    Sooo.....

    THIS happened. And i think i like it.

    seller said:

    88 Mitsubishi Starion Custom 325i BMW swap (out of a 93) Yes, to spell it out for those that dont know, its an Inline 6cyl. (M50TUB25) also kept the BMW 5 spd tranny. Short throw and Momo Shifter Custom clutch, JEGS press/booster, Custom driveshaft, Mitsu LSD rear end and DTA axles. Fresh drilled & slotted rotors all around. Quik stop pads. Nice Enkei 17"s wrapped in Fisk ZRX Phantoms (Descent at best) Front wheels have 1 1/2" spacers Rear has 2" (more aggressive stance) Paint is nice and shinny but has more than a few touched up rock type chips and a lil rust round drivers side rear wheel. Looks really good though, nothing awefull. Engine Mods : Custom Polished Manifold 2.5" downpipe (Heat wrapped) 3" Mandrel bend Exhaust (CAT delete) Back to a Polished SS Blox Muffler. A/R.60 Turbo Apexi Filtered Samco Sport Connections Hard Piped FMIC Turboxs Blowoff Aeromotive Fuel reg / MSD hiflow fuel Pump & Injectors Golden Eagle Vacum block NSK R's Nice wire tuck Carbon fiber fan shroud BMW Radiater and Hi output electric fan. Interior: NO back seats, and no spare tire nor cover. Battery is relocated in back and is in a box w/HEAVY gauge wire. Custom adjustable Stabilizer on rear. Front bucket seats ( NO seatbelts) Dash is there w/functioning speedo. NO heater controls nor glovebox. Carbon fiber panel in dash w/the following Autometer Pro Comp Gauges SS Face Boost 30psi) , Oil , Water Temp , Fuel Level & Fuel Pressure(which is the only one currently hooked up). Nice Alpina steering wheel.

    Now for the BAD: Pretty sure the turbo has blown oil seal (car smokes). Still runs and drives. Price allready reflects this so keep your lowball offers.

    TRADES: Not interested in Boats Bikes ATVS or Campers at this time. Will only consider an offer IF and only it comes with details and pic.

    WILL NOT respond to "Is it still available"

    Sadly, i do not have the room.

    Otherwise i'd be all about this thing.

    As it is, i thought long and hard about selling the MX6 of Doom to get myself in this thing.

    Local BMW fanboy told me with a new turbo it should be making WELL over 300whp.

    I believe that was for sale in Columbus a year or two ago with similar problems. Unless there are two BMW swapped Starquests in the area .

    I'm guessing he's one of the people that uses Craigslist as it's intended to be used.

    As in, as long as the ad is up, the car is still there.

    I can honestly not think of a more useless swap. Just think, half of the performance potential of what he removed with twice the maintenance cost. What a bargain!
