HOW DID YOU GET YOUR STARION?

[ProZac]

oh, and il get pics of its cavemate, a nz new jd, 5 stud rims, black leather interior... and badly needing a new home, but the owner wont sell it. :x

IN NELSON? Because you know who's moving to nelson and needs to buy a starion? :).

I just always loved the starions, bought my first one when i was 18, still hooked.

hehe whats with everyone having old celicas on here :) know 2 starion owners who had ta22's before getting a staz, funny occurence that.

better make that 3!! :D
TA22's are cool( I know, they look good, but go slow!)

was my first car....(10 years ago)
had a few others...(in between)
was then looking for a turbo manual RWD....(3 years ago)
every 180SX and silvia i looked at was auto.....(DON'T SAY IT!!!!)
This went on for about 4 months...
I had given up......
Alright... "this is the last "Trading Post" I buy" i said to the missus...
Then, there she was...
A starion with a description that read like a magazine write-up..(almost)!
Plenty of goodies, sounded good for the money and about $5,000 cheaper than the nissans ...
Asked him to take me for a ride...
The thing flew! Fastest car i have ever been in........
Five minutes later... I am totally hooked!
SOLD!
Been scaring bogans in commodores ever since!

(BTW.. havent lost a race to a 180 or silvia yet )

yep in nelson, but im keeping the location secret.... :D
i want it myself, it needs a bit of work, the owner bought it as a writeoff, knows nothing about starions, has a ja front (bumper, guards), and panel damage on the right rear 1/4.

the worst thing tho is the id tags... he did a tag swap to get it on the road, so its regoed as a'83.

so much potential..... :?

goin back about 2 1/2 years i was driving around like a idoit in my mazda r100 wagon like you do when a golden coupe started tailgating me and started flashing his lights and blinking me to pull over so i did he want to swap cars as he loved r100 s id never heard or seen a starion before but i said i speak to my old man and we went round the next day and took it for a strap and i was hooked ended up paying $1000 for it as is condition.and kept my r100

my v8 was to thirsty to drive everyday... had to get a four banger... insisted that if i were to get one... it would have to be turbz.. dad found this yellow starion at a car yard.. bout it.. then problems didnt stop comin.. hahaha its a love hate relationship

[cheaterparts]

well I have been doing hillclimb and sprints since 1999 with a GE sigma with a bit of sucess it N/A 2.6 and spins 7000 in all gears
and at Phillip Island thats running to 230 Kph and the end of the straight

so how could knock back a straight rust free starion for nix that right just tow it away
one catch no engine
anyway it striped out ready to cage up and will get a short stroked turbo 4G54
as it will fit up just nice and is an engine I have both spares and know more about

I still done know if it will work out quicker hillclimbing but cant wait to cut laps

I just woke up one morning and they were breeding in my back yard...and front yard..and driveway.

I did my time at Mitsubishi....they were the car to have at the time, i knew i wanted one but at $27,000 for a JA it was outa my reach. SO....years later i bought one. YAY!! Then i crashed it in the rain...boo. Then someone wanted some parts and i wanted another one... and it has all come to this.
God help me!!!!!

I spent 2 years restoring my first car, a 56 Plymouth, then once it was done realised i just wanted something fast. So sold the Plymouth and went through the trader to see if anything tickled my fanny... Saw the staz, thought $2500 for a regoed roadworthy turbo rear wheel drive how could i go wrong, lol.
It broke down at a set of lights on the way home.....
Blew the turbo a week after I bought it, and the car is scary to drive because of the suspension bushes that have gone to dust. But it's been 2 weeks or so since I bought it and I still love it! :D
