Go buy OEM straight from Mitsubishi... Part# MB184084 https://www.mitsubishiwholesaleautoparts.com/oem-parts/mitsubishi-key-blank-mb184084

I have a CF center vent. I bought the 3pc CF set from Janner (Boosted Diamonds) for $400. But I’m running the CF sides with original center. So I have the CF center vent just sitting on the shelf.

FOR SALE: Custom Cowl Hood made from a stock metal hood. The Y-brace hood center was cut and raised and then the sides were added separately along with the vents in the rear. This hood came on a car I bought back in 2017. I had the hood professionally painted ”H84 Grace Silver” which is a 88/89 color. My paint guy said he had to put some extensive work into it to make the seams and everything flawless so it wasn’t cheap for me when I had it painted silver. Always stored inside and now it just hangs on the wall. It was just freshly polished so it’s pretty immaculate. Figured I’d see if anyone was interested in it. $1400 picked up in Spartanburg SC 29307. Pictures below in links...

Isaiah took $220 MaxSpeedingRod Coilovers and modified them to fit the Starion/Conquest. So you are riding on $220 coilovers. Some people have been happy with them. Some people not so happy.

You can buy that hood but your order will get canceled eventually and you’ll be told it isn’t available.

The seller is Spenser. He is GTXTHUNDER on these forums. He’s had a few 83s. Sold some whole and parted out others.

$2300 seems cheap to me….for a brand new factory 40yo hood. That was only offered for 1 year. Gotta be the only new one left in existence.

Technica package was on flatties only. So you’ll find them on 84-87 models occasionally. They aren’t super rare but definitely uncommon.

Been there. Done that. I bought a Honda Prelude 2 years ago that was MINT and could have never owned as a teenager. Are you looking for a mint low mileage example? Or just a driver you can enjoy anytime?

I was told I was like #18 in line for the 83 CF hood from Janner (Boosted Diamonds). They were $1600+shipping. so who knows how long the wait will be.

Do the 1JZ....skip all the other stuff..

Another Cars and Coffee this morning. There were 3 of us there today.

First official outing in the Conquest. Took it to a local Cars And Coffee 35min away.

I’m planning on it. My work schedule may hinder me. But I’ve been the last 4 years in a row and now that my car is ready….of course the work schedule is up in the air.

So I made an intro video for the Conquest with a background on how I bought the car. Hope I wasn’t too long winded. But this was my first experience editing. Did all this on my cheap iphone8 using iMovie.

And I need to remove these valve covers and get them repainted or powdercoated. Some brake fluid dripped on them as you can see the spots...

And now some engine shots:

And just a few other photos:

Check out the 3 hood options... Option #1--83 Hood w/ Carbon Fiber inserts Option #2--83 Hood w/ Regular Center vent and Carbon Fiber side vents Option #3--Custom Cowl Hood w/ vents in the back

He explained the whole process to me and I didn’t retain it…what I got from it….He used an aggressive pad and compound for the cut and did the whole car, which consumed multiples of these certain pads…. Then he went back and polished the entire car using a finer pad w/ a polish, and consumed multiples of these certain pads…

Full cut/polish completed…. I’m surprised at how good the old paint looks now. I’m very happy with the results.
