The track is the same. The widebody starions just ran wider rims to fill the guards.

cheers for the info on the track, I have always had a soft spot for the starion, my "uncle" owned one fresh form the showroom back in the early eighties, he poured a heap of money into the bugger, owning it for years, in fact I believe it is still floating around in the family, he absolutely loved it. For its time it was a gun little car.

edit forgot to add that the car looks great, could be turned into a fun circuit car with a bit of cash thrown at it.

I love those things. Saw a fair few while I was living in the States. They are free over there. So is anything that age though.

widebody

Very very very rare. Awesome car. Enuff said.

I have seen 2 widebodies advertised in the trading post - both were around $25,000. Both were gone within a week. Unfortunately, I had to settle for a rusted out POS narrowbody

The widebody Starion...
It will be mine, one day....



Hmmm...VERY interesting...

*Wonders*

EDIT: click the small blue "Star Lyon" hyper link on the yahoo Japan page to see three other widebodies going for auction - all in black and manual. *DROOOL*

we love our starions!

[DaiOni]

why does nobody use its correct name?!!!

COLT starion, thankyouverymuch :D

[RedSuns]

Very cool. One of the only mitsubishi's I'd want to own.

[NXTIME]

COLT Starion??

Please explain.

[Captiva Fan]

Probably like other things in Japan, lots of name games over there, more so in the 80's of course. Aren't there, in a similar sense, Corolla Truenos & Corolla Sprinters along with Truenos & Sprinters? They probably liked the Colt nameplate, and sold a few cars, so started calling everything a 'Colt'.

[PS. I've now seen the widebody in Seinfeld, parked in the Yankees' car-park ... exactly the same colour as the one in the photos that 1200det started this thread with ]

[DaiOni]

Colt Starion was the european release name - apparently they have some sort of affinity with the colt name over there.

IIRC, everywhere else it was plain ol' 'starion' (japlish? stallion?)

just thought I'd throw a bit of (mildly insulting) trivia into the pot :p

[CussCuss]

forg, truenos and levins had different headlights, and sprinters were either not in japan, or were ae85's.
And babelfish japlish translation is "Star Lyon"
