Remember the Starion?
The 1983 Starion had a semi-digital dash.
My friend who owns the car in the video I posted swapped in the full 1985 digital dash.
We actually drove 3 of these across the country several years ago..it was great!
Here's a few pictures of ones Ive owned.
1988 Mitsubishi Starion 5spd, freshly rebuilt everything..
This is the exact same car above, but the new owner painted it.
Motor I built for that car.
1989 Chrysler Conquest
1990 Dodge Daytona 2.5 turbo I used to have.

My brother had an 88 Starion, but I don't recall it having any digital guages 
It seemed like a car that was ahead of it's time for those days. I believe it came with a stainless steel exhaust system as OEM if I'm not mistaken....

It did after the downpipe/cat combo...This was the first mod I did...Hammered out the honeycomb of the cat. Then hollowed the second cat. Never threw a code. Ran much much better. Drilled eight or so holes into the air can. Got rid of the rubber turbo hoses, for hard pipes...Night and day.
My father had a red one with the louvers on the back window. I always thought those louvers were ugly. It was a fun car to sneak off with as a teen though. (ha ha)
I guess the fun I had in that car laid the foundation for me to get the AWD Twin Turbo Stealth R/T (the later Mitsu/Dodge sports car) I bought years later (and still have.)

Digital dash was discontinued after the 85 or 86 model year.

That airbox was a b4stard, I remember using a hole saw in my kitchen - it was loud as all hell trying to cut through that (the airbox is a metal cylinder for those who haven't had the pleasure of dealing with it)

I actually just sold my sc400 project for a 1988 Chrysler Conquest and a 1988 Mitsu Starion (parts car). Absolutely love it. Here are a few pictures, all of them are in the link below.
