  Completely stock when I bought it 8 years ago, this car has consumed almost all of my extra money when I was in my early 20's. Well I'm now 30 I own a more practical car as well as a fast motorcycle and would like some cash for a house. I have around 15k invested in it but we all know its impossible to get it all back. First of all before I list all the mods (will probably forget some) the chassis it self was never in an accident and was originally purchased In Arizonia. It is COMPLETLY rust free. The paint however is faded and the hood, roof and top of passenger rear fender where the paint was faded the worst have been spray painted.

Body : 

Sound deadening removed/no ac

Tanabe sustec pro coil overs (set up to near max ride height, can go much lower if that's what you're into) 

Nismo power brace

Tomei 2 way dif (one of the most recent additions, cost over $850 still needs to be broken in)

Energy suspension polyurethane rear subframe inserts

Upgraded speakers incl custom brackets to fit sony 6x9's in rear (used to have subs but were sold years ago)

Hood has real Aerocatch lockable hood latches (a nice security feature) as well as fully integrated vents

New optima battery relocated to rear. Can easily trip the circuit breaker when storing or working on car

Dash was cracked but I meticulously removed all the foam and sanded and painted the bare plastic

Bare carbon fiber front bumper (never got around to painting it)

Rear bumper support was changed to an aluminum one from a Saturn (can see it in the pic, this was a ~20lb weight savings alone)

Rear spoiler was rescued from pic a part, came off a dodge but fits the car very well. Also much lighter than the stock cracked one!

Tein front strut tower bar (the cheap alien bolts that came with this were removed in favor of larger grade 8 hardware)

DC sports rear strut tower bar

Carbon fiber mirrors

Engine/Drivetrain :

1995 blacktop sr20det very low mi. on engine, just recently changed the oil (full syn mobile one 10w30)

Car does not leak any fluids and never overheats even in the hottest summer weather here in Las Vegas

XTD 6 puck copper ceramic clutch (only mod I regret doing as the original clutch was damn near perfect, I will include the stock clutch in the sale. This xtd clutch is like an on/off switch.)

Driveshaft shop brand 1piece steel driveshaft

Nismo motor mounts

Cx racing intercooler

Real HKS blow off valve

Upgraded Koyo copper radiator with the proper jdm fan shroud.

Samco radiator hoses

Ebay boost valve (not fully hooked up, the car has never been run over 7 lbs of boost btw)

3" exhaust

Apex power fc (also have a Q45 maf not installed that will come with the car)

Hi flow fuel pump

Wheels :

5zigen fn01rc, 17x7 and 17x8 (these are very lightweight but not the most aggressive fitment)

Plenty of life on the tires, 215/40/17 and 245/40/17

Stock size cross drilled rotors, pads still have lots of life on them as well

Alignment was done when the coilovers were installed and is set at negative 2.5 degrees front and negative 1.5 rear ( car has adjustable front camber plates and rear has been set with the stock eccentric bolts)

                                                                               AND MUCH MORE THAN I CAN REMEMBER

 Car is very light (probably sub 2,500 lb) and quick but I have been spoiled by my Kawasaki Ninja so it will never feel that fast to me. Mechanically it needs nothing and will still get decent gas mileage with all these mods. Legally speaking it could use some brighter headlights, one of the rear taillights is out, and the front windshield has a small crack that has continued to grow over the years. You could easily buy some dynamat, new carpet, get it repainted and have a nice daily OR add the Q45 maf I'm including along with a larger turbo then get it retuned and have a very fast car.

Ghosn: Restoring Mitsubishi's reputation is biggest challenge

Thu, May 12 2016

After news that Mitsubishi falsified its fuel economy data on every vehicle it has sold in Japan since 1991, and the tumble in the company's value that followed, the troubled carmaker has an unlikely savior. Nissan has confirmed it will purchase over one third of Mitsubishi's stock, or 34 percent. The stake is valued at $2.2 billion. Ghosn says making Mitsubishi a part of the Renault-Nissan alliance will save billions in development costs. But the merger certainly isn't without challenges. "The biggest challenge is to support Mitsubishi changing itself and growing and being profitable and restoring its reputation," said Ghosn. Nissan is a natural partner for Mitsubishi, and since the fuel economy scandal escalated from discrepancies in the data regarding Mitsubishi-manufactured, Nissan-badged Japan-market vehicles, it makes sense for the company to sweep in and save the day. Nissan itself is partially owned by Renault, and Nissan has a 15-percent stake in the French automaker. Mitsubishi's chairman, Osamu Masuko says that the merger was inevitable, that it "would have happened one day" anyway, according to the New York Times. Carlos Ghosn, chairman of both Nissan and Renault, is confident they will be able to turn Mitsubishi's fortunes around. "We have the track record to make it work", Ghosn said, referring to the Renault-funded rescue of Nissan in the early 2000s. Related Video:

Nissan could have bought a stake in Aston Martin as early as 2012

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

Aston Martin has a very interesting future ahead of it. While the British brand appeared to be struggling with aging tech for a while, fresh investment from Daimler may have shown a light toward the future with the brand getting engines and electronics from them. Also, former Renault-Nissan top exec Andy Palmer has jumped ship from the French/Japanese automaker to become CEO of the much smaller sports car company. Interestingly, though, new reports from unnamed Nissan sources have indicated that Palmer has been pushing to work with AM for years.
Three unnamed company insiders told Reuters that Palmer made attempts to convince Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2012 and 2013 to invest in Aston Martin, but his proposals were shot down both times for unspecified reasons, according to Automotive News. "We looked carefully at the proposal but we passed on it," said one of the sources.
You can easily see why Palmer was eying Aston Martin even back in 2012. It's no secret that the British sports car mavens were in need of extra funding, well before the Daimler investment. Building vehicles these days is only getting more expensive with stronger safety and emissions requirements. Just look at the brand's desperate hope to get a side-impact crash exemption to keep selling its models in the US as an example.

Nissan Leaf becomes least expensive 5-seat EV with massive price drop

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

In a roundtable interview today at the North American International Auto Show, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced a $6,400 price drop for the base-model 2013 Nissan Leaf. Last year's base model was $35,200, while the new base-level 2013 Leaf S starts at $28,800. Ghosn says the new prices make the Leaf the least expensive five-seater electric for sale in the US.
Some of the lower cost is due to a difference in content from last year's low-end model to this year's. But a sizable portion can be chalked up to the Leaf's production moving from Japan to Tennessee. The 2013 Leaf is not only assembled in the US now, but its lithium-ion batteries and the car's electric motors are manufactured in the same southern state.
The Leaf SV will be priced from $31,820 for 2013 compared to $35,200 last year. The high-end Leaf SL now starts at $34,840, down from the 2012 model's $37,250. These models also have differences in content. One big one is a new 6.6-kWh charger that reduces charging times pretty dramatically.
