The good: The car is low miles for a 93. 1993 is one of the best years to own, because the ECU is still OBDI. Also it came with a 25 spline output shaft which is a step up from the 18 spline in earlier years. The car has never seen a winter and no rust on the body panels. There is tiny spots under the car but very minimal. The car made a freakish 298 whp at LSE performance on stock turbos and stock fuel. (most others make 245-270 whp) The tranny shifts smoothly and the southbend clutch has less than 5,000 miles on it. Brand new yokohama tires put on the car. Some people on the boards know me and have previously vouched for the car in this thread.

Newly developed situation: The car is smoking. It smokes on idle and while running. I believe it is the valve stem seals that are the problem. (it could be something else) I changed out the 9b turbos with 15g turbos to see if that would stop the smoking. It did not affect the problem. This leads me to believe its the VSS. It could be something different, but I'm in school at duluth and can't easily access the car. The car is back on stock suspension because I needed money for college. The price reflects the problem.

Price Drop: 6500 without 15g turbos. 7300 with turbos. OBO. I will consider trades +cash.

I feel confident in my representation of the car, and the communities ability to fix the problem. I need to finish school and not spend all my money trying to fix the car.

The car is back at stock height pictures show it lowerd:

i might have some one very interested

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

hey do u still have this car?

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

yes he does. It should be getting tuned on the 255 and bigger injectors as we speak.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

As much as I don't want josh to sell this car I know he could really use the cash so I'll go ahead and put in my "good car" recommendation for him. I've known josh forever and I've never met anybody that takes such good care of their car (besides me) than him. This car is definitely a head turner and fun to drive. The body is almost flawless imo and it's quick as hell. I'd be a great car for anybody to pick and up enjoy.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

Thanks for the responses guys. The car is still for sale. I decided to just go ahead and finish it. At the end of this week the rest of the fuel will be in and hopefully tuned. This weekend new tires will be going on the car. It should be set to go and very fun to drive. If you are interested in the car pm me and we can talk about it.

does this have a clean tittle?

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

Yes clean title.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

friggen sweet ride... wish i had the cash!

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

bump major edits on the post. new situation and new price

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

If the smoke thing was checked out and resolved I would be interested...could be some other type of internal oil leak/seepage

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

^I've known josh well before he got this vr4 and it's been taken very well care of. I had the valve seals go on my dsm and it's pretty much the same kinda thing goin on with the vr4. I would second josh's opinion on thinking the only problem is the valve seals. Get that fixed and you have one of the cleanest vr4s around imo.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

+1 for josh's car. Top-notch.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

where do u go to school in duluth?

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

Josh's car is so clean! Good luck with your future plans, whatever they are.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

UMD. Thanks for the comments guys. I'd like to see this thing gone.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

So you're in Duluth and the car is in the Cities?

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

He goes to school in Duluth, but his parents' house is in Maple Grove which is where he keeps the car.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

^^^^^^ Thanks that is correct. The car is stored in a heated garage in Maple Grove. I can come home to show the car if anyone needs.

Re: 1993 Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4
 

Josh you forgot to mention your car has it's own stall and your garage is clean enough to eat off the floor.
