lowlancer Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Don't tell me ya sold the EX!? Dunno which is more 80s awesome, Starion or EX...I prefer Starions Motor is looking very hot, although if I had the normal 8 Valve head I'd be going MPI. Like you said, TB=teh suxor What's that turbo? Doesn't look like a TD... Keep us updated. Don't ya love mitsys? No one seems to want them, so cheap=for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Yes, i was offered way to much money for the EX, and couldnt turn it down. Theres just something about starions, i _meant_ to own one i think, its a genetic imperative. I have an MPI manifold sitting there, needs to be cut and shut however... I rekon if im gonna do that, i may aswell just put a twin-cam engine in it. Not a hell of alot more work... Someone offer me a cheap (free) vr4 motor, go on, i dares ya. Turbo is a TC05 12a, off a factory intercooled starion. Thats why the compressor outlet points that way by default. I have a TD05 12a off a dash motor like yours there aswell, i'll pinch the center out of it as its water cooled and run that untill i get my ass into gear and put on the big t3/4.

lowlancer Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 My TD05 is off an eterna, fwd dump pipe, same shit though What whels are going on? Widebody on narrow=perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 That is true, but would also require a 5-stud conversion, and shipping the parts and wheels from the US would be super expensive... If im gonna do it i'd swap to the bigger LSD and 6-bolt axels/cv's while im at it. Ive got some 15" black mesh wheels with a little bit of dish... they need to be a tad wider, but they'll do for now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sexychevette Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Cool bananas! starions are cool 1980's was the coolest decade for cars, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Cool bananas! starions are cool 1980's was the coolest decade for cars, i think. Yes, but the 70's bought us 240z's... and lets face it, there is no sexier car on the face of the planet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiat 124 sport, DB5s, /some others are the hottest for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Damn it I love the shape of those sapporo galant things! They are pretty rare, I don't see any around here. Thats going to be an awesome car, cleaned up and lowered with the gloss black paint. Theres a ke70 wagon that drives around here on turbos with small tires stretched on and they look fuckn cool, seriously. I never thought I'd say that about turbos but you should give it a go.

fuel Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Ahh so you are the one who bought it I was keeping an eye on that auction. I could have bought one of them a couple years ago but the body was pretty rough and had a cracked windscreen and I figured it would be super hard to get parts for. What are you going to do with the starion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Cool! I was keen to hit that too... being in chch made it not worth it for me damn cool shape on these beasties mang! i prefer them over the stazza's too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Motors ready to pop out... only thing that stopped me doing it this evening was removing the interior trim and shifter itself.... Haven't done it on one of these before and it was a little involved, and it was raining, and I'm a fucking pussy... But i am off work for another 7 days, so i've got nothing but time, baby.

ProZac Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Fuck yes, I've got a nice intercooler to go in the front, its got a fucking huge oil cooler in there already, so thats sweet. My flatmate bought those Mitsy turbo bits on trademe, there were a couple of TC06's in there, so I'll do an 05/06 hybrid and she'll be cranking . There are some 12" thermofans sitting at work for me (im a repco slut)... Thats about as far as you can go on mods with the factory computer before shit starts getting fucked up. Should make for a sweet machine though... Burnout action coming this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draizuh Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I prefer the Starion shape over the sapporo. Hatch pwns notch everytime 80's as tho. we should have an 80's off. Filthy 80's coupe action. your tail lights are as fuckin rancid as mine. lub it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 love the 80s style "stick a square piece of lead light glass" as tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
