  1. 1987 Rio Red TSI, purchased October 23rd, 1986 at Fisher Chrysler, Yuma, AZ. S. Pino was my salesperson. They gave you a suede VIP pouch back then for you paperwork with a insert for the salesman's card. Still have 2 of his sales cards. 6.6 miles was recorded on the odometer with 5 of those from my test drive. Longest road trip was 4400 miles, Yuma to Manistee, MI and back. Went international to Europe (Germany) via the Army, had a blast on the autobahn. Originally titled in Arizona, then Europe, Texas, and finally Missouri when I retired. MO plates: "87 TSI". 2nd Starquest is an Atlantic Blue, automatic 1987 Technica that Mike Meyerhoff and I found for $300 in Olathe, KS. Only had that one since March, 2008.
  2. Has any one retrofitted their old GM OnStar analog mirror receiver to the new digital mirror receiver? If so, how detailed was the process? My Bonneville has the older system.
  3. Thumpster has a parts car, mostly stripped, but with a good looking roof though it looks like a sunroof. You mentioned eliminating the sunroof, so I don't know if you're interested. Looks like it's in Yorktown, VA. He posted pics http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=126155&hl=&fromsearch=1
  4. 1988 Conquest TSi (Verified using 1988 Chrysler Service Manual, page 6) H84 Grace Silver R04 Mexican (Rio) Red R88 Durban Maroon T87 Fuji Blue W09 Sophia White X15 Serbia Black Y59 San Marino Yellow 1984 Conquest (Dodge/Plymouth; verified using 1984 Conquest Service Manual, page 6) B71 Atlantic Blue H39 Kaiser Silver H80 New Italian Silver K16 Mezzon Gold R49 Provence Red X15 Serbia Black 2-Tone H35 New Italian Silver (H80)/Kaiser Silver (H39) W59 Polar White (W42)/Mezzon Gold (K16) X52 Serbia Black (X15)/ Mezzon Gold (K16) 1986 Conquest (Dodge/Plymouth; verified using 1986 Conquest Service Manual, page 6) H43 Eiger Silver K78 Valencia Gold L05 Olive Gray R04 Mexican (Rio) Red R64 Seychelles Red W18 Sarajevo White X15 Serbia Black (The service manual didn't indicate if all of these colors were available for both the flatty and widebody models.) Can any Conquest owners with 1983, 1985, 1987, and 1989 service manuals verify the color codes listed in the introduction section of the manual? Also if any Starion owners with a factory service manual can verify whether the color codes are listed.
  5. 1986 Starion ESiR H43 Eiger Silver L05 Olive Gray R04 Mexican Red W42 Polar White X15 Serbia Black 1987 Starion ESiR H43 Eiger Silver L83 Palermo Gray R04 Mexican Red S83 Shetland Beige W18 Sarajevo White X15 Serbia Black 1988 Starion ESiR H84 Grace Silver L83 Palermo Gray R04 Mexican Red W09 Sophia White X15 Serbia Black 1989 Starion ESiR H84 Grace Silver L83 Palermo Gray R04 Mexican Red R48 Windsor Red W09 Sophia White X15 Serbia Black (If anyone has a 89 ESiR with R48, it would be extremely rare since less than 160 1989 ESiR's were imported.)
  6. Conquest TSi (Widebodies only) (Still researching the 1986 Dodge and Plymouth widebodies) 1987 Conquest TSi B71 Atlantic Blue H43 Eiger Silver K78 Valencia Gold R04 Mexican (Rio) Red S83 Shetland Beige W18 Sarajevo (Rocky) White X15 Serbia Black 1988 Conquest TSi H84 Grace Silver R04 Mexican (Rio) Red R88 Durban Maroon T87 Fuji Blue W09 Sophia White X15 Serbia Black Y59 San Marino Yellow 1989 Conquest TSi H84 Grace Silver L83 Palermo Gray R04 Mexican (Rio) Red T87 Fuji Blue W09 Sophia White X15 Serbia Black Y59 San Marino Yellow I haven't started the Starion ESiR's yet. For validation purposes, I'm requesting members verify the paint code from the vehicle information code plate riveted onto the firewall in the engine compartment. "This plate shows model code, engine model, transmission model, final gear ratio, and body color code." A lot of cars have been repainted, and the new paint color may not have been a color originally offered for a particular production year. In order to verify the correct year, please use the VIN that is shown on the "Vehicle Safety Certification Label" attached on the face of the left door pillar. This label gives the month and year of production. Also, the 10th digit of the VIN will be a letter, D=1983, E=1984, F=1985, G=1986, H=1987, J=1988 and K=1989. Some dashboards have been replaced so the VIN on the dash may not be correct for a production year. If anyone has any ideas or guidelines on how to ensure we get an accurate database, let me know.
