BaT - 39k-Mile 1985 Mitsubishi Starion LE 5-Speed
TexasQuest replied to Alpina_Blue's topic in Cars for sale
Beautiful two-tone. -
Welcome. Interesting swap plan, most go with a turbo 6 or v8. You lucked out it being an auto trans car. The transmission tunnel is a little wider on the auto cars so it makes swaps a little easier. Any questions just ask away.

Very high-quality carbon fiber parts. I look forward on purchasing more in the future.

Could be a blockage or misalignment in the air ducts possibly.

How can we bring life back into starquestclub?
TexasQuest replied to Mech's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
Same here. But it's not just this forum that is suffering because of Facebook. Many other automotive forums are too as well. -
Interesting. Take lots of pics on this rack swap.

Repairing or Replacing Map Pocket Elastic Bands
TexasQuest replied to nc_beagle's topic in Newbie Question and Answers
I just pulled mine a little tighter and re-stapled it behind the door panel. -
Interesting you say this. I've talked to people at car meets that remember when these cars were new and said the same things about mechanical issues early on. One I distinctly remember was the voltmeter wiggling when the turn signals flashed when the cars were brand new.

Is the factory fuel filter worth keeping?
TexasQuest replied to Mike7447's topic in Virtual Mechanic
Personal preference, I guess. The factory design is definitely not pleasing to the eye. -
Welcome. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Why would I get rid of the balance shaft..
TexasQuest replied to Mike7447's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
Better oil pressure & less moving parts to fail. -
Front strut KYB cartridge loose after tightening?
TexasQuest replied to Mech's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
I believe the SHP strut housings are a little taller than the non-SHP housings since they weren't designed to be replaced with a cartridge. -
Well at least you got it fixed along with some new parts. 😏

Welcome. A good rule of thumb is get the car running good before increasing performance. Maintenance before modifications.

Car died while driving--wouldn't restart
TexasQuest replied to nc_beagle's topic in Virtual Mechanic
Usually when a vehicle dies only when turning in one direction it is a grounding issue. I would start with the ignition switch and work your way down. -
Welcome. Great to see that car is still around.

Check you injector pigtails
-
The only way to know for sure if the car is running too rich is installing a wideband 02 sensor.

hard clunk when turning steering to the right
TexasQuest replied to Mech's topic in Virtual Mechanic
Some refer to them as Gland Nuts. -
Welcome to the club!

I have a set of metric crowfoot flare wrenches. I'm replacing it with a braided steel flex line so I'm not too worried about the re-install, mainly getting to the fitting on top of the steering box. I'll probably just cut the old line out in sections to remove it easier. Wish me luck guys!

I'm looking at tackling my leaky power steering pressure line soon. Do I have to remove the master cylinder to gain better access to the fitting where it goes into the steering gearbox? It's a tight fit in there and I definitely do not want to round the fitting out.
