I have a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4 Twin Turbo All Wheel Drive for sale. This car was checked over by Ace Automotive Empire in St. Joseph Missouri and everything that wasn't up to par was fixed. They installed a brand new clutch and a brand new turbo on the car just last week($2700).

The 3.0 Twin Turbocharged engine runs excellent and exactly how it should. No spits or sputters or funny noises. 
Full 120k service done at 121k miles includes- Water Pump, oil pump, timing belt, NGK sparks Plugs and Bosch wires. Valve stem seals were replaced. Heads were hot tanked and decked and a valve job was done as well. 
60k service includes- transmission replaced and transfer case serviced
HKS mushroom foam intake 
HKS turbo timer
Aluminum Flywheel(Fidanza i think)
This was all done 6k miles ago which is why this car runs so flawlessly :)

It has the very much sought after 6 speed manual transmission. This transmission shifts really good and smooth. The only complaint i have is when you shift to 2nd gear and the rpms are up higher, it has a slight grind. The syncronizer would have to be replaced to make it perfect. It's about a $200 repair if you drop the tranny off at a shop that will replace it. I can drive it without grinding it 100% of the time so i saw no need to fix it.

The interior is tan and black. In my opinion, this is the best color combination they made...Pearl White Paint with tan and black interior. The leather seats are in good shape with no rips, tears, or burns along with the rest of the interior. The drivers seat bolster has a little wear but is not torn or anything like that. I just wanted to note that it doesn't look new. 
This newer bodystyle is also the most sought after 3000gt ever made. It combines the best of sport and class all in one. The exterior of the body is also in very good shape for a car this age. Please refer to the pictures. There are no dents at all that i can see. There may be a few blemishes in the paint in the form of small rock chip etc but nothing really noticeable.

It has an aftermarket cd player and Pioneer speakers all around professionally installed that looks and works really nice.

The factory chrome wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes Performace tires all around (appx 7k miles on them) shine really nice and definitely set off the pearl white exterior. 

The windows are tinted 20% and look really nice as well. 
Sylvania Silverstar Ultra High and Low Beam Bulbs
EVO IX Metal Bypass Valve

If you're looking for a really rare car that will be worth more and more money the longer you have it, this is the car for you. These cars have become very scarce over the last few years and are becoming harder to find by the day. Of course you can find raced out and torn up 3000gts and stealths but if you're looking for an unmolested 3000gt that has been maintained with high quality replacement parts and modded conservatively while maintaining the original look, this is the car for you. If you're looking for value in a car for the money, this is the car for you.
Clean and clear title in hand. Please call if you have any questions or would like to come look at the car in person. It's located in st. joseph MO 64503.

Race Recap: 2014 Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The weather didn't interrupt the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this year, the sun staying out to shine throughout a mildly cloudy day. The crowds didn't interrupt the race, either. Last year there were incidents like the woman who leaned so far into the road that her camera tore a hole in a speeding Shelby Cobra and she had to be sent to the hospital. This year the organizers shrank the number of spectator viewing areas and put others behind fences, such that long stretches of the route were uninhabited by anything other than varmints.
The only unexpected visitor was a dusty track and what some competitors said were slightly higher temperatures that changed the amount of grip and increased times. Yet the calm let a couple of teams, like that sun, break through the clouds of past misfortune and claim victories they'd been targeting for years.

Mitsubishi expects to sell only 4,000 Outlander PHEVs in first year in US

Thu, Feb 12 2015

First, it was late 2013 or early 2014. Then it was the fall of 2014. And then it was "roughly" April 2016. Now we can strike "roughly" from the record: the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid will finally arrive in the US in April 2016. Alex Fedorak, public relations manager, Mitsubishi Motors North America, told AutoblogGreen that the company is now "confident in that date." The various delays that held up the SUV this far – including battery shortages, deciding to make the PHEV in the US the refreshed version and better-than-expected sales in Europe and Japan – have worked their way through the system, he said. "The issue was battery capacity, and the vehicle sold far better in Europe than anyone anticipated. It just takes time to build the battery. You got to buy raw materials and rethink the whole process. We're confident that it's going to be next spring." As for where the Outlander will go on sale in the US Fedorak said he did not know the initial markets for, but said it was likely the plug-in SUV would mimic the roll-out of the i-MiEV, which is now available in most states. Even with the Outlander PHEV's success overseas, the company does not expect it to be a big seller here. "It's not going to be big percentage of Outlander sales [in the US]," Fedorak said. "Our expectations are in the single-digit percentage of the total Outlander sales. It's just going to be a technology showcase for us, and we'll see what happens. If it takes off for us like it did in Europe, it'll be good news for the brand." Last year, Mistubishi sold 31,054 Outlander Sports and 13,068 Outlanders in the US. That means Mitsubishi expects to sell a maximum of 3,970 Outlander PHEVs (nine percent of 44,122 total Outlander sales) in the plug-in's first year on sale in the US. Fedorak said he doesn't think there are any specific regulatory issues that need to be solved to bring the Outlander PHEV here. Things like EPA certification and crash testing still need to be done, he said, but that's just part of the normal process now. Fedorak said he thinks there is no difference in the plug-in powertrain from the current version sold in Europe and Japan and the version that will come to the US. But the rest of the 2016 Outlander will be "much more than a facelift," he said (something we've heard before). "It's a total rethink of the chassis and the tuning of the vehicle. The NVH of the vehicle, too."Related Video:

Daimler declares success in electric truck trial [w/video]

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Last year, Daimler launched a project to see how eight Fuso Canter E-Cells performed in daily urban service in Portugal. After over 32,000 miles on the road, the newly released results showed astounding figures. Compared to their diesel-counterparts, the commercial EVs slashed operating costs by 64 percent. The trucks were also great for the environment with a 37-percent drop in CO2 emissions after taking into account how the country makes power. Daimler gave the trucks to Portuguese cities and businesses, and the users definitely didn't baby them. In Lisbon, the EV disposed of vegetation, and the Canter E-Cell collected recyclables in Porto. The one with the parcel service Transporta covered over 8,700 miles to make deliveries during the year. On average, the testers used the vehicles about 31 miles a day, but 68 miles was the record distance during the trial. "The results of the practical tests have shown that we are on the right track," Marc Llistosella, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation said in Daimler's announcement. The Daimler Trucks Centre of Competence for Hybrid Technology developed the small run of Canter E-Cells. The models ditch the usual 3.0-liter diesel in favor of an electric motor that produces 148 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Four lithium-ion battery packs with a total of 48.4 kWh are mounted to two sides of the frame. To maximize the range, the system begins recovering energy as soon as the driver lets off the throttle. Check out the video below for a look at how the Portuguese testers put the commercial EVs through their paces. This content is hosted by a third party.

Apart from the impressive savings in operating costs, the Canter E-Cell also scores points in terms of environmental aspects.
