That was some sick work you guys!! Bringing back to life something many would think to be dead already, seeing so much potential where others would just see a pile of junk... And what a beauty!! Thanks so much
Politics ruins art... Most car makers don't make really good looking cars because then no one would buy another car after that... the business model is middle-class people buying the next version every 5-10 years. Add to that, manufacturer alliances such as Mitsubishi-Nissan-Renault, and now only one car maker does each type of body style and does not compete... Only a seperation of body & technology will allow artistic cars again...
Eric Her none of these cars were ever affordable for the middle class when new LOL if you calculate inflation the 3000GT VR4 was $85,000, the VR4 Spyder was over $120K, the 300ZX was $70K, RX-7 was $75K, Supra was $80K, NSX was $150K and some over $200K, and the GTR-R34 was $150K not sure what you mean affordable to middle class LOL theres a reason why these cars are still expensive and appreciating, these arent miatas or 370Z shit boxes. These cars were supercars of their times, not normal everyday sports cars like a BRZ LOL
@RaVeN He's japanese, so it is not his mother tongue. Plus he only missed an S, while you surely can't even speak more than one langage. This dude just was super cheerfull with a great comment. Please present your excuses to him.
Nice work. Just as I imagined in my head how perfect 3000GT should look, you made it reality. I would just add black grill on bumper, but again, very good job you did, guys.
@@manitobenson140 yes, they are super rare. I've seen one only once in person in my lifetime and that was like 20 years ago. I'm cousins ex-wife's family had one.
@Clark Kyle yeah who gives a shit what you seen. I still like how it turned out regardless of how they did and would drive the hell out of it. Sure the 3000gt was very common but were talking about the rare 4 wheel drive version, not the fwd BS. And the vast majority didn't look murdered out like this.
@GET RAD that's why I said vast majority. With that being said, I have a personal preference and taste of how my cars should look, and based on my personality, the look of this car would fit me to a "t". Cold-blooded assassin, natural born killer.
And the craziest part for me is that I have been through damn near every inch of my Dodge Stealth RT that I had and without it I wouldn't have learned how to build an engine correctly. Not only was it a fun to drive vehicle it was a learning experience that I will never forget and I suggest everybody should undertake because when you Crank It Up and it's a alive and you know you built it there's no other feeling like that.
100,000% likewise. I cannot even begin to convey the amount of things and ways of thinking that I learned from working my handful of 3S and those of all of my frriends over the years from 2007 to 2017. Watching these 10 minutes was like watching a timelaps of my lifes experiences from those past 10 years. So crazy.
That's something i hope to get into one day as a hobby. It's too hard to work on my car when I'm a full time university student but once I have weekends available ohhhhhhh BOY
@@Scirollo This is in no way to disparage you, but you're going to have to get used to 16 hour days, especially with school being primarily and as you get deeper into the work. Find friends with 3S's. That will save you tons of time and headache and it'll make things more fun. If you have to and there isn't one already, start a local 3S club, I did that and it was one of the best things I could have ever done. Final word of advice having been exactly in your shoes in 2007, if you want to be serious about, don't let relationships get in your way, if they don't fully support the passion, they won't last anyway, your mistress will be your Stealth and chances are she'll treat you better than any human will over the long run so long as you do the same for her. Anyone know knows will know exactly what I mesn. Edit: But whatever you do, don't stop or slow down with school because of the 3S work. Sounds obvious but the deeper you get the more you'll face temptation. The struggle is real lol
@@thebluriam Oh yeah, thanks for the advice. You're obviously very wise and have gone through the rounds of this stuff. I'll take everything you said into account haha. And yeah, school has always been the number 1 priority for me. Thanks!
@@Scirollo Haha, not wise, I've just been beat to shit under and inside a lot of 3S's. One of the greatest calls to adventure, purpose, and meaning ever. Worth it all.
