I have decided it's time to sell my '93 3000GT VR4. I bought this car
4 years ago. I bought it because I'd
always wanted a VR4 and the AWD was going to be useful where I lived at the time. I bought it from an older gentleman who had too many toys and
kept the car 100% stock. The car had about 138k when I bought it, and
now has 174k (it's a daily driver, so miles will continue to go up). It's been my daily driver in that time period and very
reliable. At about 147k I took the car down for a few months to do some significant work on the car, including new oil pump, new timing belt, new (upgraded) turbos, new (upgraded) radiator, new (upgraded) lifters, and some other items. The car runs great, starts every time, has tons
of new parts, and has been very reliable for me. It has always been adult driven and never
raced. I'm the first person to modify it, and my goal was to make a fun, reliable, and enjoyable daily driver that could keep the commute fun rather than dull. I have succeeded in this goal, and it is a car that makes a great daily driver but could easily be taken to the track to race! The car came from Texas before I
bought it and has no rust. The AC is ice cold and is
still R12! I run 15 psi boost, but the car rarely sees above 3500 RPM
and even more rarely sees full boost. Like I said, it's adult driven and conservatively so.
I am deciding to sell it primarily because I want a change in my fun car to something different. 4 years is about as long as I live with a car before being ready for something else. I have taken excellent mechanical care of the car as it's my daily driver. It's always received what it needs, and I took parts breaking as an opportunity to upgrade the car further. First, list of upgrades and notable repairs/new parts: -PMP FMIC with hard piping -K&N FIPK -HKS SSQV3 on recirculate (the right way so the car still runs properly) -HID headlights -Mushimoto aluminum radiator -New cooling hoses -3SX solid shifter bushings (at the shifter and the transmission - significantly improves shifts) -15G turbo chargers running 15 PSI boost (adjustable via boost controller) -3mm lifters (significantly quiets down the valvetrain) -550 cc injectors -A'Pex-i S-AFC Fuel controller -A'Pex-i AVC-R Boost controller -Chrome ECU (flashable ECU that you can tune with a $100 computer adapter) -Hotwired Walbro 255 lph fuel pump -Optima battery -TEC Front Strut Tower Brace -New inner and outer tie rods (Moog brand - the best!) -PST 1-piece carbon fiber driveshaft -Seats recovered at ~130k, new floor mats ~160k -One layer of Dynamat under carpeting, in doors, and in trunk (significantly reduces road noise) -Megan Racing Coilovers (and adjustable rear upper control arms) -Downpipe (no cats) to 3" Cherry Bomb muffler to dual exhaust (active exhaust delete) -Solid rear subframe bushings -Solid diff bushings -AWS delete -Addco rear anti-roll bar -New windshield washer reservoir and pump -New shift knob and hand brake lever (~160k) -Steering wheel recovered and thickened (~160k) -Includes set of four studded snow tires mounted on Stealth rims - this car is amazing in snow! -New alternator (~165k) -EGR delete -Vacuum reduction -Car actually has the sunroof cover, which is very rare! -Fuel filter upgraded to Summit Racing filter with -6AN lines -Custom short-throw shifter, really improves shifts -New OEM set of ignition coil packs -MSD 8.5mm ignition wires (done at 147k) -Iridium plugs (done at 147k) -Oil pump replaced (done at 147k) -Timing belt, pulleys, and tensioners (done at 147k) -3SX aluminum crank pulley (improves responsiveness of engine) -Accessory belts replaced (done at 147k) -New wheel bearings at all four wheels -EBC "Red Stuff" brake pads -3SX Braided Stainless brake hoses -3SX FMOC -The car has two new keys purchased from 3SX - one factory key and their "Metal with Red Diamonds" key I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but that's most of it. Now for the bad: -The car does leak oil, just like all of them. I add about a quart every 1500 miles, which is not bad for one of these cars -The car has a minor coolant seep somewhere, I think from the overflow tank. I find I put a bit of coolant in about once every 2-4 weeks. I see minor green stains on the transmission, I just haven't been able to isolate the leak. It's been like this for a long time and has not gotten any worse -The car could use some body attention. The paint on the hood and front fenders is fading, and the car has a clear bra on it that on the hood and headlights is completely cracked. I got it off the bumper fine, but a body shop needs to get it off the hood and headlights. Also, at one point the door side panel popped off and when opening the door it damaged the front fender. I never did it because I was going to wait until I finished the mechanical upgrades I wanted to do -The car needs tires, badly. So I will put $300 towards a set of whatever new tires you want for the car and get them mounted, balanced, and a fresh alignment before you take delivery -I did the tinting on the front two windows. I am not good at doing tinting. It's functional, but not done well. If you want it to look beautiful you should have the tinting redone I'm happy to help with transport and we can negotiate that. As you can see from the list of work done to the car, the parts alone easily are worth more than the car as a whole. In my opinion put new tires and alignment on it, and it's a great daily driver. Or take it to a body shop for a bit of work and it'll be a great and beautiful daily driver. Most cars are neglected by their owners for a while because they're thinking about selling it. I am not that way at all, and have decided only recently to sell the car. While the car does have high mileage, you will not find one that has been taken mechanical care of this meticulously for under $15,000. This car is sold as-is, where-is. Please ask all questions regarding assistance you'd like from me regarding delivery before buying. Feel free to contact me with any questions either through eBay or by phone at 812-243-2585. Cash or wire transfer only is accepted. Thanks for looking! |

