I sold my SL in 05' and got a VR4, still have it 15 years later. Get a VR4.

[@DadbrosGarage]

Trust me...I want one!

[@jamesphelps3409]

Im looking constantly 😂

[@420funny6]

I bought an sl an daily drive it, bought a vr4 after an I got out of the military and try to keep it nice lol. But it's definitely the better one, all day

[@menohmachado842]

Let me just pull out an extra 30 grand

[@zentallian7444]

@@menohmachado842 nahhh I got one for my first car

[@carloshernandez8536]

My SL with 166k miles still runs like a beast. People that say they are unreliable just got a bad abused 3kgt or simply just don’t maintain them

[@dylanmartin3141]

Mine has 227,000 and runs perfect. If they have been taking care of the last forever. Also canned soda or the smaller mini cans fit perfect into the center console hha

[@jordanprice9285]

What sucks is I know people can make these fast too even in FWD form especially since Chris Hill is still has the fastest FWD 3/S to this day. I'm sure it would be fairly the same as modding a VR4 minus the extra 600+ lbs. If you have a chance, also take a look at Great Depression Racing's channel as he builds the SOHC 12V that is in his Duster which is also the same as the 12V these base models come with after 97 and up. Good video

[@DadbrosGarage]

Love to get my hands on a TT motor

[@ah2176]

It really is the perfect mix of sport and luxury for me. Went from an sl to a vr4. Will own mine for the rest of my driving life....good note on parts. I been buying shit i dont even need just because of availability.

[@MidnightClubsSR]

I'll keep that car after all the work

[@goldwolf0606]

$2500???Dude... do not sell it for that low... you’ve worked so hard on it and have fixed up so well. Just fix the paint job. So those idiots like it. They don’t know what makes a car good. They only care about shiny paint. Keep it if it won’t even sell for $5000. I bought my base model for $6000 and I thought that was a steal. There are 3000GTs (not vr4) with twice as many miles and not half as well kept as mine was for $14,000. Only junkers go for $2500. You got yours for $1000. That’s what I would pay for a project. Fix the paint job and sell it for min $5000 or keep it. These are sexy cars man. I get head turns everywhere I go. I love that man! everyone that turns their head when you drive, deep down, wants that car. $5000 is the price for a 2014 Corolla... dude... do not let that thing go for less than a used Corolla 😂!!!! Would you rather have a Corolla or a 3000GT??? Easy ass decision man. Put that in your ad.

[@DadbrosGarage]

I'm keeping it bro.

[@MaxMax-th7uz]

Had a Mitsubishi 3.0 got twin turbo with a manual gearbox , what a weapon !

[@DadbrosGarage]

Totally jealous

[@rc9192]

Been watching your build and IMHO you did a great job! I think the paint just needs a good wet sand.

[@DadbrosGarage]

I just rattle canned it and it turned out good. Video coming soon.

[@Ghost-_-Gav]

Found an 1995 sl with 62k miles and bought it for $2k. It has a fuel issue, i also need to do the 60k tune. So, while i do the 60k tune, ima go ahead and upgrade a few things while keeping it na. Stock its at like 222hp, Id like to make 250hp from mostly simple upgrades. I wanna keep it reliable at the end of the day and dont wanna take the engine apart for bigger upgrades

[@DadbrosGarage]

I agree. I wouldn't do much unless it was a VR4

[@dnegel9546]

Personally i would just try and restore it to OEM spec and if im going to keep it i would get a macco paint job and just enjoy it as a daily. It would probably be easier to sell as well. These are nice cars.. They dont age at all.

[@flubvxpr]

I found a red 3000gt with those same rims for like $4500 on marketplace 💀😂

[@DadbrosGarage]

I'm going to repaint with a clear coat

[@Sweenie.Weenie]

Lol the crickets are back again

[@DadbrosGarage]

I want to fucking kill them all dude. Its supposed to freeze Thurs night (10/15) hope they all die so I can make videos again haha

[@paradigmnine]

Here in CA you see SL's for 2-3k and vr4's for 5-7k. I'm looking at vr4's as a secondary car to the evo but all i hear are horror stories about trying to work on them.

[@maverickcheston8874]

It’s not that bad, it helps if you get a GT that’s 96 or newer cause they are OBD2 and you can use an OBD2 code scanner to help pinpoint where any issues are. The older models have OBD1 and those aren’t as specific with what can be the issue, then you have to use general automotive knowledge to track down the issue

[@arslansaeed8570]

Good more for me !

[@mesco8200]

It's tight but not that difficult, worth the effort however 👍🏻

[@mightywade27]

Ur engine bay is so clean

[@retro2409]

Dude I can’t wait to fix my 3/S it’s so sad seeing it in my drive way

[@andreslara4867]

What I'm getting from the comments is that maintenance is the most important thing to keep these cars running. Currently looking at a 91 GTO. Apart from regular oil changes, what are the other things to look out for as far as engine maintenance?

[@DadbrosGarage]

anything to prevent rust!

[@tyssed]

timing belt

[@taurobolo]

In what part of New Jersey can I get parts for a mitsubishi 3000gt ?

