Hello everyone!

My name is Christina, I'm 44 year young...
I've just purchased my first Mitsubishi Starion after being hounded by my son to buy it off his mate in Adelaide, you all might know him as Bitza (Andrew).

My son runs a Cordia website (http://www.cordiafreaks.com) and thinks the world of the Cordias, his friend was doing his JA Starion up and ended up wanting to sell it... I have bought it now for $3000. She is a beautiful car, the paint is great goldy colour and the Starion styling is stunning!

I sold my previous car (2004 Nissan Pulsar) to purchase this Starion, as I love it so much!!!

I'm very excited to have joined this website now, my son told me about it and says forums are the way to go for technical help!

I hope to get to know alot of you in my conversations on here!

Hellloooo Adrian,

Good to have you back on board. :D

Not much changes, we're still a bunch of Starion nutcases all trying to find nirvana. ie own a 3000 car that grunts a 50000 car and then be asked what is it?
Never argue with an idiot, it brings you down to their level and they beat you with experience.

Hi, managed to figure out my login for this site, suprised it's still active after a couple years.

Name : Ross

Age :29

Carreer : IT

Car: JA Starion Black in rough condition with half an engine. It's payment from a mate who I'm helping do a VR4 conversion, also gave me a VR4 and spare engine & gearbox :)
Main car is 1994 TT supra, also have a 1991 Soarer turbo which my missus drives, when the weather isn't icy I get around on my ZX-12R bike, and my missus rides a Thundercat bike which we rebuilt. I've been a little obsessed with japanese performance since my teens. So far only the bike has been able to satisfy that :D

Location: Castlemaine

My current starion needs restoration which will take place once I have some cash and spare time. My previous starion last had "GADGET" numberplates on it, would like to know how it's going if it's still around.

Hi

Post by Vulpes »

Hey some of you may remember me from a few years ago.

Darryl

Age 46
Ive had about 6 starions just bought a JA and although in very good condition for its age it is now undergoing a full rebuild

I live near Windsor NSW

Im a builder

I also have a mint 86 Cordia Turbo with 82,000 k's on it which I love but not as much as starions

My name is Vulpes as I have several pet foxes ( yes I know thats weird )

I am amazed how helpful everybody is here and parts seem to be no problem.
