  1. IROC is dead. Sold off it's tools, cars and memorabilia in 2008. Pontiac is out of production. Oldsmobile and Plymouth have not been around for years. Toyota Camry is in nascar. Camry's were RWD from 80-82. w/e, not the point. Give it time. I think long enough and all you will see is Hyundai's and Kia's in NASCAR. Maybe a smart car mixed in there too. (not cool). I realize that in the end it's all about the consumer and the majority. And the majority is just dying to have a Honda accord in their garage. I don't know, maybe this is pointless to post on a import car enthusiast site, but I bought my car b/c it was totally unique, rare, and it was what i could afford at the time. Oh yea, and it was COOL. I long for the days of my father, of big blocks, muscle cars, power, and automotive art. I know that american car companies have made their mistakes, i know. But no. Buy a hybrid. Think green, save mother earth. Buy a Honda civic while you're at it. Lol, I'm sick of it. In the waning days of the oil age, I feel proud to have owned 3 full body frame, V-8, RWD, american cars. Oh yea, and a Starion as well! And when my grandkids are coughing, and there is no eastern or western seaboard, and I'm dying of emphysema, and polar bears have been extinct for 3 or 4 decades, I will be able to describe to them some of the sweetest sounds in the world, the sound of a V-8, and the noise that a turbo makes when it spools...
  2. Brakes, and suspension. Have tons of parts but I'm waiting for it to get above 45 degrees b 4 i work on it. If i get to it body and wheels/tires. Parts I have to be installed: 1G MAS Front/Rear sway bars Front/Rear rotors Rear Brake Calipers Eibach pro kit springs Mookeeh shocks/struts F/R Brake pads F/R sway bar end links rear strut tower bar egr block off plate new mitsu front strut isolators kyb rear strut mounts boots oem rubber shock/strut covers all four used power mirror switch Transmission. - Have a bearing and synchro set that will be sent to my builder for the tranny to be rebuilt asap: Yea, dad's engine w/weisco's + a brand new 18g turbo put some work in on my gearbox lmao! I also want to buy new e-brake cables. Yea they need to be replaced but that is a different story...
  3. Cavs stomp the New York Knicks 124-93. Shaq had surgery on his thumb and most likely will not be back until the playoffs. I really hope the Cavs go to the Championship and take it. Last team in Cleveland that took home a championship was the Cleveland Browns. And that was before there was a Super Bowl.
  4. I have here a brand new wells TPS sensor that you can use on your starion or conquest. All you have to do is splice your OEM pigtail on this one. I run the EXACT same sensor on my 87. I paid $139 for it (have the receipt). This is a BRAND NEW part unmodified, uninstall-ed. http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9440/picture0001j.jpg $70 shipped.
  5. Take care of yourself sir, nothing to be ashamed of at all. Honestly i think you have a lot of guts to come on here and post, i respect that. I think Intercooled is on to something, living in N.E. Ohio cannot be a help. The six months of winter that we suffer here is definitely not a help. I have people in my family who have suffered from depression, but got help and is just kickin' a** at life now! I worry for my girlfriend's brother. He's 25, and self medicates with alcohol. Gotten himself into troubles that may take decades to recover from, IF he tried to do anything about it. Good luck man.
  6. "Extracurricular" activities with the girlfriend. A lot.
  7. these guys still think they are under union occupation, and that the confederates never surrendered their government or constitution. " However, we will stand in military and economic strength, but will wish to negotiate a Peace Treaty overdue by 145 years with the Federal Union." Yea and when they take their confederate nation back... "Such folks who are not C.S.A. Registered Citizens would be classified as resident aliens and would continue to live where they are so long as they have not participated in seditious actions against the government of the Confederate States of America."
  8. I'm all for supporting beliefs and causes, but really? http://www.confederatestatesofamerica.org/ Oh and for $50 you may apply for citizenship. Funds go to resurrecting the national C.S.A. government. Good lord.
  9. I vote GTO. haven't driven one but I have been behind the wheel of an s2000 several times. Didn't really wow me. Just my opinion.
  10. IMHO i would go for the weisco pistons. What it allows for is upgrades down the road. you'll have your bottom end ready for whatever you want to throw at it later, and it's a little peace of mind insurance to boot.
