1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt Vr4 Twin Turbo Awd 450 Hp Adult Driven on 2040-cars
Hamilton, Ohio, United States
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! |

Mitsubishi boss confirms new Mirage for US; i EV enduring dismal sales
Mon, 12 Nov 2012
By March, Mitsubishi expects to have sold just 55,000 cars in the US this fiscal year. That's a tiny sum - by comparison, Honda has sold over 276,000 Civic models thus far this year - and that's just one vehicle, not an entire brand. Mitsubishi president Osamu Masuko recognizes this is not a tenable position, and he's hoping the company will shift 80,000 units next fiscal year. Warding off speculation, Masuko has repeatedly stated that his company will not retreat from the US market like competitor Suzuki.
We reported on one part of Masuko's plan, the updated Outlander, and now he has confirmed that the small Mirage will be sold in the US beginning next September. The cut-price hatchback is selling well enough that Mitsu's Thailand plant is at its full capacity of 150,000 cars. "And even at that level it's not keeping up with orders," Masuko tells Automotive News. Masuko went on to say the plant would be expanded next year to handle an extra 50,000 units. We can also expect the Outlander plug-in early 2014.
2017 Mitsubishi Model Year Preview and Updates
Fri, Mar 3 2017This ain't your father's Mitsubishi. And for those focused more on 'economy' than 'Evo', that's probably a good thing. The Evolution is no more, Mitsubishi's truck-tough Montero is no longer sold in the States, and the Mirage sedan and hatch serve as little more than price holders in a constricted lineup. With that, sales are up and Mitsubishi is working hard on a revamp of its entire lineup. The newest addition comes this fall in the form of a small crossover, the 2018 Eclipse Cross, pictured above. MITSUBISHI i-MIEV: The least expensive EV available in the US market obtains an optional navigation package. The nav unit includes a seven-inch touch screen, Fuse hands-free link, USB port, rearview camera and steering wheel controls. LANCER: The Lancer lives, albeit without the mojo intrinsic to the high-performance Evo, now discontinued. For '17 a rear camera is standard on the small four door, along with new wheels and an optional Sun and Sound package. MIRAGE: Mitsu's entry-level hatch and sedan receive an aggressive refresh for 2017, with an enhanced exterior (new front fascia, hood, grille and wheels), a bump in horsepower and improved suspension. Also, two new colors are added: Wine Red and Sunrise Orange. OUTLANDER SPORT: While awaiting an all-new Sport, Mitsubishi's compact crossover adds automatic climate control, upgraded seat fabric and – as announced at this year's Chicago Auto Show – a Limited Edition trim. OUTLANDER: Mitsubishi's large three-row crossover receives a new, entry-level All-Wheel Control 4WD system and enhanced technology.
Mitsubishi teases new compact crossover that could be called Eclipse
Tue, Jan 24 2017Does the world need another compact crossover? No, not really. But Mitsubishi could certainly use another vehicle in the hottest segment in America. And the Japanese automaker is about to show off a brand-new model at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show that will slot between the Outlander Sport and the larger Outlander. Rumors suggest that this new compact crossover might revive a well-known name from the past: Eclipse. While that's undeniably better than a random series of numbers or letters, or another riff on the Outlander moniker, Mitsubishi would surely alienate some of its hardcore fans by christening a CUV with the name of an old sport coupe. Here's hoping those rumors stay exactly that. Moving past the potentially controversial name, what we're looking at is a pretty conventional coupe-like two-box shape. The sloping roofline looks current, and the steeply raked rear glass adds a sporty flare. We've got a little over a month before we see the new 'ute in all its glory, and probably about a year before it's in US showrooms. In the meantime, check out the dark teaser above or click to enlarge it down below. Related Video:
