I had forgotten all about these cars but I always thought they were pretty cool looking,. I remember my best friends sister got a used one I think in the early 90s. Another kind of car that has come to mind that I forgot about but remember seeing a few of them back then I think but definitely remember seeing them in magazine ads was the Isuzu impulse in the mid 80s. The song is High On You by Survivor which is of course better known for Eye of the Tiger.
You got the song =) I’ll look for a impulse I never heard of that car going to do more weird 80s cars in the future Chrysler laser looks interesting as well
@@What.its.like.😃, oh yeah the '80s, great time for music!The impulse was a different looking car, wedge shaped I guess you'd say. It's wild that you mentioned the Laser, because there is a print ad of it in the same copy of the magazine that has the Impulse ad in it ! The the ad for the Laser is the advertisement introducing it in its first model year. I used to collect old magazines for the print ads in them. I have some vintage video ads of the laser also, great looking cars 😎, I never drove one, but my sister did get a new Dodge Daytona for graduation, which I enjoyed driving sometimes too.
I was the Mitsu tech in the local C-P store when these were new cars. The steering wheel-mounted stereo controls and the electronic A.C. are part of the technica package. The digital gauge cluster is missing tho. Now..... 1. The automatic seatbelts are on inertia reels inside the center console to lock the belts in the event of a crash. The EMERGENCY RELEASE levers unlock the inertia reels so the occupants can escape if the car is at an angle/upside-down and the shoulder belts are jammed. 2. The defrost button to the left of the steering column is the rear defrost. 3. A/INT WIPE CANCEL to the left of the column allows the front wipe to cycle continuously, giving a 3rd wiper speed. 4. The lighting buttons to the right of the cluster. a. Lower button - hazard lights as you mentioned. b. Center button - front fog lights. c. Upper button - raises the headlamp pods w/o the lights being on. Useful for cleaning the lights or to keep thrm from freezing down during bad weather. 5. Thr amp gauge in the cluster is a battery volts gauge. 1984-86 IIRC are ammeters instead of volts gauges. 6. The wiper switch on the right of the dash is the rear wipe control. 7. Steering wheel-mounted radio controls were first available on Conquest/Starion in '87 in the U.S. market. Pontiac had them first on the '86 6000STE. The Mitsu design was way more advanced tho.
Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing all the insight of this car. I really appreciate it I couldn’t find a dash board map anywhere that explained things and the own just said lights.. thank you
@@What.its.like. you're most welcome. The 1984-85 were ampmeters instead of voltmeters and I think '86 was also. 1987-89 used voltmeters in the gauge cluster. On the radio controls, '86 JDM Starions may have gotten the steering wheel controls while the U.S. had to wait to '87. The Mitsu system used infra-red light pulses to send the radio request to the multi-function switch receivers then on to the stereo. Pontiac used tiny slip rings on the back of the steering wheel and carbon brushes
The automatic climate control and audio controls were standard on all cars, at least from 86.5 onward. Technica was a narrow body with digital dash and retro future design
My friend bought a Conquest Tsi new in 1988. That same year he loaned it to his 17 year old neighbor boy for his prom. The kid was messing around in front of the highschool where the prom was being held and accidently drove it straight through the side of the school, going thru a brick wall and landing half in half out. The car was totaled but he bought it from insurance for nothing and fixed it himself being a body man. That's how his 1 owner Conquest has a salvage title despite him never wrecking it. lol
I had an 87 conquest back in the day. And the lights were stuck in the up position, and when I hit the light button, only one would go down. So I was winking at girls at the stop lights! Loved it! Wish I never got rid of it... For a non running Chevy 350 engine which I was told that it was a good running engine 😢
How did you like yours I want to drive one so bad I got to drive a Porsche 944 last year in this car reminds me of a lot of that car but this car on paper will destroy the Porsche and it was a whole lot cheaper
I really wanna drive one and see what that’s like I just recently drove a Porsche 944 and this accelerates just as fast as that I’m just interested to see driving dynamics between those two cars which one was better.. The Porsche is totally dead under 4000 RPM.. i’m just really curious to see if that’s what the Mitsubishi is like or if it makes power everywhere
They are beautiful cars and when they were running around in the 80's & 90's there wasn't much that could touch them, they were still pretty rare when they were being sold new. Some of the have these Turbo script seatbelts that are the sickest seatbelts ever put in a car, i love them.
