My project "サイレン" 86'
So this is my first car.. A 1986 Mitsubishi Starion 2.6l turbo 2+2 rwd coupe. Started off as the daily before I got into the FR-S. Completely the opposite in terms or characteristics..aside from the great handling. It's heavier with allot of low end torque. Still quite a blast to drive though.! And don't even get me started on the heads it turns aha. So for modifications I've lowered it with eibach springs, upgraded the turbo, coil on pack ignition
(fully sequential) converted to muliport injection and it's running megasquirt. . anyway here's a few photos:
From this bay...
to this..

To
Then to
..hard to tell but I'm running 8's all around now vs the staggered 7'sx8's..and I had to ditch my airdam for the intercooler but I will be investing in another.
I'll leave you with that for now ahah.

Thanks everyone. The pictures really cover up the blemishes though. . It needs allot of attention cosmetically. Which is the next bit to get redone after the bigger turbo ahah. I actually don't have to many videos lot more pictures then anything but I'll post what I do have

Gotta love the conquest and starions. I really have to say I am a fan of the mid 80's silver and grey sports cars. Certain colors (usually not the oddball ones, but thats not the case) of certain cars, do not age well.
Yours looks like a good example from afar. Just keep taking those nice dusk shots and it looks spectacular!

Thanks. I do plan on getting her re-painted though just as soon as the performance is to my liking. The quality of this paint seems to be far superior to that of my FR-S..even though obviously the one here is showing it's age. I'm kind of leery with this water based stuff now a days but the car needs a fresh start.
