Thread about it on Starquest here - http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/inde ... opic=76543

i like how it has all those holes drilled in it :D

i like how they dont understand how the oiling system in a turbo works.

I like that some shop is actually building a drift Starion and make the parts needed for it.

With any luck they may actually start producing the parts.

Would be nice to get some afforable but actually track tested bolt on stuff for the Starion.

They should of mounted the turbo on a 45 deg angle to get rid of 1st bend of the dump pipe , turbo wouldn't of lasted one day , see the smoke in one of photos , the chinese should stick to copying not inventing .

That's awesome, and it was at the shanghai track! sweet. that takkui site is a forum (and blocked in china :S ) so not sure how i can find them.

pretty cool. I like the one piece front end and the side marker delete. I didnt realize that was a evo engine lol. I'm like it l9ooks just like a 4g63.. forgot they changed the flow direction.

Well who knows maybe some more suspension parts will come to life, but probably not since it all looks custom.

i wouldnt hold your breath for suspension parts being produced by a "race team" and really its cool what they did with the car but i wouldnt buy any of their parts. I remember seeing pics of the guys welding in flip flops with the car upside down:)

what benefits are they hoping to get from mounting the turbo that way anyway?
pipes arent any shorter?
intake goes into the cabin so maybe somesort of cold air setup in there but surely nothing a box couldnt have done?

maybe they thought the rotational energy from the turbo would help them keep the car sideways, like a big gyro:)

LOL... you guys like how SQC haaaaaaaaaaaaated on it??

Better than most of thier cars.

That's really cool! :) Should be a bit better balanced too with the donk further back, not that Starions are badly balanced to begin with.

However, they still ended up with same blasted problem of all the heat from the turbo and zorst travelling towards the brake and clutch fluids. :roll: Damn! Earlier engine or RHD!

Well they kinda recreated that problem by using a later engine in a LHD.
But since all the fluid reservoirs are inside it should not be a problem for them.

Actually using a later engine in a RHD could solve some of the issues of hot exaust pipes close to the steering, brakes and clutch.

On the weekend Mal and i drove his widebody to Just engine management for a quick look at the cars from the dyno day they were running. We were approached by a man from hybrid, who told us he sponsors a yellow starion over in china Turns out it is this car, and said he can send me all the pics of it if i wanted. :D Apparently it keeps breaking a driveline component every meet.

I wonder what transmission they are using as there really isnt anything thatw ill bolt to a late model evo tranny afaik. I cant imagine its anything in the rear, so maybe the driveshaft or transmission?
