The answer to your question is that the Starion/Conquest was made by Mitsubishi and sold here as the Starion AND Chrysler Conquest from 84-89. They were packed solid with tech and were RWD Turbo cars with a fully independent suspension and Anti-lock brakes in certain years. the 87-89 had an SHP (handling package) that had coilovers, a widebody treatment to the exterior and wider, staggered wheels and are very collectible. Starting to appreciate some and are a great swap car for the 4G63 (from the Talon, Eclipse, EVO) as well the LSx V8 series and the 2JZ from the Supra twin turbo. The stock motor was capable but had it's limits. The LS swap is cool but required more fabrication than I was willing to do. The 2JZ is good for 900hp on the stock bottom end so it's ALL the motor the car will ever need and can be tuned for track days or a drag strip (the track days are more my speed these days) They are relatively cheap and can be turned into wickedly fast but predictable cars as they were decently engineered for even today's standards. PLUS, no driver aids.....just the way I like it.Cool

Jack, do you have pictures? I've lost and unfortunate number of cups of coffees to my rear floor.
So, a few months ago I said I was going to "take one for the team" and order a set of Stainless Steel Brake lines from OZ that were originally intended for the 323 GT, GTX. Pics I could find, verified it was worth a shot and I am happy to say they got here today from OZ. (I actually ordered them on Friday of last week) and they are spot on for fitment. Build quality is excellent as well. If you have yet to replace those tired, old rubber hoses. This is the ticket. Better pedal feel (as in stiffer and better modulation). More reliable and look damn sexy behind a good set of wheels. with some cleaned and painted calipers and a set of aluminum hub centric spacers to give it a little wider stance. I mainly bought them for the function since mine were original and had seen a better day after all those years. If you want to know where I bought em. PM me.Nice
