Year:1993 Mileage:95055
Location:

Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States

Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States

For sale is my 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 w/ Twin Turbo AWD. Roughly 95,000 miles on the car with only a few hundred miles on a brand new Pampena motor! Also, recently repainted so it looks amazing. The leather seats are in great shape and don't have the typical wear that you find on the side of the drivers seat. Previous owner bought it from Florida and drove it back to Wisconsin. Stored winters. Never seen salt or snow! 

Previous owner did a lot of work on this car and spent thousands on new parts that now only have a few hundred miles on them. List includes: 

3.1L forged Pampena motor (over $3100)

Refreshed heads

Poly Motor Mounts

New OEM: water pump, oil pump, timing belt, timing tensioner

New 18x9 Rota G-force rims w/brand new tires ($1600)

Aftermarket aluminum radiator

Brand new stereo head unit and Boston Acoustics speakers

Aftermarket gauges in dash (above climate controls)

ECU capacitors replaced

3" 3SX downpipe and test pipe ($330)

ABS, ECS Delete

All wheel steering delete kit from Pampena Motorsports ($130)

Rear subframe bushings replaced with poly

New clutch master cylinder

Stage 4 racing clutch from 3SX and light weight flywheel ($629)

Braced transmission housing 3SX bracket ($125)

New output shaft and transfer case spool - stronger than stock ($419)

3SX Pre-turbo intake piping (red) ($99)

3SX Spark plug wires ($69)

HKS Blow-off valve

Brand new 99' lifters

Brand new power steering pump

Drilled and slotted rotors

New window tint

 

As you can see, a lot of time and money invested in this car. It runs great, sounds excellent running. I'm sure I am forgetting to mention some of the little improvements and upgrades like the Pampena plate that covers the spark plug wires on the valve cover or the 3SX oil cap. Oh, the pop-up headlights work perfectly too which is very cool. 

Now for the things that still need some work. 

The speedometer doesn't work. Local shop said $30 to diagnose this but I haven't had the time to drop it off there yet. It's probably the speed sensor either disconnected or needing to be replaced but I'm not sure. 

The e-brake handle welds that hold it in have broken off from the previous owner. Sounds weird but it apparently is a common problem from what I read on the forums. The e-brake handle is included with the car and just needs to be welded in or re-bolted into the car. 

The stereo surround plate that goes around the radio is missing. $25 on 3SX website. 

The rear windshield wiper has been removed and the radio antenna was removed. Both were replaced with black rubber plugs.

 

Overall, an awesome car that has had a lot of time and attention given to it. Ready to drive around today or a project you can continue. With some fuel system upgrades and bigger turbos you could have a real beast of a car. Leaving it as-is and you have a great ride that will turn heads everywhere you go. 

If you are looking for a VR4, look no further as you won't find one with a new Pampena motor and all of these other maintenance items done to it. 

You could spend less and have faded paint, worn out seats, and wonder when your ECU's capacitors will start to leak. OR you can spend more and buy one with huge turbos and NOS and wonder when your transfer case and axles will go. 

This car is the perfect balance between stock and performance. This one is well cared for. 

Happy bidding. Any questions, I will do my best to answer. Email me at dnolan16@att.net 

$500 deposit required within 48 Hours of auction end. Balance due within 7 days. 

Do not bid unless you intend to buy. 

Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.

I can have someone available anytime to assist with the pick up process if giving proper notice and details.   

Car is sold as-is, no warranty. VIN JA3BN74K6PY037563

Mitsubishi's first US chairman since 2007 charged with revitalizing brand

Fri, 02 Nov 2012

Have a look at Mitsubishi North America's vehicle page and you'll find seven cars in four model lines: i-MiEV electric hatch, Lancer sedan, Lancer Evolution and Sportback, Outlander and Outlander Sport, and Galant sedan. The Galant has 3.9 tires in the automotive grave, and the only hope for mainstream excitement, the Eclipse coupe and Spyder, had hemlock poured down their crankcases last year. Increasing the quotient of bleak, the Lancer isn't due for a refresh until 2014, the coming Outlander PHEV will sell in miniscule numbers when it does arrive, a little sports car has been nixed and the only other Mitsu being considered for our landmass is the Colt, which, for its stellar fuel economy numbers, looks like a car designed by Pikachu. There's also that matter of declining NA market share in a rising overall market, Mitsubishi's piece of the total pie currently hovering around the 0.4-percent mark according to Automotive News.
The company has decided to do more about it, reassigning Executive Vice President and Head Officer of the Headquarters Product Projects & Strategy Group Gayu Uesugi to be the new chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America. It will be the first time in five years that someone has filled the chairman position at MMNA.
The hope is that with Uesugi's 35 years with the company, his experience in the company's global product plan and his success in emerging market strategy, he's the man to "[develop] a product plan and growth strategy for the US market" that will put things right. Or at least better. He will work with Yoichi Yokozawa, who has been CEO of MMNA since last year. There are more details on the move in the press release below.

Watch Mitsubishi break the EV record at Pikes Peak

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Take 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.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution recalled over clutch woes

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

Mitsubishi will be recalling over 10,000 Lancer Evolutions built between December 12, 2007 and March 5, 2013, covering model years 2008 to 2013. The recall only affects cars with manual transmissions, though, so if you opted for a Lancer Evo with a quick-shifting SST, this recall doesn't apply to you.
If you're one of the 10,474 people that has a Lancer Evo X GSR, which is the only way into a manual-trans Evo X, you need to plan a trip to your local dealer. The recall relates to a failure in the clutch master cylinder, making shifting in and out of gear difficult. Consequently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that this could increase the odds of crashing.
Mitsu will notify owners of the affected cars, and these Evo models will be repaired, free of charge, at dealerships. The recall is slated to begin around November 11. Scroll down for the full bulletin from the NHTSA.
