neonkiller Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Well after a long time Debating I am really stuck on building a Conquest. Motor is still up in the air but it will most likely be a LSX and be used mostly for drifting and track use. I'm already on StarQuestclub.com and wondering where else I could get info on these cars. I have not looked to deeply but have been looking for a good roller to get my plans off the ground. Dont plan on finishing the car till mid summer next year. Body/Interior will be first. If you dont know what a starion looks like you are missing out cause they look hot and with some HP they are a blast to drive. http://jalopnik.com/assets/images/gallery/12/2007/06/medium_557503154_039af41673_o.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/WidebodyStarion.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/6/web/810000-810999/810856_8_full.jpg Any Info would be helpfull. And if you could find me a black or white rolling chassis I'd love you forever;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't know if they would be that great for drifting, but they sure are hott... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Was this the seven's motor? ...you still got the seven? It "is" the 7's motor. And yes, I moved it aroudn the driveway last night. I dont think the 2.4 is right for what I like to do- 200+mph big RPM highway pulls, but would be PERFECT for a 50 trim'd drift car....

NXfedRam Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 They are defenitley fun cars. Good luck with the build! Also.....black and lsx powered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Mine was fail. Hated it. Nice chassis, though. Not much out there if you stick with the g54b. Too much fabricating. If you need to know anything, pm me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 This is a good time, I have 2 red conquest tsi sitting at my grandma's house that I bought 5 years ago , one has a good body with no motor, and is red and one is red with a motor with a blown headgasket but still should run. someone stole 2 of the rims off of one, but there should still be a full set between both the cars. I will sell both of them cheap for what i paid for them. one is an 86 and one is an 88 or 89 its been so long I do not even remember. I bought both off this guy in springfield that use to work with my uncle he owned the cars brand new, one was his one was his wifes, they have been sitting, but still in really good shape, with work aleast one of these cars really deserve to be back on the road tearing it up.

boosted98gst Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 If you are interested at all, I will go drive the 30 miles right now take pic's with my cell phone and text them to you, let me know I am bored off from work. I bought these cars to one day have a XXX powered conquest but I just do not make the funds to do so. That would be awsome to see these cars go to someone that can put the money into them and be on the road again. Like I said they need work, but one has a solid body and was garage kept and never seen snow, they might be ruff right now sitting outside, but I showed a guy a few months back that wanted to buy one and he was impressed with the shape of them. I will sell them fair price and you could prolly part the spare parts and make your money back, i just never wanted to tear apart the cars and see them stripped. I will even pay to have them towed to my parents in marysville that way they are much closer to columbus. I just checked the car inthe link the red one in portsmith, my car is prolly still cleaner then that. with black leather in both and 5 speed, both have lsd and trannys still in the car, Shit the other one could prolly still drive back to columbus.

81mercury Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 if your going to swap the motor you might as well swap the rear end too and have no worrys...im sure a 9 inch or even an 8.8 can probably be made to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 You could always strip both cars down, keep the parts you need, sell all the stuff you do not and paint,build the car you want......GEEEEZ I wish I had endless income.

Id take 1200 for both of them, I paid 2k for both of them but they have been sitting , I feel thats a decent price for the cars. Its almost dark now so I can tomorrow. The guy a few months ago offered me 1500 which I should of taken but at the time I still wanted to keep them. Right now they are doing no one any good. so i figured in the right hands i will be happy with them gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
