Hello !

Firstly , sorry for my english and i hope its the good section to post. :)

 

So i am from France. Starion were not sale here so mine is an import , that's why there are only 3 ressenced starion here.

I have a 88 widebody with the 4G63.

I want to restaure the car cuz i have buy the car with some problems ( dont run well / front is "broken").

And after try to prepare the engine, my goal is 360hp with the less boost possible.

 

Thanks !

Welcome!

I would like to see some pictures too.

You might want to check out the Australian Starion site too. They got Starion's with the 4G63 in them and the US did not. Either way we are here to help out

As u can see , the front bumper / lip / headlight / corner of the grill and grill are broken / rusty .

This time i prepare the car for the paint and chassis rebuild ( sway bar / D2 coilovers / Bushing ( i dont find a bushing kit just some parts ) / and then paint of chassis ... )

The car have lot of electrical problem , so i try to rebuild all too ( its hard for me but i think i can do this)

Rapier - what is the name of the account your trying to activate on Austarion? Ill try and speed up the process for you.

 

That's a really cool car! It's the latest model I've ever heard of with a 2.0, as I though they were all 2.6's in 88 and 89, regardless of the market they were built for. It looks like a european EXport spec model, with the big number plate protrusion up front, fender mounter indicators, flush mounted fog lights and tail lights with integral fog lights.... But its LHD! Never seen one in this spec before, cool. Also, have never seen a speedo like yours before. All the EXport spec ones I've seen go up to 260kmph, but have MPH markings aswell as KMPH markings, yours is just in KMPH, sweet!

 

Looks like you have an awesome base to work with, and will be able to create something really special :).

Rapierfr , but now not very sure haha. Thanks :) , if you can help me for that it will be cool !

Yeah its an EX model !

I hope to make a good project on this car , but its hard for me because there are no parts , not enough seller want to ship to France... Or with huge shipping price .

And here Mitsubishi dont know this car !! :( .

For the moment maybe i will buy some parts from a starquestclub member. ( for the front ).

Impartient to start this project i just need some important parts ( bushings / and fronts parts ). :)

What do you think about bushing homemade ? Its possible ?

home made bushings are dooable, o you could even measure what you need and try to find something that will match.

 

www.nolathane.com.au is another manufacturer of bushings for our cars, they do everything for the front, and most of the bits for the rear too. I don't know if you'll be able to find a supplier in fnace though :-(. Surely somewhere in europe must do urethane bushings for starions though, with decent shipping prices?

Ok thanks ZacMan ;) .Now i have buy all the Whiteline bushings possible , but the rest of bushing is not made. So i have urethane liquid , i will try to make them. ( Engine mounts , lsd mounts , and on the rear cross member , dont know the name.)

Ah in America too ! Ok :)

 

For the moment the project don't progress :/

Thanks for this link ! :)

 

Merci ! Le 4G63 est très marrant même en 8S :) ! ( The 4G63 is very funny even in 8V ! )

At the start i wanted to swap the top with the 16s evo 3 , but i think i will stay on the stock engine.

 

 

Maybe in 2 month , i will paint all the car with the evo X white ( i think ! ) . Some pic of the part i have now ;) ( I have the US front lip and corner light too but not pictured )
