    I still own my 88 Conquest TSI. I bought it in 1996. I rebuilt the engine with forged pistons. A Schneider cam and spec clutch. 18 G turbo and a Marnel head. Chrome hard pipes and a blow off valve. The car is still quick on the street and turns heads. Fun car to drive.

    1:08 Mitsubishi was fully 2 years behind the Nissan 910 Bluebird SSS Turbo sedan and Coupe, which had proper multi point EFI and was turbo charged in 1980.
    This same Z18ET engine was then installed in the S110 Silva as well in 1982. It was a genuine Coupe contender against to Station, with similar power and much less weight.
    The Station engine had center point fuel injection - basically a rich man's carburettor, the extra 200cc allowed it to make 8kw more power.

      TBI just a slightly better carb? I would not say that, but maybe that is because I was around Chevy trucks often.
      The V8 Chevy trucks got a TBI engine in 1987. It was a huge improvement over the smog carb found in earlier Chevy trucks.
      You ever deal with a carb that is connected with an O2 sensor? TBI is a massive improvement over that.

    My cousin had a conquest tsi and we would embarrass mustang 5.0’s back in the day. I couldn’t believe how fast that car was for its time and displacement. One of my favorite cars of all time

      I had a Japanese professor who said he had a hard time when someone first talked about appealing something because he thought they were a magician or something and were going to appear out of thin air.

    I've never heard of this car until Jeremy Clarkson bought one for Top Gear Challange. Nice alternative to Supra.

    My brother once owned a Starion that was prior registered to Sylvester Stallone; it was pretty to see that.

    We called the Star I on. They were all over the junkyards in the 90's the tbi 2.6 turbo wasn't great compared with the 5mge in the supra. They looked great with huge fenders.

    Question, is there direct comparison on Mitsubishi Starion and Toyota Trueno?

    Such a great era for Japanese cars. I never owned one but got to drive a few. Definitely a fun car. I wish Japanese would bring back some of the 80’s styling in a more modern way.

    My understanding why the Starion had rear ABS was because it was known to swap ends like the old 911 did under trail braking and instead of redesigning the rear suspension, ABS was their answer.

    WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ?? Except early days of Turbos, so you didn't shut off the engine UNTIL you gave the turbo a few minutes to spin down & cool off. Great looks, package, layout, features, options, & engine sizes. Love the wide track years.

    The Starion was not just underrated and underappreciated in its era, even today you would be hard pressed to find a modern japanese car enthusiats that recognizes it much less knows anything about them.

    I used to look down on these as a wannabe 944. (Actually I've NEVER seen a Starion, ever, having only seen Conquests.) Then I took the time to learn about them and found them to be just as cool as a similar vintage Supra or early Z car. (Pre-ZX.) Now to find a nice unmolested one is a bit more difficult than it was in the early 90's! (Even though I was prejudiced against them in the day, I could still admit that the Dodge Conquest in the metallic blue looked really good. The color I'd want mine to be.)
