And I see where you called it a “rewarding investment”. I wouldn’t expect to ever get your money back out of one of these. These aren’t the cars you can buy, then engine swap them, and then sell for profit…… If I could just break even, I’d sell mine immediately to do so.

Hate to hear that… I recommend a JZ swap. Here is my build thread:

The quarter panel after the cut and polish: And me representing the LudeQuest shirt and hat (I never wear hats so I had one of the kids take this pic so my wife would roll her eyes)

These few pics are from my friend Lu stopping by as we headed to a car meet (video was posted above). I moved the Prelude out so he could pull in for a few photos.

Sorry guys but I riced out the engine bay with a LED strip. After going to a few night meets, I felt the bay needed some light for the night meets. And I ditched the K&N filter with 4 inlet, and just installed a Turbo-Guard Screen to clean it up even more.

I took the Conquest out to Cars&Coffee 3 weeks ago. I haven't been to one since February when I posted up those videos. I've been to a couple of small meets but nothing big. So once I got home from the Cars&Coffee event, I started browsing the FB group looking at everyone's photos to see if I could find any of my car. Here are the only two I found: This one was from a guy who sets up at the entrance and takes pictures of all cars. His album had over 1,000 photos so I knew I could find this one. And I saw this picture randomly while browsing someone else's photos.

Firstly, I know that cloth is 1000x more comfortable than that hard leather. But, how much time do you actually spend inside of there? Not much I’d guess. So is comfort really a focus? But then again, if you were to truly enjoy the car and put miles on it as you should, then you want it to be as pleasant as possible. I saw that cloth set when it was on eBay for $2500 OBO. I wondered who actually bought it. Lastly, that tan leather was amazing against that blue car. Nothing could have improved that. Also, considering how uncommon tan interiors are, it was really special. Only you and Kev have these amazing blue cars with tan interiors. To end it, get the tan leather recovered one day and revert back.

That’s exactly what I prefer. Free. Stay an hour or less. And in the evenings. I’m not the guy bringing a chair to sit beside my car and wait for people to talk to me about the car. That strikes me as awkward.

Maybe it’s me. But I don’t do car shows. I can’t stay for hours. And pay to do it. I prefer car meets in the evenings. Where you roll on. Park. Walk around. Talk cars. And then I can leave before an hour has passed by.

Look on your FB post for a picture. $800

That is a Haltech IC7 digital dash. And the seats are recovered for sure. They were black 1987 seats and someone had them reupholstered in black/gray. I bought them off a guy in Atlanta GA in 2019.

I know someone in Simpsonville SC. Who is about to pull a 2.6L and swap in a Honda K24….. are you close to South Carolina? The car runs and drives fine. It’s an 88.

Me and a friend Lu went to a small car meet last night. Lu has the red 86 w/ 2JZ that made 900whp

SOLD…

Between Techboy and Kev, they showed the craziest attention to detail during their builds….

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.
