Building a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 in 18 minutes!

[@dayodii_]

This video invoked so much nostalgia for me. As a kid, I watched my neighbor build up his 3000GT into this beautiful metallic burnt sienna monster. To this day, he's the reason I got into cars in the first place. Watching the progression of his build was the highlight of that era of my life. Love the car man, great work!

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

The 3000GT is a highly underrated car. With just a few changes you can really make it look stunning, not only by the standard of its era, but by today's as well. It's a shame Mitsubishi has gone away from making the cars like this that truly defied convention. Thanks for preserving yours and really making it look like a million bucks!

[@nicosand86]

I think its hard to argue that its an highly underrated car from that era, but when you look at its competitors its quite easy to see it never really stood a chance against the Supras and Skylines and the other icons from the 90's JDM scene. And the fact that the 3000GT is known for its pretty terrible reliability didnt help it either... Having said that, I've always had a softspot for the 3000GT VR4, and I get more excited seeing one of those then I do a Supra or Skyline, and this one turned out damn nice too :)

[@banginzaza]

I agree! HIGHLY!

[@Wik3dNuTS4k]

​@@nicosand86 idk about that, i think its more so it didnt get a spotlight in mainstream media, the engines are fine, it could compete for sure being only like .3 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile against an nsx and the first gen is especially more beautiful than a supra imo, plus all the creature comforts in the interior make it still an amazing daily, add a bluetooth headunit and it might as well be a modern car, i drive mine everyday and its never felt outdated

[@nicosand86]

@Jose ricotaconachoquesadillamandillajones the engine I don't think was the issue, but the overall reliability of the cars. They're so far ahead of the time when they came it with so much fancy tech. The problem is the 4wd system was terrible, and it's the reason for the meme that all 3000gt owners have to drive around with a toolbox and a spare transmission/transfer case in boot. The wheel steering is also a known weak point. And all of these are expensive parts to fix. But even so, I still really dig the 3000GT, I think it's an awesome car that is very underrated.

[@kubaturkowski1325]

Its well rated as finding a reliable one is nearly impossible

[@waco4g63]

I have a 99gsx (5th DSM) and just bought a 95 vr4. Your vr4 videos are inspiring me to get my vr4 going. Keep up the great work.

[@MiguelDsm]

Sick! Nice to see the jump. They’re slightly more complex than a dsm but not too far off. Youlle be alright

[@WALTERRIFIC]

Hell yeah, a red VR4. Also, most replayed, "exhaust sound" and "iS tHaT a GiRl?!"

[@ZakariyaElKhamlichi]

it may sound stupid but why is it a vr4, and on the cover is written v6??

[@corderawoodard8881]

@@ZakariyaElKhamlichi Vr4 is just a trim level, has nothing to do with the number of cylinders. You’re thinking of a v6 engine, which is called that because it’s shaped like a v and has 6 cylinders. An in-line 4 cylinder engine is called an i4, not a v4. Hope that helps! 🙂

[@ZakariyaElKhamlichi]

no i was thinking about vr6, and never heard of vr4, so i thought it was a 4 cylinder in the 3000gt but i was pretty sure it has a 6 cylinder@@corderawoodard8881

[@2653.johnny]

​@@ZakariyaElKhamlichi vr6 is a totally different project that is used in volks cars, vr4 is from mitsubishi. search

So nice to see people like you showing and keeping the love for this car around for future generations to admire and learn from. Beautiful build and video.

[@JoseRamos-ql1gv]

Amazing job bro, 3000GT. One of the most underrated cars from the 90s.

[@slavagordey430]

I fell in love with the 3000gt when I was 13…in ‘93! Beautiful build man! Really happy I stumbled across this.

[@Brian-tu7yn]

Never been a big fan if the 3000GT, but yours got me to pause and admire. Great job.

[@clebermelo25]

Um dos poucos vídeos recomendados pelo youtube que valeram a pena assistir inteiro. Que transformação impressionante. O 3000GT é um dos meus carros favoritos da década de 90. Pena que existem poucos aqui no Brasil e acaba sendo inviável um projeto desses aqui. Tks bro, you did a amazing job in this car.

