As of 11:12 central time this morning, I'm the proud new owner of a pearl white 95 VR4. I found the car on AutoTrader on Sunday night, looked at it & had the deal worked out tuesday afternoon, and picked it up out in Madison this morning. Even got it titled and registed with plates already. She's mine!

Big thanks to Jesse for helping his newbie cousin inspect this vehicle. He was even generous enough to throw in a buy-back guarantee for his assurance of the car's pristine condition. lol ... The car is seriously cherry inside and out, though.... I look forward to showing her off at the next W3S event.

Here are the details on the car:

1995 Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4
46,000 miles
Pearl White exterior / Charcoal leather interior
18" chromes
No performance mods
Protenza SO-3's with 7k on them
Alpine 3527S amp with two 6" MTX boxes
6-disc changer
Moonroof
Alpine 8045 alarm
Has front car bra (to be kept or removed??). (Already pulled off the side mirror bras.)

I might be missing something ... but long story short, low mileage and all the options I wanted. (and stock!) Only defect is the active aero does not work. Other than that, she shifts amazing, drives great, and flies just a bit better than my 4 cylinder ATX mx-6.

I was gonna post pics but the ones I took today did not turn out that well, so I'll take some pictures tomorrow. The seller already took down the autotrader ad, so I can't even steal pics from that. lol.

I'm totally in love right now. Too bad she'll be stored for three months very, very soon...

Congrats man! Would MRink be the guy who was at Road America with Jesse last April?

I will take those mirror bras if you don't want them! I'd take the bumper cover bra too if I knew it'd fit my Stealth.

Wasn't at Road America, but I was at the Rural Cruise in September. As to the bras, I'm gonna hang on to them for now. At least until I decide what I'm doing....

You lucky bastard.

This was the deal of the year as far as I'm concerned. When Matt called me Monday about this car I told him we had to look at it asap. Tuesday we go out to Lake Mills. I spend about 30 mins looking the car over, checking everything under the sun (I brought a checklist that was freaking huge trying to find SOMETHING wrong with it other than active aero).

The car is perfect. PERFECT.
Tranny? Perfect.
Interior? Perfect
Exterior and Paint? Perfect
Engine? Perfect

Hell, even the 18" chromies dont have a SPECK of curb rash or flaking on them, omg. I think I might have been more excited than Matt when we were looking at it. I was psyched. Basically, when I was test driving the car down I94 I think I said, "if youd don't buy this, you're a dumbass" or something to that effect, lol.

Sweet fucking car. To buy a 95 with LOW mileage and nothing wrong (other than active aero) for the price he got, damn. The car is a 10. Plain and simple. I can't remember the last time I saw one looking so fine.

Okay. Here I go again, I think I'm more excited than him.... hehe.

Sounds tasty, eagerly awaiting pics!

Awesome looking pictures, thanks! My computer desktop has a new wallpaper.

Sweet car man! So will it stay stock? Or are you going to set new land speed records with it? Or will you polish everything under the hood until Jesse is jealous again?

Lose the bra, those are for girls. And even those come off after a few drinks.

Wow that is a clean car. I haven't seen one that clean since they were on the dealership floor.

Let me know when you want to look at the aero.

For some light reading the shop manual has pages on it.
92-96 3000GT Chassis Manual Section 51 pages 7, 20-24

Also John's site has two pages on it .

I'm guessing the limit switches need replacement or the grease dried up both are common and easy to fix.
