Vehicle - 1987 Pony and 1987 Stellar
What`s going on peeps!
I came here initially to find help looking for a car in Korea, as I am here till at least Mar 2013, but I thought that not everybody knows me, so I will post up what I`ve been up to.
Aside from racing this at Mosport:
and blowing up its engine, (that was Sept. 2010 - because of Uni and several girlfriends, as well as being in a cast for 6 months, I was unable to find time to replace engine) I was going to replace it with a custom 2.3L 4G63 (I have all the parts, started to do some work to the heads - Ported, 3 angle valve, 0.030 shave, ported intake runners) using a 2.0 4G63 block and a 2.4L 4G64 crank, as well as a 4G67 DOHC head (1.8L Sonata) all fed by two Weber DCOE 45`s (the manifold was almost made ready)
As currently configured, the engine has:
-Rochester 2Jet carburator (from 305 V8) mounted to a custom IM that I ported out
-Super aggressive race cam (don`t know specs it was a custom unit but it does have .5 inch lift with ridiculous overlap)
-Ported + Polished head (0.030 shave) and 3 angle valve job
-Lower heat range NGK`s
-8.8MM Taylor wires
-Custom oil catch can
-Lightened flywheel (12lb vs 18lb stock)
-200mm Accent stage 2 clutch
-MSD 6T with selectable 5.5K and 6.6K RPM (self made, connects through interior `Sport`and `Econ` switch, which also controls ign. timing) with tach adapter
-Recurved ignition with Stellar2 electronic ignition
-Electric fuel pump with regulator (manual one in place to block hole in head - not functional)
-High flow B12 Nissan Sentra crossflow rad
-Electric rad fan conversion with MX6 fan (push)
-Self made exhaust manifold plate welded to Hooker headders for a Plymouth Arrow - Wrapped
-2-5/8 collector going into a resonator and a Flowmaster exhaust (rest of exhaust is 2.25 inches) which is side exit - Very minimal bending.
Exterior `body kit`: (the entire car has since been painted gloss black, temporarily)
-1987 Escort GT front bumper, moulded to fenders
-1992 FSO Polonez headlamps sitting on 6cm extended light support with 6K HID
-1992 FSO Polonez grille (temporary, and also not finished yet - notice gap in hood to top of grille clearance)
-1989 Cavalier Z24 side skirts, shortened, flipped (R side on L, vice versa) and moulded to body
-1981 VW GTi fender flares (rear only - the Stellar2 axle will stick out 1.5 inches on each side)
-1986 Escort EXP rear bumper, which was shortened 1 inch (length and width)
-1990 Peugeot 405 taillamps
-1990 Dodge Shadow power heated mirrors (blown switch, unfortunately
)
-2002 Cougar 16`s (195/40 front, 215/50 rear)
-Dealer option rear spoiler (moulded)
-Aftermarket sunroof (pop up and removable)
The interior is mostly stock except for 1989 Prelude seats (5 way adjustable) and 5 way seatbelts, a tach, fuel PSI gauge, power locks (remote+central locking) and rear power windows (Front stays manual)as well as factory 2 spoke MOMO leather wheel. Oh and RD Tiburon pedals.
It is certainly not finished!

This is the same car, believe it or not:
This is the donor car, my trusty 1984GLS, which has been with me since 2001... It was time old friend...
Same car (different doors though, I found some rust free ones later)
The day I bought her from the junkyard:
Alas, I went to Korea before I could even visit my stored Pony...
The other car I have is this:
1987 Stellar CXL fully loaded except aircon and sunroof - It`s a 4G63, automatic unfortunately. I put over 80,000 KM`s on it and I got it for free in late 2006 - Since that time I have put in $3,000 including the $700 price of another parts Stellar which was manual - Most parts (incl. 5 point multilink rear axle) will go into the Pony, but I kept most body panels in case I ever crash this one.
I suppose I could post the mods:
-2.4L 12 valve head and cam(ported + polished and shaved by previous owner)
-`liberated` exhaust manifold (no more substrate in there)
-2.5 inch under axle Magnaflow exhaust
-Electric fuel pump
-Tuned Mikuni 2xBBL carb (stock)
-MSD SCI with tach adapter
-8.8m Taylor wires
-Volvo 850 Radiator (out of necessity) using part of a Mercedes 230 upper rad hose and some clever bits from an Elantra to make adding fluid possible
-2000`s Z24 pull type `manual` rad fan (out of necessity)
-6000K HID and optional fog lamps
-1988 Firebird rear spoiler
-15 inch wheels from Escort GT (195 front 205 rear)
-7 speaker sound system with JVC head unit (it takes USB and is 45w channel - that`s all I know)
-Oh and I downgraded the steering wheel to that of a base model (from parts Stellar) because it looked better.
I think that`s it for now..

Glad to have your experience and expertise back on the site.

LOL if you ever need expertise on old 4G mitsubishi engines or carburators, I'm your man!
I've actually been on more Mitsu and Chrysler forums since I stopped posting... That and I'd like to buy a Genesis when I return
