I loved the sound of the Turbo when it spooled up. This photo was taken when I was Stationed at Naval Air Station Pensacola Florida.

Hopefully you and the Starion are living your best lives.
What are those!!
(Jk, those aren’t that bad)
Oh man, I loved the Conquest TSI.
I saw one recently in great condition.
Was the guys daily Driver.
I miss mine.
I call dibs on running the EQ on the stereo!
Absolutely bitchin’ cars. Don’t see many around these days. From what I remember, the head gasket on those engines was a weak point.
Loved the starion and conquest!
I hope the car is still on your possession. It would be nice to restore it to this look again
Damn, that car is a hot ticket these days!
This car had swagger. It’s like it came stock with wide body mods.
Commonly see a Starion in establishing shots of Seinfeld. Same color
GAWD YES! I had the ’85 Conquest. Wanted the ’89 TSi. Demon car. The TSi could scoot!!!
The Starion was a beast, probably left many a mustang driver confused and questioning their life choices.
I miss mine, same colour as yours..
How many times did it get stolen?
I used to detail these back in the day for a local Mits dealer. Loved driving them back & forth between the shop & the dealership. Very cool cars
It’s pronounced stallion. Ooooops
Wow, only 159 were ever sold in the states.
I always loved the look of these … We use to get them from time to time at my used car dealership I worked at, back in the early 90s
I had an 88. Bored out to a 3.0. Had aftermarket crank, pistons and rods, street head, CAI, 20G turbo, but couldn’t get an ignition to work with the mods. Sucked when I had to sell it.
2.6 turbo. They didn’t offer a 2.0 turbo at that time.
Jeez, I loved the Starion and the Conquest TSi. My best friend had one and left it with me when he went to basic training. I drove the shit out of that car that summer.

It’s always great to see these cars pop up. I hope to find more so I can cruise with people when I’m done building my car. I definitely miss it.
had a friend who was a sheriffs deputy in san bernardino BITD – a county with a lot of open space.
got into a pursuit – him in a 5.0, and a starion. and he lost.
