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

Police search Renault headquarters as part of Ghosn probe

Wed, Jul 3 2019

PARIS — Police are searching Renault's corporate headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt, which a judicial source said was related to an ongoing investigation into ex-Renault boss Carlos Ghosn and his use of Versailles for his 2016 wedding party. L'Express magazine reported earlier on Wednesday that the search was being carried out in relation to Ghosn, who faces charges of misconduct. Ghosn has denied any wrongdoing and has been released on bail. L'Express added that French authorities were probing a wedding reception party held at the Chateau de Versailles in 2016 to mark the wedding of Ghosn to his second wife Carole, and a judicial source confirmed those elements to Reuters. Renault itself confirmed that police were searching its premises, but declined to comment on the subject of the search. "Renault confirms that a search by police is currently underway at its headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt and Renault is co-operating fully with authorities," said the company, adding that it would not make any further comment on the matter. Earlier this year, Renault said it had found evidence that it had paid part of Ghosn's wedding costs and added it would turn the investigation over to prosecutors. Ghosn's Versailles wedding party in October 2016 had already drawn public scrutiny for its opulence and Marie Antoinette-themed costumes. Government/Legal Mitsubishi Nissan Renault Carlos Ghosn

Mitsubishi fuel economy scandal will result in $1.39 billion loss

Wed, Jun 22 2016

The fuel economy scandal revealed a couple months ago will cost Mitsubishi Motors a pretty penny. According to The New York Times, the Japanese automaker predicted the fiscal year 2016 will result in a loss of 145 billion yen, or $1.39 billion. We won't know for sure until March rolls around. The prediction is even more striking when compared to Mitsubishi's performance during the last few years. It will be Mitsubishi's first reported loss in eight years. In 2014, Mitsubishi reported a global profit of $1.2 billion, which doubled the profits of the previous year, and in the spring of 2015 the US arm of the manufacturer reported its first profits in seven years – $4.18 million. For a little while there, it seemed like things were looking really good for Mitsubishi, but past flaws caught up with it. Some of the models built have had their fuel economy readings rounded by as much as 15 percent, due to the way running resistance is calculated in laboratory conditions. Nissan swept in to buy one third of Mitsubishi, and under the Renault-Nissan alliance it is likely Mitsubishi will be put on a crash course to clear its name and start turning a profit again. But the bad publicity caused by the scandal will probably mean it'll be far in the future. Related Video:
