Dj Kules Completely agree. Cars are completely subjective and may not appeal to someone when they’re in a so called “Pure/Stock” form. Putting a Mitsubishi engine in a Mitsubishi Car may be an admirable choice but it’s not always right.
Were I live, and even in Japan of what I’ve heard, these cars have become rare. But rarity shouldn’t be an excuse to build the car of your dreams. Depending on purpose, resources and ambition an American LS V8 motor might be pure overkill as well as a bit of a social No-No in terms of JDM. But if you have the nut and the desire to already go that route, well see no hinders.

To me this build feels very outlandish and from every angle of it’s square 80s body I see nothing but a reflection of it’s owner, just pure awesomeness! Props to this dude!

OK kids… I have so many comments on this car, this build and the ridiculous comments from the “4-banger kids”…
This guy is awesome, first of all… He did an incredible job with a car that 99% of the time gets overlooked. I have personally owned 5 Star/Quest’s over the last 25+ years, just for starters… I loved this stupid, unreliable, completely ridiculously impossible to keep running reliably, turbo charged 4 cylinder Japanese, piece of awesome, yet F’d up engineering mistake from Mitsubishi for way too many years! 5 of these cars made me yearn for a Naturally aspirated Honda, Toyota or Corvette…
I still do, love and always will have a passion for the design of the Conquest/Starion, but I wish I would have put an Ls Vette motor in my Conquest, the last time I had it rebuilt… I would have probably spent about the same or maybe less $$$ and it might still be running, and maybe faster and more reliable…
Instead, it sat motionless for almost 4 or 5 years, while I regretted the money I dumped into that piece of shit, while my Honda Prelude kicked it’s ass every day because it ran flawlessly…
This kid did what I should have done…….. put a V-8 conversion in, and enjoy the car.
As for the 4 banger-turbo purists, move out of mommy and daddy’s, get your own place, get a good woman to spend your money on, then get an Ls V-8 and enjoy reliability, then you might understand why american muscle, reliability and saving your hard earned money is better than Turbo 4 cylinder Bs…
Try not putting someone down for improving on a cool, yet flawed car, and maybe quit sucking on mommy’s teet’s, and maybe get out of the basement and try building you own car with your own money, Douchebags…
Just saying… lol

Great build. I would love to see a Starion/Conquest with a 4G63 in it.

@Chris matthewyaa AirLift_Lucas I don’t finished my Car, and spend more than 10k and need more 20k to do what i want. Like u said, is not the best equipment and needs lot of search to spend less on equipment.

I love the Starquest, I have had a few of them, I still have a closet full of New Old Stock parts that are no longer available and a completely built G54B on a stand in my garage. You did a very tasteful build. Do you have a website with more pictures along with more build info? Id love to build a Starquest with a 2jzgte. Keep up the great work!

My favourite stories on Speedhunters are of builds like these – the story of one man and his machine and how it came to be. There was the great story of Enrique and his Supra in November which I loved, and now this.

Love this project – a long and interesting history culminating in one super cool car. I would love to have the skills to be able to create something like this, but since I don’t, it makes the end result all the more impressive.

Congrats on the build and on finally getting it featured!
