RE: other cars
I just picked up an 86 Dodge Conquest TSi last month. It had been sitting for a few years, so it needs some work. I just received my brake rotors in the mail, today. Struts are next. It bounces for hours after going over a speed bump... I'm thinking of getting some Tokico blues, but I'm not sure yet. All in all, it's a fun car, and the Starion community has been a valuable resource so far.

The MITSUBISHI STARION TURBO was first introduced into the U.K. in 1981. A 2-litre single overhead camshaft design, Although its original engine did NOT include an intercooler, it was still able to produce 170bhp-and was widely regarded as.
MK 2 - NARROW BODY STARION INTERCOOLED TURBO
Late in 1983 Mitsubishi Motors {The Colt Car Company in the U.K.} Introduced an Air to Air Intercooler into the Starion engine. Along with a Turbo Boost increase to 12psi the power output was increased to 177bhp.
MK 3 NARROW BODIED INTERCOOLED STARION
The next alteration by Mitsubishi was to replace the front spoiler with a deeper air-dam, this allowed the Intercooler to be mounted almost vertically and therefore became far more efficient. A three piece rear spoiler was fitted to the rear to give a 'wrap-around' effect . The bonnet had its 'vent's' removed and the side air panels re-modeled to produce an all round 'smooth' effect. The Front bumper also had the addition of high visibility driving lights installed & the alloy wheels increased in size to 15'.
MK 4 - 'WIDE BODY' 2ltr INTERCOOLED STARION
In 1987 Mitsubishi Motors U.K. introduced the 'WIDE-BODY' Starion. This was the most dramatic alteration that the Starion underwent. The wheels were increased to 16' alloys with very wide 225 rubber on the rear & 205 tyres on the front. The bodywork was . altered to include flared wheel arches and side skirt's
MK 5 WIDE BODY 2.6 LITER CATALYST UNLEADED STARION
The final alteration in the U.K. to the Starion was to conform to new fueling regulations with the introduction of an Unleaded engine. With a catalyst the power output was dramatically reduced to only 153bhp. The only external clue given that the car is a 2.6ltr is that Mitsubishi decided to NOT fit the 'pop up' head light washers to the front grille.
