For sale 1992 3000gt one of two soft top convertible with 65xxx miles on the odometer (car fax reports 111xxx miles but I have documentation from 3 months prior to the documented mileage stating 61xxx miles, it seems to have been an error made by a a smog tech) Car was converted by coach builders In 1992 to have a powered convertible top. This is one of the two soft top convertibles built by coach builders that was sold brand new as a soft top and the only coach builder soft top that is a vr4. For non 3000gt enthusiasts a vr4 is the top of the line model sporting a twin turbo 3.0l engine, an all wheel drive drivetrain, active exhaust, active suspension, and active aerodynamics. It also has digital climate control with two stage air conditioning. The original owner purchased this car and had a very high quality shop fabricate a metal wide body for the rear along with molding the rear bumper and having it painted Ferrari yellow. The interior boasts custom yellow face gauges along with yellow stitching on the black leather powered seats and is topped off with a yellow and black momo steering wheel and shift knob. Engine wise it is mostly stock with a few small Bolt ons such as a light weight pulley and polished piping and valve covers. Also it has Spal radiator fans. When I purchased the vehicle I removed the engine cleaned and re-sealed the engine and installed a new water pump, timing belt, hydraulic tensioner and both of the roller bearings. The transmission and transfer case and rear end were all drained and refilled with gear oil and the clutch was replaced with a stage two disk and pressure plate along with a lightweight flywheel with replaceable face (the aftermarket throw out bearing seems to rattle a bit but does not affect drive ability at all). All of the smog equipment was kept intact including all vacumn lines and cat converters. The wheels are custom made Azev wheels that were designed as a staggered fitment to go along with the wide body rear.
The car runs and drives perfect and is a blast to take out for a spin when the weather is nice. The car has been garaged for the entire 2 and a half years I have owned it.
Now for the bad
When I purchased the vehicle it had been sitting at a repo lot for about ten years. Apparently the original owner lost the vehicle along with his business and house and the car was reposed. Having sat in the elements for ten years it has its fair share of wear and tear on the paint and will need to be re-sprayed to get it back to perfect condition, along with the paint fading the rear plastic window has fallen in and would need to be replaced. I've never actually driven the car with the top up so it never bothers me but it is not intact. Also when i purchased the car I disconnected the power wire for the top due to it being located where me knee would hit it accidentally. The top still fully functions and can be hooked up to power or moved manually. The rear active aero also has a small chip in the base but I have a replacement to go with the vehicle that just needs to be paint matched.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander GT
Wed, 30 Jan 2013I'm not a gambling man, but if there were a pool for an automotive death watch, my money would be on Mitsubishi... Lincoln is a close second. To understand the plight of Mitsubishi, you only have to look at its current lineup; they all just look, feel and drive about 10 years older than they really are. With the departure of the Endeavor and merciful killing of the Eclipse (the Galant lives on, but is on hiatus for the 2013 model year), one of the worst remaining offenders is the Mitsubishi Outlander, which I recently drove in top-level GT trim for this Quick Spin.
If we had a time machine and took the 2013 Outlander GT back to 1998, it would be revolutionary. If we could take it back to 2004, it might be near the top of its class. But in the current highly competitive crossover segment of today, the Outlander just falls short. Yes, the all-new 2014 Outlander is on its way later this year, but from what we've seen both inside and out, the new design would look great in 2008. That being said, spending a week with any vehicle can point out surprising highs as well as lows, and there are still plenty of reasons to enjoy Mitsu's midsize CUV.

Watch Mitsubishi break the EV record at Pikes Peak
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Take a listen folks - you're hearing the eventual future of motorsports. This is Greg Tracy and the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution III as they assault the treacherous course at Pikes Peak in just 9:08.188.
This run is significant for a number of reasons. As we recapped in our Pikes Peak finale post, Tracy's run was a mere two seconds off the best overall time at this year's event, snagging him and Mitsubishi second place overall, as well as first in the Electric Modified class and the fourth fastest time ever recorded. Perhaps more importantly, though, Tracy thoroughly trounced the previous EV record at Pikes Peak, beating the legendary Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima's 2013 best of 9:46.530.
It's an impressive feat, and now you can experience the whole run from as near a first-person viewpoint as you're going to get. Scroll down and have a look.
2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gets modest styling, powertrain enhancements
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Mitsubishi sales continue to show progress in 2014. In fact, sales were up 54.17 percent in the US in May compared to last year. In hopes of keeping those numbers in the black, the Japanese automaker is introducing some mechanical upgrades to the Outlander Sport, its best-selling model, for the 2015 model year.
The biggest change for the 2015 Outlander Sport is its improved CVT that offers better fuel economy. Front-wheel-drive models with the upgraded CVT get an estimated improvement of 1 mile per gallon across the board to 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined; all-wheel drive models get an estimated 1 mpg better on the highway and in the combined rating, bringing the numbers up to 24/30/27 mpg. Mitsubishi claims the new transmission is the equivalent of fitting the Outlander Sport with a seven-speed automatic. The five-speed manual is still also available on the front-wheel drive ES trim, rated at 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. All models also get electric power steering, and the company reports that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is enhanced as well, but still makes the same 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque from last year.
The 2015 Outlander Sport also sees some very minor aesthetic improvements. The audio panel inside now has piano black and silver trim, and the SE trim comes with LED running lights. Also, the interior gets thicker glass in the side windows and more noise insulation for a quieter ride.
