Well, without much deliberation, I’ll be picking this up at the end of the month as a second car. Mainly for use during the winter and for daily driving. Still might mod it a little bit though :wink:

1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
2,000 miles on a brand new motor and upgraded turbos (13G)
New clutch
All cats removed, with a 3" turbo back
Stainless Y-Pipe
TurboXS BOV (Recirculating)

I used to own a 1997 VR4, but foolishly sold it. So my business partner is looking to get the new STi and I am in need of a winter/dd, so we agreed on a price and now it is mine :slight_smile: Now I get to have fun all year around! Last summer we installed the new turbos ourselves so mechanically, I am semi-familiar with this car, although it almost takes a doctorates degree to fully understand this beast.

Either way I am pumped to be back in one.

Here are some pics. The only ones I have on my PC right now.

That is a ballsy, sled of a DD.

I do like the cars. Front end been resprayed? Or is that Mitsu paint?

3

I like the pearl white. Good choice as long as you dont butcher it like Sullyvrfail

4

Where did you get it? Boss? Curious if 3SI member…

Get rid of the TurboXS. I also don’t get the 13G upgrade… Looks nice. :slight_smile:

5

All original paint on this one. Has some minor blemishes that I will take care of next summer.

:rofl

:rofl @ RAID5 plate.

Bought it off my business partner. The upgrade wasn’t the point of the switch. He seized the rear original turbo, so he found these for a really great deal. They aren’t really anything better than the 9B, except they do hold boost better up to redline.

9

Huge difference in power. 13Gs have went 11s. But, that makes sense. 15Gs are much better and similiar in price but if you got a deal, rock it. Careful if you have a stock wired FP…

10

Yea it is in need of a good tune. Not looking for crazy shit, just a conservative, DD type tune haha.

And next year, heads will be coming off, again. For some better lifters. More out of annoyance than anything. It has nasty lifter tick sometimes.

11

Awesome DD, I’ve always had a soft spot for those cars.

12

Yea, 99 lifters. You might want to stay away from injectors/tune for simplicity. I am not sure what you are looking for but your setup + some BPU mods and an upgraded FP should be near 110MPH traps.

13

Its a winter car/dd why would it need to trap 110?

Wait, nm… that is a bad ass winter car then! lol Much faster than my winter 4x4 that prolly traps 65mph. hahah

14

Different strokes for different folks. My car went 128MPH and I drove it like 1000 miles a year.

15

Troof! everyone rolls differently thats for sure.

16

Yea I already have my “fast” car, which I also DD’d until I bought this one. So now the vette can take a break from all the miles.

I will drive this in the summer to, on occasion. But it’s main purpose will be winter/dd. The last VR4 I had was an absolute tank in the snow. I downgraded the wheels/tires on that one from the stock 18x8.5 to 17x7.5 and it went everywhere.

17

Do you mind disclosing the price? Curious what a 13G 2G VR-4 goes for…

18

$6K

Good God.

Fantastic deal. Good for you. Enjoy it. They are really underrated cars.
