@@MrTuttleboy "generic LS swap" is still a smart move, means it's a well known reliable option where you'll never have to wait for some backordered part that only a special shop in Japan makes

Few things: 1) being in the UK that’s a Mitsubishi Starion to me, made famous by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, getting one for less than £1500. 2) that thing sounds absolutely GORGEOUS!! What a noise! 3) John has engineered the shit out of it, appreciate that, what a legend!
Always been one of my favorite builds. I had a starion and a conquest. You have to have 2 at a time if you want one running every weekend. Lost a front spoiler and had to use the wing off the top tail end of an 89 Suburban flipped upside down.
The Starion and Conquest were always my favorite cars as a kid! I had a friend who had one and it was so freaking sexy. It was like he was flying a jet, the number of switches and lights just made it look like a cockpit of a jet. Very nice example!
Yo I just finally got a 88 starion after looking for one for over a year. It’s so hard and they are going up in price. Love seeing these comments for starquest love!
Starion is definitely a bucket list car, developed a love for these things after I got my first mighty max, the 4g54 is a surprisingly good motor, just have to pre-warm the head in an oven and torque head bolts to 87-90ftlbs.
I've been watching Hoonigan for a little over 4 years now, and this car left an impression in me, I always remember it from the first time it was featured on a DT as one of my favorite builds. Nice to see it back again.
Man this car is one of the first videos I watched of hoonigan back in the day. Still easily my favorite car featured. Just because it looks cool and the man built or had a hand in fabbing or installing every fucking part on this beast. Built not bought.
Well that’s gonna last a long time 🥺🤚 i’m pretty sure I could hear the RS3 whimpering please don’t leave me with these people felt so bad for it I could see evil laughter in the back of that man eyes as he ripped the life out of the poor little Audi 🤞🙁Good luck young German you are going to need it .
The Starion/Conquest was always a great looking car of its era; twice as good in this guise with the bodywork and some homebrew improvements. This is so cool to see it finally with an engine to match!
Damn I've been seeing these get a ton of attention lately. I need them to stay affordable until I have somewhere to keep one. This is the drift build car on my wishlist.
I LOVED the Conquest and Starion back in the day and now. This guy had the right idea keeping it and buying a red one. He knows what he likes, and I like it too.
I've seen this car in person, I told the owner that I absolutely loved it. If I had to use one word to describe it, it's gnarly. Sounds amazing, looks phenomenal, and I'm sure, it's fast as Hell.
Just a master class in car design. Phenomenal stuff from john. My favorite car ever to appear on DT, and I’m not a gm guy or anything. Just love his work
Legit, a buddy of mine had a $2k deposit on that Skyline a few months back. He was just about to call the dealership to tell them that he's 100% about getting that car when he got an email from the dealership saying that somebody had bought the car out from under him for about $70k. Man, we were so upset about that. Skip ahead a few months to when we're hanging out at my place again, talking about upgrades for his Challenger and what not, while watching a Hoonigan video when the new giveaway car was revealed. We looked at each other and said "that car looks familiar." So we go the dealership's website and look through their sold inventory while comparing the pics of the car he had that $2k deposit on and the giveaway car. Everything matched down to the yellow air filters. Low and behold, it was Hoonigan that bought that car out from under him. Toprank Imports in Cypress CA is where that Skyline was.
@@calebvenable3464 Not butt hurt, we actually found it hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing at the situation. Still can't stop laughing. He got his $2k back, and we're working on fun mods for the Challenger
@@calebvenable3464 LMFAO how hard do you have to project your insecurities on another person, in order to earnestly suggest that another person's statement that conveys ZERO complaints whatsoever is expressing "butthurt"?? Really, i mean that is just a whole new level i haven't seen before
@@mitchsnyder2619 made by mitsubishi just badged as a chrysler in the us. Rest of the world its called a mitsubishi starion. I have half taken apart in my garage and not a single chrysler part lol
I’m a VW boy…. But goddam every time I see this thing…. One of my favourites, if not THEE favourite build you guys have ever featured. Thanks for bringing him back on 🙏🏻
Man I had an 87 Chrysler Conquest TSI, 87 Mitsubishi Starion TSI and a 1988 Starion. Loved those cars, These cost more than a new corvette in the 80's!!
I have a buddy with a Mitsubishi Starion that's been sitting for the past 15 years, and a spare LS1 sitting in my garage. Maybe this video will be some inspiration for him....
AAAAAAHHH! Conquest and the Starion were awesome but they were not powered by a turbo 4 cylinder....it was powered by a turbo forklift engine. Big one though at 2.6L. I had 2 Chryslers and 1 Mitsubishi Starion. And when I tossed the TBI intake for a dual 2 barrel throttle body and 8 injector multi port EFI. Plus a 70mm turbo and a big front mount, I made 462whp on 98 octane unleaded (thank you sunoco) at 14psi. And on 26psi and 110 VP, 691 to the tires. Plus I went through the the engine with more gooder guts but nothing radical, forged Diamond pistons cryo-treated steel rods and cryo-treated steel crank from a forklift. Ported head, oversized stainless and sodium filled valves and a custom cam. All ARP studs and bolts and only $3200 in the complete engine. Plus a Motech stand alone. Stock trans and a narrowed Ford 8.8 with 3.23's and 10.20's @ 139.
Didn’t even know that you guys were having a Giveaway this weekend. That Audi was dope but the GTR would make an excellent 46th Birthday Gift for me. I’ve entered. Good Luck to everyone. Awesome video Guys. I’ve NEVER seen a Conquest as custom as this one.

John shows up on the channel once every few years to remind people that he has the greatest Chrysler conquest on earth
Never clicked so fast.
Facts!
Minus the generic LS swap
@@MrTuttleboy Because it would be so much better with a 180hp straight 4.

