1987 quest is my girl. She's black but I gotta say the color of yours is sick. I'm waiting on finishing gathering all parts I have a lr4 aluminum 5.3 but waiting on a 5 or 6 speed. They're pricey here used. I purchased mine in 2018 from an impound yard. I was 17 in senior year of high school in 87. I wanted one so bad when I looked at blue one new at dealer. 6 kids and 30 years later I was finally able to buy one. You're absolutely right about high school story except it was me in 87 in high school when they were new. Great video bro.
@@LudeQuest I also purchased mine in 2009. Unfortunately I made the mistake of giving it to my son for his graduation present next year 😂 I had plenty of fun in the car..I guess I can turn the keys over and let him do the same.
I had the pleasure of making a beer run with my wife’s younger brother’s 87 Conquest. It was a little damp outside and when I entered my neighborhood I did a rev match downshift into second and stuffed the gas to the floor. I ended up making a nice sick drift around the long curving entrance street. It left quite an impression on me. I know full well my brother-in-law had no idea how performance drive anything. He would’ve freaked out with that sick little drift. I really like the styling of this car, it still looks good all these years later. Hate to say but your Prelude is outclassed. This car reminds me of GEN2 Celica GT styling wise. Just a good looker.
I'm 40 now, and I know what you mean about loud. I like noise, and a nice tone, just not overly loud for no reason. Beautiful car man, I've only ever seen one in the wild before. Then again I do live in VT where cars rust out in 5 years lol.
Definitely true, my buddy in high school in Texas had the Mitsubishi version the Starion! I really like that car it kicked ass.. 🤘🏽 I currently own a 2018 WRX with some MOD’s .. awesome video bro.. both your cars are cool af, my sister had a 1990 prelude in high school it was her first car, and my first baby was a Ski blue 88 Honda civic with the slanted hatchback! Been a car nerd most my life! 😎✌🏽
My HS nostalgia car is a fox body notch back lx mustang. My buddy drove up into cul-de-sac and did a 180 and took off like a bat outta hell… I was hooked.
I live in the upstate of SC and know Frankie's Fun Park quite well. My friend in high school (in the late 80s) had the Mitsubishi version of this car. I still love the body style! He and I graduated from Mauldin in 1989.
Miss my Conquest tsi. Damn time tensioner bolt snapped 3 times on me and I finally sold it. Wish I'd kept it and put a different motor in it. Looks so good!!
Jus suscribed ..intrested in the details of wiring it up , steering setup. Tranny rear end and engine mounting..plus ur performance upgrade lists..had an 85 narrow body conquest
Wiring-used factory JZ harness w/ a ECUMaster EMU BLACK ECU. With the accessory PlugNPlay adapter from ECUMaster (extra $300) Steering was all factory gearbox Tranny-Fully built R154 w/ JZ bell housing Rear end-All factory rear end Engine mounts-Matthew Ayres (VetteKiller) makes them for around $250 For performance upgrade, check my video showing the cost of everything. You’ll see the complete spreadsheet of everything.
I too like both cars. I was working at a Honda store when the Prelude came out. The Prelude was never a big seller, but they were a good car and fun to drive. Honda people were very resistant to change, and a lot of them bitched about the change to a rounded shape and no popup headlights. Even the Si was never a performance car, but Honda was innovative with the 4WS and ALB variants. Four wheel steering didn't catch on back then, but before long, everyone had ABS. The Conquest/Starion was such a good looking car. Like a beefier version of the '82-'86 Supra. A friend had a red TSI, and especially compared to anything Honda was putting out, the thing was a rocket. It'd leave a CRX Si for dead.
In our country of Norway/Portugal, the car is a Mitsubishi Starion and it is such a unicorn car. Our founder has owned 2 Prelude 4th gens, one H22 VTEC and one 2.3 Si and it is one of the greatest Hondas ever made in our opinion! We have followed and put on the bell, and would love a follow back as well. Looking forward to being part of the journey!
Many people are not aware that mitsubishi built the G54b for industrial use. It came in most forklifts for 30 years. So if looking for cheap used emginr parts look at forklifts in marketplace before looking in G54b enthusiasts groups It's the difference between 3k and 300 bucks. Plus you get a forklift for your shop
You did a great job on this Conquest - these weren't that common back in the day and even more so now. How is the driveline holding up to the extra power? Evan did a great job too!
No issue yet on driveline. Rear end is all stock with stock axles as well. The stock rear end can take a lot of abuse. It’s the launching from a stop that will break the axles.
@@LudeQuest After watching your clip i remember that in old house neighborhood were we stay previously i had a friend and his dad had a Mitsubishi Starion that was looking very similar to your Chrysler Conquest not sure if it had same engine though.. but as i went to get my friend out i often talked to his father when he was working something to that car.. he was a mechanical engineer and that car was very cool he told me that at one point he was interested to get into rally racing but it couldn't find a team co-pilot so he only participated in few up-hill events an he won first place in it 's class he show me 6 cups he had in the garage.. what a cool car and instantly i had some flash-backs and i remember the old cool times we had in past when i watched your clip, so i wanted to tank you to bringing back my old memories.. Big love from Europe !
Hey I was looking at your car on you tube tv April 2 2023 I was wondering if you could tell me what type wheels you have on the front of your car and what is the size of the rims and what is the size of the tires I would like to get some of them
In the UK that Chrysler was called the colt station my fav jap car of the 80s that boxy shape just loved it still do it's like jap meets Mustang Shelby. Those cars now are so rare here
Did you steal my stories?? kidding.. Owned a silver one too, and got caught doing donuts in a Church parking lot, when he was actually just sitting IN the parking lot. Got DUI tested, but passed. Received a reckless in court.....man I miss that car though. lol
I love people who don't do their own work calling something a money pit. How about don't complain about spending money if you're not capable of doing your builds yourself? Any build you have to pay someone else to do is a "money pit"
Very interesting to read Kevin Brock’s definition of a money pit. Merriam Webster’s definition of MoneyPit is “something that uses up a very large amount of money” I appreciate you watching though. 👌🏻
@@LudeQuest Yeah, and any project that you have to pay someone else to do is going to use up a very large amount of money duh... Learn some skills idjit. LOL@ couldn't even tune a megasquirt...they have AUTOTUNE!!! lol
Too cool man! I’m the dude that just saw you on the highway. Would love to shoot that thing one day! We also gotto get the cars out cruising! Do you have a Facebook?

