94 Mitsubishi 3000gt Base Fwd Naturally Aspirated Rally Tuned W/ 2 Wheel Sets on 2040-cars
Longmont, Colorado, United States
|
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!) |

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
'Nothing is blocking' Nissan alliance talks, says Renault chairman
Tue, Nov 15 2022TOKYO — Nothing is blocking discussions between Nissan and Renault over the future of their alliance and the two companies will have "important talks" on Tuesday and Wednesday, the French automaker's chairman said in Tokyo. Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Renault SA chairman Jean-Dominique Senard touted the Franco-Japanese alliance, which has been discussing ways to revamp the relationship. The companies had initially set Tuesday as a deadline to hammer out a deal. However, the discussions have taken longer than originally expected due to Nissan's concerns about how its intellectual property rights can be protected as Renault forges new ties with China's Geely, sources have told Reuters. Renault last week unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its businesses, saying it would set up a joint venture with Geely for gasoline engines and hybrid technology and spin off its electric vehicles unit next year. It wants Nissan to invest in the new electric unit. The companies are also renegotiating their equity ties, which currently see Renault owning a controlling 43% of Nissan and the Japanese company holding only a 15% non-voting stake in Renault. "Nothing is blocking" the discussions, he told reporters after the event, declining to say when the alliance members would reach a deal and adding "you will be informed on time." "As the chairman of this alliance, I've never lived such a warm atmosphere within the alliance and this bodes well for the future." Â Green Mitsubishi Nissan Renault
Carlos Ghosn's arrest casts doubt on future of Renault-Nissan alliance
Tue, Nov 20 2018For years, France's Renault and Japan's Nissan struggled to make money in the global auto business. Then came Carlos Ghosn, a Renault executive who helped to orchestrate an unprecedented transcontinental alliance, combining parts of both companies to share engineering and technology costs. Now Ghosn's arrest in Japan for alleged financial improprieties at Nissan could put the nearly 20-year-old alliance in jeopardy. Ghosn, 64, born in Brazil, schooled in France and of Lebanese heritage, is set to be ousted this week from his spot as Nissan chairman. He could also lose his roles as CEO and chairman of Renault, threatening the alliance formed in 1999 that's now selling more than 10 million automobiles a year. He's been "the glue that holds Renault and Nissan together," Bernstein analyst Max Warburton wrote in a note to investors. "It is hard not to conclude that there may be a gulf opening up between Renault and Nissan." In fact, Nissan's investigation into alleged misconduct by Ghosn is expanding to include Renault-Nissan finances, sources told Reuters — in a further sign that Nissan may seek to loosen its French parent's hold on their global carmaking alliance. Nissan told Renault's board on Monday it had evidence of potential wrongdoing at Renault-Nissan BV, the Dutch venture overseeing alliance operations under Renault's ultimate control, three people with knowledge of the matter said. Renault's board planned to meet Tuesday to discuss Ghosn's fate. "Carlos Ghosn is no longer in a position where he is capable of leading Renault," French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told France Info radio, calling on Renault's board to meet "in the coming hours" to set up an interim management structure. The French government owns 15 percent in Renault and has a say in its operations. Nissan's board is to meet Thursday to consider Ghosn's fate. Nissan has said it will dismiss Ghosn after he was arrested for allegedly abusing company funds and misreporting his income. That opens up a leadership void at the entire alliance, for which Ghosn officially still serves as CEO and chairman. Ghosn added Mitsubishi to the alliance two years ago after the tiny automaker was caught in a gas-mileage cheating scandal. Renault owns 43.4 percent of Nissan, which owns 15 percent of Renault, with no voting rights in a partnership that began in 1999. Since 2016, Nissan has held a 34 percent controlling stake in Mitsubishi Motor Corp.
