Gotariceburner Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Name: ChrisLocation: Vabeach/ oceanfrontMeans of contact: pmPrice: $1800obo Description:1989 fiji blue chrysler conquest tsi SHP (aka mitshu starion esi-r)sport handling packagePW/PL, A/C, Cruise2.6l intercooled turbo 163k5sp manualRWD w/lsd SHP model with removable sunroof (no leaks) and 8 way adjustable struts, supposed to also have the stock 8' & 9' wheels however the aftermarket wheels pictured below (same size) are what was on it when i got it. Picked it up over summer, have replaced injector clips but still seems to have a vacume leak/ fuel issue (possible fuel filter/ pump, injector, vacume hose or dist./ timing off b/c seems to be running a little lean) From some research i'v found these are usualy easy fixes but can spend time on process of elimination with these cars. Like i said though car does run/ drive however wants to bogg when accelerating, not build boost and has a valve tap or timing chain guide chatter (poss. valve adjustment?). It does'nt smoke and sounds good but needs more tweaking time. I had intentions of keeping as wknd/ project car but was kind of an impulse buy for me b/c as much as i love the style and rarity of these cars i'm new to them and really wanted an older miata/ e30. title is clean & clear in my name but havnt tagged it yet so its in my driveway thus cant be driven to show (start it every couple days) Paint is faded but body is straight with only two or three dings and a quarter size spec of rust where drivers door rubs pillar, framerails look good. interior is really clean all pieces are intact just needs front floormats, only two small tears in drivers front seat but besides are just little worn due to age, no cracks in dash, pioneer headunit & speakers. Engine bay is pretty clean and mostly left stock besides an OHV pipe w/ turbonetics blow-off, 2 1/2" downpipe to 3" exhaust out a turbo muffler and some vacuum lines cleaned up/ replaced. thats about it may be forgeting some things but will add as i remember. the car is really clean overall has a march '13 inspection and alot of potential, would make a nice wknd project or dd after a few more tweaks. B/c of the timing and boost issue i would'nt recomend driving farther than 15-20 minutes so would probably need to be towed to be safe if you want to take the car Farther. Have another car and just moved to a place where i can really only have one car so no longer looking for trades. I am located at oceanfront. shoot me a email for more details or questions.

importwarrior Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 those look like 1987 seats . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrngwae Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 yes 87 seats but the car is an 89. rear shoulder belts, 88-89 steering wheel and HVAC controls. but mostly the belts is the giveaway for 89's unless someone did a swap.
