Found this in the Staz

[FST4RD]

As the title says, under the rear part of the roof lining I found this sticker with the date 28/10/87 on it. I can only assume that the car would have rolled out the factory sometime after this?
Had a look at JAS's one and had some thing slightly different on it, but was from an older Starion. So what you reckon?

[Mr Ralliart]

In Japan they use the U.S. system of writing dates so it would read 102887 if it was a date .

They've never really been into recording dates in Japan , the only time it seems to appear is if it's a batch number of a certain part . For example the only date on my Evo is printed on the fuel tank . Generally when someone gives you a year for an imported car , it's a guesstimate based on the model it is .

Oh ok I just thought that have what looked to be a date in 1987 and mine is an 87 thought the Japs might have hidden the build date :D

have a look on the seatbelt tags on the doors :D

[Mr Ralliart]

Same story though , will just tell you when the seatbelts were made . But will be reasonably accurate in determining the approximate build date .

The only way to get a definite date is to contact Mitsubishi archives with the body number .

How? I'm interested to find out when my 4WS car was built. Mitsubishi in NZ don't give a shit about old cars and the only number it has means nothing to them.
