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! |

Nissan may take control of struggling Mitsubishi Motors
Wed, May 11 2016Update: The reports were largely correct. Nissan will take a 34 percent stake in Mitsubishi for roughly $2.2b. Read all about it here. Reports say Nissan will buy a controlling stake in Mitsubishi Motors, either 30 or 34 percent, for about 200 billion yen or $1.84 billion. Nissan and Mitsubishi motors are currently part of a joint venture, NMKV, to build minicars together. Nissan is also responsible for reporting fuel-economy discrepancies with cars built under the joint-venture agreement, which put Mitsubishi in its current weakened state. Earlier today, reports surfaced that the fuel-economy issues were wider ranging than originally thought. Mitsubishi now admits that all of its Japanese-market cars sold since 1991 could have had faked fuel-economy data. Shares of Mitsubishi Motors have dropped by about half since the scandal was uncovered, opening the door for a takeover. While Nissan is a much larger company, it can benefit from Mitsubishi's 60-percent share of Japan's minicar market. The two companies also had plans to build electric vehicles together in the joint venture. Japan's Nikkei reports that talks are ongoing between the company and that a decision could be made Thursday by the companies' boards. Related Video: News Source: Nikkei Green Mitsubishi Nissan
Mitsubishi Attrage brochure reveals additional looks, info
Thu, 23 May 2013If you're keen to get a closer look at the upcoming Mitsubishi Attrage global sedan, we've got good news for you. A handful of brochure images have made their way to the web courtesy of IndianAutosBlog.com, complete with driveline details. The compact car looks to have its teeth set on taking a chunk out of the Nissan Versa. The Attrage will launch in Thailand with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine good for 76 horsepower coupled to either a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission. The combination should yield a range of around 570 miles with an 11 gallon tank. We'll save you the math: that's over 50 miles per gallon, though we wouldn't be surprised to see a more powerful, less efficient engine show up on the US-spec model. Buyers can also enjoy snazzy 15-inch alloy wheels.
Expect to find a rearview camera, push-button start, Bluetooth audio and automatic climate control indoors. This information gives us a pretty good idea of what we can expect from the car once it touches down here in the US, though final details - including powertrain - remain likely to change somewhat.
Here's what you had to say about the Tokyo Motor Show
Fri, Oct 27 2017We obsessively covered the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. You, our readers, provided the color commentary. Read on and, of course, leave your comments below. Subaru Viziv Performance Concept: Remember the WRX concept they showed in 2013, and what the production version looked like in 2015? Pepperidge Farm remembers. wooootles 2 foot high wing on the trunk or gtfo :) sc0rch3d Mazda Kai Concept : Dear Honda, this is how you dynamically style a hatchback. Thank you. Dfelix70 Kudos to KODO design. There are so many things I love about this "Kai" car: the awesome split panoramic sunroof, the Jaguar-esque tails (sporting an "eyebrow up"... ala The Rock), a sleek family resemblance to the already beautiful CX-5 and CX-9. Seems suspiciously close to being a production ready Mazda3 — save for a few fanciful bits (door handles, mirrors etc). If it doesn't get too watered down by the time it hits the streets ... take my money! Randy Ross Mitsubishi e-Evolution Concept: As an 06 IX and 12 X owner, this is so upsetting. I will never buy this or care to give it another look. Hope you are glad you killed my favorite track-ready car to produce this electric junk. AcidTonic Picture the GT-R going away for a few years and coming back as an SUV. This is ridiculous. Surely someone in marketing could've came up with another cool name. Evo The Evo sedan is dead, whether this exists or not. I don't mind. Lada1200 Honda Sports EV Concept : I sure would like to see this "less is more" design aesthetic spread to their gas-powered production line. RustyShackleford Love it. I see glimpses of late 1970 Scirocco with Honda flair. Gintonics I just want ONE question answered in the affirmative, and that is... "RWD?" Henadenk AND A FEW FROM FACEBOOK: Toyota's press conference: Wake me up when they talk about the Supra. David Levinson Yamaha Cross Hub Concept: All I can think is modern day Brat, which has its own kind of charm. I'm assuming that it's a unibody design, but it seems happy to be its own thing rather than that crossover pretending to be a pickup called the Ridgeline. Would definitely take the Yamaha over the Honda, although I doubt it'll come to the states. Cole Henry Mazda Vision Coupe Concept: Face: KIA K7, Tail: Aston martin. Harold Shin A bit British, no?
