If my dad was still alive, he'd break his neck to try to meet you and see these Starquests.

This by far is one of the best platforms covering Conquest/Starion's.

Excellent info! Ive spoken to you over the phone before. Hope to be a customer soon! My friend's mom had a new 1985 Starion. She always had cool cars. 4:38 Im willing to bet all the factory Starion seats were made by Recaro. The '83 seats actually look very similar to tje 4th Gen Prelude seats. They, too, were made by Recaro.

I bought my first Starion in 1987 when i lived in Florida , it was an ‘84 model with only 19k miles on it . Soon after i bought it , Turbo went bad and since there was a recall Mitsubishi dealer replaced it with a new intercooled turbo . I bought a black ‘87 model from an auction when i first moved to Atlanta in ‘92 and i didnt really enjoy it since it was automatic . Since then i bought and after awhile sold another 3 Conquests , a silver , white and a gorgeuos red one which i kick myself for having sold it about 12 years ago and finally i found a realy nice 2 owner blue ‘86 Conquest that i bought only about two months ago and will hang on to this one . Engine has been rebuilt and some modifications and the previous owner had tears in his eyes when giving me the title since he had it since 1999 and didnt plan on selling it but the HOA had forced him to remove it because of parking space . Anyhow i told the previous owner anytime he wants he can come to my shop and take the car for a short spin because i know how much he loved and had put into this car . I really enjoyed your clip and already checked out your website . Thank you !

Very cool story. So neat to see how positively certain cars can have on people. Blue, white, yellow, black, and red all look amazing on these cars. That's pretty rare.

Nice walk-though. Love the white 87. I HATE the burgundy interior! Black is best and you did an excellent job with the conversion. That 88 is really sweet! All tasteful, factory-like mods - The 83 hood, the seat belt conversion, and THAT ENGINE!! Thanks for the video.

Thanks - it’s crazy that white on black was never an option!?! Trying to find a blue one to spruce up one day soon…I’m saving a couple others as well in the meantime so hopefully a couple more videos soon;)

i am looking at getting a 89 conquest for my first car because i found one for 4k on offerup near me. it does need a hood grill center console lower door seal trim and paint. but compaired to the rest i could find its a steal because it is the widebody style which i love and its got the 5 speed manual. I also think they are the best looking car that isnt a 200k+ car which the next would be a murciallago but this is second for best looks in my opinion. i also plan on getting all the parts from your site.

Awesome - hopefully you are able to grab it and get it sorted out. Agreed that these are awesome looking cars, timeless and only looking better as time goes on! Holler at me if you need any parts if you do end up getting the 89

In 90s i had red 88 Conquest TSI, 5 spd. Car would blow head gasket even after replacing it once. I didn't even drive that aggressively. Anyone knows if this was common issue on those cars and why, or did i have lemon one? I remember that car was rare to see even in 90s. Ppl didn't know about them. To me then this car looked like a lambo which is why i got it. I wish i had a old picture with this car. For some reason i snapped one.

It was common. One of the most common reasons so many of them had less than 60K miles and Sat in people's yards. From my understanding, the issue was due to the head being aluminum and the block being made of iron. The 2nd most common issue was the heads cracking due to the emissions jets in the head.

These cars definitely had their issues, and head gaskets (and cracked heads in general) were common. The good thing is, they are easy to replace and get back on the road.

@@steves.7933 So what is the remedy to fix blown head gasket cause replacing it every few months is not a fix and is super expensive in labor costs. Asking cause i never figured it out before mine was gone.

I've had an 84 Technica, a 86 TSI, 87 TSI, 88 TSI. Wish I still had the 86. And yes, the aweful red interior was a mistake. Black is best for these cars.

They should've just put black in all colors. But the 80s Japanese cars were known to have odd color interiors. My dad's old '86 Accord had brown interior.
