This was my body kit made from RX7 skirts Magna front spoiler and rear skirt and commodore rear spolier with monaro flutes.

What do you think???

i like it :) , rear suspension looks pretty high compared to the front, got a shot of it front-on?

This is a photo from the front sorry it's a bit dark.
Yeah it does look a bit high at the rear but thats because it was about to pounce!

different wheels and lowering the back should do it a hell of a lot of justice and look real nice :D

i'd do that if I still had it but alas she is no more I sold it about 6 years ago to captain shiner here on the forums. I drive valiants now, an S series an R/T E 38 and a Jepp grand cherokee LTD but I would really want a widebody which I will look at getting sometime in the next 12 months.

Found a better pic

Any body recognise this car? (don't say any thing Stace see if they guess)
I will reveal the details later tonight.

Okay here is clue number 1: (Stace might not even be aware of this!)

The JB rims on this car are from the Yokohama/Fitzgerald championship winning production car.

Clue 2 in about an hour! :D

here is a pic a few years earlier!

Is this the racing Starion, Group E i think you posted about a while ago.
I remember reading you say one of the racing ones you owned was converted to Holden V6

Right on the mark but even better would have been that this is THE factory Mitsubishi, Kevin Bartlett/ Peter McKay group E race car!

So do i win a prize :D

no :o

u look a bit rick astley in that pic steve :D

and correct me if i'm wrong but isnt there a pic of this car in that magazine article decoy scanned in the group a thread thats going at the moment??

YES and yes! Full ralliart war paint until I sold it with the new white full coat to Stace in 1989/90? This thing was a rocket on rails and never missed a beat. I run it at Lakeside and set a new lap record at the time for production cars on a worn out set of 195 wide Yokohama A008's. It would crack 180+ through the kink on the main straight and Dean Tighe in his cosworth escort looped it trying to outbrake it into carousel. I bought the JB Fitzgerald car and so had to on sell this gem.
One little side note - I had to look after Peter Fitzgeralds group E series 5 RX7 one weekend: that thing was an absolute rocket, would kill the starion in a straight line and had a few 'rule breakers' attached. I almost wrote it off! I think back and wonder why he gave it to a speed freak 20 year old!

Im interested in hearing about the "rule breakers" fitted to the S5.
