88 Mitsubishi Starion 2.6l Turbo on 2040-cars
Year:1988
Mileage:72000
Color:
Location:
Sierra Vista, Arizona, United States

The word RARE is way overused in the automobile re-sale
market. To the point, it's almost rare not to see the word. This car was
imported by Mitsubishi from 83-89. Only 10,655 produced in 1988. (all markets, all
models) In 1987-89 they came to the US with the wide body (AKA fatty / flared
fenders) and inter-cooled turbo. The 2.6L IC turbo engine produced 197 HP. with 220 lb ft of torque in a 2,700
lb car. An automatic transmission was not common in this car either. This is a true survivor. I bought this from a friend of mine 4
years ago. It was sitting in her garage. (51 year old woman) in S. Arizona. She bought it new
in Florida and moved it out here many years ago. It has the
original Leather interior still in great shape. Everything is stock!!!! Radio
and all. No cuts or holes or cracks in the dash or anywhere. The exterior is
all original including the wheels and paint. The front spoiler has a break in
it,(see pic) from a parking curb.
The only other visual issue is a few drops of battery fluid dropped on
the left hid-a-way head light, otherwise in good shape. No dents no scratches.
Now we might be approaching rare. If you don’t think so, try to find one on
ebay or autotrader for sale!! Anywhere, Any year, any transmission, any condition. The Transmission was rebuilt a few years
ago, but has very few miles since. shifts very positive. The tires look new but are
5 or 6 years old. I've been driving it back and forth to work (9 miles one way)
and makes a great commuter and decent mileage. No suspension parts have ever
been changed but it still drives tight. Could probably use some shocks/struts
and new tires for a better ride and fun factor. (rides like it has 25 year old shocks and bushings and 10 your old tires) is a little harsh right now) Engine starts
easy, runs great and when the boost kicks in, it pulls great. Mitsubishi
Starion has a race car pedigree. (SEE Wikipedia for more info) This car has independent rear suspension with rear wheel drive and 4 wheel disc brakes. Came factory with
205/55 - 16 tires on the front and 225/50 - 16 on the rear. This would make a
great auto cross car and were popular as a tuners. The heater works good but the indication
lights in the dash are intermittent. If you have any questions please ask
before bidding. On Jan-30-14 at 14:51:56 PST, seller added the following information: The car is equipped with Air Conditioning. All the parts are in tact but clutch doesn't engage when turned on. Will require some work. |

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Mitsubishi denies plans for Toyota/Subaru rival sports coupe
Tue, 23 Oct 2012Forgive us for being wistful, but there was a time when Mitsubishi coupes and sports cars were the downright awesome. The 1990s brought us the all-wheel drive, turbocharged Eclipse GSX and the twin-turbocharged 3000GT VR-4 (seen here). The times, they were good.
Fast-forward to today, and the Lancer Evolution exists as Mitsubishi's sole, true performance offering. Mitsubishi killed off the Eclipse last year, by which time it had lost much the luster of its predecessors. With an affordable Japanese sports car fomenting underway thanks to Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, one may think that it's an ideal time for a brand like Mitsubishi to jump back into the performance coupe game. A rear-drive Mitsubishi sports car to take on the Toyobaru twins could be just what the brand needs to gain some mindshare among consumers.
Not so, says Osamu Masuko. The president and executive director of Mitsubishi told reporters at the Sydney Motor Show, "Our engineers are very prominent to investigate new technologies, but to use that technology they are not that good to bring the revenue to make that money." Read: the engineers want to do it, but the company does not find it to be financially responsible.
Watch Mitsubishi break the EV record at Pikes Peak
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Take a listen folks - you're hearing the eventual future of motorsports. This is Greg Tracy and the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III as they assault the treacherous course at Pikes Peak in just 9:08.188.
This run is significant for a number of reasons. As we recapped in our Pikes Peak finale post, Tracy's run was a mere two seconds off the best overall time at this year's event, snagging him and Mitsubishi second place overall, as well as first in the Electric Modified class and the fourth fastest time ever recorded. Perhaps more importantly, though, Tracy thoroughly trounced the previous EV record at Pikes Peak, beating the legendary Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima's 2013 best of 9:46.530.
It's an impressive feat, and now you can experience the whole run from as near a first-person viewpoint as you're going to get. Scroll down and have a look.
