This exquisite 1992 VR4 was a special build project by the famous team that builds all the vehicles for the "Fast And The Furious" movies.
The car started out as a secondary vehicle for a retired gentleman who spent his summers in Florida. This car was stored for half it's life in a Florida garage.
Now it lives in Southern California where it's covered and garaged. It currently runs about once a week.
There is not an ounce of rust or corrosion anywhere on the body, engine or frame. Has never seen a snow flake.

Exterior:
-This specific vehicle was fully disassembled and every panel painted separately off the vehicle. It is finished in BMW's "Brilliant White". This was a 9 stage paint job that shows as if it was a new car. Not a single ding or even as small as a rock chip. The car is flawless.
-Being that 1992 3000GT's did not have a glass roof option, a secondary 1994 3000GT was purchased for the roof swap. The entire roof from the 1994 was graphed onto the 1992 vehicle for a flawless fit. To complete the 2nd generation body swap, the headlight buckets and radiator support was swapped along with the bumpers, side skirts and hood.
-Every single bolt, nut and screw that was removed from the car was replaced with brand new stainless steel hardware.
-Headlights are 4500K HID.

Interior:
-The seats were finished in full leather, front and back of seats. The front seating surface is wrapped in a natural brown hide and the backs of the seats are a deep black leather. Then tied together with a white contrasting double stitch. 
-Above is a custom suede headliner in a matching brown color with black suede up the two pillars.
-Interior pieces finished in a rich piano black.
-Has a matching orange lit rear view mirror with compass and homelink.
-Navigation and Bluetooth is used by the Clarion nx604 head unit with working steering wheel controls and Sony rear view camera.
-Shifter unit is the 3SX ball bearing short throw.


Engine and Exhaust:
-Under the hood are NO SPEED MODIFICATIONS. This car is bone stock and has been used as a cruiser, and in no way raced at any point in it's life.
-The lifters were replaced to 1999 5mm VR4 lifters so that the famous 1st generation lifter tick is not present.
-For exhaust there is a custom built Borla system with 1 high flow cat and a stainless steel downpipe. Passes the strict CA emissions. The welds are impeccable.
-Oil used is fully synthetic Shell Oil.
-Every scheduled maintenance item has been done as it should. All new rubber, belts and timing belt were replaced at a local Mitsubishi dealer. 
-In case there's anybody out there that is not familiar with these cars. They have a standard Twin Turbo 300HP engine, All Wheel Drive and 4 Wheel Steering.



Wheels, Tires and Brakes
-Wheels on all 4 corners are are 19X8.5 Avant Garde M590's in satin silver with a clear coated machined face wrapped in 245/35 Kumho Ecsta SPT.
-Rotors are crossed drilled and slotted and pads are ceramic.


Suspension:
-The struts are brand new OEM Mitsubishi ECS (Electronically Controlled Struts). They work exactly as they should when new. You can switch from a smooth touring mode to sport mode and stiffen the vehicle up.

.

Carlos Ghosn sues Nissan-Mitsubishi in the Netherlands

Sat, Jul 20 2019

AMSTERDAM — Carlos Ghosn has launched a court case in the Netherlands against Japanese carmakers Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi Motors, who ousted him as chairman of their alliance last year on charges of embezzlement, Dutch newspaper NRC reported on Saturday. Ghosn is seeking 15 million euros ($16.8 million) in damages from the carmakers, as grave mistakes were made when he was sacked, NRC reported, citing his lawyer. "In the Netherlands, if you want to fire an executive you have to first tell him what he's being accused of, and you have to provide him with the evidence for the accusations. Neither of those things has happened," lawyer Laurens de Graaf told NRC. Ghosn fell from grace late last year when he was arrested in Japan and sacked by Nissan on charges of financial misconduct, which he denies. He has also been fired as the CEO and chairman of French carmaker Renault. Ghosn was freed in April from jail in Japan on a $4.5 million bail. Among other charges of fraud and misconduct, Nissan and Mitsubishi have said Ghosn improperly received $9 million in compensation from their joint venture. Suspect expenses Ghosn made when he chaired Renault and Nissan amounted to about 11 million euros, Renault's board said in June. Ghosn holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship, but opted for the fiscally more friendly Netherlands as his tax domicile in 2012. The holding company for the Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance is also incorporated in the Netherlands. The district court in Amsterdam is reviewing the case but has not set a trial date yet, NRC said.

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage arrives in US this fall

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Mitsubishi dealers have been painfully starved of fresh product for ages now, with their most recent new model, the bubble-shaped i electric car, already requiring a serious sales jumpstart. We've known for a while that help is on the way in the form of an all-new Outlander crossover, but we've basically only had loose confirmations to go on that the Japanese automaker would eventually reintroduce its Mirage subcompact to the American market. Today, those rumors have turned to reality, as Mitsubishi has confirmed that the five-door economy car will hit US dealerships this fall.
Every subcompact player needs a trump suit, from Ford's tech-rich Fiesta to Honda's impossibly space-efficient Fit, and the Mirage's calling card figures to be its fuel economy. Mitsubishi says it expects its 2014 Mirage to achieve 37 miles per gallon in the city and 44 on the highway (combined rating of 40 mpg) when equipped with a continuously variable transmission. Those figures are good enough, Mitsu says, to earn it the title of the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicle sold in America that isn't a hybrid.
Of course, Mitsubishi isn't outlining any additional specs at the moment - not even engine configuration. We're expecting the company's 1.2-liter three-cylinder, which in European spec delivers a modest 79 horsepower and 78 pound-feet of torque. The Continent's Mirage weighs under 1,900 pounds, but the normally aspirated triple still makes for leisurely acceleration of 11.7 seconds to 62 miles per hour. It will be interesting to see if Mitsubishi makes some powertrain alterations to better suit American expectations.

Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.
