This was how the whole project started. It was a factory 12 valve, 5 stud car that I bought. It had dead rego and rust everywhere. So I set about re-shelling it and things just snow balled....

It should be said that more than one starion will live on because of this car :) May it rest in peace.... All be it, in cube form :(

I have used the JM inlet manifold on the cordia..........can be easily adapted to suit the VR4 in rear wheel drive configuration.

Also includes an EL Falcon throttle body.

Yeah I always like your intake... But not sure I want to have the hassles atm.

I looked into the JM ones but for the price, weren't worth it.

Hey man.
Is that the EBay "coil on plug" set up? Ive been thinking about using those. Are they any good?
Anyone used these?
Some feed back on them would be great.

Heres a updated pic of the starion. Been busy buying braided hose and nice fittings... mmm :D

Surge tanks should be ready this week too :D

I can honestly say that the COP is not from Ebay Australia.

I did purchase them on America's Ebay for a song.
I have found out the part number for the coils if they ever screw up........................they are an AC Delco part #C533. :D

The systems works fine........ends up the same OHMS as the original factory coils when wired in parallel or group fire. (1-4, 2-3)
