@@Doctors_TARDIS Same here! I had heard the name Tavarish before, but don't think I had ever read an article by him until I found that one. Good times. :)
this is true on neither my SAAB 900 SE nor my GEO Metro, and they have the filler on opposite sides, it vexes me when I change cars for the season, other things that vex me having to get used to the location of the ignition again. Still can't wait for summer to roll back around so I can drive my tinker toy
Tavarish has the exact Red 1999 3000gt vr-4 twin turbo that is my dream car with the Big spoiler. But im happy with my Dodge Stealth r/t NA (3000gt sl) lol and its decently quick. At least its faster than my friends Brz and faster than my friends 2003 Eclipse GT.
Interesting. I had a 94 Stealth R/T (non-turbo) and while it had an awesome design, it was pretty crappy mechanically. I get that the Turbo is a different experience, but I don't miss that car at all. I wish I had been able to trade it for a MR2 or Base Supra of that gen.
Honestly, I kinda got a bit emotional when that garage door opened. A drunk driver totaled my dream car on Christmas Eve about 5 years ago. It was the worse day ever (for reason more than loosing my car as well). It’s amazing how great cars can make you feel.
@@Strunz0 They do look sick! The design is overall pretty unique. Also think Mitsubishi had a knack for sharks or somethin. Cause the front end of the 3000GT, and 2nd Gen Eclipse looked kind of like a shark to me.
My first ever car I bought was a 3000GT. I bought it like 70 miles away from my home, a really rough example, AC didn't work, etc, it had a sports clutch and I had no clue how to drive stick, it was 9PM at night. Fun time. I was looking for mods and inspiration and found freddies car and knew my dream car from then on would be a 3000GT and used his car for inspiration of what I wanted mine to be. From then I found his channel and ended up loving his content and stuck around since then. I sold it, but shortly after regretted it. I still have its VIN and I hope one day I can find it again and buy it back like freddy did.
@@ViolentMLG I really hope you can too! I've always wanted a 3000GT as well, though I don't know if I'll ever get one. I still haven't owned anything that nice, but I'll keep trying to play catch up. I did manage to get an AW11 MR2, which was always a car I really wanted, but it doesn't run. Once I get it going though, I'm not selling it! I also got an Eclipse GSX which is like the baby 3000GT. Too bad it's an utter basket case, but I'll keep loving it anyways. Good luck finding your 3000GT, or at least one that makes you happy. :)
My first car was a 3000gt vr4 that I bought with body damage from a friend and then redid it and still have it sitting in a garage I don’t think I could get rid of it
@@802Garage The Supra is how I found his channel, freakin amazing work done to it so far. Me personally, I really haven't worked on crap except like cars in auto class back in school - maybe few things outside of that.

This is awesome to see. I sold my S14 after my friend blew it up and after years of chasing it got it back and my build has been put on hold now. The car has a longer store and is so sentimental to me it brings me joy just to see sitting.
3000gt is my favorite car of all time I fell in love with it playing gran tourismo 2 on PlayStation in the 90s. If you modified it to the max it had 998hp and would do over 200mph. Never drove one but I still love that car. One day.
O G nothing serious, remember he already jacked it up in the previous owner garage before taking it to the shop. He would have seen what is wrong already by then. Anyways, there is nothing they cannot fix with this car so ho matter what it is. It’s just to keep the viewers interested.
Dented oil pan im calling it. These cars are notorious for spun bearings due to oil starvation from the pick up tube being damaged by somebody trying to jack the car up from the oil pan. The pick up tube only sits about 3mm from the bottom and can easily be damaged from any small dent.
Interesting how a man with multiple supercars, and even a hypercar, becomes the most emotional over a 20 year old Mitsubishi. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
Glad you found your old dream car, I too sold my virgin 92 VR4 when I had to move. Everything on my car was stock and even the active aero worked. Mine was the Glacier Pearl White. Love those cars but hated to work on it, dented oil pans and the timing belt tensioner was a pain in the butt.

