[@KCee984]

Idk about anybody else, but I’m a sucker for pop up headlights 😮‍💨🔥

[@MiguelDsm]

You’re not alone. A 1G dsm or 3s is something else

[@smolcan4984]

Same they just feel too farrrrrrrrrr ahead of their time

[@Vancev99x]

My buddy had one of these im "Hotsy Totsy Red" till a few years ago he hit a puddle sucked the front end to the highway and flipped it end over end 😢 He lived but our childhood got totalled. R.I.P.

[@machetealvarez]

All the garnishment and aesthetics necessary c'mon now it's that extra pop something about tuners Rx7 , Mitsubishi 3000 , Nissan 300z , Acura NSX ...An era of ingenuity in Japans automotive industry

[@robauerbach7709]

Yeah! The pop up headlights will probably not be seen on cars again. They fit with Mitsubishi’s idea of active aero. Hide them (reduce drag) when you don’t need them!

[@GBcris21]

Dude found a gem. Love seeing people build these cars.

[@MiguelDsm]

Awesome story too

[@GBcris21]

@@MiguelDsm absolutely. Its wonderful when people dont know what they are selling and gives people opportunities to save the cars

[@chris47374]

That car isn't the underdog of the 90's, that thing held it's own and then some of its time.

[@nickadkins7765]

It's definitely an underdog man. People still don't know what they are to this day, and yet they held their own with the other 90's legends. The 3000GT VR4 is literally the true definition of an underdog 😂

[@damirisdamir]

​@@nickadkins7765facts! 3000gts were ahead of its time! Definitely an underdog and to this day still remains underrated. Overshadowed by the eclipse but thank God they respected it enough to not make it into a crossover. I hope. 🤞 Love my eclipses too tho.

[@eddy7346]

Everyone raves about the Lancer Evo and the Eclipse but the 3000gt doesn't get enough live. That thing is truly timeless in terms of design

[@adamkessler5187]

These are the best videos. Such a simple concept but I love hearing how people’s projects pan out. I have an srt4 so anything from that time period has a special place in my heart. Keep it up👍

[@MiguelDsm]

Glad I started making them. Everyone has a story. Makes it cool to share them

[@cesarestevez3312]

I know right

[@T_Y_G_E_R_]

Mann honestly the pop ups just look so goodd. 🔥

Classics

[@dubltapz7360]

loving the 3k love i got mine when i turned 15 and still have it turning 20 this summer. all love for the underdog

[@Murph_OKC]

That's awesome! I've had my 93 stealth twin turbo for 17 years..

[@angelbruno6556]

Congratulations man! These cars don’t get the recognition they deserve. Love these cars.

[@chrisginoc]

Absolutely the under dog of the 90s. I remember seeing them around as a kid in the 90s telling myself one day along with an NSX or RX7. Glad to see enthusiasts still holding this flatform strong.

[@robauerbach7709]

I think the early models of the 3000GT VR4 will be the ones to collect. All the ideas the engineers at Mitsubishi came up with to make their super car are on the early models. One by one, year after year they dropped all the things that were originally designed to make the car unique. I have a 92 VR4 with everything still working except for the two tone exhaust. The hard choice is whether to leave it totally stock or add a little personality to it. I guess if your going to modify the car just be sure to retain any stock parts if you want to possibly return to stock. When you look at the price of even the early models of the Acura NSX they still want top dollar to own one. VR4s are a great deal for the money but that can’t last forever.

[@mephisto212]

Hey I have a 92 vr4 too, and I intend to keep it stock / restore it. The engine needed rebuilding, and I'm iterating on that. Insane how expensive the 6g72tt is now.

[@jacobasuncion3132]

I’ve been really enjoying these mini documentaries and that VR-4 🔥🔥🔥

[@MiguelDsm]

Glad to hear! Many more to come

[@AO-3914]

@@MiguelDsm I agree these are amazing. Do you ever plan on doing it for subscribers cars… if so that would be amazing!

[@MiguelDsm]

I’ve actually been considering it. It would require some travel but hopefully it’s a possibility in the near future

[@AO-3914]

@@MiguelDsm I was thinking of first doing it for subscribers near your area so it can be easier. And thanks for the response and keep up the great work!

[@Gomez561]

Great work! Your 3000GT is beautiful 🤩

[@hpmetabolics7558]

Maaaann I love it!!! Was my hero car along with the Conquest TSI!! How did Mitsubishi get so far away from being this good!!

[@markpena4097]

Looks super nice! Got to see him in irwindale yesterday! Car looks great.

[@jordanspreadbury9778]

This is beautiful bro, has inspired me to start a build on mine.

[@pFbSpecV]

Mamba mentality! Great freaking build! Thanks for sharing your build Alex!

[@blackmamba_vr4]

No one can stop us but ourselves 💯💪🏾

[@TheNoobComment]

Love the build! Cool story.

[@bryonwatkins1432]

What you say about the youngsters asking about your car, same here!!!! i bought a 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T TT AWD about a month ago!!!! Drives great so far!!!! Good power with 70,000 original miles!!!!

