Charged_GBH Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey guys,Ok, I'm not really new to the site, been here since a while. Many interesting things to read here. Helped me a lot in restoring my Starion. Totally forgot to introduce myself My name is Stefan and I'm one of 31 Starion owners in Germany. Bought the car in december 2011 from my best friends dad. He needed some money and I had some bucks left, because I saved some money for a Mazda RX 7. He's an absolute die hard Starion fan ('till now he had four of them, all sold because of money issues). Since I bought the car from him, we're completely restoring it (It was in really bad condition). Got new paint, cylinder head, drive shaft, most of the interior, new front air dam, manifold, etc... Still got a lot of work to do, just ordered a new radiator from TEP. Till now we spent about 15.000 Euros (about 18.000$) in rebuilding the car.About the car: It's an red 89 Mitsubishi Starion EX. Totally stock at the outside, but under the hood working about 300 HP.So, that's it, race onGreetings, Stefan PS: Hope, you understand my poor english.

MotoCam360 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Keep us updated on the restoration progress..... sounds like a worthy effort!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charged_GBH Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Don´t worrie, I´ll keep you updated on the progress But I can´t work on the car ´til march, cause for the winter it stands in a garage that´s barely bigger than the car. So I have to wait ´till I can work on the car outside. Hope the weather is fine in march.By the way: If anybody has some non electrical side mirrors, a steering wheel without the radio control unit or the black plastic/rubber band that´s around the side windows on the outside of the car, please let me know. Seems like nobody has that parts on sale and it´s almost impossible to get Starion parts here in Germany. @scott87star: You speak German??

Charged_GBH Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi, air intake works fine Old one had a big crack. Sorry that I have no news on the euro tach for ya, but I'll keep searching. Do you need some other euro parts ? Maybe I can help you with something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bha280 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Welcome! I have a steering wheel from a first generation Eclipse I can send you. It is three spoke and has a small Mitsubishi logo on it. If you're interested I can dig up a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charged_GBH Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 @bha280 Thanks for the offer but I only look for Starion parts, cause I want the car to look as stock as possible The wheel work fine, I'm just looking for a new one, cause you really see that it's nearly 24 years old, same with the side mirrors and the window rubber.But thanks again for the offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bha280 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 No problem. It does look like it belongs in the car. A non-Starion enthusiast wouldn't know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikconq Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I do have a steering wheel ,,it has the button,,as I believe all U.S. cars do,,,,butI think you could use your cover that would hide the spot where it is. I'm not sure if it would work. I've never tried to delete the radio control. Well I would love to have euro tail lights,euro manual mirrors Lmk,,, I pretty much have anything you would need,,of coarse U.S. specific stuff. Don't think I have the window trim on the outside tho,,that is any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charged_GBH Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Can both of you send me some pics of the steering wheel, please ?@quikconq: I will check if I have the side mirrors, but it will take til next week, cause all my parts are in the basement of a friend of mine and next time i'll meet with him is next saturday. As for the taillights, I've been looking for them, since I bought the car but no chance to find them. I only could ask the Mitsu dealer, if he can order some. But they will be very expensive, if available. At least, this is my experience with the few things Starion related, that are available nowadays at the Mitsu dealer.I'll call the dealer tomorrow, and ask him about the taillights. Send you a PM, when I know something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikconq Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah,deffinately let me know about the mirrors. Depends on price for the tails. ThanxBryen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charged_GBH Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yea, but the problem is, most of the parts don't fit on my Starion, like the power mirrors or the radio control unit on the steering wheel won't work etc...
