KevinKretsch Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, somebody al ready knows me, or know my car. I'm Kevin, i'm from Monterrey, México, and I have the unique Conquest here, also so far the unique one SQ running, Lol. Gonna tell you some of my history with her. Before know my car, I have never seen a SQ before. I'm a car trader, dealer, merchant, you know, I buy cars to sell them, so when I see a car in the Street that I like, I always ask for it, to see if they sell it. So one nice day, I see this bombshell, parked out of a Car-Audio Shop, so I stopped to check if they sell it, and luckily it was. The owner leave the car in that place to sell it, he's living in San Antonio, Texas, place where the car got a little restoration. It was a love at first sight. I always loved 240sx, 300zx, Rx7s, Japaneses RWD cars, that are weird here in Mexico, so when I saw this one, and the guy tells me its a Mitsubishi Starion sold by Chrysler as Conquest, and it's Turbo, got wet my pants. At that time I had a 2G Mitsubishi Eclipse with a 4G63 & a Trans Am with a LT1, so, I sold the Trans Am to get a new proyect car, I had two options, buy a S14 or the Starion... and know what? I bought the S14, don't hate me, I was willing to restore it, cause it was a salvage car, but luckily, a guy save me to do that, and buys me the car in those conditions, then I got money again to complete the Conquest, and yes, this time, I buy it. Was the best choice in my life. I had some troubles with it, but, it's the best car that I've had, the one that I've loved the most. I've had Trans Am, Eclipses, Mustangs, 240SX, VR6's, but no one can be compared with this Japanese technological advancement... yes, they should advance more with that TBI, but, It's an awesome, exclusive & lovely car. Well, this is my City, in the background "El Mirador del Obispado" (Bishopric Lookout), and back of them is the most representative Mountain of my City, "El Cerro de la Silla" (The Saddle Hill), named as that cause the similarity of it's profile to a Saddle, lol. Here in the Bishopric Lookout, and in the back the Downtown and the Saddle Hill. The track that we use to get some fun. It's a Old Go Kart track. Best photo of my car lol. I'm in love with this Interior! Here in a TV Show on a Local Channel. Here Filming a TV Spot for some Drag & Drift events in my city. Hope someday, I'll attend to the National Meeting guys, one day, my car will be prepared to do a trip of that kind! Regards, Cheers, Greetings, Saludos!

TSI_SVT Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Mitsubishi Starion sold by Chrysler as Conquest, and it's Turbo, got wet my pants. Mitsubishi/Chrysler would have sold more if they would have used that as a slogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinKretsch Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Gracias hermanos, Thanks Bros! Glad to be here. Mitsubishi/Chrysler would have sold more if they would have used that as a slogan Haha, I don't have any doubt Lol. Welcome. Always wondered if some of these cars made it to Mexico. They wasn't been sold in Mexico. This one is imported from the US, with a kind of regularization cause it was a american car in Mexico, with a Mexican owner, without any document to be legal, or registered in a Mexico's Department of Motor Vehicles. In that time, here were lots of cars in this situation. So in 2001 we have a Vehicle Regularization to registered all this car, and makes them legal. This car passed that process to be Mexican. Btw, actual Importation, only accepts cars made in US, Canada & Mexico. Japanese cars aren't able to be imported, so that's why this cars are so rare here. Mine was the first that I saw, the second and third one, I saw them in a Junkyard in Texas lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
