1987 Mitsubishi Starion 2.0 Turbo

Yeah, I really don't want to get rid of it. I think I'd regret it forever, I've never seen one before in my life and it's 99% rot free and in excellent condition - not very common!

I went up today with the intention of fixing the clutch release bearing fork. God, what a horrible, horrible job. I wasn't looking forward to this, and especially in a cramped little garage. I did the necessary things like jacking and supporting it.
I took all nine or so bolts from the gearbox/block and then I had to take the bolts from the propshaft. You have to have two ends suspended in the air to turn the wheels to get at all four bolts! It's a straight forward job but it's dirty, there's gearbox fluid -everywhere- and sliding out the input shaft requires strength and lacerated arms. It's horrible.

Managed to wiggle the fork out and on adjusting the clip:



It broke off. Packed up and went home!
Will have to get a new one or fabricate this one.

One of my all time fave cars these! Jealous!!

I've spent the past few days faffing about with the car!
Yesterday I reconnected a new slave cylinder on the clutch. Thankfully, the clutch now works with the new fork sitting in it's proper place. Why can't bleeding brakes/clutches be a clean job. The driveway has patches of fluid everywhere. This job is impossible to do without spilling loads.

I took a few piccies! None of the outside as I haven't washed it.













Here's a video of the car ... running. I've lost the gaskets off the fuel pump and it's peeing out all over the floor. The car runs swell on easi-start, lol. Check out those flames - not what I really wanted.

Sold the car for 550 quid, was for sale for 650. It was very tidy and worth more than that, but it didn't work and no longer wanted it, so that's the way it is.
Managed to put the original 'non-standard' alloys on. Think it'll be the final car I'll ever buy that 'needs work'.
