BrazilBoy Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 wanna trade???i have a set of each the starion and the conquest from the states??????????wonder if the license plate frames are the same size????hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-By Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 wonder if the license plate frames are the same size????hmmmm The light cluster widths are exactly the same and the center section fits either UK US or JDM the only diference is the size of the cut out and where the reg plate lights are situated. We've bought a couple of the centers from Japan with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Magna intake to modify and a couple of Evo 6 throttle bodies. I'm looking into increasing the Magana runners with larger bore piping to match the ported head.

Drive-By Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 that should be awesome! Pro's and cons, RHD means loadsa room inlet side but makes thing a tad tight on the exit side without relocating filter, PAS resevior etc. We'll see how summer pans out, just moving Mitsu-Mech my business into larger premises ATM and it's all a bit hectic despite best laid plans. But hopefully some progress should be made on all our Starions soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking into increasing the Magana runners with larger bore piping to match the ported head. which magna manifold do you have? the TR/TS type one has way larger and longer runners than the TN/TP type that the yanks need to use.. we can fit the later type ones due to no brakes on that side! ps what made you fit the TD05HR highmount? would be a lot better low mounted due to the exhaust housing design ps i can get 10mm TD05HR flanges off the shelf over here if ever u find someone else needing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spose I could post a pic. As for the high mount I was more concerned putting it in a standard position for the HRA due to heat soak into surrounding items, brake resevior etc. But its worth thinking about for sure. Thanks.

Drive-By Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Woah last update I made was 2010!!! Guess being your own boss translates to every project on hold.Now it's 2014 and it seems like some kind of wierd amazing dream but she is running thanks to some doner parts from my fiancees starion and my brother in law has just delivered her back after running her in for me.Going back to late last summer I'd started losing sleep about my built 54 sweating and being ruined before even running. So I bought a boroscope and checked the bores...http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/DEDBCF2F-E60F-4A93-B99B-537D98BD3CC0_zps5dtk8e8o.jpgIn a word relief! So onto the ramp with a shameful layer of dust and on with trying to get her to Japanese Auto Extraveganza the the biggest jap show of the year in the UK.Now I've heard old fuel turning to varnish but this stuff really stung on the skin. Special brew from 2004 errrghhttp://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/D43800BC-F3E0-4E1B-83E4-CFF7239216E4_zpsvt9e3zgw.jpg Dropped the tank and then sent it off to remove the half inch thick of muck in there. Before replacing the pump with a Walbro Eventually I have the parts for MPI but for running in and troubleshooting anything I find before that Ive fitted the standard turbo but port matched and tidied up the exhaust manifold to flow smoothly from the ported head. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/4F606C4A-E0E5-4549-8F20-14DCCF5DBE2A_zpsd4tmg9mo.jpg The pipe work and rad cowling had been powder coated years ago and finally got installed. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/BDB05ABD-921D-4BBE-8C16-645CE83DCEB7_zpsjjqcwlsk.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/624D59ED-3509-45D8-85DF-4CB46EF8F6E9_zpsogd6ouah.jpg Next I needed to finish off the extraction so bought what I needed to make a straight through 2.5 system to a 2.5 in 5 out can which whn I'm done with it will go onto my Fiancees Starion. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/8AB50B74-115E-4EF8-9846-2E347E819137_zpsxiucw1cq.jpg She was, after a new knock box and some earthing issues, finally running although not at all happy when boost came in. Secondary inject was working but clearly not right so I got some Trilogy's but it seemed to be over fueling massivelt despite fitting a remote FPR to have a little for confidence in things. I changed the TB gaskets, blancke the EGR and jerry rigged a standard primary with the Trilogy secondary and she feels much much better. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/27B9F5F9-116A-4D7C-B823-AD282F3DD85A_zpsohfrtltu.jpg Well after all that I had missed the show and it was now the summer of this year!! But she is running... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/451B128B-B862-4F84-9426-3588D72BDB9F_zpsu8q7tbpe.jpg ...and nerve wrecking as it was I handed the keys to my Bro in Law to take her back to base and runn her in in time to make an event.... And what an event I had 2 of my cars invited to Mitsubishi UK's 40th Birthday Celebration the "Mitsubishi Grand Tour" hosted by Mike Brewer. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/C5B5F9A7-C6FF-4625-844D-30E2EB9A7F3F_zpsgyjatzfv.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/5BEBC377-5067-4F35-8DD1-64F72447060D_zpsqcntvgvo.jpg Although the highlight for me was meeting old friends from MMC Colt Car Company who I hadn't seen in years Feels quite unreal finally driving her after trailoring her home in 2004 there's been an awful lot gone on in my life and its almost like some kind of out of body experience getting behind the wheel in her. Just wish gas was cheaper over here I'd never be out of her.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/B0506E19-05C7-40D6-BF83-C04F47FC089C_zpsjnfpjzil.jpg Edited July 3, 2014 by Drive-By Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for the update, the car is looking great. 40 years in the U.K. wow. 9 years before they came to our shores. That event looks like a blast! I bet there were a lot of cool mitsu's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-By Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys, yeah it was a pretty fun packed day we started out from an airfeild in the cotswolds and drove a scenic route to Silverstone circuit for lunch in the wing! then back to the airfield for a BBQ prizes and wing walking if you were up for it. This is the official video of the day and my Starion driven by my Brother in Law on the day at 3.30 leaving Silverstone https://www.youtube....h?v=IhLP7Bo5zHc <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IhLP7Bo5zHc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited July 4, 2014 by Drive-By Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive-By Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 She wasn't looking good with a big empty hole in the center console and I always like to go period with cosmetic mods. So a few weeks lurking eBay paid off and I found a near mint Alpine pull out cassette and changer combo http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/DriveByImportClub/Starion/B2659F3D-9012-4C87-9F84-8029F1B298CE_zpsgi5sc0lf.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