I couldn't agree more I have owned 3 VR4's and I would pay top dollar for this beautiful piece of machinery. 20 years later and it still looks phenomenal
@Denchik ShowEm The first one I bought was a brand new one in 1998. Had to sell it when I got married. Didn't make as much money then, so I needed some more "family friendly". Second one was 8 yrs later. Much better job = much more money. So I bought one as a secondary vehicle to my Jeep. Had it for a couple years and was involved in an accident and it was totaled. The 3rd one I bought was from a friend of mine that needed money and was moving overseas, so I picked it up. Now that one wasn't treated well. A bunch of work needed to bring it up to my standards. So I sold it to my nephew super cheap so he could put the work in to it to bring it up to par. So seeing one like this (super clean) makes me wanting another one. And if I were to get one again ... I would want something tuned and a beast. Like I said before... This is one of my all-time favorite cars. I have so much nostalgia with them.
the supra, 300zx, 3000gt, rx7 and im sure i missed others. good times. i still have my 300zx tt. unfortunately, it doesnt run but maybe one day it will again.
I run the car maintenance RUclips channel in Korea. I'm always learning such a great ideas on your channel. I hope we have a chance to be together. Thank you.
My father and I own a 91 Stealth TT and absolutely love how this turned out. We are currently pushing around 560awhp. Fully built engine with a moderate tune. But no where near as good looking as this 3sgt...
I agree. I've owned 3 VR4'S and I would gladly pay top dollar for this one to be my fourth. This car is absolutely timeless. 20 years later and it still looks phenomenal
I LOVE this car. So underestimated. While all my mates were talking about a Supra with ''just'' rear wheel drive I was just thinking about this dream machine. I'd pick this over a Supra any day 😎👌
The Stealth TT, especially last year '96, is insane. Example, '96 Stealth is Z15A chassis (smaller/lighter) vs all 3000GT VR4 and older Stealth's which are Z16A chassis (bigger/heavier) to support AWS. My Stealth is way faster/funner than my VR4 Spyder. Both rad cars!!
When I was younger I really wanted a 3000GT, but there were very few in my area to begin with, and the ones that would pop up for sale were way too expensive for my college boy budget....This was back in 2001-2002. So I ended up getting a 1G AWD Talon and just modified it (20G, PowerFC, FIC 850cc, Sheptrans, custom FMIC, 3" turbo back, etc.). I can't believe, I almost forgot about this car. - Thanks for the great video and the reminder!
from what i heard ... it was quite a rare car - parts were therefore equaly expensive so much less tuner potential in that regard. Theres a reason everyone is building gt86s and brzs right now. Theyre easy and cheap to get. Probably just like silvia and rx7 parts back in the 90, not to mention civics.. For ex. I only heard about one gt 3000 somewhere close to me, in my 30 years.. That says a lot. While 90s civics were almost like a first car to many of my budies.
For those of us who have been watching this particular build we know it took a hell of a lot more than just 10 minutes and a lot of solid effort and thoughtful work went into this project to make it a awesome reliable give away car. Makes me wish I had the money to buy the $500 3000GT I saw on Marketplace. For most people this is a project car that is just Out Of Reach. If I was to get any car right now regardless of how much money I had it would be a 3000GT or Dodge Stealth RT TT
Michael Dolan not much. You can find some less than 5k. I’ve got my own vr4 from the year it came out so it has all the things you want. But I don’t have the time nor money to fix it up to my liking. The only problem that you will run into is the ones that are basically dead and need a lot of work. I’m lucky that I found one that runs and drives with most of the quirks working for 2500. I just can’t drive it hard due to not running for 11 years. So I need to rebuild of a lot stuff especially the turbos since they are consuming tons of oil. Other than that it is a cheaper build but most people won’t like to work on it because the engine bay is so cramped. But once done that engine sounds beautiful I know
I come from a JDM family and I’m proud of that. When my dad was 17, he had a 300zx twin turbo and when he was 19, he had a 97 mk4 twin turbo supra and his brother(my uncle) has an rb25 swapped s14 240. When my mom was 15, she had a 3000gt and an eclipse with a long factory spoiler and her brother(also my uncle) had a straight piped 350z with sick rims. A few years back my dad had an 09 r35 gtr which also counts as a jdm I guess. 🤷♂️ 😎 Edit: I’m blessed and thankful
Chris Hannivan yea I know that but the latest model for the mk4 was 98. I’m still thinking until this day why it says until 02. That’s when I was born lol
What a lot of people dont know is that not only is Mitsubishi one of the oldest companies in the world (they started in the 1800s as a conglomerate), but Mitsubishi also built the Japanese Zero fighter plane in World War II. They have certainly come a long way, to going from building warplanes to building classic JDM cars. And of course, with this 3000GT V6, the Classic Black look never goes out of style.
