Dave-O Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'd wager to say it stands for "Grand Sport Rallye", or something of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-O Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Grand Sport Rarry - Version Rarriart THIS. Tim, I'm loving the decal. I need to have mine cut, as well as the "Turbo Intercooler" decals that go across the sideskirts. Maybe I'll paint my car white and have the decals in Nevada Desert Sand or Palermo Gray ... might be a nice contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSR-VR was the jap designation for the widebody, of which around 800 were made in total for the japanese market. either 2600 GSR-VR (most common) or 2000 GSR-VR. as you can see from above, the V in VR is a roman numeral thing, the R we can only assume means RALLY, as per the american ESiR designation.. GSR is of course an old mitsubishi designation that dates back to the early 70's (look at galant GTO GSR's etc. there were approximately 75 2000 GSR-VR's made, with the sirius dash 3X2 motor in a widebody shell. worth about $25000 in japan, they hardly ever come up for sale, and are pretty much the holy grail of starions.. what a car! dash motors are awesome...

smallblock12 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 not to be dumb but what is a 3x2 dash motor?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzone Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 it's the 12 valve sohc 4G63 engine that some jap/euro spec starions and cordias, eternas came out with, has 2 intake valves (one switched off at low revs) and one exhaust valve per cylinder. Dash 3X2 was what mitsu called em, the GSR-V dash starions had that on the back window's lower right hand corner. typically though, they still had TBI lol. the starion version had 148kw (just under 200hp) standard and had a 7K redline, 9K tacho. plus they have an awesome powerband. Mainstream has the makings of a dash motor, he's building a GSR-V replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 yeah a guy in the NW found one in the corner of an engine shop, he didn't use the head though, he put a DSM DOHC head on it, but it is in a SQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
