My best friend got me into wanting a 3000gt ever since the first day we started working together, and saw he he had a red 1st gen 3000gt sl, about 2 years later I purchased a 94 3000gt base that has just been sitting there since the day I purchased it because so much happened right after that and even tho my family kept telling me to sell it or junk it, and I was even going to sell it for $300 because of all the pressure of it just sitting there, but now that I've been having a steady income I can finally begin to put money aside to get it running and get it to the vision I've been having since the first day I purchased it

That's awesome man. Good luck with your build and I have a 93 3000gt and the guy sold it to me for $700. Got it up and running. Rebuilt engine and transmission. Brand new fuel pump as well and the car has a very bright future ahead😊👍

@Travis Quick I purchased mine for $900 because of a vacuum leak but I was so excited to take it home I didn't notice all the dents and that's probably the biggest money pit I'm going to have since the exterior was a 5/10 and interior 4/10

Most underrated 90s JDM car. Have a 96 SL in Mex just sitting. Thinking of bringing it to the US and restoring it. Idk maybe I should sell it and buy a VR4 instead but I’ve heard the SL is much more reliable. Anyways your VR4 is the best one I’ve seen, hyped to see what the future holds for it!

a true 90s classic

Beautiful ride man, I can’t tell you how much I regret selling mine off in my H.S. Years.

The 3000GT is more of a East Coast car. I still see them on the road every week in the DMV area. I know other guys who've said the same with Phi, NJ, and NY. The 3S is a true year round car. If kept stock and driven like an adult, this car is awesome. A VR4 is great if you're aware of oil starvation and keep things in check. The Stealth is the rare one. You will very rarely ever see a base or TT Stealth on the road. These cars get a ton of miles. Plenty around 150k, 300k.

great car, love the 3000gt

I also have a 1998 that i'm restoring. It has the Supra wing in the back and it's 5 speed manual. 24V DOHC. I also changed the back lights set to the same ones you have. I really love all the modifications you did on yours and I would love to do the same exact thing to mine. But because of the same reason financially it is very difficult to do. I replace the transmission and clutch, megan racing springs, i had to replace both heads because the valves were bent. Its been a long battle, but I'm trying to keep the dream alive. It's been my dream car since I was in my 20s. I definitely wanna get it looking like that, but my pockets 😕 not agreeing with me for now$ it's been sitting in my yard for about 3 years now and it's crushing me seeing it there while I'm working 7 days a week to make ends meet (sigh)

Just picked up a 93 VR4 last week. The money pit has begun, but hopefully come out the other end with something I hold onto for a long time.

Reason why I love Mitsubishis as well the vr4 galant like bro those things are sick but nobody knows and or talks about them the Mitsubishi Evo shadows everything else I feel

I loved the 3000gt or the sealth R/T when they were producing them and it had so much part support for them that if I didn't fall into the DSM's I would have went with one since they had so much support remember they had a engine kit for them that produced 1200 horses kick myself for not doing one for racing but it is what it is I am still happy I have my DSM its so much fun to drive.

Mitsubishi are one of the most beautiful cars ever made , other one would be a Jaguar E type. I would love to get hold of a VR4 and do the rebuild but the parts would have to come from Japan. Your right their charging way too much for parts. Nice job the red looks awesome!!

such an iconic car. the reason why it's a dying 90's JDM car is because of that motor. difficult to work on, no space to work on. most people don't want to tocuh them. it's a shame it didnt take off more than what it is.

It wasn’t the right time for the Porsche build. The 3000 gt fit right in

@MiguelDsm

Жыл бұрын

Agreed. Everything happens for a reason

Drive it like it is… don’t build it or boost over 20psi stock. Trust me, I fully built a stealth and it becomes a nightmare and so expensive due to the high cost of all the parts. The stock internals aren’t that durable (except the ‘99) and the only option for a forged crank is the ‘99 OEM crank. Stock rods are forged on all TT models but they’re surprisingly weak. Everything becomes easiest to do by pulling the engine because it can get so tight and that gets old quick. The transmissions are weak and unless you have access to industrial heat treating/hardening, and plating facilities, there’s basically no options for a better transmission. The older model transfer cases were aluminum and frail, so again the ‘99 had the stainless best transfer case. I built my car in the mid 2000’s so it was even more a nightmare than it would be now and I would never build a 3000/Stealth ever again. However, I loved the car my first few years with just BPU mods, it was a blast to drive and a monster in the snow. Did I ruin my enjoyment of the vehicle by going for big power, probably, and that’s why I say BPU the beautiful 3000 you got and enjoy it. It’s a gorgeous specimen of a forgotten JDM beauty. Thank you for reminding me of why I initially fell in love with them……. Unfortunately, my car was struck by lightning and it fried the body harness bumper to bumper. Knowing I was moving across the country and was already taking 2 other perfectly good vehicles with me, I parted my car out, trans engine and electronics to 1 guy, rolling chassis to another, 2 turbo kits to a third.. it paid for part of a college education but I spent nearly 3 years on the build and always felt like I only got to rip on it a few times. It destroyed a 750ft/lb clutch on low boost(after a full break in period obviously) so I know it had that 1000hp grail number potential. I’ve regretted selling the car ever since and I miss the love/hate relationship.

The 3S isn't that popular b/c young people honestly can't afford to own it. Most of the owner's are of these cars are over 40yrs old. Just based off what I see on the road and through forum's over the years. There's still more 3S model's than all the other Japanese sports cars from that 90s era.
