Up for sale is a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. The vehicle is moded to 400+ hp. She’s in great shape except for the issues noted below. Top of the line for that year. Twin-Turbo (320hp stock), All-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, GETRAG 446 manual transmission, Active Aero package (see photos), leather interior and Infinity sound system with 6 disc CD changer. All four tires have greater than 75% tread and the wheels are still very clean. Title in hand. The body of the vehicle is free major dents or damage but she does have a couple of door dings, minor scratches and small bruises here and there – generally though she looks great (see photos). Interior is tan and the carpet is dirty but I used to own a 92 3000GT SL with black leather interior. The SL broke down on me years back but I removed the interior from it hoping to one day put it into this one, never got a chance but I still have the interior. It will be included if you want it to give her a black interior to go with the black exterior. CarFax is available and shows no prior accidents. Although, the rear bumper was red and painted over black at one point. It was like that when I bought it and I don’t know why that was done, the previous owner did not know why it was like that either. The upgrades to the car are: - HKS Double-Mushroom Air Filter - HKS Blow-off Valve - HKS Exhaust - HKS 60MM Peak Hold Boost Meter in the cockpit - HKS EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) a.k.a. Boost Controller - A’PEXi S-AFC II Air Flow/Fuel Converter - A’PEXi Turbo Timer - Denso Iridium IK24 Spark Plugs x6 Installation and user’s guide for the modifications will be provided. Also equipped with a Python Alarm system. Now for the issue. Two months ago I damaged piston number four and one of the two exhaust valves during a standing-start. The piston is cracked and the valve is bent. Due to the extra rich gases flowing through the EGR valve, it too has failed as indicated by the “Check Engine” light. I used an OBD to check it. The code was ‘43’ for an EGR valve flow error. Also, she has an oil leak coming from the oil pan gasket. The passenger side window does not come down. I disconnected the window control switch because, as I found out, one bushing in the window control motor had failed. I fixed it, I think, but disconnected the switch because I didn’t want to deal with taking the door panel off to fix it again. I have another window control motor and entire rail as a replacement. It will be included. The photos show that the front aero dam is torn, I am including a new replacement for it. The car still runs and in idle you cannot tell that one of the pistons is damaged. But upon accelerating or putting a load on the engine she will sputter. She can be driven around but not far and don’t expect to go fast, although she will get up to freeway speed in time. Both turbos are fully functional but the front turbo will not fully spool up, this because of the damaged piston and valve which don’t generate the proper exhaust pressure for that turbo. The price I’m asking makes this car a steal. The person(s) that take her and fixes her up will end up with a ride like few others. She stands out in the crowd and still draws attention even at her age. Before the engine got hurt she was a dream to ride. Very fast and gripped the road as though on rails. Don’t expect to drift her, all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering doesn’t allow that. Except maybe in the snow. |

Investigators say Mitsubishi mpg scandal was 'collective failure'
Tue, Aug 2 2016Investigators hired by Mitsubishi Motors to probe why the Japanese automaker engaged in falsifying fuel-economy figures for the past quarter-century faulted the company's "corporate culture." Specifically, there was a lack of unity between divisions, company-wide pressure to boost fuel-efficiency numbers, and an unwillingness to accept fuel-economy shortfalls, Automotive News says, citing comments made by consultants who hired by the company to investigate the problems. Challenging management authority even if it was proper to do so was also frowned upon. One of the investigators called the scandal "a collective failure." Among other suggestions, the consultants recommended that Mitsubishi's vehicle-mileage certification be independent from research and development, that there's greater transparency overall, and that there's a more thorough understanding of laws. New shareholder Nissan may also invest in retooling Mitsubishi's R&D operations, and is sending one of its former executives, Mitsuhiko Yamashita, to Mitsubishi to try to prevent any sort of repeat problems. Mitsubishi joined a list of automakers including Volkswagen, Hyundai/Kia, and Ford that have been found in recent years to either mislead with its published fuel-efficiency figures or emissions-testing procedures. A Nissan spokesman declined to comment on the Mitsubishi report, according to Automotive News. The recommendation comes less than three months after the announcement that Nissan would help rescue Mitsubishi from its fuel-economy scandal by acquiring part of the company. Nissan agreed in May to pay $2.2 billion for a 34-percent stake in Mitsubishi, and said at the time that Mitsubishi would join the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Nissan also owns 15 percent of France-based Renault. That announcement came right after Mitsubishi's admission that it may have falsified fuel-economy data for every one of its vehicles made in Japan dating back to 1991.

2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Quick Corners And Long Goodbyes
Editor's Note: While driving the Mitsubishi Evolution in the slush and snow of a Michigan winter is a fine enterprise, photographing it in such conditions is usually not fruitful. That's why you'll notice a slight disparity between our wintry text and sunny, California-based photographs of the subject car. Rest assured, both the review vehicle and the photo car are of the same basic Evo GSR flavor.
It was a dreary, gray, barely sufferable winter morning in Ann Arbor, MI. Temperatures hovering just over 30 degrees allowed for snow or rain or some combination thereof at a moment's notice, and the thickly clouded sky hinted at dark secrets while promising nothing. I've never been a rally driver but I couldn't help but feel that this murky, imprecise day was good winter rally weather. I'll admit: I don't usually wake up and look out the window to judge which kind of racing would be best just then, but the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR delivered to my house the day before was coloring the mood of the hour; most of my thoughts ran to where I was going to drive it, when, and how fast.
