Easy on the newbie remember where he's from. There's probably more rally cars over there than you can shake a stick at, not going to dog on the guy for trying something different but yes get the RWD stuff sorted first then worry about going fast.

LMFAO /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif (Seriously I just spat my tea all over the monitor!!!)
But being from Oregon isn't justification for being such a miserable cynical bastard either /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Amen to that. Next thing you know, this guy will have one of the nicest Galants in northern Europe and all he'll do is roll it in and out of the garage to take pictures of $20 grille mods or talk about skiing all the goddamned time or something.

You can transplant a 4g63 into a starion but it doesn't come with one.
Does if you're in Japan /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
And not just Japan.. Australia, New Zealand, rest of Europe... basically it was just the US who missed out on the 4G63 powered Starions. Just because it doens't exist in the US doesn't mean it doesn't exist at all. The world != US.

To add, at one point, though it may have just been for the Rally car, There was a AWD Starion at one point.

Technically it was 4x4. 50/50 torque split using a Pajero transfer case after the trans.

Dude. Nice one, Brian L.!
So the 4WD Starion used a Pajero 4WD tcase. Has there ever been any discussion 'round these parts on other Mitsu tcases? Montero, perhaps?

Thats absolutly HALARIOUS /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif
and it's true.
drifting is like surfing, as a competition it's abit b/s, but it's fun for it's own sake.

It used pajero (or montero to you guys) gear because the engine was mounted north/south like the Pajero, the transfer case was behind the tail shaft of the transmission and then sent power up to a separate front diff mounted just ahead of the sump via a small driveshaft to the side of the engine. The engine was set back a bit into the firewall too. It was basically a factory backed 'after-thought' modification, the Starion chassis was never designed to be anything other than RWD in the first place.
The there was the 4WD Cordia.. this time it was a factory produced to the public 'after-thought' modication.

4x4 should have a low range in the transfer case, fwiw....

True, I guess technically the term is 4WD. (as opposed to AWD)
I've toyed with the idea of modifying a starion to be AWD with a DSM or Evo drivetrain. It'd be a lot of fabrication for the front suspension and hubs. No one has done it AFAIK. But IMO wouldn't be TOO much harder than an LS or 302 swap, which has been done.
To do what the Group B car would have been would be a lot more work.