  11. P-Dog has the right idea. Panther chassis, any one is fine. Oh yea and it will last forever.

    Bought a 1g MAS from Brian. Fast shipper, easy to deal with. Would buy from him again.
  13. You should check out dad at engine machine in niles. Might be able to hook you up. Where in cleveland are you?
  14. So it's that time of year again, and I'm about to start working on the Starion again. This year my focus is on the suspension and brakes. So far I have my eibachs that came yesterday, new rear calipers, new strut mounts front and rear, mookeeh's front shock inserts and rear struts, transmission mount, rear strut tower bar, sway bar end links, and an egr block off plate. Still in the mail, mookeeh's front and rear sway bars, front and rear slotted and cross drilled rotors. Oh and I did buy something cool, Harbor freight has 2 pack vehicle dollies that hold up to 1000 lbs each for 49.99, they are on sale right now. 100 bux and now i can swivel my car, push it outa the way, whatever. I will try to get some more pics up soon, i don't have a digital camera, and apparently 35mm is not cool anymore. Oh yea and my phone sux too. Puttin all the $ into the car...
  15. end link kits are 6.99 for the front and 10.99 for the rear at autozone, and as far as my local one is concerned, they have them in stock.
  16. Sorry guys, pitboss just convinced me to get in on this. Only one left at this price...
  17. damn. i wish $ grew on trees i would have this and a detomaso, and a lotus, and and and and....

  19. has this mas been sold to anyone yet?
  20. If the 1g mas is 7 pin turbo i want it. paypal ready
  21. right now I'm planning on doing suspension work. I wanted to go MPI with my refund this year, but more HP would not be any good on an old tired suspension
  22. The night before tax refund Twas the night before tax refund, when all through the shop Not a turbo was spooling, no exhaust made a pop. The stock motor was hung on the shop crane with care, In hopes that Uncle Sam with my refund, soon would be there. The starquests were nestled all snug in their beds, With visions of jet valves being removed from their heads. And the last time I ran her she sounded like crap, Dear god please don’t let that be piston slap. When from my front suspension there arose such a clatter, I sprang with the credit card to try to fix the matter. Away to the parts store I flew like a flash, Tore open the tranny and blew some more cash. I can never get traction on new-fallen snow Gave away my last paycheck and the bank account’s low. When, what to my TSI loving eyes should appear, But a FedEx driver who tells me, “sign here”. With the drive to build more boost and be super quick, I knew that for sure, I love driving stick. More rapid than eagle talons course they later came, My BOV whistled, and I hit fuel cut, how lame! As dry shots blow bottom ends, I want hurricane MPI, When I feel its an obstacle, at least it’s not a Saturn sky. The first time I saw a Conquest man that thing flew, With a mod list full of Toys, and a nitrous bottle too. And then, came a sprinkling, from my leaking moon roof My front air dam is dragging and I look like a goof. with a crack in my cylinder head, and I was turning around, Down came the clutch pedal and it wouldn’t rebound. There’s nothing I like better than putting down my right foot, Man I hate it when my exhaust puts out ashes and soot. A bundle of wires are needed to go piggyback, My ignition would be better if I go coil pack. My eyes-how they twinkled! A huge refund how merry! Once I spend some more cash it will be freakin’ cherry! The good fuel pressure of a newly installed Walbro, will make you go sideways real quick in the snow. The missing exhaust pipe makes me grind my teeth, And the smoke it puts out looks like a Cadillac wreath. Using my refund for anything else makes me sick to my belly, my tires shook when I cornered, and my struts feel like jelly! I was thinking its sad having no parts on the shelf, The IRS gave it back I should spend it on myself! Over as many systems I can, this money I’ll spread, Soon I’ll have a sweet ride after spending this bread. I spoke not of cost, but went straight to work, And filled every part order, then turned a wrench with a jerk. And laying my tax cash out, the parts come in flows! And continuing to mod, up the Starion rose! The drivers of Starions and Conquests make all the girls whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard them exclaim, ‘ere they drove out of sight, "Happy motoring to all, and to all a good-night!"