[@taishaleemariee437]

Mitsubishi dealership I get them from there I just started mine

[@chrisgramajo8368]

i’m going to get a 3000gt SL 1994 please help me on what parts i should get for performance also how to maintain it i like the rims might have to get those and i want a better exhaust because it has a exhaust leak but help me with what exhaust to get or the entire system

[@FollowingMyLead]

Where did you get those rims? I want these for my 3000gt

[@MrBronkitis]

i bought a 3000gt sl about year ago as my first car.. lol i’ve been fixing it since the first day i got it and it still barely gets from A to B💀 i ended up buying a whole nother car last month🤣

[@roidxn9135]

how many miles did it have when you bought it

[@Stretches_R6]

Lol I’m about to buy one as a first car 💀😂 needs transmission right away though but it’s literally perfect otherwise 145,000

[@MrBronkitis]

@@roidxn9135 170K, it was in a garage for like 10-12 years driven sometimes during the summer. one day the tank was refilled and when the car turned back on it was misfiring and stuff idk all of it, i’ve replaced most of the part i thought could’ve been the problem but not even someone i know who tunes 3000gt’s could say what’s wrong with it. idk how long it’ll take but one day it’ll work again.. then break

[@mesco8200]

Not good as a first car. Expensive cars require high maintenance. Don't buy cheap and try and maintain it cheap very bad idea. Buy one and accept they are expensive but worth the cost

[@pedrotorres8324]

Keep it man! Gt for life

[@DadbrosGarage]

We will see

[@maverickcheston8874]

Ken's Garage Keep it and throw a 4G63T engine in it and you’re good to go!

[@ansarafsar6268]

Needs a respray.Its not a twin turbo like mine.Mine hit 180mph.

[@goldwolf0606]

Damm if I had known what plastidip was when you said you were going to plastidip it, I would have told you not to do that. The average Joe likes shiny clear coat with wax.

[@victorespiritu22]

Might buy a really clean 3000 gt sl with 72k miles for $8,500, any advice on what i should check for

[@DadbrosGarage]

Rust, clean to see if the 60k mile service has been completed

[@garys1266]

Make sure timing belt has been replaced. Also make sure rear wiper switch works and there are no idiot lights on SRS, etc. on.

[@luismedina7132]

I am thinking about picking up a 94 3000gt SL. Owner says he has maintenance records to show change of timing belt. Any other items I should check before pulling the trigger? Love your videos!

[@DadbrosGarage]

I would say just be very careful trusting timing belt maintenence. I've heard of a few folks expecting an ok timing job then boom, they bent valves cause timing belt snapped or something,

[@ansarafsar6268]

They have gone up in price now.

[@rodneywilliams8007]

You can get so much more for it now!😎

[@DadbrosGarage]

haha too late. I sold it a few years ago

[@rodneywilliams8007]

Cool😎👍🏽

[@MrZYouTube]

Zero cons, end of video.

Lol

[@USAIII-bs9cj]

Was it painted with a few cans of shake n spray?

[@DadbrosGarage]

Yes, was going the cheap route

[@Pilikestortoises]

Is ~4,000 a good price for a pretty mint base model Dodge Stealth?

[@taishaleemariee437]

I will prefer to get the 3000 gt to be I will pay 4 for a 3000 gt

[@kevinlyons345]

Keep the car I have and SL the with DOHC motor with and LSD transmission 1995 in white with a really nice paint job from the previous owner. From what I’ve been told from my 3000GT car club keep the SL and buy a VR4 and have both. As bad as I want the turbos in my FWD it isn’t worth it. Keep that one and buy a VR4 and enjoy them both

[@DadbrosGarage]

Already sold it bud

[@westsidemobfamily]

Ooh rah brother

[@DadbrosGarage]

Oohrah devildog

[@MattBones311]

yeah man i would say if you are ready for the next project either go all in and get that paint looking good and sell for 4 to 5. But, otherwise start pulling it apart and selling the parts.. i feel like there is a good market for the parts. The seats, doors, fenders, rims could go for 2,500. Its more work to part out but you could def make your money plus some. I almost decided to do that with mine before fixing it. I would also throw that dude on ebay, get it out to a wider audience. Don't feel bad about being ready to work on the next thing! If you ain't moving forward, you're moving backwards!

[@DadbrosGarage]

OMG I couldnt pull it apart after all that work. I would be worried that someone else might do it too. Might just keep it til the politicians give us money again and get the VR-4 engine.

[@MattBones311]

@@DadbrosGarage So help me out here! Are these 6g2 engines not the same that are in the vr4's? im sure googling would tell me, but i was under the impression the block and internals were the same

[@az_3kgt714]

Yes and no. They are the same block. But the heads are different, you get lower compression pistons for the vet and oil squirters. You can build the engine with vet parts easily though.

[@maverickcheston8874]

The rims would not go for $2,500, you’re crazy.

[@gocaveman]

I just rescue a 94 gt sl from it's way to the junk jard just because it has a mis fire and power steering pump is bad. Paid $200. For it

Good catch

Come get it. Its buried in snow right now. I think it needs an alternator tho...battery won't stay charged. Either that or the radio is draining battery.

[@joshsimons607]

Where you located

[@mdoe8]

Plasti-dip would cover up all the texture. Put a couple hundred into red plastidip and see if that helps! Or just keep it and sand and polish it

I just decided to re-sand the car and try rattle canned it. It came out good. I'll post a video this weekend.
