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.
-Springs are TEIN H Springs.

This car is a one of a kind gem showing impeccable taste and extraordinary craftsmanship built by a team that is top's in their craft.
Please, serious buyers only. The car is stored and not taking up any space. So we will not entertain tire kickers.

Thank you for looking. Please feel free to contact me with any question. We will absolutely entertain any reasonable offers.

Mitsubishi ready to pull Evo's plug

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

We have all manner of unofficial metrics in the auto industry. No doubt you've heard some of them, like the butt dyno. Another popular measure is the smiles-per-dollar index - how entertaining is a car versus its price. Cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Scion FR-S and Mini Cooper S, for example, score quite highly, while vehicles like the BMW M5 or Audi RS7 are great to drive, but score lower because of their much higher price tags. For a long time, the king of the smiles-per-dollar index was arguably the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, which blended hair-raising thrills for the price of a well-equipped Ford Fusion Titanium.
Now, it looks like the Evo will need to hand over its title, as this generation of the rally-derived rocket is likely to be Mitsubishi's last - at least for a while. There's been no mention of just when production of the current car will end, so if you're in the market, we'd suggest trying to find a dealer with inventory ASAP. The news comes from the automaker's Japanese mothership, which says the brand will instead focus on utility vehicles and EVs. While there are no direct plans for a successor, an Evo XI as it were, the door remains open for a different kind of beast, according to Mitsubishi.
"Mitsubishi Motors does not have any plans to design a successor with the current concept, as a high-performance four-wheel drive gasoline-powered sedan," said Namie Koketsu, a spokesperson for Mitsubishi, according to Automotive News. "Mitsubishi Motors will explore the possibilities of high-performance models that incorporate electric vehicle technology."

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement

Mitsubishi Mirage configurator is alive

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Well, here's the butter knife Mitsubishi is bringing to the subcompact gun fight. It's called the Mirage, and its configurator has just gone live on Mitsubishi's consumer page, allowing those that absolutely must have a brand-new car for not a lot of money (and have never heard of the Nissan Versa, Mazda2, Chevrolet Spark or Ford Fiesta) to build their perfect example.
Prices start at $12,995 for a base DE model with a five-speed manual transmission and $14,195 for the up-market ES with the same transmission. A 74-horsepower, 1.2-liter engine is the sole powerplant. Both trims feature a continuously variable transmission for an extra $1,000 and a range of eight exterior colors, while black is the sole interior color.
Fully loaded with all the assorted packages - there are 10 on the ES model, adding things like navigation, a backup camera and LED ambient lights - the Mirage checks out at $19,540. Feel free to have a go at the configurator yourself.
