As most of you probably know, the US Conquests got different tail lights, grill, and some other small items are unique compared to their Starion counterparts. Is their any demand for these items? The reason I ask is because I'd really like to get ahold of some of your style taillights, ect. and wondered if there as any interest in getting some parts swaps going, where each party just paid shipping for items of equal condition. Sound like a good idea to anyone else?

Yea, i'm up for one of those swaps, as long as I get factory intercooled flatty with the sirus dash motor :D. Too bad that's not possible

It is nice to see people who actually respect the widebody. There are so many typical american idiots who get nice widebody then trash it through neglect.

Hmmm wouldn't mind those rear lights and the wrap around spoiler. How about those electronically retracting seat belts! Talk about cool give us everything I need to get them in to my car and working properly.

If people haven't seen this working before go hire a movie called Election?
I think Sharah Jessica Parkers husband Matt Broderik? gets in to some blue hatchback and when he sits down the belt moves along a rail in the roof and tightens on his body.

If you put a dash head on your car might be able to get that wide body swap. He under estimate the sneakiness of a cartton character.

I told my mate his AUTOMATIC series 3 RX7 12A LOL should be called Doctor Claw coz he will never catch GADGET :D

your mirrors are saught after items also. But for those with manual adjusting mirrors it means fiiting the electronics to power it.

Hey on the topic of taillights...what is the question of legality regarding tail light conversions?

Say if i remove the current tail light and modify them so that they are smooth or blend in with body colour etc, but do it in such a way that the brake lights, indicators and reverse lights remain exactly the same visibility...is this legal?

Just wondering where the "badness" of putting on stuff like nite shades comes from...is it due to the tail lights effectiveness being reduced? or because when lights shine on the back of the car there is no red reflection?

As for the LSD's, all the widebody's and the EX/ES/ESI flatsiders came with them. Sadly, though, they are all 3.54:1 ratio.

A Stratus SE is basically a 3g Mitsubishi Eclipse, only on a slightly extended chassis and with different style, sold by Dodge in the US. The drivetrain, motor, suspension, and most of the enterior are identical to the 3rd. Gen. Eclipse.

As for the belts, it's actually kinda funny, as most people in the US hate the "Automatic Passive Restraint" belts, and the hot item to swap is the pre-87, regular seatbelt components.