This is a car that I’ve always wanted to drive I got to drive a Porsche 940 last year and this car is very similar to that car on paper anyway but I think in reality this car will walk all over the Porsche for half the price it’s probably cheaper than half probably a fraction of the price would be correct because from what I found these things are really fast here to 60 in five seconds or roundabout that I don’t think the 940 can go that fast the 940 is pretty much dead unless you’re at 5000 RPM it turns into a whole different car.. once you’re high in the rev range… If you’ve ever driven a Honda with VTEC it’s pretty much the same thing
Thanks for another fine review! Suggestion for another - Porsche 914. If my 6'3" college roommate could fit in one, you could! And, of course, would also recommend VW Rabbit, Saturn Sky and of course Aston Martin DB5.
Hey Jay, way back in the eighties, I had a Mitsubishi Station turbo with a five speed manual. It was fast & it was so much fun to drive!!! I even had the personal license plate RADSTAR!!! I loved the sears too, I bought it new in 84 & in 88 I traded it in for my new Lincoln Mark Vll. Thanks for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍👍🙂
Awesome story thank you so much for sharing =) I never knew this car existed and now I sort of want one lol but buying one now would be a bit of a gamble because most were probably driven hard and put away wet
Mitsubishi built the imported cars for Chrysler from the Dodge Colt-on. The car was designed to compete with the Isuzu Impulse. Chrysler products used Mitsubishi engines to supplant the base domestic 2.2L 4cly. in it's other cars. Chrysler and Mitsubishi built an assembly plant to build the U.S. versions of the Mitsubishi cars. They called it Diamond Star. One of the real monster cars started life out as the Mitsubishi Eclipse. U.S. versions were the Charger-influenced Dodge Stealth, also sold by Plymouth and Eagle brands. They had everything from the naturally aspirated 3L V6 up to the DOHC turbocharged V6 and was available with AWD. You might review one of these.
I would love to get into some weird and quirky 80s cars or just weird cars in general that’s what I pioneered this channel to be is there’s way more Classic Cars outside Corvette mustang circles not saying that those cars aren’t cool just saying there’s so much more out there than those cars.. Just wanted to add I always appreciate your input because you’ve been one of the ones that has been with this channel since the very beginning I love seeing your feedback it really means a lot =) I love seeing everyone’s feedback but especially the people that have been there since the beginning such as yourself
I almost bought an 87 Conquest TSi. They looked awesome in red. I even thought of a name & lic plate for it, Tessi. Typical Japanese styling. Yes, one of the first with stereo controls on the wheel that I recall. Definitely fun to drive, but a good bit of turbo lag. I ended up with a 87 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z. I later ended up with a 91 Mitsubishi 300GT VR-4, its successor.
My dad had a Dodge Daytona Shelby Z that was red with a 5spd. He had nothing but issues with his and eventually the engine went out of it. Didn't have many miles on it either.. Then he eventually bought a 88 conquest. It was blue with a 5spd. It too had issues but he fixed it up for the most part and drove it for awhile before eventually selling it
The levers on the center console that said pull in case of emergency, are for the automatic shoulder restraint. In a crash, the electric motor that moves the belt could fail, pulling the lever releases the belt from the seat end, not the roof allowing a rescue. That type of belt was simply horrible, I owned a Ford that had them.
From what I’ve read the automated seat belts were a product of the carter admin.. not getting into politics just saying that’s where they came from. I owned a mercury tracer with those I believe it was a long time ago and wasn’t a huge fan of that car.. that car was very eh Pontiac sunfire worst car I even owned
I thought I recognised the car. We had this Starion model released in Australia at the time. Japan drives on the left, as does Australia, so the vehicles do not need any major changes to be sold here.
That’s one thing I would really want to drive is a right hand drive car question for you the shift pattern is the shift pattern the same or is it flipped
@@PS-js9oh I don't know what a quigley is. I have seen the Coriolis effect in action. It does differ. In fact, CRT screens need to be configured differently for the southern polar hemisphere. What am I welcome too, exactly?
The small gauge between the speedo and tach is the turbo boost gauge. The leather looks to be in remarkable shape. I’m not so sure that price is correct. The partnership with Mitsubishi really helped out both companies.
