hitch Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thought this looked nice for the price. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/cto/2703050230.html I always liked this body style and a reasonable price for getting into a sweet running turbo. Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 i have owned 3 of these 148,000 going to need a timing chain before the oil pump chain snaps and fries the engine and while you are in there you will need to do a balance shaft elimination. i bet the head bolt's have never been re torqued. in less they are real hard to come buy over there no way that is a 2900 dollar car. if you look in the pic he has replaced the fuel injector clip's but it look's like he used el tape after twisting them together. with the fans wired up the way they are he is going to burn out the alt I know this from experience. every time you buy a starquest figure you are going to spend around 300 to make it reliable head gasket timing componets top end gasket kit oil pan gasket switch to manual rockers from early caravan jet valve elimination adjust tps and isc check every thing check all vac lines eliminate secondary air filter(50cent trick) and after that 300 there is fuel injector clips fuel filter intank filter sock the shocks are usually toast and the air dams are almost always cracked but man when these fickle biotch's run right they are awsome it is an awsome daily driver the lsd's in these cars are sweet what other 80's turbo car can you find for cheep that has 4 wheel vented disc's lsd leather interior digital climate control with wide wheels. i have the window sticker from my last 88 it cost 27,000 in 1988. i want another i just dont have time for one right now. for research try starquestclub starquestix or 2.6liter.us Quote Link to comment
hitch Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I txt the owner, since he is about a mile away. Said it is on ebay now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-Chrysler-Conquest-TSI-YELLOW-5-spd-Mitsubishi-Starion-/160684631976?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item25698ce7a8#full-history From the carfax, looks like it sat for about 6 years. Bet there are plenty of band aid repairs. Plus, I've never seen the car on the road anywhere around here. Quote Link to comment

I'm talking about a 84 turbo one btw. Im sure you know the specs of the Z31 though, i think around 250ish HP? i know it wasn't alot for it being a 3 liter turbo. I've ridden in one and it handles corners pretty well. it is heavy though. Quote Link to comment

Fuzz No,but the silver/primered conquest with the ford 306 was traded to a guy fron huntsville. He put it up for sale about 6 months after we traded,i tried to buy ti back but he was a complete douche bag. So it is possible my old car was bought by someone else. I woudl love to get it back so if u know its location,pm me with informtaion please. Quote Link to comment
