They weren't a bad car either. Memory says they didn't have along run Aust or NZ, disappeared very quickly once off the new car market.

It was a collab between Chrysler and Mitsu. It’s a Conquest here. They did the same later with the Eagle and Eclipse.

Didn't they have the turbo direct into the inlet, no intercooler?

The Electric Power Steering you refer to is the ABS Unit & only just the rear Brakes, the power steering pump was on the passenger side low down on the block. We have 5 of them in our Stable

[@jefffixesit60]

I worked as an alignment and chassis mechanic through the 1980's. The Station/Conquest was among my top 3 favorite cars to drive: Porsche 914 and 1st gen Toyota MR2 were the other 2. All 3 had a handling quality I called "point and shoot driveability". Left hand at 11o'clock on the steering wheel with index finger pointing at the road ahead, right hand on the shift knob (manual transmission, of course), right foot pinning the throttle to the floor. Wherever you pointed is where those cars went. Thanks for bringing this to us. Btw, the ads at the time all pronounced the Mitsubishi version as "Star-eon", not "Stair-eon". Thanks again to you and Mrs Wizard for making these videos, she makes you look marvelous!

[@marknelson9848]

I have owned three of these over the years. Yellow-89, white and red 87's. One thing I learned on them, they have 2-different sized fuel injectors and you will normally be required to replace head gasket after a re-decking. Outstanding cars otherwise. Oh and the TSI's rear and front tires....don't rotate different sizes. Learned that in '89 when leaving tire shop. Yep they learned something new too.

"Made by Chrysler" that's a bold statement on a re-badged Mitsubishi :)

My “cool” uncle drove one of these in the late-80’s. As kids that were ~10 years old, me and my sister thought this car made him that much cooler. His interior always seemed to be coated in an entire bottle of Armor All because that black leather shined like crazy. We also appreciated when he didn’t have a girlfriend and threw us in there and gave us a ride to the skating rink on a Saturday night. Now that was livin!

[@DugEphresh]

This car in ELECTRIC BLUE is just stunning!

[@michaelbaka4777]

Thanks for showing a car you don't see anymore, and in red, to boot! These aren't around because young guys would rod the daylights out of them! They'd either blow up the engine/turbo/trans or wad it into a light pole. I knew two best friends; when these came out, one got the Mitsu. About 3 days later, Hector got the Chrysler. They raced those things any and every chance they got. The Mitsu lasted about 2 weeks but the Chrysler went on for almost a year. The Mitsu slid into a fire plug. They were VERY sharp and quick lil cars, though!

[@sataneatcheese6243]

I like how your channel is the result of your business rather than the other way around. Lets your channel have a more natural feel to it.

[@te71se]

That "electric power steering" is actually the ABS pump. The power steering pump is at the bottom of the engine at the front where you would usually expect a PS pump.

[@vdns76b]

I was wondering about that, I thought I remembered a normal pump on mine, but the reservoir was separate.

[@tsherwoodrzero]

Correct. Placing it opposite the Brake Master Cylinder allows for easy mirroring between Right and Left Hand Drive. FD Mazda RX-7s are the same way.

[@gazzafloss]

What!!!!, Wizard got it wrong??

[@electi0neering]

It looked very much brake related, I’m glad I’m not crazy

[@davidmckoyP0300]

As te71se said, not a power steering pump. I bypassed the abs pump on mine when I had it.

You know you're old when a car that was your girlfriend's from decades ago is the subject of some retro nostalgia.

[@absolutelynonameslef]

Looks just like the red 87 TSi I had in high school! That one unfortunately got t-boned and totaled so I bought a black 89 TSi a few years later. One of the unique characteristics that sticks in my mind is the smell of the leather. Loved those cars.

[@batman1989keaton]

Its missing the front Airdam that covers the intercooler. I have an 87 Starion just like it.

[@joshriver75]

I used to have way back. I was always perplexed how many of these had missing airdams. I never had an issue with mine and never really identified any weak points of the design.

My first car! In Sweden it was sold as a Mitsubishi Starion I bought it about 23 years ago. Had it for a year it was the coolest car ever.

I still can't believe how Bob regularly finds such awesome cars. Hope to see this one in person soon!

[@WaterDR-tw8re]

I certainly remember these as a kid. Loved them. They weren’t cheap per se, and never got the recognition they deserved. Impossible to find and frankly by today’s standards, not fast. They got replaced by the Dodge Daytona and then later the Eclipse. It was always the same....jointly sold and badged by Chrysler/Misubishi

[@criswireless1976]

It's amazing what a built motor and a good size turbo as well as a bigger intercooler, bigger injectors does to these cars.. The fact that they're about 2800 lbs gives them a pretty good power to weight ratio.