Mario is getting pulled over in at least three states befor he gets back home
If they can catch him😂😂
Yoooo munk how have you been? How’s the injury? All through that right?
Minimum
@@MikeJones-rg4vz Correction.....if he lets them catch him.
@@THESLlCK hey how's it been!
Doing okay. Finally back to work after like 14 months or somthing. Thanks for asking
The guy showing that he in fact is a qualified audi driver by putting that thing on the limiter cold
Not going to last long.
As an Audi driver I don’t claim him
Free car baby
wasnt cold
@@calebvenable3464 how do you know?
"315s all around"
Vin-"What you running up front?"
Love it
This is one of my all time favorite builds.
Glad to see a return shredder
This was my favorite car in the ancient Hoonigan times!
Few things:
1) being in the UK that’s a Mitsubishi Starion to me, made famous by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, getting one for less than £1500.
2) that thing sounds absolutely GORGEOUS!! What a noise!
3) John has engineered the shit out of it, appreciate that, what a legend!
They had those here in the states also.
I remember this car because even Kikawa was into it hahaha!
90's kid here. Oh dem memories, dey be comin back yall
Now where's that 3000gt, Eclipse/Talon, Dodge Daytona, or the King: Geo Storm GSI?!
Jon just walks up and gives John a hug like "DAD'S HOME FROM WORK, YAAAAY!"
I've always liked how the lines on this Chrysler conquest flow for it being in it's age of time
80's boxiness in the best way. Pop ups don't look like every other car either.
@@richardlont44801980s dtm cars are insane
This is one of my favorite builds I have seen on the channel. WE NEED TO SEE THIS CAR ON THAT VERSUS THIS LIKE YESTERDAY!?!?!

I remember this car from an earlier episode… still an awesome car
It was on daily transmission like 2 years ago. I remember that too
It was the car that introduced me to Hoonigan. Still one of my favorite cars that they've ever had
So glad to see this beast back. I think this conquest will be one of my fav builds you guys have featured
John is the reason I went to college for mechanical engineering. And the reason I look for a conquest monthly.
Can probably import one for cheap from a different country. Anywhere outside of the us they're called a Mitsubishi starion
He truly built that car and it’s sick
OG's knew this car when we saw the thumbnail
this dude is who made me fall in love with starions and conquests however long ago homie first showed up on hoonigan

This will forever be my favorite build OAT

One of the single coolest cars I've ever seen
Conquest and 2nd Gen Celica/Supra were some of my favorite sport type cars back in the day. The hard lines were 🔥🔥🔥👊🏼
My fav car growing up. Couldn't believe I saw this. Unreal. Great job guys!
The presence of mind to shred like he did in this grip car almost made me sploodge
Still can’t believe that I won this amazing car! The guys are absolutely awesome and I will definitely be returning to hangout with them again!

so basically yall are just butt hurt? Money talks. A dealership is gonna take 70k cash on top of a 2k deposit anyday. and so would I.

This car deserves a video on Larry Chen's channel, 120%. It's so dope
This was one of my favorite builds when it was originally featured and still is to this day.
I always wanted a conquest when I was a kid. Not quite sure why since I’m a Chevy guy, but this is the baddest conquest on the planet.
Formal request to bring back the super hype "thats a wrap" video endings :)
That conquest is epic, the aero is next level
John knew this was a tight course and he drove that thing pretty well!
Always liked the lines and angles of the conquest.
I've seen this car at Optima Challenge Las Vegas and it was hauling kicking butt. Love the build.
Can’t wait for the lowrider build 👀
Best sounding LS3 I've heard
Awesome car! I love the older body styles with the crispy edges.
Literally my dream car! Can't wait to get a Quest
Nissans suck.......
@@REAPER3fitty Conquests are made by Chrysler.
Part of the DSM market, Like my Eclipse Gs-T.

I remember seen this cruising Woodward in the day. Nice to
See it’s still around!
Never heard of this car before, it’s sick, reminds me of an old school Nissan
this is the third time watching this car on three different channels but still dope ride
As long as it has a V8 and it makes a lot of noise and smoke... Jon is there and always hyped as fuck🤣
Very well built damn
Man I had an 87 Chrysler Conquest TSI, 87 Mitsubishi Starion TSI and a 1988 Starion. Loved those cars, These cost more than a new corvette in the 80's!!
Maaaan this thing is super badass!! That thing is a ripper!!!!
Big respect for straight up redlining his audi also that chevy is soooo good
The guy that’s talking about his car looks super enthusiastic
This is making me think I need to bring the Road Race F150 by when I'm in Fontana the first weekend of December.
Such a beast of a car, incredible build!
I've always been a huge fan of this car since it was previously featured and the owner made most of the car by hand. So sick
So much grip, i love this thing!
ITS BACK!!! ive been waiting to hear from thios thing, massive inspiration for me
I have a buddy with a Mitsubishi Starion that's been sitting for the past 15 years, and a spare LS1 sitting in my garage. Maybe this video will be some inspiration for him....
This car is definitely on my bucket list!
That is a sweet build
My favorite car ever. I love this conquest.
Ayoo the return of a legendary tire shredder
Congrats Mario
The long sleeves are great lookin'
Cool little race car
It's OK I still have the molds🏁
Wow I have been following y’all for a long time 😂
OMG my favorite car ever to be featured on the channel is finally back! This car is so fucking sick!
Love seeing the evolution of this car!!!
This is the car that made me buy a Conquest. I highly regret that decision but John is still legendary lol
Happy to see that Conquest back! That beast always puts a smile on my face! 😁
Dude I love his lego instructions shirt
That widebody looks sick
The R33 GTR is a super underrated ass car when it comes to GTR'S straight up and will always be my fav
“Your taps getting big Viny”