Thank you so much for that correction I just watch the back and I slap the top of my head and said that the turbo boost gauge not vacuum gauge you idiot, I said to myself.. i’m dyslexic sometimes I get things backwards at least I try =D
One day I would love to compare TSI to a Porsche 944 I think that would be awesome Porsche 944 is very and it’s kinda dead unless it’s above 3000 I never got to drive a Mitsubishi Starion or Chrysler TSI I really want to though cause I’m paper they look amazing
I believe that this car was one of the cars that were assembled in Bloomington/Normal Illinois in the 1980s when Chrysler and Mitsubishi had the joint venture. Since then the startup company Rivian has taken over the plant to build electric cars and trucks.
@@What.its.like. Your comments about the Chrysler LHS . I have not seen any of those in years. The Dodge Intrepid or the Chrysler Concord either. The Dwight Yoakam song “1000 Miles From Nowhere “ comes to mind. As you mentioned, all three of them were very common in the 1990s but have all disappeared since then.
When I was in highschool and drove to school 2005-2007 late 80s Ltd mercury grand marquis and the tow cars were common everyone in their mom had a mid90s Buick LeSabre but it was green.. those four car varieties were everywhere and now they’re nowhere to be found oh yeah and the late 80s ford econoline vans.. believe it or not I’ve seen quite a few Astro vans need to review one
Speaking of Rivian pickups perhaps a video on one of them would be nice. I know that they are a contemporary vehicle but they are not as common as Chevy, Ford or dodge trucks.
@@What.its.like. It seems that green was the common color for the Dodge Intrepid, the Chrysler Concord and LHS cars. All the ones I ever remember seeing were that bluish green color.
When I was in the navy stationed in Morocco I needed to get a military driver license. The vehicle I had to take my drivers test was a Dodge A100 . I had never seen or driven one before. As a result the first time I took the test, I failed because I wasn’t used to driving such a weird thing. The guy who gave me the test said,”Driving one was just like driving a car.” I told him that I never drove a car where the steering column is vertical. So I had to practice and test again later. The second time I was given a Chevy pickup and that was much easier to drive.
Mitsubishi had some really good product in the 80's 90's until recalls nearly sent them broke in the 2000's.Not sure Detroit could have built a car like this ..they were still holding onto bench seats and minimal instruments, and thought all their customers wanted was to point a lazy V8 with a long hood somewhere.
@@What.its.like. I'm in Australia and it was a popular alternative to the Mazda RX7 at the time..The Mitsubishi GT3000 probably made more of a splash though.
I found a figure saying that the Mitsubishi Starion de produce somewhere around 10,000 units between 1984 and 1989 and the Chrysler conquest TSI they made even fewer of them.. they are really underrated in my opinion I got to drive a Porsche 944 earlier this year and that car and this car looked very similar but I think that the Mitsubishi would run circles around the Porsche.. maybe next year I’ll have the opportunity to compare the two
I would love to do an RX seven one day I would love to compare the two cars I just never seen either of the two cars in the same spot at the same time thank you so much for that correction too I kind of stopped the video I just was talking from the top of my head it’s been a long time since I saw that episode by features of this car definitely could be seen on either car The song was high on you by Survivor
Bro this is the 2nd time I'm commenting for basically the same reason, you have no business reviewing cars, that so called "looks like a vacuum gauge's is a BOOST Gauge for the Turbo, and the buttons... "They appear to be for more lights", those are Fog lights and running lights, bro how are you gonna review cars and not know what the Fog Light icon looks like or the Turbo Boost icon, and there were so many other little things that you don't even know what they are and you skip over so many other things. Bro you're obviously doing ok with your channel reviewing cars, Could you please start to research the car you're going to review before you film, and please for the love of the CAR GODS would you please learn the Industry Standard Icons for all the Gauge's, Lights, and all the other accessories. Seriously there's an International Industry Standard for all the Icons. Dude watching your car reviews is like finger nails on a chalk board. And another thing do you know how lucky you are to get to review some of the cars you review. This one in Particular the Conquest is a Jewel from the 80's and so many were sent to the Crushers, back 30 years ago, before Fast and Furious made late 80's early 90's Cars with 4 cylinder turbos popular, people didn't see the Beauty in these cars, its a real shame and you get to sit in them, pick them apart look under the hood play with all the gadgets, sometimes drive them. And with all that, so many real car lovers would die to do what you do,and your lack of knowledge and skipping things like not giving the Boost gauge more camera time and more explanation is like a Slap in the face to all us Real Car Guys.
