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!

You will notice some missing interior panels, these were removed to reduce weight. Unmodified the operating weight (with driver and full
gas tank) of this car was 3,480 pounds, that has now been brought down to just under 3,200 pounds. You can get even lighter for race day if you take out the
back seats and spare tire, which can be removed with a total of 4 bolts. Some exterior panels have been removed for the same reason. There are
numerous dents and scratches on the car and the paint is peeling on the front bumper. Perfect if you wanted to replace them with custom lightweight body panels anyways, or if you just plain don't care about anything except how fast it can go and how fun it is to drive. In all this one is a great performer and seems like it will
go to 300k (the car has about 216k on it now). Check out the extensive list of added parts (part price only, I won't list labor), this car is
practically free with a starting bid just under $1000 and no reserve!

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:
D2 Rally Asphault Full Coilover suspension, adjustable front camber plates, -3" to +2" ride height adjustment, 11.5/7.1 spring rates $1100
Front upper strut bar and new front sway bar links $150
Rear custom sway bar, new endlinks and energy bushings $250
New transmission rebuilt by Jack's Transmission w/ higher performance components $900
Short throw shifter, new shift cables, new excedy clutch and excedy pressure plate, stainless steel clutch line $350
New General G-MAX AS tires and tracklite 17" rims $1100
Custom dual element intake, lightweight radiator fan $150
10.2mm silicon race wires, iridium pulse plugs $150

New alternator, upsized battery, new lower impedence positive and negative lead wires $350

4 studded General Artimax tires mounted on four 17" Italian Chrome rims >$500 (~7/32nds tread left, rims are scratched up)

That's over $5,000 of new parts that have been installed! (not including the sound system, of course. consider it a freebie!)

Mitsubishi prices 2014 Outlander from $22,995*

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

Mitsubishi will gladly sell you a 2014 Outlander ES for $22,995, excluding an $835 destination fee. Buyers can step up to the middle-tier Outlander SE for $23,795, or around $200 less than last year. That stack of cash will net you 18-inch aluminum wheels, a 6.1-inch LCD information display, dual-zone climate control and other goodies. Somewhat more impressively, Mitsubishi has cut the price tag for the Outlander GT by $800. That machine will run you $27,795, and throws in a more potent V6 engine, the company's Super All-Wheel Control system and HID headlamps.
The 2014 Outlander bows with an all-new exterior design, and base models receive a 166-horsepowr 2.4-liter four-cylinder paired with a continuously variable transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. That driveline is good for 24 miles per gallon city and 29 mpg highway. Check out the full pricing press release below and our own Jonathon Ramsey's first drive here.

Mitsubishi planning high-performance Outlander PHEV under revived Ralliart banner

Fri, Feb 24 2023

Mitsubishi is finally getting some of its mojo back with its redesigned — and competitive — Outlander. The company reportedly plans to build on that momentum with a high-performance variant of the SUV, bolstering its newly revived Ralliart performance division in the process.  Wait, a non-luxury performance SUV? Well, if any company can pull it off it would be Mitsubishi. It has the history of its WRC victories and Paris-Dakar Rally dominance to build on. Nearly its entire racing heritage has been forged on dirt, not tarmac, so a hotted-up Mitsu SUV doesn't seem so farfetched.  According to Japan's Best Car magazine, the all-out Outlander will be based on the Outlander Vision Ralliart concept shown over a year ago at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon. The model will supposedly be called the Outlander PHEV Ralliart, and will feature extensive tuning to set it apart from the standard version. Best Car reports that the chassis will be reinforced to increase body rigidity. Mitsubishi will also strengthen the suspension and visually distinguish it with unique aero bits. What that may be isn't specified, but the Auto Salon concept had wider fenders in front and rear, a new front grille and bumper, and big diffuser beneath a redesigned rear fascia. The concept also came with larger rotors and six-piston calipers in front. The Outlander PHEV Ralliart's drivetrain, says Best Car, will based on the 2.4-liter plug-in hybrid setup on the base car. However, combined power between gasoline and hybrid systems will total an estimated 286 horsepower. Finally, the magazine predicts that the Outlander PHEV Ralliart will arrive in 2024. Japanese pricing is approximated at JPY5.5 to 6.1 million, which converts to $40,300 to $44,700 at current exchange rates, but we expect it to be closer to the high end of that range. With crossovers and SUVs as the de facto car these days, it was only a matter of time before mainstream marques began souping up such daily drivers. If Honda can create an 800-horsepower CR-V race car, a sports Outlander seems only natural. We'll just be here waiting for the first crossover racing league.

Carlos Ghosn to step down as Nissan CEO on April 1

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Carlos Ghosn announced he will be stepping down as CEO of the Nissan on April 1, to be replaced by current Nissan co-CEO Hiroto Saikawa. The move comes after close to two decades of leadership and the rebuilding of a company that was close to disaster. Ghosn isn't finished with the company he helped rebuild, as he will remain on as chairman of the board and continue on as leader of the Renault-Nissan Alliance following the change of guard. In addition to running Renault-Nissan, Ghosn has taken over as chairman of Mitsubishi Motors after acquiring a 34-percent stake in 2016, a move he spearheaded. Ghosn stated, "I am confident that the management team I have developed at Nissan over the past 18 years has the talent and experience to meet the company's operational and strategic goals. Having recently taken on new responsibilities at Mitsubishi Motors, and taking into consideration the upcoming Nissan general shareholders meeting, I have decided that the time is right for Hiroto Saikawa to succeed me as Nissan's CEO." A release from Renault-Nissan said the move allows Ghosn to focus more attention on bringing together the three companies. Saikawa, his replacement, has been with Nissan since 1977 and has overseen operations in the company's markets worldwide.
