Up for sale is a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. The vehicle is moded to 400+ hp. She’s in great shape except for the issues noted below. Top of the line for that year. Twin-Turbo (320hp stock), All-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, GETRAG 446 manual transmission, Active Aero package (see photos), leather interior and Infinity sound system with 6 disc CD changer. All four tires have greater than 75% tread and the wheels are still very clean. Title in hand. The body of the vehicle is free major dents or damage but she does have a couple of door dings, minor scratches and small bruises here and there – generally though she looks great (see photos). Interior is tan and the carpet is dirty but I used to own a 92 3000GT SL with black leather interior. The SL broke down on me years back but I removed the interior from it hoping to one day put it into this one, never got a chance but I still have the interior. It will be included if you want it to give her a black interior to go with the black exterior. CarFax is available and shows no prior accidents. Although, the rear bumper was red and painted over black at one point. It was like that when I bought it and I don’t know why that was done, the previous owner did not know why it was like that either. The upgrades to the car are: - HKS Double-Mushroom Air Filter - HKS Blow-off Valve - HKS Exhaust - HKS 60MM Peak Hold Boost Meter in the cockpit - HKS EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) a.k.a. Boost Controller - A’PEXi S-AFC II Air Flow/Fuel Converter - A’PEXi Turbo Timer - Denso Iridium IK24 Spark Plugs x6 Installation and user’s guide for the modifications will be provided. Also equipped with a Python Alarm system. Now for the issue. Two months ago I damaged piston number four and one of the two exhaust valves during a standing-start. The piston is cracked and the valve is bent. Due to the extra rich gases flowing through the EGR valve, it too has failed as indicated by the “Check Engine” light. I used an OBD to check it. The code was ‘43’ for an EGR valve flow error. Also, she has an oil leak coming from the oil pan gasket. The passenger side window does not come down. I disconnected the window control switch because, as I found out, one bushing in the window control motor had failed. I fixed it, I think, but disconnected the switch because I didn’t want to deal with taking the door panel off to fix it again. I have another window control motor and entire rail as a replacement. It will be included. The photos show that the front aero dam is torn, I am including a new replacement for it. The car still runs and in idle you cannot tell that one of the pistons is damaged. But upon accelerating or putting a load on the engine she will sputter. She can be driven around but not far and don’t expect to go fast, although she will get up to freeway speed in time. Both turbos are fully functional but the front turbo will not fully spool up, this because of the damaged piston and valve which don’t generate the proper exhaust pressure for that turbo. The price I’m asking makes this car a steal. The person(s) that take her and fixes her up will end up with a ride like few others. She stands out in the crowd and still draws attention even at her age. Before the engine got hurt she was a dream to ride. Very fast and gripped the road as though on rails. Don’t expect to drift her, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering doesn’t allow that. Except maybe in the snow. |

Mitsubishi leaving US? No, it's doubling its marketing budget
Tue, 12 Feb 2013We rarely hear any major news coming out of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) annual meeting in Orlando, FL, but Mitsubishi executives found this a fitting place to announce a big push for increased advertising here in the US. A report in Automotive News states that the struggling Japanese automaker is returning to advertising in prime time television for the first time since 2005, with the push slated to begin in June and July for the launch of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander shown above.
Despite dwindling sales and a shrinking lineup, Mitsubishi's new North American chairman, Gayu Uesugi, has said on multiple occasions that the automaker has no plans to abandon the US market. Spending extra money on marketing and advertising should be a good start to help improve sales, but a lack of fresh and competitive products is also keeping showrooms empty. Aside from the new Outlander, the AN report says that Mitsubishi spokesman Roger Yasukawa said that a "yet-to-be-named subcompact" will arrive this year, which suggests the unnamed hatchback shown below (known elsewhere as the Mirage), could be heading to the US after its North American introduction at the Montreal Auto Show last month.
10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags
Sun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is world's first production plug-in hybrid CUV [w/video]
Fri, 28 Sep 2012Though Mitsubishi first showed us the form of its 2013 Outlander in Geneva a while back, the company saved its plug-in hybrid crossover for this week's Paris Motor Show soiree.
Mitsubishi is quite proud to offer what it says is the world's first production PHEV utility vehicle, a new model that makes use of established technologies within the company. Learnings from the company's i-MiEV electric car have worked there way into a vehicle that can travel up to 55 kilometers (34 miles) on lithium-ion battery power. Two electric motors independently power the front and rear wheels of the Outlander, while the gasoline-powered engine can be used as a generator for the motors, or to power the vehicle directly. The target combined fuel economy for the Outlander PHEV is 61 km/liter, or roughly 143 miles per gallon.
The Outlander PHEV will be introduced in the Japanese market in the first part of 2013, with European and North American markets to follow on. There is no word about an on-sale date, but while you're pondering the possibilities, check out an official video by scrolling down and peruse our high-res image gallery.