Gorgeous car - really is right up there with the Skylines and Supras, IMO... Man Japan, why don't you make cars like this anymore? 😢 Seemed like every Japanese manufacturer was pumping out at least one great looking sports car in the late 90s and early-mid 2000s. (I should add, I'm definitely a domestic guy - but I do still love the Japanese machines)
Adeum Deus Tayto because it was the golden age for Japanese companies to make cars like these that golden age is long gone, now it’s rusty Bronze Age lol
...desde a primeira vez que vi um 3000GT eu fiquei louco por esse carro, acho muito lindo. O trabalho de vocês ficou muito bom, na verdade todos os trabalhos que tenho visto no seu canal são surpreendentes na qualidade e bom gosto. Parabéns e muito, muito sucesso para tosdos...
To think that Mitsubishi made great cars like the vr4 so long ago not to mention the super evos , that I'm a proud owner of. Hey great work boys!!! Good luck to all
Thank you for taking a classic from my childhood that was completely neglected and turning it back into the black beauty that it was leaving the factory
@@mikeford963 FTo is 2liter v6 fwd only , totaly different beast , still nice ive had 4 Gpx's with variable cam timing. also had a 3000Gt like this one but 450hp not 410. 4 whel steering ,six speed box twin turbos, custome exhuast . real beast. love them all.
Really like the video. Over here in Tokyo and just go my hands on a low mile, super clean, completely stock 97 GTO. It’s going to be my first attempt at a proper build.
To all the builders Josh ,Even Micky, Ricky and everyone else well done ,Just a job very well done for your fans and then to give this artwork away ,amazing people at the shop. God Bless and keep Throtling forward
I had a 91 300zxTT ... Never again. Glad I had it but never again. Constant work... Or just look at it...but I am a driver... It's work ..they are moody cars
@@zionakinjide650 usually shops have specialised sinks with filters to avoid metal particles (such as clutch dust, brake dust) to be dispersed in the environment and pollute the shit outta everything. That's also used at car washes for the same reason
You aren't. Kinda disappointed because I'm no hippy tree hugger but that is not cool. I definately try not to let any petroleum products or chemicals enter our storm drain systems or into soil/ground.

I have a 1991 Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL. Paid 1,500 for it 2 years ago. Gears are going out as I have to keep it out of overdrive as that gear wont work. Slowly they going out. Had both rear wheel bearings replaced and they had to order the parts from another car somewhere across the country for that. 250 bucks each plus labor which dropped my jaw. Then cost me 700 bucks for a tuneup new plugs and wires and the works. Now it smokes at stop and goes but not while driving. Learned it needs new valves and they say about a $1,600 labor and parts. I've had other small things done to it to and the passenger window motor went bad and had it replaced that cost near 400 bucks as well. This car will cost ya money but man I love them. My daughter wants to buy it as it runs still with 158,000 miles on it. Gonna sell it for 2 grand to her as she is getting a car accident settlement for near 20 grand and plans to have it rebuilt and trans rebuilt and new paint job and body work job. Once all that is done she will have a hot ride. Wish I had the money to do what is done in this video to it or I'd keep it but Im too poor to having this done to it so I hope my oldest daughter fixes it up good when she turns 18 and gets her settlement money and gets the work started on this first of its kind 1991 3000 gt sl. Love these cars. The VR 4's are bad ass to! Hard to find those though.
Awesome car! I love that you left the body stock! I used to have a red one. Sold it because I couldn’t afford to do what you just did! Maybe I’ll get another one of these days!

These cars have always been one of my favorites. Gotta love old school Mitsubishi. Kinda reminds me of an NSX in a way too
I absolutely love this build. Keeping it stock but completely restoring it putting on your own style and touches. awesome work!
That's a bit more than stock, especially with the FMIC. Plus a stock would only put down like 260awhp on a dyno, not 400.
Seriously impressive guys. Some hard working and smart dudes in that shop.
I come from a JDM family and I’m proud of that. When my dad was 17, he had a 300zx twin turbo and when he was 19, he had a 97 mk4 twin turbo supra and his brother(my uncle) has an rb25 swapped s14 240. When my mom was 15, she had a 3000gt and an eclipse with a long factory spoiler and her brother(also my uncle) had a straight piped 350z with sick rims. A few years back my dad had an 09 r35 gtr which also counts as a jdm I guess. 🤷♂️ 😎
Edit: I’m blessed and thankful
Yaseen Ali - just curious but I thought they discontinued the supra in 94/95 - do you know someone at Toyota?? Lol
Chris Hannivan no the Mk4 went from 93-98 lol.
Yaseen Ali actually we may both be wrong - I googled it and apparently they ran til 02 - lol well atleast I learned something new I guess lil
Chris Hannivan yea I know that but the latest model for the mk4 was 98. I’m still thinking until this day why it says until 02. That’s when I was born lol
Brian Hammond yeah that is right. It’s USDM. No JDM
What a lot of people dont know is that not only is Mitsubishi one of the oldest companies in the world (they started in the 1800s as a conglomerate), but Mitsubishi also built the Japanese Zero fighter plane in World War II.
They have certainly come a long way, to going from building warplanes to building classic JDM cars. And of course, with this 3000GT V6, the Classic Black look never goes out of style.
Sweet build 🤘 I'm impressed with all the skillsets you'all have -- engine, transmission, breaks, you know it all!
You guys did something amazing, like WOW. That 3000GT looks beautiful😎
Love the video!!! The 3000gt was one of the best looking Japanese cars of the 90’s.
I've watched this video twice. Might purchase a 97 vr4 tomorrow. Wish me luck
How did it go?
@@shockjockey5274 brooooo. It needed a radiator and the all wheel "steering" is leaking.
@@christiantorres8858 AWS is all vacuum lines, radiator is not too bad man.
@@thomasb.fournier735 it was awful man, the paint was beyond repair..smh
@@christiantorres8858 sucks... maybe next time!
Legend has it the build only took 10 minutes.

@@yohangarcia2371 yes
ConFall good I didn’t want to have to hit you with the woosh, I only do it when necessary. Tis a dangerous practice
@@yohangarcia2371 r/whooosh
one of the best looking cars ever made.
Gorgeous car - really is right up there with the Skylines and Supras, IMO... Man Japan, why don't you make cars like this anymore? 😢 Seemed like every Japanese manufacturer was pumping out at least one great looking sports car in the late 90s and early-mid 2000s.
(I should add, I'm definitely a domestic guy - but I do still love the Japanese machines)
well at least we got the new *Toyota* Supra! oh wait...
R35 is still being made.
@frank white sounds pretty terrible to me, although the modern cars u mentioned are decent in their own right
Adeum Deus Tayto because it was the golden age for Japanese companies to make cars like these that golden age is long gone, now it’s rusty Bronze Age lol
Adeum Deus if only car companies realized how much we love those cars😕
Your truly blessed to have the time and resources to do this type of project. Mad jealous. Good work.
I love seeing old cars being rebuilt again. They are like stray puppies who finally found a home. Makes me feel warm inside :) .

My favorite car growing up. Dodge Stealth was up there too.
