Patrick Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I bought a new car because a.) my parents hated the Omni GLHt. b.) I didn't like its ride and its issues. So I sold it, made a profit and got some new rims for the RX-7 (buyer included them). My mom wanted me to get a nice DD, so I browsed craigslist for a while and found a car I've wanted for a while, a Starion/Conquest. My new car is a 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R. Intercooled 2.6L Turbo, G54B engine, RWD, 5speed, the whole bit. I'm the third owner and it has 67,000 original miles. The previous owner was beaten to death, and his wife drove it to the funeral and it quit...at the burial site. Cursed? I get it home, it won't start, still won't. I think it's a problem in either the dist, ignitor/knock sensor, or fuel system. Pics will follow when I get home from work, or you might see it out tonight at Quaker if I can get it to run.

Patrick Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I would put up the CL pictures, but they have a hideous wing. It was removed. And the ad was taken down. It feels like a MK3 Supra inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt sound like such a good start for a dependable daily. Post up some pics and lets see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 It wont be a daily, its his project. The RX-7 is his daily (for now). It cant be a daily, especially as it doesn't run yet. There will definitely be some work done...lots of work...before it could be considered for a daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 WTF?!? Yeah...I said that too. Pictures in the next few, I'm heading out to work on it. It's definitely the fuel system that's fing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
