Has anybody used these particular sleeve overs? Says requires welding,but in the reviews people who have had them fitted to starions say they were pretty much bolt on?

Do you have uprated shocks on yuors with sleeve overs? thanks

I'm quite positive they don't require welding, ground control or cosmo.

I do have uprated shocks on my car, but I also shortened the housings so I could have more shock travel on a very low car:

Cool, a 5 stud narrowbody!! I didn't see an intercooler though, is it off?? What cylinder head is on it??

My car is mostly stock (2.6L), 3" exhaust though. I do have an upgraded td05h-14b turbo on it now. Here's a vid with the original td05-12a:

Nice cars Seb, your old man has good taste!
Hey Rob, have you bought anything from HPfreaks & had them shipped? Was it a good experience & are they sound products?
I ask because they've got strut tower bars & swaybar kits too...

HPfreaks is actually about 20 to 30 minutes away from me, pretty much in the same city. I did hang out there for a dyno day a couple years back, nice guys. I bought something small from them that didn't need shipping, since I was there haha. But, I do know that a few other Starion owners on the other side of the country have ordered from them with no problems. They also usually have the lowest price, if not you might even be able to ask them to price match if it's reasonable.

Cheers :) Nope as you can see the intercooler is strangely positioned haha. but i will try and get it facing down at some point to force more air through. It's just the standard cylinder head on a 4g63 engine as far as i'm aware. Why do you ask? Seb

Don't touch the intercooler just yet. Lots of interest in those types, it looks like a homologated one and there's not much information on them. More pics, measurements, information please. Others I'm sure will chime in.

Thats the 84 style intercooler, they absolutely rely on the original metal airdam to direct air up and through the cooler, it works well, but you NEED that original airdam on...

...unless it's sitting in your garage on stilts ;)

I'm back at work until around the 18th so won't be able to get more pics and measurements till around then. I have the metal airdam (you might spy it sitting underneath the car there) but it's quite flimsy, and rusted away slightly in places, can these still be gotten hold of?

Oh and when you say homologated type what do you mean exactly? What year did starions start having the intercooler mounted vertically?
