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

9,800-mile 2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX MR likely to set a record on Bring a Trailer

Fri, Oct 18 2019

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution may be gone from the U.S. market, but it is not forgotten. And it's clear that for some fans, the passion for the rally-inspired Mitsu burns as brightly as ever. We saw that a delivery-miles example can crack the six-figure mark, when this 2006 Evo IX MR with 9 miles on the clock fetched just shy of $138k on eBay. Now, it looks like we're about to find out how high is up for a driven but still low-miles car — with 9,800 miles on the odometer — as this pristine 2006 Lancer Evolution IX MR on Bring a Trailer has already garnered bids of $35k with six days still to go. The BaT car is the same year and model as the $138k eBay example. It features the SE appearance package and is finished in Apex Silver Metallic. The MR trim level included an aluminum roof panel (with vortex generators at the trailing edge), HID headlamps, and auxiliary gauges, and aluminum trim inside. The SE appearance package featured a revised front spoiler, dark-finish BBS wheels, and red contrast stitching on the seats. The car, which is being sold by a dealer in Colorado Springs, appears to be unmodified. A 2006 Evo IX MR with 25,000 miles sold for $37,787 back in June on BaT, and a 2006 Evo IX SE with 4,000 miles brought $36,916 in October 2018. This car seems certain to smash those numbers.

Not a dry eye in the house for last Mitsubishi Evo X video

Fri, Oct 2 2015

Say what you will about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution; we're going to miss this one when it's gone. Japan's rally car for the street is officially being phased out, and production is ending in Japan. But not before one Final Edition, and a final video showing the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive wonder being built. In Japan, the Final Edition is limited to a run of just 1,000 units. It's based on the GSR model with the five-speed manual transmission, but comes with performance goodies like Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Recaro seats, Brembo brakes, and more. See it for yourself in the gallery, below. Over the course of 23 years, there have been 10 generations of the Lancer Evolution. And while Evo X might not be our favorite (this author much prefers Evo IX, for what it's worth), it's still sad to see Mitsubishi's iconic, winged sedan head to the grave. A sign of the times, Mitsubishi says the Evo "will be replaced in spirit" by a high-power, hybrid SUV. That's a tall order, and doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but we'll see. For now, say goodbye to the Evo X by watching the final production video, above. And just be thankful Subaru still makes its lovely WRX STI.

2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 3

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

The third practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is done. While the other classes got running time on the middle and top sections of the course, qualifying times were set on the bottom section of the course for the Open, Open Wheel, Electric, Exhibition and Vintage classes.
Everyone managed to keep it on the black stuff today, Greg Tracy setting the fastest time ahead of Hiroshi Masuoka, both men driving the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution II four-wheel-drive prototype. Not even half a second behind Masuoka came Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima in his Monster Sport E-Runner, who has taken about 18 seconds off his time since the first practice day. Rod Millen was the fourth fastest on the day in his Toyota TMG EV POO2.
Topping the Open Wheel class was Clint Vahsholtz, followed by Donner Billingsley, Andy Figueroa and Rodney O'Maley. The only driver in that class not to be given a time today was Dan Novembre. Kenshiro Gushi took the Exhibition class today as his Lexus IS F CCS-R made it up the mountain in 4:27.248, followed by Sage Marie in the Honda CR-Z at 5:19.591. Simon Pagenaud and his Honda Odyssey weren't classified.
