I remember reading on the old AU site about a car that was found with a factory installed Solid Axle, different interior, fender mounted mirrors, and it was N/A. Anybody remeber this or have any more information about this fluke car?

Hopefully it's been burnt by now

I think that was a kiwi car. Starions were available (early ones anyway) in poverty pack.
It's curious to me why the galant (sigma), sapporo (scorpion) and starion would all be available at the same time in poverty pack (live axle N/A) up to turbo (IRS, leather etc).

i believe it is catered for in the jap spec sheet that was posted not long ago.

Yeah man, i went and took photos of it, i still have them if you'd like me to email them to you?

Zac - Post them in Show n Shine for everyone to recoil in horror.. maybe include some sort of warning. I wonder how many of those were let out of the factory..

Aiight bling bling yo.

(im actualy about as white as can be, could you tell? :P )

Actually, FUCK. I seem to have overwritten them, damn, i have 2, but they only show the flat bonnet.

That'd be awesome. My email addy is zurc@wilkshire.net

BzurcTSi,
See my translated spec sheet reference towards the bottom of the table to "4 wheel independant". I must say I did not believe there was such a thing until ProZac mentioned it and then we got this spec sheet.

Live rear axle car was not exported. However a handfull seem to have made their way to NZ and perhaps OZ and maybe else where?

All non-US were 99% 2.0 litre not 2.6 incase you are wondering.


Have a look at this thread for the spec sheet info.

well shit....that's a bummer.

I ran a search and found the spec sheet a few hours ago. There's a guy on the US board who has an obsession with anything that's uncommon, and he's going nuts about this 82 he heard about, so i'm sorta just looking into it for him out of boredom.

Sorry for the letdown. I saw it however, the body was the same. It had mirrors out on the guards, and different seats aswell, similar to cordia ones. Apparently it was very boaty on the road, rolled like a bitch.

get ready for a shock.....

that's worse than goatse

although... its probably the most reliable starion model of the lot....
