I used to own one in the early 90's. Love this car. It was my first car. Had to buy another

Been looking for a looooonnnnnnng time and finally nabbed a good one. This car may not be expensive, but it is very rare, and I just love the styling lol. very 80's hahahah. it's a 1988 Conquest TSI (same as Mitsubishi Starion), 5 speed manual, rear wheel drive, 1 woman owner, 38k miles. hope you enjoy the videos.

Sweet another one over here! Welcome! In ronniej on starquestclub

Wes B. · 05-02-2013, 06:23 PM

Nice find! Are you going to leave it 100% stock?

Ryeong86 · 05-02-2013, 08:11 PM

OMG, nice find. I had a 1988 Chrysler Conquest TSI as well in red but mine had 157k miles on it and .... I blew the seals on my turbo because I overboosted that high mileage turbo :/. Got the turbo rebuilt at Majestic Turbo and then all kinds of stupid shit went wrong with the car so I sold it

supra2nv · 05-02-2013, 08:24 PM

thank you for the nice comments. Yes she is staying stock. Glad to see others on here like the Conquest and or had one!

I love how the quarter panel of our gt86 share similar flaring to the conquest. Not sure if anyone else shares the same opinion..

btw, I will post updates on my gt86 soon. Ordered all the trd parts (except body kit, sway's, and red stamp pieces, those will come later) and will post videos once all is installed

I had an 87 Starion, loved that car. Worst daily driver ever, had tons of issues, but it was still a blast. I had finally gotten the cooling system working perfectly, and then bent a rod at the track. :P I do miss it, though.

Ironically, it was the last component I replaced: the water pump. The only other car I had worked on at that point was my VR-4, and you had to mess with the timing belt to do the water pump... I didn't realize it had it's own belt on the Starion

Once I replaced it it ran right as rain (though admittedly, I had already replaced all of the hoses, the radiator, the fans, and the thermostat
