hey guys! my name is pj prendergast, and i live in kinderhook, ny. im 16 years old, and have been driving for 10 years: i got a pontiac t1000 as a field car when i was 6. my dad and i are currently rebuilding my project car: a 1993 mitsubishi 3000gt vr4. before i knew much about cars, i wanted a subaru wrx as my first car (i still want one really badly haha). unfortunatly for me, even a wrecked one was running $10k. so my dad introduced me to the 3000gt: another awd car, but this was a v6 TT, and i fell in love with them on the spot. this car has opened my eyes to the whole jap car world. we started restoring it in july of 08, and we are now just wrapping it up! we have replaced just about everything on this car (my dad has poured around $10k est. into my car…!) since the pictures are sooo freakin big, i’ll just post up the album links. im buying a nikon d3 off of my uncle next week for $500 (yes, no typos, its a killer deal!), so i’ll post up some pictures it finally on the ground.
95% of the project is in here:
but there are some more recent weekend here:
thanks for checkin it out! i’ll probably make a huge before and after thread in the projects section when its actually done haha
well not entirely stock; we ported and polished the heads (i actually did!; theres some pictures somewheres in the first album of me doing the heads), greddy profec-b (?) boost controller, hks n1 exhaust, greddy type s (i think) blow off valve, random tech. high flow converter, some downpipe that my dad bought me, and some other stuff. i’ll have a mod list posted when i make the real project thread
looks like a awesome project bro me and a bunch of my friends are from hudson and we are having a holiday party dec 12th at the whitestone cafe in ghent you should come hang out.
yeah i was in 2nd grade in 2000, so we probably didnt know each other hahaha im a junior this year. did you have johnson for chem? if you’re wondering, he still is a douchebag :banghead:banghead:banghead he hates me haha but the feeling is mutual i guess
sweet deal man it sounds like a good time! :thumbup
sorry for being a noob but what the hell does bpu stand for? basic performance upgrades or something like that? and yeah i dont have many plans for this car other than some cosmetic stuff here and there
thanks anthony! unfortunatly our fist test drive ended badly today; no oil pressure… car stalled, and wouldnt crank over, like at all :banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead yeah we are really pissed and upset, so now we have to start trouble shooting, and there is a slight lifter tick anyways **sighhhhh
well we got the car in a lein sale in california, but it spent all of it’s years in Texas, untill the guy moved to cali. he couldnt pay a dealership for a broken side mirror, and got it taken away. that’s when we found it on ebay! :excited
