just picked up another toy!

sick_stang302 · Feb 28, 2008

i know this is a stang forum, but u gotta love these cars!
i just took out a loan and went down to north carolina and picked up this beauty
its a 1991 mitsubishi 3000gt vr-4, awd twin turbo, all wheel steering, active aerodynamics
all stock 5 spd
this might put the stang on hold for a while, because im import at heart

eliyarbrough · Feb 28, 2008

It's OK, I guess. There is no way in hell it would cause me to put a hold on a Mustang though!!

02GT · Feb 28, 2008

duel fart cans on the back lmao....not a bad car tho

Whistler98 · Feb 28, 2008

nah not for me. Needs an american V8. Your stang is much better looking. :thumb:

Brian95SVT · Feb 28, 2008

those cars are niiice if you do them right
those fart cans need to go though

and you need to get that turbo wing or whatever it is.
do the newer front end conversion
to the non-flip lights and the smoother front

my friend has one
fully built with aftermarket twins
and some chrome cobra r rims
it's soooo sick

2slo95fiveoh · Feb 28, 2008

a lot of people are skeptical about VR4s until they drive one..
we had one i worked on at work, and went for a test drive.... those things pull pretty hard
stock.. that is one of the many reasons i will be doing a turbo on my car, the pull is rediculous!

sick_stang302 · Feb 28, 2008

fart cans are definately on their way out the door, lol
ill probally build on the stang first now that i think about it, the 3kgt is just fine the way it is minus the fart cans
i need to get some more power out of the stang, that 3kgt will eat my stang alive, and i cant have that for too much longer
well i mean the the 3k is turbo'ed and awd, so.......go figure
im going to be having a competion with my own cars,

but i am keeping the body stock, i love the 1g's

Brian95SVT · Feb 28, 2008

hahaha niiiice!!!

i thought about one for a DD..... idk though
they might be pricey on gas and on insurance you would figure....

sick_stang302 · Feb 28, 2008

yeah ill prollay use mine as a dd, the insurance is going to be around $40 a month liability at state farm for me, so its not too bad at all
this thing will get up and go, let me tell ya, very overlooked car imo

Brian95SVT · Feb 28, 2008

oh yeah of course

that's pretty cheap
might have to pick me up one for my DD
and throw some cobra r rims on it like my friend did!!! ahhaha

sick_stang302 · Feb 28, 2008

it would be interesting to see a 3k with the cobra r rims
u have any pics?

SRT Handz · Feb 28, 2008

VR4s are pretty quick.... But have fun working on it... VR4s are a PITA to work on

I'm not familiar with them but by the looks I wouldn't want anything to do with repairing one of them.

so i have heard
im not very familiar with them, all i have ever owned/worked on are dsm's and sr20/rb 240sx's, very simple cars to work on from what i have done, i have heard downpipe installs on the vr4's are horrible

94Pro-5.0 · Feb 28, 2008

they are nice looking cars, and they are also quick and have great handling. one of my friends has one all blacked out with black wheels and upgraded turbos. its fast as hell

yeah im loving it!
i have a couple of garrett t28 ball bearing turbos layin around from some old sr20 projects, im going to stick them on there and see how that goes

OnyxCobra · Feb 28, 2008

Nice car man, they are pretty sweet and hold their value very well. My friend had a black one, similar year. It felt really fast to ride in but i was surprised when I was able to pull on it with just exhaust. Their weight is their weak point.

scott5 · Feb 28, 2008

i love those cars.. nice find!

zigzagg321 · Mar 3, 2008

man, the engine is facing the wrong way!! better than a kia, or honda...etc... but dam i just dont like cars that are front wheel drive first, and then converted to 4WD for the manufacturer's performance version of said car.
