ProZac Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Tis a rude height, but I'm sure you'll fix that. How did you get on with those struts down here? That car has pleeeeenty of history down here in ChCh. The motor you've got there I actually assembled, twice! First time was for a white starion I used to own, but ended up in my old black sapporo. Did many trouble free k's, then I sold the car. New owner free-boosted it, and smashed the ring lands on the pistons. The sapporo then ended up in a mates hands, and I pulled the motor for him, took it apart again, re-honed and reassembled with some 2nd hand pistons. Good news is it all looked nice and clean inside and no problems . Mate drove the sapporo for a while, then bought your starion and the motor ended up in that. (I'm 99% certain thats how it went anyways...) The rocker rover useds to be nicely painted blue, but some sort of weird reaction with an engine degreaser made it go all funny. The car itself belong to another mate of mine down here for many years, he did most of the mods to it, including the high-flowed turbo, and installing the LSD. Was always a nice car to drive, glad to see its not being scrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 very rude..... ive paid the dude for the struts but he hasnt got back to me with a contact number and address. so this leaves my wagon sitting at mums house with no suspension currently. did the diff get rebuilt at any stage do you know? cause i think its due, it cracks alota one wheel action atm but when it does hook two holy shit........ already had one hairy moment in it, so put better tires on. now to see how long my licence lasts driving this car in typical whangarei rain..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProZac Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Unless the LSD has been pinched again at some stage? The open diff ones i've owned before would usually single side, but occasionally hook two. Jack up one rear wheels and see if you can turn it. Mine barks up two pretty much constantly.

ProZac Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Oh, and if I remember correctly, your rear struts have been modified to have threaded tops, so you can replace the inserts. I think they're meant to take SW20 MR2 items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 i was wondering if maybe diff oil needed replacing? i will jack up to check, but it also sounds like a locky when i turn tight in my driveway, it does that skipping on one wheel shit. i know in my mates mazda ute we put a lsd in it and it would hook 2 constantly on dry but if it was wet would pop a few gay one wheelies. so u just had to chuck it in to corners to get it to going. are the mr2 inserts shorter? atm it has r32 dobi springs in rear minus 1 1/2 coils, just uncaptive so put some rubbers in there to make captive for wof guy. but it sat at prety much the same height which was a fail......... have to find some other springs for it as im not to keen on cutting standys, and im to stingy to buy new lowering springs rather fork out for adjusties when bank allows After seeing in the flesh, loving it. giz a turn bro.... seeing as tho you do hook up the tires you have earnt a blat in it.... next meet find a skid spot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The standard springs it had in it when it was knocking around down here were compressed I think, never had a problem getting a warrant? MR2 inserts are shorter in the body, but I think they have around the same extended length as the factory Starion ones. I remember the rears definately had threaded sections welded on top, but I'm not sure what inserts it had in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 yeah i had suspisions the fronts were compressed. dude i got it off was telling me it had new rear shocks put in so will have to have a good look at them. think ill put standy rear springs back in as theres no real height difference for now. still got the guys number though as i want to buy the sideskirts/rear bumper he has for this, will ask him about the rear shocks. i wana try some e30 bmw springs in the front though as i just put some in my wagon struts to get the wagon rolling again and its sitting same if not lower than when the starion suspension was in it. they were superlow king springs from memory? got them off a mate for stripping his crashed e30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 So its perfectly fine that a car with a family in it could have been coming around the corner just as the driver lost control of his "phat skid" and crashed into that family? Cool. I sure feel like a "fuckin puss ass cracka" now Im not saying dont do skids Im saying dont be Fucking Retards, but I see that I will likely have to use smaller words, maybe even pictures to get you to understand that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