[@susiejeansonne9552]

Thanks Mr. Wizard for showing us the Conquest. Brings back good and bad memories from yesterdays. I saved up and bought an 88 in 1990 That was the good part... The bad was owning it for two days only. Parents forced me bring it back to the dealership after seeing how sporty it looked as well as having a turbo.... No accidents or tickets didn't seem to matter ...it was chevy cavalier or go on foot for me.... Sadly, life happened and wasn't able buy another in the intervening years.

[@RandomGuyDan]

Still drove it home, then fixed it in my driveway.

Its actually from the star of orion shortened, its because its the first diamond star motors vehicle. I'm from by bloomington illinois, also why the eclipse has its name because of it relativity to stars

Thanks for the video on the Conquest, Wizard! I absolutely love these and the Starions. It's a shame that the American market only got the G54B engines at top trim. The Japanese and European markets got the legendary G63B/4G63 engine in their cars. We got the 4G63 here in America starting in 1989 with the Galant VR-4 and a year later with the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser thanks to the Diamond Star Motors partnership. The DSMs proved to be better cars here in America, and have a big enthusiast community to this day. We absolutely love all of our 80's and 90's Mitsubishis, and not many cars look cooler than the Starion/Conquest!

Ya that was the rear ABS module that they pointed out as the electric power steering lol. The pump is mounted down low on the engine.

Miss this car. I saw a few when younger, my stepdad loved this car . Which lead to a 90 Eagle talon TSI being bought. And they still have it little rough , no rust just old paint and a non-working turbo. And over 200k miles on it !!

[@elboxoluncho]

I also have a customer with one of these. Younger guy. Drives the hell out of his. Not afraid to dump money into it if needed though. I always enjoy seeing it in a bay. Nice to see another one.

It's missing the front air dam. I know, I had a black one.

[@leonthompson8988]

You need the front spoiler/air dam to keep the front end on the ground when you start pushing it over 120mph

[@mikepotter3251]

@@leonthompson8988 You're right. I took mine up to 125 and had a whole lot of pedal left

A Forgotten Japanese Sport Car. Glad to see one on your channel. Still one of my DREAM cars to own. So rare though.

@@thebigguy8306 We do actually.. There is a place in Texas that deals with overseas cars.. We have one here in California called Toprank International. There are quite a few! I believe there's one in Florida.

These and the late 80s Dodge Daytonas I always thought were really good looking cars. You don't see any nice Daytonas anymore either.

My dad had a Chrysler Laser and it was the first production year.

@@BCaldwell - Nope, because it was made in the 1980's. The Plymouth Laser and had no idea it existed was made in the 90's.

Don't forget the late 80's inline 6 Toyota Supras

I was absolutely obsessed with that car as a kid, the Mitsubishi as well and the VW Corrado and Scirocco...hell I just love all cars from every year.

One of the if not the first Starion sold in the L.A. market got hit leaving the dealership. It sat for 6 months until parts showed up.

[@sunnohh]

Theres a couple starions and one of the chryslers in my town, probably been 4 years since I have seen any of them though

[@fatfreddyscoat7564]

“Chrysler Conquest” my ass. Starion Turbo sounds way cooler.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

My parents bought the first Mitsubishi Starion in my town when I was 12 yrs old The year was 1983 and was red like this one. It was in our family for YEARS until a red light runner took it out in the early 2000s. It was so freakin cool Had turbo decals down both sides. Nice find euro Fred!

These and the Isuzu Piazza iconic Japanese 80s design that fly under the radar... nice video

A junkyard in my hometown has this cars’s twin sitting in the parking lot. I’ve been tempted to go in and inquire about it but I never have.

@@jonathanmorrisey5771 Thanks for that. While I had forgotten that, I was actually being flippant.

In Australia they were a common sight. They were made by Mitsubishi and called Starion. Ours had the 2.0 turbo. They were a sort of upmarket alternative to the Cordia.

[@jeffpitzer8521]

I owned 2 87 conquests one red one black... I loved them! Small turbo spooled up very quickly! The 2.6 engine is almost bulletproof.. Mitsubishi used it in pickups and industrial equipment also. The turbo version had several differences. Lower compression pistons..oil cooler.. fuel injection..it is a WAAAAY better car than a 944 Porsche! I had the same radio in my 88 Dodge D-50.. the seats were often swapped into other vehicles because they were awesome and very adjustable.