Once again, I’m happy I am not your wife you seem like the type of person that would be impossible to please, with that said, did you notice the date when it was posted September 2022 almost 2 years ago.. I do tons of research lots of conflicting information with cars from the 80s that’s why I don’t deal with cars in the 80s.. this channel is mostly cars from the 20’s 30’s 40’s 50’s 60’s some 70’s people don’t watch the 80s cars on here so I’m not going to go out of my way to do more 80s cars I encourage you to watch a new episode watch the 1958 Packard Hawk episode.. posted just a few days ago. I bet you find that everything has drastically improved. Is this channel perfect no, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it is definitely 100 times better than it was almost 2 years ago..

How does it run and drive the song is how I felt when I saw this car I never knew about this car until a few months ago
I remember these! Nice looking indeed.
One of my top 5 dream cars! Those levers between the seats are to manually release the automatic seatbelts in case of emergency I believe.
I want to compare one the Porsche 940 one day
Great car, my 80s dream car. Band, Survivor (better known for eye of the tiger, Rocky).

I found a figure saying that the Mitsubishi Starion de produce somewhere around 10,000 units between 1984 and 1989 and the Chrysler conquest TSI they made even fewer of them.. they are really underrated in my opinion I got to drive a Porsche 944 earlier this year and that car and this car looked very similar but I think that the Mitsubishi would run circles around the Porsche.. maybe next year I’ll have the opportunity to compare the two
The "Technica" package was the fancy tech, less sporty version. Much more rare.
missing lower front air dam ground effects though.
Looks like the Mitsubishi Starion
That’s because it is a Mitsubishi Starion branded as a Chrysler
They are the release for the seat belt
awesome =)
Lift for emergency exit it to release the seatbelts.

Rx7?
I would love to do an RX seven one day I would love to compare the two cars I just never seen either of the two cars in the same spot at the same time thank you so much for that correction too I kind of stopped the video I just was talking from the top of my head it’s been a long time since I saw that episode by features of this car definitely could be seen on either car
The song was high on you by Survivor
Bro this is the 2nd time I'm commenting for basically the same reason, you have no business reviewing cars, that so called "looks like a vacuum gauge's is a BOOST Gauge for the Turbo, and the buttons... "They appear to be for more lights", those are Fog lights and running lights, bro how are you gonna review cars and not know what the Fog Light icon looks like or the Turbo Boost icon, and there were so many other little things that you don't even know what they are and you skip over so many other things. Bro you're obviously doing ok with your channel reviewing cars, Could you please start to research the car you're going to review before you film, and please for the love of the CAR GODS would you please learn the Industry Standard Icons for all the Gauge's, Lights, and all the other accessories. Seriously there's an International Industry Standard for all the Icons. Dude watching your car reviews is like finger nails on a chalk board. And another thing do you know how lucky you are to get to review some of the cars you review. This one in Particular the Conquest is a Jewel from the 80's and so many were sent to the Crushers, back 30 years ago, before Fast and Furious made late 80's early 90's Cars with 4 cylinder turbos popular, people didn't see the Beauty in these cars, its a real shame and you get to sit in them, pick them apart look under the hood play with all the gadgets, sometimes drive them. And with all that, so many real car lovers would die to do what you do,and your lack of knowledge and skipping things like not giving the Boost gauge more camera time and more explanation is like a Slap in the face to all us Real Car Guys.
Once again, I’m happy I am not your wife you seem like the type of person that would be impossible to please, with that said, did you notice the date when it was posted September 2022 almost 2 years ago.. I do tons of research lots of conflicting information with cars from the 80s that’s why I don’t deal with cars in the 80s.. this channel is mostly cars from the 20’s 30’s 40’s 50’s 60’s some 70’s people don’t watch the 80s cars on here so I’m not going to go out of my way to do more 80s cars
I encourage you to watch a new episode watch the 1958 Packard Hawk episode.. posted just a few days ago. I bet you find that everything has drastically improved. Is this channel perfect no, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it is definitely 100 times better than it was almost 2 years ago..
