Hey all, I just realized I've been poking and proding, but havent even said hello. I used to be all about my old starion like LIVED to work on it... I was working my way through college and spending every last dime on the car, <it went on like this for years; one day moved out and my have-to-have-it habbit fell to the way side for bills, going out, and more bills it seems.... My last adventure was my engine build, which was mostly top-end stuff, OS valves, HD springs, ported marnal, I also moved to a s16g, worked great and it was mostly a weekend car until i moved into an apartment complex, small here and theres had it parked and my days off were spent fixing it... eventually i parked it on my gf's parents property and there it sat for years.... Enter today, one random day on CL i found a really great 88 SHP with no engine but was totally complete otherwise asking $1500... my GF (now my fiance) encouraged me to call and ask about it and maybe talk him down... the lowest i could get was $800 i wasn't willing to spend that, but her knowing my love for these cars actually offered to split it with me (This is why she's my fiance ) so for $400 I was back in the game... Step 1 get my car back and put in my built motor/turbo, Step 2 drop it like its hot, step 3 put on ALL THE PARTS over the years long story short after troubleshooting my old motor in the new chassis it would appear there was a fungus growing in the TB which wouldn't allow it to turn over, it cost me a starter and cylinder 2's rod bearing.... we've got a baby on the way and i've got the starquest bug.... this car will be up before brith!! I'm older now and getting all the things i've always wanted when i couldn't afford them, and i have the forum to thank Recent purchases include: '83 hood (Thanks to Burton) D2 Coilovers (Thanks to Joseph @ JMautoracing) Spare SHP x9's for my Hoosier slicks (thanks to GLHS) Spearco Intercooler (Thanks to JohnnyWadd's post to ebay alerts) I got some other killer stuff recently including good leather fronts i've been chasing for years, but these are the big ones that I can Thank this community for.... I've dubbed the build ' project: cherrybomb ' So: Hello! and THANK YOU STARQUESTCLUB COMMUNITY!!!
