For sale is my 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 w/ Twin Turbo AWD. Roughly 95,000 miles on the car with only a few hundred miles on a brand new Pampena motor! Also, recently repainted so it looks amazing. The leather seats are in great shape and don't have the typical wear that you find on the side of the drivers seat. Previous owner bought it from Florida and drove it back to Wisconsin. Stored winters. Never seen salt or snow! 

Previous owner did a lot of work on this car and spent thousands on new parts that now only have a few hundred miles on them. List includes: 

3.1L forged Pampena motor (over $3100)

Refreshed heads

Poly Motor Mounts

New OEM: water pump, oil pump, timing belt, timing tensioner

New 18x9 Rota G-force rims w/brand new tires ($1600)

Aftermarket aluminum radiator

Brand new stereo head unit and Boston Acoustics speakers

Aftermarket gauges in dash (above climate controls)

ECU capacitors replaced

3" 3SX downpipe and test pipe ($330)

ABS, ECS Delete

All wheel steering delete kit from Pampena Motorsports ($130)

Rear subframe bushings replaced with poly

New clutch master cylinder

Stage 4 racing clutch from 3SX and light weight flywheel ($629)

Braced transmission housing 3SX bracket ($125)

New output shaft and transfer case spool - stronger than stock ($419)

3SX Pre-turbo intake piping (red) ($99)

3SX Spark plug wires ($69)

HKS Blow-off valve

Brand new 99' lifters

Brand new power steering pump

Drilled and slotted rotors

New window tint

 

As you can see, a lot of time and money invested in this car. It runs great, sounds excellent running. I'm sure I am forgetting to mention some of the little improvements and upgrades like the Pampena plate that covers the spark plug wires on the valve cover or the 3SX oil cap. Oh, the pop-up headlights work perfectly too which is very cool. 

Now for the things that still need some work. 

The speedometer doesn't work. Local shop said $30 to diagnose this but I haven't had the time to drop it off there yet. It's probably the speed sensor either disconnected or needing to be replaced but I'm not sure. 

The e-brake handle welds that hold it in have broken off from the previous owner. Sounds weird but it apparently is a common problem from what I read on the forums. The e-brake handle is included with the car and just needs to be welded in or re-bolted into the car. 

The stereo surround plate that goes around the radio is missing. $25 on 3SX website. 

The rear windshield wiper has been removed and the radio antenna was removed. Both were replaced with black rubber plugs.

 

Overall, an awesome car that has had a lot of time and attention given to it. Ready to drive around today or a project you can continue. With some fuel system upgrades and bigger turbos you could have a real beast of a car. Leaving it as-is and you have a great ride that will turn heads everywhere you go. 

If you are looking for a VR4, look no further as you won't find one with a new Pampena motor and all of these other maintenance items done to it. 

You could spend less and have faded paint, worn out seats, and wonder when your ECU's capacitors will start to leak. OR you can spend more and buy one with huge turbos and NOS and wonder when your transfer case and axles will go. 

This car is the perfect balance between stock and performance. This one is well cared for. 

Happy bidding. Any questions, I will do my best to answer. Email me at dnolan16@att.net 

$500 deposit required within 48 Hours of auction end. Balance due within 7 days. 

Do not bid unless you intend to buy. 

Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.

I can have someone available anytime to assist with the pick up process if giving proper notice and details.   

Car is sold as-is, no warranty. VIN JA3BN74K6PY037563

2017 Mitsubishi Model Year Preview and Updates

Fri, Mar 3 2017

This 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.

Employee warned Mitsubishi execs about mileage cheating in 2005

Fri, Aug 5 2016

A damning report from the committee brought in to investigate Mitsubishi's alleged fuel economy fixing scandal has revealed a new employee stepped forward and implored the company to play it straight on its mileage data... Eleven years ago. The employee, identified in the report as F, pushed for honesty during a company workshop in February 2005, The Asahi Shimbun reports. The then-new worker told 20 company officials, including senior members of the performance testing department, that the way Mitsubishi measured fuel economy was different from the way government's method. Instead of acting on F's protests, officials said they had no memory of them, the report claims. The four-person committee, made up of lawyers and industry experts, isn't buying the excuse. "It is difficult to accept their explanations that they have no recollections because a new employee pointing out such a problem must have had a (strong) impact," the report read. But F's comments weren't the only internal sign that Mitsubishi allegedly ignored. In a 2011 questionnaire, multiple employees submitted responses claiming that the company had been falsifying data. But according to the committee's report, Mitsubishi's development department issued a report denying there was even a problem, which the company's execs accepted without question. According to The Asahi Shimbun, Mitsubishi CEO Osamu Masuko revealed that an internal investigation – which also denied F's remarks – acknowledged that the company hadn't followed government rules regarding fuel economy measurements since 1991. "We lacked unity needed to detect problems within the company and to solve them," Masuko-san said, backing up the committee report's claim that the company was divided. "From now on, we need to decide how to change our way of thinking."