[@Vodafone16v]

That was plain beautiful to watch. Attention to every detail. But man... that FMIC did the TRICK! Gangsta. Hahah. Cheers.

[@urieldominguez4242]

I could watch this video all day. Almost inspired me to fix my 93 vr4

[@DarthDiabetus]

Hey man, keep up the good work! I like all the 3kGT build videos. This was a good mix of them. Happy to see another one of these on the streets. Good job!

Been a great journey so far! Glad to be able to document it

Thanks Emilio!

[@aj6761]

Stunning build. Such an underrated and underappreciated vehicle.

[@gotmesom]

great job, I had the blessing of growing up in the 90s seeing all these awesome cars on the street. Thanks for the memories. Be careful on awd launches the transfer cases are weak and you probably cant even find replacement parts. Great build!

[@emmanueln.8020]

Wow, that car completely changed. Definitely a keeper awesome 3000 GT hold onto it. 🎉🥳😎

[@fbtippmann]

I love the 99 front bumper with the 98 rear spoiler! My dream is to build a Stealth with that combo for the ultimate combination of factory curviness. This video really highlights your love poured into the build. Well done!

[@slckb0y65]

the only car that could take on the godzilla, and have a chance to win. with a proper tune this thing is an absolute monster and hands down among the top 3 best JDM car ever next to the R34 and the NSX.

[@danmoser27]

Good video! Brings into perspective on what you have brought it up from! Pure jelly! Keep it up I have really enjoyed the vr4 content thank you

[@MiguelDsm]

Always nice to reflect on the work. That’s why I love to document and recommend it to many. Makes it enjoyable to share with friends and family 20-30 years from now

Almost forgot how rough the car looked when it was black. Going red was definitely a great choice!

[@MiguelDsm]

Mannn.. had me consider selling it off multiple times haha

[@Kev27RS]

The car would have no presence in black. Red was a good choice indeed!

[@davidmosher4859]

Hey Miguel, congratulations on your VR4 build! Its nice to see someone taking the time to go through everything and breath new life back into such an amazing example of over the top 90's design/tech; I am a little bias though as I have had just a few of them. What's interesting is that the VR4's are rare but the VR4 Spyders are extremely rare and very hard to find in the wild. Maybe at some point we will see you working on restoring one of these little gems in the future. Great work on the videos and enjoy the VR4!

[@SRshinoda]

the fastest car in PS1 Grand Turismo. Simply beautiful!

[@backroads_gb]

Man this is so nostalgic for me. I had a '94 vr-4 that was also updated to 99 front bumper and headlights. I drive an s2k now but I miss that mitsubishi. This thing is goals. I am thankful the bottom insert of my door cards don't pop out everytime you close the doors in the honda though lol

I have bought '90 MMC GTO a few weeks ago. Thanks for motivation )

[@lewisburton1852]

Mitsubishi. when they want can make some legendary cars. Eclipse, eVo, 3000gt, I just purchased a 2022 outlander SEL and again Mitsubishi doesn’t disappoint it’s a head turner I get complemented a lot.

[@tylerjohnson254]

I have a 95 3000gt base model, and I wanted to supercharge it, but that twin turbo sounds sick. Just figured that since it is a base model, the supercharger would fit it great. I was also trying to mod a six speed in it without the rear end somehow. Thanks for the video. Keep that car bro there hard to find in my area.

Just bought a 1992 mk1 for christmas from me to me, got me pumped to work on it when I get some time off at easter.

Such cool song and sick 3000gt build had a friend in high school bring his brothers 3000gt and had it tuned with stage 2 turbo and blow off valve and felt so cool with the psst psst sound

[@chris092183]

These were badass cars back in the day kids. The dodge stealth was similar with different bumpers lights, badging etc. but was essentially the same car. I remember seeing rx7s for under 20k in the late 90s early 2000s. I have to imagine those are 3 times that price now. It appears you can still get vr4s for decent prices.

[@ZupGarageJPN]

you got this car on my birthday broski, I was wondering if I should get a 3000gt/gto as my next car and I seen the date when you got this. im def getting a 3000gt/gto now. not even kidding.
