Starion Drift / Track Car

Hey all

About 6 or so months ago I brought a 1982 Mitsubishi JA Starion 5sp manual for the measly sum of $400.00.

Engine
4G63 sohc turbo 2.0L engine.
Interior
completely stripped. only front seats and Dash left.
Exterior
relatively straight
some smaller spots of rust

Plans
get the thing running - Almost there. runs but is smelly.
new starting system - Starter button, Ignition switch, Acc Switch.
Install Boost, water temp and Oil pressure Gauges and also a bigger tacho.
different exhaust system I think it is closer to a 2" system but am looking to go at least 3" later in the year.
possible convert it to DOHC using a VR4 head and upgrade the turbo and associated parts.

PICS

Engine Bay

View of interior from Boot

Exhaust mid

Stock Turbo and Bits

Front with bar removed showing Stock Oil cooler

Stock rims painted black

Drivers side from front. Will get a better Picture when I can.

Dash with standard wheel.

Obviously needs a far bit of work done before the first outing on the track but hopefully after the wedding in July I will have the time and money to continue with it.

Some of the guys on the Austarion forums have made 400hp with these things. so they have potential.
I get excited everytime I work on it cause I know what it could end up being.

all comments welcome.
Cheers SIlversp20