2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs. small crossover SUVs: How they compare on paper
Fri, Feb 23 2018In the midst of the crossover SUV boom, each traditional size segment has become saturated. As a result, automakers are beginning to fill the gaps that separate classes, giving us some interesting in-between options. The all-new 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross jumps right into one of those in-between categories bookended by compact and subcompact crossovers. It's a niche that offers more space and feature content than the smallest vehicles, with an extra dose of style and a lower price than bigger ones. Because of the Eclipse Cross' in-between nature, though, there's not really an obvious direct competitor. As such, we've selected a diverse group of small crossovers that are similar to the Eclipse Cross in some but not all key areas: size, price, feature content, style and likely buyers. The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, 2018 Toyota C-HR and 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport each have elements in common, but are different enough to provide useful points of comparison. A chart of specifications and key standard features is shown below, followed by more in-depth analysis. And if you wish to compare these crossovers with others not listed, be sure to check out our comparison tools. Engines and Drivetrains One of the Eclipse Cross' biggest advantages in this segment will be its engine. Subcompact crossovers, including the other three we've chosen, are sluggish to say the least. This new Mitsubishi should be different as it packs a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that belts out a whopping 184 pound-feet of torque. We say whopping, because the C-HR, Crosstrek and Rogue Sport all have between 139 and 147 pound-feet. Horsepower is similarly unimpressive at just 152 horsepower - the same as the Crosstrek - but that torque should make passing and on-ramp runs much more satisfying. The appeal of crossovers for many people is the availability of all-wheel-drive, and this is where the Subaru gets an advantage. Like with all Subarus that aren't a BRZ, the Crosstrek has standard all-wheel drive. The Mitsubishi comes close, making all-wheel drive standard on every trim level except the very base ES trim level. On the Rogue Sport, all-wheel drive is an option on all trim levels. Depending on where you live, though, being able to have front drive on a high-trim crossover could be a plus because it will save some money and improve fuel economy. The C-HR loses this battle as it's only available with front-wheel drive.
Mitsubishi reveals Delica D:5 off-road van and 'concept' crossovers ahead of Tokyo Auto Salon
Fri, Dec 28 2018It's easy to forget Mitsubishi still makes some cool vehicles. If you look past the mirage however, you'll find vehicles like the Delica D:5 van. Mitsubishi is on its way to the Tokyo Auto Salon with a concept version of this Delica, alongside an Outlander PHEV and Eclipse Cross, with both SUVs claiming the name "Street Sport." We're all weird, so it stands to reason that the off-road-looking Delica D:5 excites us the most. While the normal Delica D:5 is now more of a van with SUV ride height, this one comes with a full suite of plastic body cladding for protection around the front and rear of the van. A heavy-duty roof rack and row of LED lights up top give it the roof of a true overlander. Some bars on the sides and bright red mud flaps hint even further that this should be taken off the pavement. What Mitsu doesn't talk about is an upgraded suspension. Granted, the Delica D:5 already looks lifted and ready for some moderate trail work, but a full-on rock crawler van would have been epic. The standard all-wheel drive system with four-wheel drive lock will have to do for now. For cars sold in the states, Mitsubishi brought some tarted-up versions of the Outlander PHEV and Eclipse Cross. Both SUVs feature similar design language, as they try to look sportier than their powertrains give away. Yellow accents along with blacked-out everything and some stickers are really the selling points here. Meaning, there isn't much, if anything, to get excited about with these "concepts." They're more sticker packages than anything, and don't give us much hope for anything fun coming stateside. For now, all we have are the individual pictures of each car. More will come once they officially break cover at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January. Related video:
Mitsubishi Mirage bows in Montreal without a name, Canadian sales promised
Sun, 20 Jan 2013The Detroit Auto Show had plenty of major debuts for North American car buyers, but the Montreal Auto Show is being used for the North American debut of a new subcompact hatchback from Mitsubishi. Although this car is unnamed, it is almost identical to the redesigned Mirage we saw back at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show (and has been on sale in Asian markets such as Thailand since last year), but it is unclear if the car will carry this name when it goes on sale for our neighbors to the north starting this fall.
Aside from a slightly less annoying shade the of green we saw the car painted in at the Tokyo show, there are a few changes made for the car's Canadian debut. The biggest difference is that it is almost three inches longer, which is likely a result of the new rear fascia that is also visually different with some altered lines and small, circular reflectors. Other changes include a bigger three-cylinder engine (with a 1.2-liter displacement instead of the Tokyo car's 1.0-liter engine) and headlights that have new amber lenses for side reflectors.
There is still no word as to whether or not we'll see this new car in Mitsubishi's US lineup anytime soon, but it does seem like a good competitor against cars like that Mazda2, Chevrolet Spark and Hyundai Accent.
