Patrick Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 So, I finally drove my Starion today. It's a lot of fun. Little stuff still needs done (oil change, plugs, tstat eventually) and I'll be installing stuff I've had sitting around for awhile for it tomorrow. Was on the way home, saw that Graceland had some good lighting and had the better of the two shitty cameras with me, took a few pictures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/clbsinvaders/Starion/starionfirstnight-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/clbsinvaders/Starion/starionfirstnight-5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/clbsinvaders/Starion/Starionfirstnight-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/clbsinvaders/Starion/starionfirstnight-4.jpg I'm so glad I have boost yet again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Have always loved those cars. Congrats. Where'd it come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks for the comments. Story goes as such: Sold my Omni GLH turbo, looking for new car. This catches my eye on Craigslist, took a look, talked her down from her asking price. It wouldn't start because the distributor weights were cracked. Replace dizzy, start. Exhaust manifold gasket was made out of sheet metal/chimney flashing, replaced. Master cylinder done, replaced, a little work done by a friend at a local shop he works at, and voila, here it is. It's a Florida car, originally from Orlando. The body's in great shape, but I want to get it on a lift to take a closer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOED Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Looks nice. I noticed you registered to run it instead of the rx7 this weekend. I'd love to go for a ride if possible, I've always wanted one of those. Oh, we've never met, but I'll track you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be getting more on top of the parking garage at CSCC after class (perfect time, almost sunset then) My jeep is up there right now "Forest Green" Backed in you can tell its mine cause I always park my car away from the skyline so I can see it in the skyline when I come out of class;) It should be close to the end on the west side, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanton- I usually park up there whenever I have a 5:30 class, so Tuesday and Thursday. And Monday and Wednesday. I'm sure you've seen the RX-7 sitting up there.

Mr. Jones Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Always liked the look of those too. Used to be a guy at work that had one just like that for years. Reminds me of one of my othe favorite cars which I will never be able to get ahold of: http://auto.sport.free.fr/photo/ALPINE-a610--1375.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
