This auction is for one Mitsubishi 3000gt fwd naturally aspirated base model that has been custom rally tuned by kinetic (their website is www.coloradomountainrally.com, more details and pictures are there) A bit rough on the eyes, this one's got it where it counts! Fast and fuel efficient, its perfect for your dailly commute and weekend race/ rally events. Also included is a set of four studded snow tires mounted on 17" chrome rims. Use these in the winter or at your rally events. Most routine maintanence has been taken care of. Included with the car is a brand new water pump, timing belt, tensioners, hydrualic pulley, oil pump, and cam seals. I recomend you put these new parts in so the service manual is included, if you want to get to know the car better by doing it yourself. All the features on the car work and are ready to perform on your next cross country road trip. This car really lives up to the "Grand Touring" name! So pay attention, here are the juicy details and quirks about this car. I am the fourth owner, I have all the documentation from all the previous owners. Its seriously like four inches thick of maintanence records, this car has been well taken car of since it left the lot in 1994. All the features work, AC is ice cold, cruise control is flawless. Some things don't work that well though. The low washer fluid light is on, even though the tank is full. The sunroof opens but not all the way. The reverse gear tends to fall out a lot. This is not Mitsubishi's fault. The transmission was rebuilt at Jacks Transmission, which is allegedly the best for this car. Well the consensus of professional mechanics is that the problem is indeed with Jacks, they screwed it up and have made a great effort not to own up to it. So it is a rebuilt tranny to above OE spec, new clutch, new pressure plate, new cables, etc. But it needs a new fork. The reverse works, just not very well. Maintanence. So since 165k the car has new thermostat, radiator cap, battery, alternator, wires, spark plugs, ignition cables, transmission, shift cables, shifter, clutch, pressure plate, clutch line, slave cylinder, brake rotors front and back, brake pads front and back, brake lines front and back, front spindles, front calipers, tires, rims, swaybay endlinks front and back, rear swaybar, full coilover suspension front and back, steering rack, accessory drive belts, hid lamps, and fuel filter. all fluids have been flushed and replaced on schedule with premium lubricants. There are no leaks in any system. The car will burn about a quart of oil in 5,000 miles during the summer, adding about half a quart of lucas each oil change keeps this in check. Gas mileage is about 27-31 mpg in most driving conditions. I have been driving through winters in this car since 2007 and been stuck in the snow twice. In all this car has been a dream come true and I am sad I won't get to see the odometer over 300k. It's okay though, I'm sure this car will shine for it's fifth owner! It's been such a great car, I will gladly deliver it at no additional charge anywhere south of Edmonton or North of Miami for any sucessful bid over $3,600. Otherwise, please come see me in Longmont, Colorado. Specs: That's over $5,000 of new parts that have been installed! (not including the sound system, of course. consider it a freebie!) |

Turns out Mitsubishi's history is far more interesting than we thought
Fri, Apr 3 2020Former Autoblog editor-in-chief Mike Austin was kind enough to drop this little nugget onto Twitter yesterday: the history of Mitsubishi timeline on the company's press website. Basically, it's a virtual museum, spanning from the 1917 Mitsubishi Model A to the 2008 Galant Fortis Sportback. Frankly, it's not that surprising that they didn't go much further beyond that, but still, the timeline provides both a fun trip down memory lane and an introduction to fun and/or wacky JDM models we never got. Besides showing photos, there's actually a sizable amount of info for each, which has quite clearly and often delightfully been translated from Japanese. Take the New Minica Toppo that "adopted a 1:2 door configuration with a single door on the driver's side and two doors on the passenger side (think a Hyundai Veloster), as well as a 'Super High Roof' that added 70 mm to the height of the standard roof ... Addressing the desire to drive something a little different, the lineup was soon joined by a number of variants with personalities designed to bring more fun to the class and including the recreation specification Carabosse, the young mother and baby-oriented Marble, and the Town Bee with its round frog-eye headlamps projecting just forward of the leading edge of the engine hood." Also, check out those diagonal door handles. There are more than just JDM kei car oddities, however. There's the Mitsubishi FTO, which you may remember from Gran Turismo and other racing video games from back in the day. It was "a car that delivered fun-to-drive qualities in abundance (and) was selected 1994-1995 Japan Car of the Year." If you didn't know, it was called the FTO because it slotted below the Mitsubishi GTO, the car you know as the 3000GT. I didn't know that before. Thanks, timeline! There's also the off-roady JDM Delica vans that are now all over the Pacific Northwest having surpassed the 25-year import embargo. The 1994 Delica Space Gear (above left) was notable in that it moved the engine under the hood rather than beneath the front seats where it was previously (above right with the Delica Star Wagon), but according to the timeline "The Gear variant name was added in the belief that customers would become attached to it as a familiar 'piece of gear' for leisure and everyday purposes." Judging by the ones I see around here in Portland, mission accomplished. "Suspension was by double wishbone at the front and a 5-link with coil spring arrangement at the rear.
2014 Pikes Peak Hill Climb Practice Day 1
Wed, 25 Jun 2014This year the big news about the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is about who isn't showing up. Sebastien Loeb, fresh off his record setting run last year, hasn't bothered coming back (and probably won't unless someone breaks his record). The Millen family is also noticeably absent. Rhys and Rod have been driving here for the past couple of decades but it looks like Rhys is focusing his efforts on Global RallyCross.
Last year Pikes Peak added a fourth practice day on Tuesday to allow drivers to get more time on the mountain. It's an optional practice day, but most drivers show up.
Today, both Time Attack divisions (1 and 2) as well as Unlimited division drove the lower third of the mountain. Pikes Peak Open, Open Wheel, Electric Production, Electric Modified, Exhibition and Vintage all practiced on the middle section, and bikes power sports did the top section.
Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure
Wed, 07 Nov 2012By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
