my gf passed her driving test on friday. i was using her micra to get to work in as my cars are in bits, the micra bored me so i bought a civic for her and scrapped the micra, added some rims and full service cambelt etc etc... before i know it the thing has cost me about a grand. now i realise i got to hand it over as i chucked her car away so it got me thinking im gonna need to buy something else to use.... my retarded mind got all excited about this and thought it looks like its time for another ma61 at last!!!!!! i want a good one this time though but cant seem to find one in awesome condition for not a lot of dolla....
wait....
erm...
oh crap i just bought a mitsi starion on ebay lolololollololololol lol lol oops.
anyone got any thoughts on starions? they look cool. narrow body which i quite like but got the wide body rims on it....

One word- awesome! when are you picking her up?!
So, what engine has it got in it, and how long will it stay standard for?

lols thurs night i think. got to rape the cash point 4 times. ouchy...
its got lowering springs on already i think, and a stainless zorst (ugly big jap can thing) i will try and leave it at that for a bit. got other cars to build first.
i might hit it with a set of spacers though as the widebody rims dont look that wide on it for some reason. need a touch of poke...
excited as fuck, a rwd retro for shifty yay!!!! been too long in fwd shinanigans.

:oThat's lush, also i think it has the same4g63 bottom end as in early evo's i do believe, so twin cam head would work on there,  could be quite a weapon too! Yeah, went to pod a while ago, and there was a guy in a white, fucked up widebody2.6 , and he beasted the shit outta it all day, came out in my car, and said its pretty similar driving wise as the supra. have to read the ebay link a bit more, and have a perve at your uber macho starion  |

yeah man its full of potential. kinda like it better than the widebody for some reason. bit like the 83 L type supra on ebay is looking good to me right now even though i love the P type arches... i think my taste is getting more mature haha, just needs arch rolling wide rims and slammage.
tuning wise i havent seen much done to these 2.0 engines. seems basic tune then swap it for something else when you want more? will have to look into it down the line.

it is yeah, weird little one laying flat in the front bumper. need new springs badly, the fronts look like they are off a tank, there is literally no give in them at all, rock hard suspension coupled with slack steering box makes it interesting to drive...

i quite like the narrow body, no plans for this one yet except sorting the issues out for daily use.
maybe after the other cars are built i might fiddle.

I do like the old Starions, like the Celica Supra they are getting very few and far between, so the price can old end up going up over the next few years.
Well that's what I'm hoping for anyway ;D
