mold in a spot fit in the half gallon tank under the cardboard panel that covers the spare tire well

Ok so I got the tank, but it was missing fittings, so I haven't been able to test yet. Ordered some fittings from Amazon... I also ordered a half gallon air tank as well, since the one for the air cup kit is 1 gallon. I will test first with the 1 gallon tank, then see if I can get away with a half gallon, as I don't want to take up that much trunk space.

Ah, meta is the new name for the company that owns Instagram/Facebook/occulus/etc

Be cool if he came over here for us non-meta users

The fact that the secondary is dead could be the reason for your issue. The coils in the motor could be shorted, causing the fan to be dead, but also causing high amperage draw.

Could be a couple things causing the links to smoke. Likely you need to clean up your grounds. Alternately, fan motors may need to be refreshed (can bring to a DC motor or alternator repair shop).

Ohh check the EGR solenoid. Those vacuum nipples on it end up cracking often. I removed EGR solely because of that issue on two cars.

Used. Free to good home. just pay shipping and box cost.

That would be hard to get a pic of. I did send video to D2 and Vera. They say they've had similar issues with heavy front end cars and offered to send the tank components gratis. So we will see if that makes it work. However, back of the napkin math pretending the air cup is a hydraulic cylinder, each cup should be able to life like 11,000lbs, using 200psi. Which leads me to believe, the CFM rating of the compressor isn't enough.

Hey all. I've purchased two air cup kits to try out. Both the stanceparts kit and the D2 kit (really a vera kit). Both kits are front end only, no tank. Just wanted to toss this info out there. Both of the kits are 100% identical, except for the branding on the cups. Stanceparts lists a weight limit for their kit, whereas D2/Vera do not. The weight limit for stanceparts is 4400lbs total weight. I would assume for D2/Vera it to be the same. Both kits have same lines, compressor (Vera Air 444c), solenoid, etc. I've installed both kits components to be sure there wasn't a bad part. Turns out, the Station's front end exceeds the weight limit for both kits. If you disable one cup and cap the line, it will lift one corner of the car fine. Tested both corners this way, and no issue. Problem arises when you attempt to lift both corners at the same time, there just either isn't enough pressure or airflow. One cup will leak from the center of the cup. Lifting the car with a jack to remove weight will allow the cups to function, but this isn't desired. I did hook up the air lines to my shop compressor, and it does lift. But the shop compressor is a 60 gal tank. It flows more CFM than the Vera Air compressor can flow, but cannot reach the same pressure (shop is 125 psi and the Vera Air is rated at 200 psi). Vera is shipping me a kit to try with their tank. I'll update then, but I'm shipping back the Stanceparts kit, as it's doesn't work as advertised. I'll update when the kit comes and is installed, in case anyone was thinking about one of these kits. The tank isn't an ideal solution, and maybe I'll have to get more cf front end bits from @Boosted Diamondsto cut the weight, though I'm not sure it would even shave enough weight having cf fenders and hood.

@Preludedudethank you for your recommendation, i have received extremely good pricing and am working out shipping with them @TexasQuestalso thank you for including the shop. The shipping will be less for me to send to the shop in SC. @techboyif i wasn't starting a new job Monday and finishing out my current one this week your option would be the best, but can't make the drive

Rather than call everyone on earth or worse have to drive around for hours to get pricing, i would rather use shops people have had experience with and are happy. Also to know where they were quoted reasonable prices.

Please let me know the shops doing the work for these prices! I have no problem shipping them
