1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt Vr4 Twin Turbo Awd 450 Hp Adult Driven on 2040-cars
Hamilton, Ohio, United States
I have decided it's time to sell my '93 3000GT VR4. I bought this car
4 years ago. I bought it because I'd
always wanted a VR4 and the AWD was going to be useful where I lived at the time. I bought it from an older gentleman who had too many toys and
kept the car 100% stock. The car had about 138k when I bought it, and
now has 174k (it's a daily driver, so miles will continue to go up). It's been my daily driver in that time period and very
reliable. At about 147k I took the car down for a few months to do some significant work on the car, including new oil pump, new timing belt, new (upgraded) turbos, new (upgraded) radiator, new (upgraded) lifters, and some other items. The car runs great, starts every time, has tons
of new parts, and has been very reliable for me. It has always been adult driven and never
raced. I'm the first person to modify it, and my goal was to make a fun, reliable, and enjoyable daily driver that could keep the commute fun rather than dull. I have succeeded in this goal, and it is a car that makes a great daily driver but could easily be taken to the track to race! The car came from Texas before I
bought it and has no rust. The AC is ice cold and is
still R12! I run 15 psi boost, but the car rarely sees above 3500 RPM
and even more rarely sees full boost. Like I said, it's adult driven and conservatively so.
I am deciding to sell it primarily because I want a change in my fun car to something different. 4 years is about as long as I live with a car before being ready for something else. I have taken excellent mechanical care of the car as it's my daily driver. It's always received what it needs, and I took parts breaking as an opportunity to upgrade the car further. First, list of upgrades and notable repairs/new parts: -PMP FMIC with hard piping -K&N FIPK -HKS SSQV3 on recirculate (the right way so the car still runs properly) -HID headlights -Mushimoto aluminum radiator -New cooling hoses -3SX solid shifter bushings (at the shifter and the transmission - significantly improves shifts) -15G turbo chargers running 15 PSI boost (adjustable via boost controller) -3mm lifters (significantly quiets down the valvetrain) -550 cc injectors -A'Pex-i S-AFC Fuel controller -A'Pex-i AVC-R Boost controller -Chrome ECU (flashable ECU that you can tune with a $100 computer adapter) -Hotwired Walbro 255 lph fuel pump -Optima battery -TEC Front Strut Tower Brace -New inner and outer tie rods (Moog brand - the best!) -PST 1-piece carbon fiber driveshaft -Seats recovered at ~130k, new floor mats ~160k -One layer of Dynamat under carpeting, in doors, and in trunk (significantly reduces road noise) -Megan Racing Coilovers (and adjustable rear upper control arms) -Downpipe (no cats) to 3" Cherry Bomb muffler to dual exhaust (active exhaust delete) -Solid rear subframe bushings -Solid diff bushings -AWS delete -Addco rear anti-roll bar -New windshield washer reservoir and pump -New shift knob and hand brake lever (~160k) -Steering wheel recovered and thickened (~160k) -Includes set of four studded snow tires mounted on Stealth rims - this car is amazing in snow! -New alternator (~165k) -EGR delete -Vacuum reduction -Car actually has the sunroof cover, which is very rare! -Fuel filter upgraded to Summit Racing filter with -6AN lines -Custom short-throw shifter, really improves shifts -New OEM set of ignition coil packs -MSD 8.5mm ignition wires (done at 147k) -Iridium plugs (done at 147k) -Oil pump replaced (done at 147k) -Timing belt, pulleys, and tensioners (done at 147k) -3SX aluminum crank pulley (improves responsiveness of engine) -Accessory belts replaced (done at 147k) -New wheel bearings at all four wheels -EBC "Red Stuff" brake pads -3SX Braided Stainless brake hoses -3SX FMOC -The car has two new keys purchased from 3SX - one factory key and their "Metal with Red Diamonds" key I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but that's most of it. Now for the bad: -The car does leak oil, just like all of them. I add about a quart every 1500 miles, which is not bad for one of these cars -The car has a minor coolant seep somewhere, I think from the overflow tank. I find I put a bit of coolant in about once every 2-4 weeks. I see minor green stains on the transmission, I just haven't been able to isolate the leak. It's been like this for a long time and has not gotten any worse -The car could use some body attention. The paint on the hood and front fenders is fading, and the car has a clear bra on it that on the hood and headlights is completely cracked. I got it off the bumper fine, but a body shop needs to get it off the hood and headlights. Also, at one point the door side panel popped off and when opening the door it damaged the front fender. I never did it because I was going to wait until I finished the mechanical upgrades I wanted to do -The car needs tires, badly. So I will put $300 towards a set of whatever new tires you want for the car and get them mounted, balanced, and a fresh alignment before you take delivery -I did the tinting on the front two windows. I am not good at doing tinting. It's functional, but not done well. If you want it to look beautiful you should have the tinting redone I'm happy to help with transport and we can negotiate that. As you can see from the list of work done to the car, the parts alone easily are worth more than the car as a whole. In my opinion put new tires and alignment on it, and it's a great daily driver. Or take it to a body shop for a bit of work and it'll be a great and beautiful daily driver. Most cars are neglected by their owners for a while because they're thinking about selling it. I am not that way at all, and have decided only recently to sell the car. While the car does have high mileage, you will not find one that has been taken mechanical care of this meticulously for under $15,000. This car is sold as-is, where-is. Please ask all questions regarding assistance you'd like from me regarding delivery before buying. Feel free to contact me with any questions either through eBay or by phone at 812-243-2585. Cash or wire transfer only is accepted. Thanks for looking! |

2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 has a trunk for your junk
Thu, Mar 24 2016If you're in the market for an inexpensive new car and it absolutely must be a sedan, then the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is both of those things. The tiny four-door isn't beautiful, but the vehicle offers buyers optional high-tech amenities like smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The little guy debuts at the New York Auto Show and arrives at dealers this spring. The Mirage G4 shares much of its styling with the hatchback but grafts a trunk onto the rear. The stubby front and back make the sedan look charmingly bulbous. There's just something cute about its short, rounded shape. The G4 also uses the hatchback's powertrain. A 1.2-liter three-cylinder with 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque spins the front wheels. Customers can choose between a five-speed manual or a CVT, Mitsubishi spokesperson Alex Fedorak tells Autoblog. The update for 2017 Mirage five-door also just benefited from larger brakes and a retuned suspension. Look for live photos of the Mirage G4 from the New York Auto Show soon. We're curious to see how the pudgy sedan looks in the real world.

(MMNA) today unveiled the all-new 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. A sibling to the well-established and popular Mirage hatchback, the all-new Mirage G4 brings consumers a fresh dose of clean style, environmental consciousness, agility, connectivity, affordability and value. The Mirage G4 goes on sale this spring at Mitsubishi showrooms across the country. "A few years ago we entered the subcompact segment with the Mirage hatchback and its popularity with consumers has grown every year with its combination of top fuel economy, attractive pricing and one of the industry's best new car warranties. The new Mirage G4 repeats that value equation in a four-door sedan package," said MMNA executive vice president, Don Swearingen.
Police search Renault headquarters as part of Ghosn probe
Wed, Jul 3 2019PARIS — 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
