For sale 1992 3000gt one of two soft top convertible with 65xxx miles on the odometer (car fax reports 111xxx miles but I have documentation from 3 months prior to the documented mileage stating 61xxx miles, it seems to have been an error made by a a smog tech) Car was converted by coach builders In 1992 to have a powered convertible top. This is one of the two soft top convertibles built by coach builders that was sold brand new as a soft top and the only coach builder soft top that is a vr4. For non 3000gt enthusiasts a vr4 is the top of the line model sporting a twin turbo 3.0l engine, an all wheel drive drivetrain, active exhaust, active suspension, and active aerodynamics. It also has digital climate control with two stage air conditioning. The original owner purchased this car and had a very high quality shop fabricate a metal wide body for the rear along with molding the rear bumper and having it painted Ferrari yellow. The interior boasts custom yellow face gauges along with yellow stitching on the black leather powered seats and is topped off with a yellow and black momo steering wheel and shift knob. Engine wise it is mostly stock with a few small Bolt ons such as a light weight pulley and polished piping and valve covers. Also it has Spal radiator fans. When I purchased the vehicle I removed the engine cleaned and re-sealed the engine and installed a new water pump, timing belt, hydraulic tensioner and both of the roller bearings. The transmission and transfer case and rear end were all drained and refilled with gear oil and the clutch was replaced with a stage two disk and pressure plate along with a lightweight flywheel with replaceable face (the aftermarket throw out bearing seems to rattle a bit but does not affect drive ability at all). All of the smog equipment was kept intact including all vacumn lines and cat converters. The wheels are custom made Azev wheels that were designed as a staggered fitment to go along with the wide body rear.
The car runs and drives perfect and is a blast to take out for a spin when the weather is nice. The car has been garaged for the entire 2 and a half years I have owned it.
Now for the bad
When I purchased the vehicle it had been sitting at a repo lot for about ten years. Apparently the original owner lost the vehicle along with his business and house and the car was reposed. Having sat in the elements for ten years it has its fair share of wear and tear on the paint and will need to be re-sprayed to get it back to perfect condition, along with the paint fading the rear plastic window has fallen in and would need to be replaced. I've never actually driven the car with the top up so it never bothers me but it is not intact. Also when i purchased the car I disconnected the power wire for the top due to it being located where me knee would hit it accidentally. The top still fully functions and can be hooked up to power or moved manually. The rear active aero also has a small chip in the base but I have a replacement to go with the vehicle that just needs to be paint matched.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV gets major powertrain updates, Geneva reveal

Tue, Feb 20 2018

Mitsubishi will put seven of its wares on display during press days at the Geneva Motor Show, the headliner being an updated 2019 Outlander PHEV. Engineers have upgraded the entire hybrid powertrain, starting with the switch from a 2.0-liter Otto cycle gas engine to a 2.4-liter Atkinson cycle gas engine. Mitsubishi hasn't revealed output numbers, but the carmaker promises "higher torque, smoother operation, and overall higher efficiency." Generator output, rear motor output, and lithium-ion drive battery output all go up by 10 percent, and battery capacity gets a 15 percent boost. Going off the specs on the Mitsubishi Cars site, that would take the rear motor up to 66 kWh and the battery capacity from 12 kWh to 13.8 kWh. Along with the extra battery output, the 2019 Outlander PHEV should be expected to switch into EV mode more often, and stay there longer. Two drive modes join the current programming, Sport and Snow sidling up with Normal and 4WD Lock. One must look closely to note the exterior revisions, almost all of which are up front: a new graphic on the front grille, new LED headlights, rectangular foglight bezels, and a more prominent front skid plate. A "more elaborate" two-tone, 18-inch wheel shakes things up along the flanks, a larger rear spoiler holds things down out back. We probably won't get a look at the interior until Geneva, but "new quilted fine leather upholstery, all-new hip-hugging front seats, revised switchgear, a new instrument panel, new trimming, rear A/C outlets, and more" await us. The new Outlander PHEV gets to Europe in late 2018, likely greeted with the same fever that's seen the SUV move 100,000 units there in three years. Related Video:

A realistic approach to fixing Mitsubishi

Tue, May 24 2016

There are going to be a lot of words written about what Nissan needs to do with Mitsubishi in the coming months and years in the interest of turning the brand around. After Nissan's purchase of a controlling stake in the diamond star brand, there's been more interest in Mitsubishi thanks to the potential of platform sharing and plenty of cash from Nissan-Renault to get the juices flowing again. But, while some have been doing their best to advocate for the return of the 3000GT, Evolution, and even the Starion - Many of these posts forget the reality of the market we live in today. As much as we like to look back fondly at the sports coupes of the '90s, a byproduct of the insane cash flows all the Japanese manufacturers had at the time, the reality of today puts a much greater emphasis on what is most-boring; Crossover SUVs, alongside mid-size and compact sedans. We do need to ask a fundamental question, how much Mitsubishi is enough to be able to continue to call the cars Mitsubishis? Aside from slight product revisions and reconfigurations, Mitsubishi (at least in North America) has been largely dependent on the same GS platform and 4B1 engines that date back to their long-time partnership with Chrysler (and Hyundai) in the mid '00s. Admittedly, the chassis and engines have served the company well, underpinning a wide variety of vehicles sold around the world, and seeing quite a few revisions to at least attempt to keep products competitive. But, the GS chassis is old, heavy, and severely out of date - and when matched to the underpowered 4B1 series engines - make for largely uncompetitive offerings in the market. While something like the Outlander Sport is indeed interesting compared to a Honda CR-V, it is by no means the smart choice in the segment. So, going forward, unless Mitsubishi has had a skunkworks of sorts developing their chassis and engine replacements over the past few years, what exactly are they planning to do for their bread-and-butter models? I think the straightforward answer is without a doubt the Nissan North America parts bin. With so many of their models selling well, and for the most part, are reasonably well-reviewed, it would be quite simple to adapt the chassis and powertrain to Mitsubishi's liking to create a high-volume alternative to what is currently available now.

Mitsubishi's crossover plan: New model coming to Geneva, Outlander PHEV finally on the way

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Mitsubishi announced last night that it will be concentrating on crossovers for the foreseeable future (which includes leaving the Lancer behind). That future starts at this year's Geneva show, where the company will reveal a completely new small crossover. This new vehicle, the name of which Mitsubishi didn't reveal, is planned to reach dealers in early spring of 2018. It will feature a new version of Mitsubishi's All Wheel Control (AWC) all-wheel drive and a new turbocharged engine that we're told was designed completely in-house. We expect the new crossover to share cues with recent Mitsubishi concepts, including the eX Concept and Ground Tourer, since Mitsubishi's general manager of design strategy Kazuo Yano said they will set the tone for future Mitsubishis. Don Swearingen, executive vice president and COO of Mitsubishi in North America, said this new vehicle is the "best vehicle Mitsubishi has ever produced." That may not be the tallest order given the automaker's recent models, but it's definitely a good goal. As for the size of this new crossover, it will probably be comparable to the current Outlander Sport. The plan is that the Outlander Sport and Outlander will be changing sizes in the coming years. The former will shrink and the latter will grow, leaving space in the middle for the new small crossover. There will be an awkward overlapping period, though, since we're told both Outlander flavors are scheduled for a mild refresh sometime next year that won't include size changes. The resized Outlander models will come sometime after that refresh. (If we're lucky, one will get a new name to reduce confusion, especially with a new model sitting between them.) Speaking of Outlanders, we now know when we will finally get the Outlander PHEV, a variant that has been promised and re-promised for years now. A Mitsubishi PR representative said that the plug-in hybrid crossover will be on sale in the US sometime in the next fiscal year. (For reference, Mitsubishi's current fiscal year ends this March.) Swearingen said it will also make its official debut later this year. So after many, many delays, the US will finally see Mitsubishi's plug-in crossover. We'll see if it's as big a sales success here as it is in Europe.