  7. I was researching starquest paint codes and reviewed the data posted in the FAQ. UL, (Ultimate Lurker) did a good job for the widebodies and there is a lot of general info for the earlier production years. So far, from the FAQ and other websites, I have the following unverified paint code data for Starion flatties only: 1983 Starion B46 Bering Blue H23 Nevada Sand H29 Italian Silver R73 New Safari Red X15 Serbia Black 1983 Starion 2-tone {LS model only (?)} Italian Silver (H29)/Bering Blue (B46) 1984 Starion H23 Nevada Sand H39 Kaiser Silver H43 Eiger Silver H80 New Italian Silver K16 Mezzon Gold L53 Canadian Green R49 Provence Red R73 New Safari Red S28 Chateau Beige (may have only been used in the 2-tone paint schemes) W18 Sarajevo (or Rocky) White X15 Serbia Black X56 Majorca Black 1984 Starion 2-tone H87 Nevada Sand (H23)/Provence Red (R49) X30 Serbia Black (X15)/Kaiser Silver (H39) X65 Serbia Black (X15/Mezzon Gold (K16) 1985 Starion H23 Nevada Sand H39 Kaiser Silver H43 Eiger Silver L53 Canadian Green R49 Provence Red R52 California Red R64 Seychelles Red R73 New Safari Red S28 Chateau Beige (may have only been used in the 2-tone paint schemes) W18 Sarajevo (or Rocky) White X15 Serbia Black X56 Majorca Black 1985 Starion 2-tone {LE model only (?)} R84 Seychelles Red (R64)/Chateau Beige (S28) X06 Majorca Black (X56)/Eiger Silver (H43) 1986 Starion H39 Kaiser Silver H43 Eiger Silver L05 Olive Gray R04 Mexican (Rio) Red R52 California Red R64 Seychelles Red S28 Chateau Beige (may have only been used in the 2-tone paint schemes) X15 Serbia Black X21 Velvet Black X68 Onyx Black Again this data was combined from several sites for Starion flatty's only. If you are a flatty owner and can help verify the data with the data plates on your Starion, it would be appreciated. If codes are missing let me know and if a code is listed which was not used, let me know so it can be deleted. I also have info for the Conquest flatty's too.
  8. The VIN is comprised of 17 letters and numbers (digits). Digit 1 = Country of origin Digit 2 = Make Digit 3 = Vehicle type Digit 4 = Other information Digit 5 = Line (Car Model) Digit 6 = Series Digit 7 = Body style Digit 8 = Engine Digit 9 = Check digit (0 thru 9, plus X) Digit 10 = Model year (D=1983; E=1984; F=1985; G=1986; H=1987; I=not used; J=1988; K=1989) Digit 11 = Manufacturing plant Digit 12 = Transmission/California 0= 1st digit of the serial number used sometime after 1985 model year 4= Manual transmission, not California 5= Manual transmission, California 6= Auto transmission, not California 7=Auto transmission, California Digits 13 thru 17 = serial number So a breakdown of the portion of the VIN you supplied: J Japan J Chyrsler 3 Passenger Car C Automatic (Passive) Seat Belt C Conquest or Starion 5 Premium Series 4 2-Door Hatchback N Intercooled 2.6 liters X Check Digit H 1987 Z Okazaki, Japan 0 Transmission or the beginning of the vehicle serial number The 1987 Conquests TSi's were the most common imported versions of the 1983 thru 1989 Conquests/Starion production line. Mexican Red was the most common 1987 paint scheme. The rarest versions were the 1989 production year Starions.
  9. The factory OEM part is no longer available. Also due to the age of a used pulley, it may fail again after you replace it. That pulley is actually 2 pulleys connects with by a hard rubber molding. There are aftermarket 1 piece pulleys available. I'll research and see where I bought mine. http://stores.ebay.com/101propose/Starion-/_i.html?_fsub=12290015&_sid=45900602&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
  10. Hey Tim, welcome to the Dodge truck world. Now all you need is a trailer and no, Mike and I won't sell you back your rims!
  11. La Russa announced his retirement this morning.
  12. Also, the motor housings are easy to disassemble and clean. A lot of the crud, (dried grease and plastic), gets caught in the gears.
  13. Don't know how well I'll trust a moving part, but for plastic gears it's workable. Interesting to see where this technology will go if they continue to develop it.