No expense spared for the conquest! Beautiful build Mark, long overdue. I can’t wait for the SE vid. 👍🏽 liked and subscribed, just like Evan said.
I let Evan know this morning that he gained us a subscriber. 😁. Be on the lookout for the Prelude video soon.
The best looking sportscar ever
Conquest looks stunning, love the muscular angles.
Lol I had a friend in HS that had a red one also, I’ve always wanted one since driving and experiencing his! Congratulations yours is awesome!
Identical stories. 😁
I love the Conquest. That is a great looking car.
I love your taste in cars, so much like mine. I own a 95 Prelude SE and have always loved the Starion/Conquest as well, would love to own one someday

Thank you. Glad you liked the video. I’ve purchased a few Conquests from scrap yards also. And either resold them or parted them out.
At first I thought the Honda had a fancy paint job.... Then I realized it was the shadow of your fence! 😂 Doh!!!
I love the cars and your garage
I appreciate it. Thanks for checking out the video.
One of the cleanest looking starquest out there man! Nice job! Mine might look and sound that good one day 😁
Thank you. Can’t believe it’s been 14yrs since I first got it…

I was 15 in '84 when my mom's boss' son picked me up in a Starion Turbo TSI AWD. I wanted one so badly. Even today that is one cool car.
They were non-intercooled in 1984 (so it wasn’t a TSI-Turbo Sport Intercooled) and they were all RWD…..none were offered in AWD…
I'm 40 now, and I know what you mean about loud. I like noise, and a nice tone, just not overly loud for no reason. Beautiful car man, I've only ever seen one in the wild before. Then again I do live in VT where cars rust out in 5 years lol.

Had a 93 prelude with a built jdm h22a 🎉🎉🎉 I had a blast with that car
My HS nostalgia car is a fox body notch back lx mustang. My buddy drove up into cul-de-sac and did a 180 and took off like a bat outta hell… I was hooked.
Super nice car always like the body style it similar to a BMW E30 M3 or a UR Quattro because of the box fender flairs.
Conquests are just cool cars man👍👍

My 1994 Subaru SVX was my money pit, I wish I'd kept it along with just about every car I owned since 1972.
Glad I could inspire this build 2 decades later! 😂
Allen, you owe me alot of money. And your story is at 2:23
Very cool. Im not a fan of swapped Starions but any Starion still on the road is a blessing!
eh, lets make your comment a bit more precise:
"any Starion still on the road is a MIRACLE!"
The Conquest all day long. The Honda I just don't know about. But either one is cooler than what I drive.
I too like both cars.

Thanks for following. I’m excited about the Prelude video coming up soon!
15+yrs of G54BS, going 2J was the best thing I ever did
Yep. 11yrs of G54B for me. Then went 1JZ…

Wheels are Saleen SC wheels purchased from LMR.com.
Rear wheel-17x10 +20mm w/ 1” spacer
Front wheel-17x9 +24mm w/ 12mm spacer
My uncle had a Conquest in the late 80’s. They stole it from the driveway. Nice car.
looks awesome! Any idea of the wheel specs??
Saleen SC Wheels from LMR.com. Rear is 17x10 +20 (with a 1” spacer on rear). Front is 17x9 +24 (with a 12mm spacer on front).
@@LudeQuest thanks! Saleen wheels is a legend move!! 🤘🤘
Cool cars man !! I saw some pics of a SN95 in that garage floating on the internet. Is that also yours??
That was a friend’s car. We used the garage for the showroom look.
In the UK that Chrysler was called the colt station my fav jap car of the 80s that boxy shape just loved it still do it's like jap meets Mustang Shelby. Those cars now are so rare here
Your cameraman did a good job.
I let Evan know. Thank you!
Gotta have the OEM 5 spoke wheels or it's not really a Starion/Conquest.
Does that apply to every other car also? Or just Starion/Conquest?
@@LudeQuest no, just the Starion/Conquest and the 4 spoke 84-85 Celica Supra.
What radiator were you running on the conquest?
S13 Aluminum radiator. $130 on eBay
Did you steal my stories?? kidding.. Owned a silver one too, and got caught doing donuts in a Church parking lot, when he was actually just sitting IN the parking lot. Got DUI tested, but passed. Received a reckless in court.....man I miss that car though. lol
bwhahahahah, I had a buddy in highschool that had a gold one. Such a badd ass car back then. Was so jealous of him.
What radiator are running?
MK3 Supra Aluminum Radiator
Supra and rx7 had a baby
nice car but getto rims imho wouold look so much better with the original stock rims
Dude took 9:30 minutes to finally show the engine…..seriously 🤨🤔🤦♂️
