Does anyone know what tires Mitsubishi equipped the Starquest with from the factory? All my build sheet says is the size and that they were RWL (raised white letter). Interested in this to keep the OG spirit alive! See image of my 1983 that I am getting back in the road.

Years ago I mounted one from the side of the block. Forgive me for not remembering exactly where I bolted it but this allowed me to connect everthing to the front and rear of the block before re-installing it. Jimmy

I use the widest bottom bellhousing and the two top bellhousing holes. if you have the flywheel still attached you need to have some spacers

I have the engine out and hanging on a hoist. I'm unsure where to attach the four engine stand "posts" to the engine. Here's the stand: https://a.co/d/0151UHcG. You've seen the engine before. Any suggestions? My mechanic friend is pretty sporadic in his help and I'm about to tackle this whole project by myself (with frequent posts here, most likely.)

thanks!

congrats on the purchase .starquestparts.net will have everything you need.

Looks like they are available O'Reilly. https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/b/brakes/brake-drums---rotors/brake-rotors/d133f11235f8/v/a/7062/automotive-car-1987-mitsubishi-starion?q=brake+rotors

I have an 87 Conquest that is my daily driver and it now needs front rotors, I am struggling to find these. Anyone have a source?

I have used nothing but Redline MT90 in the trans. This thread talks about the rear end oil. I can't remember what I used there. https://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/135294-recommended-rear-end-gear-oil/

Just found some how to in the lube section.

87 TS1 Manual Transmission I'm looking to replace these gear oil for the first time. Any recommendation on what to use and basic process will be appriciated. I'm also replacing the RR wheel end CV joint boot. Thanks as always

How it going everyone. I just got back into another 87 Starion I grabbed out of New Mexico. Brought it back to El Paso and started to get to work. It needs a refresh has only 90Psi on all 4 cylinders but does run and move. Does have a few mods too. Has FIC Primary and Secondary injectors, FuelTech 450, and a tuned already uploaded. How true that part is I don’t know. It runs but has a noticeable misfire on it. Has a few other things I need to fix wiring wise as well and find some interior parts for it. But not to bad for $2000 for the shape. Once I figure out how to reduce picture size I’ll up load pictures. Car also came with original rear and side louvers. But if anyone in Texas or New Mexico has some parts let me know I’m looking for a few and have some extras I can potentially trade off. I need: Black center console right-side louver mount for the screw to go into Drum that the intake filter goes inside of driver side auto seatbelt motor Black hood latch handle thats the majority of what I’m looking for right now everything else is engine parts that are already on order to refresh the engine. Im glad to be back into one of these that’s for sure.

Unfortunately, looks like the shop that I thought would do it originally is now saying they can't. I'll keep looking around to see if I find one that does, and I'll keep an eye on the Yahoo auctions.

Rebuild may be the best bet. If it is just the damaged cable, then that is a relatively easy fix.

I've been trying there with no luck so far - I did have the idea though to ship the old one to a starter/alternator shop to see if they're able to rebuild it, so hopefully that will turn out well.

Tbh best bet is probably yahoo auctions

Hello - Looking for either the part or any leads someone would have on it for part MD077383, an oil feeder control unit for my JDM 1985 GSR-V Starion. We're rebuilding the engine and this is the final component we need but any attempt to find it in Japanese auto stores online leads to the stores not having it in stock, them contacting Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi not having the part. Any info, parts or help would be greatly appreciated!

I knew someone would know! Thanks for the info Steve

His name is Joseph Drake...long time SQ owner, super nice car. Steve

I was doing some cleaning and came across these parts. I don't recall what year of vehicle they came off of. I can provide pictures, but they are too large to attach in this post. Feel free to ask any questions.

I remember someone here doing that a long time ago. Maybe a search would show something.

that's awesome. I remember a post by someone doing a 6g72 in the past but was having cooling system issues.

I agree. It looks like a quality job on the swap. I bet it's a blast to drive!

Engine bay looks beautiful, wonderful and tastefully modified.
