New car

[joem]

I just got a 89 quest. Ive wanted one forever and found one in the right price range.
Needs paint and few other things but I think a good deal overall.

Congrats! I will buy it, when you are ready to sell it in a few months! LMK

He has a few he is selling. 88 yellow clean in and out. Needs a motor 1500.00 with the good motor. If you want pm me and Ill give you his number. He has like 4 others for sale clean rust free cars.

Dang you weren't kidding when you said it needed "a few other things".. that interior is worse than my last 1g!

[Tauni]

But I will say this: I am a bit jealous. I wouldn't mind having a StarQuest, but I think mine would have to be in nice condition for me to buy it.

[joem]

It was being stripped. Im putting the front back in. He sent along 6 boxes of parts along.
So it was will worth it. the car runs and drives perfect.

[Tauni]

Wow! 6 Boxes! Well at least you got your money's worth. Any idea what color you are going to paint it?

Congrats man that sounds like a pretty cool find!

[joem]

Same blue minus the pink pin striping.

Mine's still faster, bitch.

J/K that thing is choice. Did you get the eibach springs that weren't in the auction? Cause if you did, I'll buy them from you. Install some 15w40 rotella T or some heavy synthetic, a turbo timer and a bypass (not blow off) valve. Maybe some hard pipes, a nice boost controller, and get a TimC cam - the big daddy solid roller piece.

When you paint it, (I assume it's stock blue) add some metal or pearl in the paint and make it look nice. if you need any suggestions on where to buy stuff, such as a carbon fiber version of your hood, or aluminum rods etcetella, you know damn right, talk to me or blue89quest(now known as black97civic) or Shotgun! .

[FattyBoomBatty]

oh yeah. Don't drift it. get a 240 for drifting. There's too much at stake for wasting starquests.

[joem]

Cool. I didnt buy the springs he wanted 300.00 for them i thought it was a little high they are new.
Joe

[FattyBoomBatty]

Yeah, that is one of those guys who thinks he's got gold in his bowel movements. Seems like a decent deal for a running car.

Does it have any problems with drivability? Any strange handling issues or anything? And bring it to the dyno day on the 30th, I want to see this thing.

[joem]

Ill be there. Seems to drive good. Streering is tight.
Joe

SQ are the coolest thing known to man. I just thought I would say it. Congrats on your buy!

[Goat Blower]

Definitely ugly, but the price is right.

[niterydr]

Wow a mitsu honda.
J/K...nice find!

[92EvilTalon]

Nice find. Looks like alot of work to be done.

What is a bypass vavle? Picked up the dash to and installing it.

A recirculation valve is another name for it. re-route the blow off valve between the MAS and the turbo. Not too loud and saves the turbo. A 1G crushed bov will work.

[joem]

Well im thinking about selling my quest and starting a new quest. 2.4 wideblock So should i sell this one and start with a new one with a bad motor or rip apart a running one?