The design of the 3000gt is timeless.😀
...desde a primeira vez que vi um 3000GT eu fiquei louco por esse carro, acho muito lindo. O trabalho de vocês ficou muito bom, na verdade todos os trabalhos que tenho visto no seu canal são surpreendentes na qualidade e bom gosto. Parabéns e muito, muito sucesso para tosdos...
This is my dream car the GTO was one of the only JDM sold in Brazil and it has always been my favourite this is one of the nicest builds I've seen
外国人のカスタムマジで
センスの塊！！！
Вот это я понимаю поработали на славу! Респект и уважение мастерам.
Great video video, keep it up. Its awesome seeing the progress on the vr-4.
To think that Mitsubishi made great cars like the vr4 so long ago not to mention the super evos , that I'm a proud owner of. Hey great work boys!!! Good luck to all
And planes, like the Mitsubishi Zero!
Brian Hunter they still make planes lol
@@bri-manhunter2654 zero is war plane
@@ahmedislam2580 . Not sure what you are implying, I know exactly what a Zero is🤷🏼♂️
@@bri-manhunter2654 okey bro red evo is yours
Thank you for taking a classic from my childhood that was completely neglected and turning it back into the black beauty that it was leaving the factory
It was known as the “Mitsubishi GTO” in Japan.
And the FTO before that
Mike Ford no, the predecessor of the gto was the Starion. The FTO is a completely different vehicles built for a different class.
@@mikeford963 FTo is 2liter v6 fwd only , totaly different beast , still nice ive had 4 Gpx's with variable cam timing. also had a 3000Gt like this one but 450hp not 410. 4 whel steering ,six speed box twin turbos, custome exhuast . real beast. love them all.
@@acoder912 sweet. Learn something new everyday!!
I cant even clean my car in 10 minutes. YOU GUYS ARE FAST.
they put days of working on that car into one time lapsed video thats 10 minutes long, they didnt actually build the whole car in 10 minutes
@@armanmann6021 @r/wooooosh
😂😂😂😂This comment made my day 👊🙏
Really like the video. Over here in Tokyo and just go my hands on a low mile, super clean, completely stock 97 GTO. It’s going to be my first attempt at a proper build.

What an awesome job guys Attention to detail i loved every step of the way
One lucky person will drive this bad boy home
One of the most desirable legends of the Japan 90's era. Great job for a great car
Y'all even got a Jalopnik feature on this one! Awesome
To all the builders Josh ,Even Micky, Ricky and everyone else well done ,Just a job very well done for your fans and then to give this artwork away ,amazing people at the shop. God Bless and keep Throtling forward
Didn't know people still go to Jalopnik lol
That designed still looked modern today same with 1994 plus Supra
That's what one would call "timeless"
Facts bro
Along with the RX7
@@Kwijiboi I do think the rx7 looks good but I can tell it's from the 90s. Where as the supra and 3000gt look very modern
This is one of my favorite cars ever, love this video
Wow! Mitsubishi's 3000GT car is not very popular in Japan, but I love it! Someone like you will be remodeling this car and he will be very happy!
also known mitsubishi gto in japan
Amazing! While watching I felt like playing/watching Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 IRL!
Just bought a 92 stealth r/t, this video is getting me motivated to get it looking clean
this was my car in grand turismo 1 back in the day.
Same it was the fastest
Thank you gran turismo
Great game!
These cars are just like 300zx's imo. Beautiful and my heart wants one, but my brain knows better lol
Why lol my 300zx tt has been reliable as could be just timing belt and oil changes
@InnerGuide perhaps they are cars for the mechanically inclined to have
@@TrumpWonGetOverIt that's no lie
I had a 91 300zxTT ... Never again. Glad I had it but never again. Constant work... Or just look at it...but I am a driver... It's work ..they are moody cars
300zx twin turbo is as reliable as a Toyota Camry with 50k miles 😜
I'm Siberian from Russia, i love "JDM". I like your channel!!!
