They got Starion's with the 4G63 in them and the US did not. Either way we are here to help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZacMan Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Rapier - what is the name of the account your trying to activate on Austarion? Ill try and speed up the process for you. That's a really cool car! It's the latest model I've ever heard of with a 2.0, as I though they were all 2.6's in 88 and 89, regardless of the market they were built for. It looks like a european EXport spec model, with the big number plate protrusion up front, fender mounter indicators, flush mounted fog lights and tail lights with integral fog lights.... But its LHD! Never seen one in this spec before, cool. Also, have never seen a speedo like yours before. All the EXport spec ones I've seen go up to 260kmph, but have MPH markings aswell as KMPH markings, yours is just in KMPH, sweet! Looks like you have an awesome base to work with, and will be able to create something really special . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Rapierfr , but now not very sure haha. Thanks , if you can help me for that it will be cool !Yeah its an EX model !I hope to make a good project on this car , but its hard for me because there are no parts , not enough seller want to ship to France... Or with huge shipping price .And here Mitsubishi dont know this car !! .For the moment maybe i will buy some parts from a starquestclub member. ( for the front ).Impartient to start this project i just need some important parts ( bushings / and fronts parts ). What do you think about bushing homemade ? Its possible ?

ZacMan Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 home made bushings are dooable, o you could even measure what you need and try to find something that will match. www.nolathane.com.au is another manufacturer of bushings for our cars, they do everything for the front, and most of the bits for the rear too. I don't know if you'll be able to find a supplier in fnace though :-(. Surely somewhere in europe must do urethane bushings for starions though, with decent shipping prices?

creakyjoints Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Rapier. Mitsubishi in America doesnt know Starion either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Ok thanks ZacMan .Now i have buy all the Whiteline bushings possible , but the rest of bushing is not made. So i have urethane liquid , i will try to make them. ( Engine mounts , lsd mounts , and on the rear cross member , dont know the name.)Ah in America too ! Ok For the moment the project don't progress :/ Edited August 29, 2013 by Rapier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdScrip Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Excellent car. I wish some day I can get a 4g63 Starion (as from factory). Also, je parle un peu francais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAinsworth Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 When dealing with Mitsu, it is best to bring the part numbers with you.

Rapier Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks for this link ! Merci ! Le 4G63 est très marrant même en 8S ! ( The 4G63 is very funny even in 8V ! )At the start i wanted to swap the top with the 16s evo 3 , but i think i will stay on the stock engine. Maybe in 2 month , i will paint all the car with the evo X white ( i think ! ) . Some pic of the part i have now ( I have the US front lip and corner light too but not pictured ) http://imageshack.us/a/img259/4046/8j3y.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img823/2940/mkrb.jpg Edited September 2, 2013 by Rapier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
