Greetings for StarQuestClub!
Ok, lets try this again...
First things first... I'm Seamus. 20, spent the last 2 years restoring an 87 Mitsu Starion... haha. I grew up with an FC3S tII. Thats what I learned to drive with, then moved on to a 90 Foxbody that ran 10 second 1/4s. After a couple of speeding tickets... dad sold that and gave me a Saturn, which I immediately started trying to turn into a race car. Lol. (It did run consistent 15.105 in the 1/4, though). I found my Starion in a friends backyard, fell in love, and spent the last 2 years restoring her. Thats where I found what I like, and what I'm good at: saving cars, or restoring them, if you will. So I decided to trade my beloved Starion to a buddy with a FC3S.
The FC is an s4 base model(or was). The entire drivetrain/suspension/interior has been converted to an s5 turbo II setup. Well... minus the motor... Its an s4 block that has been street ported, had all of the emissions garbage removed, the rotors are from an s5 motor(brand new from the dealer)... infact, the entire motor has been rebuilt as has run great for the last 20k miles, without much abuse. New adjustable shocks with nice lowering springs(can't quite remember the brand). Every bushing under the hood and chassis is replaced with the urethane bushings. All in all, I think I've got a pretty fair start.
I only have one minor issue with the car... the fpr on the primary rail just died. O.o
Lol, not a biggie, I'm ordering one from Racing Beat soon, unless anyone else has a better recomendation?
Feel free to ask me anything you want to know, I'm a pretty mellow guy! Besides... I'll have plenty of questions for the forum.
Cheers,
Seamus