[@cloudrunner321]

I really like that Alex keeps stuff stock.

[@R19Robbin]

This VR4 is pretty clean 🔥🔥

[@MiguelDsm]

One of the cleanest 🤌🏻

[@antyoo]

Love it. Such an inspirational build

[@MiguelDsm]

Agreed. Cool to see these get restored

[@alonsomadrid6395]

masterpiece now im on the hunt RIP KB&gg

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

Another awesome video and love this 3000 gt

[@miq015]

This beauty reminds me a bit of a Mitsubishis version of an rx7, absolutely legendary build 🔥

[@zentallian7444]

I'm in a similar situation. I got mine last year when I was 15. tons of problems with it it sat in a field for 10 years. Have been restoring and modifying it and it's one of the best cars I've ever been in. It's rarely ever up and going but that's because I'm always doing things to in. Recently bought a second 3000gt sl in the extremely rare superior amythest pearl. Great car but doesn't compare to the vr4

[@roidxn9135]

This bro just rides good luck

[@esandstonevr4]

Miguel and Alex, I really enjoy your videos they are well done and very informative. Where did you get the rear lights for your 93 VR4? I would like to get the same for my car. Please let me know .

[@brianvaller6589]

Great video! Every time you put out 300GT content it makes me want to get one.. Maybe I can find a blown up one and drop my extra LS7 in there..

[@MiguelDsm]

That would be sick. Do it if you can find one

[@Brancovtn65]

The pop up headlights with that wing is just so sexy.

[@malaki4519]

Honestly they look more modern to me then the 94 and up. Getting one when I get back from Europe and I can’t wait

[@troyevans469]

Awesome build, wonderful story. I need that lip kit Miguel 😂

[@MiguelDsm]

I got mine through carbonetics

[@willvr4]

My first car was a 93 n/a, and within a year my senior year of high school I was working at a performance shop and the owner sold me his rebuilt engine 91 vr-4 for $6k. Engine never gave me many issues, everything else did just because of age. I still miss that car though. It turned so many heads, even back then. They're so damn rare now, I haven't seen one in years. Good luck finding a nice vr-4 for 6k these days, and that was back in 2007 haha. edit : Bro, pull out the rubber o-ring inside the boost solenoid. It's the only difference in power between the 1st and 2nd gen VR-4's, and will just give you an extra 2psi and bump you up to 320hp. Still stock.

[@clearlyzero336]

Beautiful classic! You did it right.

[@ericvonhellens8822]

Alex, sweet ride.

[@Camfindustrie]

Absolutly Amazing!!!!!

[@mladenopacic3772]

Where did you get this plastic trim under pop-ups headlight? Car looking awesome !

[@Brandzter96]

When I fix my 1995 3000gt, i went crazy on it and also had to fix every detail including my engine too

[@nickdecorse2584]

Great video bro. IDK what it is, but I cannot get over the 99 garnish. It just doesn't look right to me. Sick and clean ride bro. Congrats! I love my 91! Flip lights are awesome.

[@abrahamrivas7536]

You should do a video on drum to disc on the dsm I want to do it but I’m a visual learner lol

[@andrewarndt3792]

This bouta be my first car 🙏🏻

[@nickadkins7765]

Definitely a cool car! My brother had one as his first car. It was actually featured on thatdudeinblue's channel many years ago!

[@Tactical.chocolate]

The combat wing looks good on the 1st gen. Good for you. Does the 93 come in 6spd or is that only 94 n up?

[@Scriven42]

So, I'm old enough to have been an adult when these were new. Friend of mine had the baby US version, the Eagle Talon, and that was an awesome little pocket rocket. I've always wanted a 97ish vr4...

[@2910mack]

beautiful story

[@ChiliDucky]

lucky and hopefully you still have that luck finding good deals

[@s6xf00t]

The tribute to Kobe🔥

[@jeanbarbera8875]

Damn the same thing happened to my 3000gt it got in the accident front end damage. It was an SL but now I'm looking to get a vr4 soon.

Very good story. Good video.

[@MiguelDsm]

Thanks for watching man!

[@lawrencehenning5557]

I had a 91 VR4 with full black on black interior, custom painted pearlescent Blue thinking about finding another 1, I converted the headlights to the 99 glass and had a R34 front bumper custom fitted 😅

[@beastman.330]

Nice car and your engine bay is sick .you should put the gen 2 side skirts on .i have a red with 1993 Japanese imported GTO TWIN TURBO in U.K.. they are very reliable cars ,you can take is upto 650 bhp on stock internals safely at 960 bhp the crankshaft will crack.

[@MalikGrayWilliams]

As much as I thought these scenarios would never come true for me now I am a proud owner of at 1991 Dodge Stealth ES for $200 that I bought from my best friends father

I owed 4 3000GT and only 1 was a 92 vr4 and sold it for $4k back in 2009😔 dumbest thing ever. I just bought a stealth RT Turbo last night and plan on keeping this. Your VR4 is beautiful! What can I get the rims and tires?
