hey , just signed up, another guy from the U.S

Post by 88tsieip »

hey everyone, i just started browsing these boards, i must say im learning alot more about these cars than i did. i usually just browse the american forums. mainly starquestclub.com. im on my 4th starion so far! and hopefully i can contribute to the forums. maybe if u guys need some US spec parts i might be able to source some.

i AM looking for some later model widebody taillights. with the amber in them.

by the way i notice u guys mention "JA" or "JD" style starions, what is the difference? we dont use those terms in the states.

We're a bit short on LSDs here, black interior, front bars with foggies in them, elec mirrors etc. But we have PLENTY of vented (aka 83) hoods!

oooooo, i never thought of that. those 16x9 wheels must be super rare over there. right now theres a guy over here workin on full coilovers, they have a fully threaded shock body. he already has the prototype made and it looks good.

what else is rare over there? how much would my 88 widie be worth down under? its white with black leather. i had it painted white. and i removed the rear spoiler. looks sick.