この頃の三菱は輝いていたね
トヨタはスープラ、日産 はGTRホンダはNSXスバルはインプレッサにマツダはRX7と日本車が隆盛を極めていた時期が大好き
Omfg it’s beautiful. Literally brought back from the dead.
wow beautiful 3000GT!!
I really want to win this but i already have a 3000gt so i didnt enter.
I really want this but I live in Europe so I didn't enter

Why not have 2???

Fantastic job beautiful build keep it up

Amazing work guys truly amazing
RUclips coming in "clutch" with the recommendations👌👌
I watch this almost everyday. 6G72 powa all day
Hey it's my dream car except I like mine with the pop up and down headlights
Mine had those. Smashed it while racing though. Ended up doing a 3rd gen front end swap.
I need to start working on my 3000gt
Damn, I do miss that car. used to have a red 93 VR4 in the Army. Great memories in that car. Loved this build!
Can't believe Ur allowed to wash engines on street.
So professional
so what
@@zionakinjide650 usually shops have specialised sinks with filters to avoid metal particles (such as clutch dust, brake dust) to be dispersed in the environment and pollute the shit outta everything.
That's also used at car washes for the same reason
You aren't. Kinda disappointed because I'm no hippy tree hugger but that is not cool. I definately try not to let any petroleum products or chemicals enter our storm drain systems or into soil/ground. It contaminates it and could cause an issue to living beings wether humans or animals. Life is precious, much more precious than material items. Life is definately more precious than a dirty motor. Thoroughly enjoyed the build and car but that kinda ruined it.
@@zionakinjide650 yeah man so what ....so what me no American citizen me shit on the road in ma country and me cut beef on the road .
Oh yeah me hang someone by neck on road and then eat his heart.
This is a third world country isn't it ?

Came out unreal, mad work guys 💪
impressive to see some good mechanics, Americans, restore Japanese cars. I love this workshop !!! greetings from Spain
Since you guys wanna hop on the mistubushi train maybe try and find an eclipse to restore? Im rebuilding one myself and itd be great to see what you guys do for restoration and power mods
GSX of course. While they’re at it, they could also go full 80s and build a Starion
I have a 1991 Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL. Paid 1,500 for it 2 years ago. Gears are going out as I have to keep it out of overdrive as that gear wont work. Slowly they going out. Had both rear wheel bearings replaced and they had to order the parts from another car somewhere across the country for that. 250 bucks each plus labor which dropped my jaw. Then cost me 700 bucks for a tuneup new plugs and wires and the works. Now it smokes at stop and goes but not while driving. Learned it needs new valves and they say about a $1,600 labor and parts. I've had other small things done to it to and the passenger window motor went bad and had it replaced that cost near 400 bucks as well. This car will cost ya money but man I love them. My daughter wants to buy it as it runs still with 158,000 miles on it. Gonna sell it for 2 grand to her as she is getting a car accident settlement for near 20 grand and plans to have it rebuilt and trans rebuilt and new paint job and body work job. Once all that is done she will have a hot ride. Wish I had the money to do what is done in this video to it or I'd keep it but Im too poor to having this done to it so I hope my oldest daughter fixes it up good when she turns 18 and gets her settlement money and gets the work started on this first of its kind 1991 3000 gt sl. Love these cars. The VR 4's are bad ass to! Hard to find those though.
I can barely change my ligh bulbs in ten minutes and this guy builds up a car. Legend!
Amazing car, job and video bro ❤
When cars used to look gorgeous 😍
Hell yeah 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Awesome car! I love that you left the body stock! I used to have a red one. Sold it because I couldn’t afford to do what you just did! Maybe I’ll get another one of these days!
Owner: "So what's the damage, guys?"
Them: "Well, we rounded it up to 15 minutes of labor so call it $50 for the install :)
Thats how the way to doit rite
Awsome BLESS for the crew ☝☝☝🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪👍👍😎from the other side P.R.#MANOARRIBA

No music plug? Whats the song?