As soon as you walked into the shop, the very first thing that I noticed is the black Impala SS. That's a car after my heart right there. I currently own a caprice classic, that my grandparents bought brand new in 1994. I fell in love with that car the first time I saw it at just 6 years old, and it was my inheritance when both of them had passed. Sadly, the car had a run in with a flatbed semi trailer and has sat in my garage, untouched, for the last 4 years. I think Its time that I get to work on her and do all the things that I've dreamed about doing to that car.
Just a tip. You can see which side your gas filler is by looking at your dash. If the gas meter is on the right side it's on the right. If left it's on the left ;)

Yeah doesn’t change it’s a cool car but this whole experience has to be staged, it wasn’t even abandoned, and once again , how would 4 new owners not change the tires once , and only add 5 thousand miles, he drove it right away , and it started instantly no issues , that house he got it from was probably one of his buddies or brothers
@@michaelerving9146 If the car were to sit for a long time, I assume that the battery would be flat, and even if the battery has any charge left, I doubt it's a good idea to start a car that has been "sitting" without changing the fluids first. So I guess that's a red flag. But welp, it's entertainment, so let's just pretend the car was abandoned.
My step father had a VR4 back in the day and he's never found a car after he sold it that has captured him in the same way. He's been thru a Vette a Viper Camaro SS Nissan Z and they just don't do the same things for him. Emotion plays a big part in what we all think is "best" so I don't blame Tavarish for this one! Good on ya bro!!
Ah high school. I remember seeing a grandma driving a VR-4 very slowly and my friend and I shaking our heads in awe. "She just don't know!" I believe that was 1999.
I know my car not as special but feel the emotion u had for your car sold my audi sline avant 1.8t 5 years ago and not been able to find it the less then 2 weeks ago pops up had no choice but to buy it back after I lost everything and come back to were I am happy got my pride and joy back
Forgive me I’m not a car person, but I love cars lol. My brother had one just like this- red paint job and leather interior. It was a beautiful car, and really low😂. He bought the car in lower Louisiana and blew the motor or the engine while test driving it because he didn’t know how to drive stick, forcing him to buy it. He didn’t have the money to fix it so it sat for nearly 3-4 years eventually selling it. It was a beautiful car, besides the fact I never heard it actually run 😂
Lmao...i couldnt imagine how he blew his motor for test driving a car in a day 😅😅😅...when i was 14 i took my dads car for a spin without him knowing, didnt know how to literally drive back then specially all his cars were manual, came to school scratchless and went back home with a busted headlights and a dented bumper. And here i am 20+ something years later still driving a manual, and my dads fist surely made history 😅😅😅
Did you not watch the video ? Not trying to be rude but he said clearly that it was in the guys garage and that the guy had no time to get around to fix it
When I had my first child I had to sell one of my 3 cars. Being a dad took priority. I regretted selling my car everyday, and I searched for it for 5 years. I finally found it and was able to get it back. I remember the moment of joy I had when I was staring at the craigslist listing for my old car.... I am glad this one found it’s way back to you.
Hey Freddy, a little tip to answer your question "What side is my fuel filler on?"................ look at your fuel gauge on the instrument binnacle, the arrow to the left or right of the fuel gauge icon indicates which side the fuel filler is.
Yes I totally agree with you Tav! The 3000gt was one of my favourite cars as well. The coupe was good looking, but the convertible version was dropdead gorgeous and made me drool! 🤤😍
I remember having 1 of these. Unfortunately my mass air flow sensor harness was in bad shape. Mostly from a previous owner. Going down the freeway and the rubber boot in my overflow tank gave out and over heated the car super fast. Well, I didn't get it over fast enough and it fried everything it knew how.
I guess the meaning of abandoned has changed over time.
Yeah.. Grass cuts itself too.
InFiD3ViL Yea apparently
@SKO MyTe its not abandoned
Abandoned and the battery is not dead?

Me too man, me too , , , , , ,
Fill up the gas tank, top up the oil, every time. I'll never miss that junk, great shame to Japanese manufacturing
I miss when Mitsubishi made the Zero.
What about the evo ? 1000 hp
Fun fact
If you look at the gas symbol in your dash,you can see the arrow going either left or right telling you which side the gas hole is at.

Thank you was going to say that. U beat me to it
Fun fact fuck you
Fun fact: shut the fuck up
@@albertodelacruz4632 shut your Ignorant ass up
M. H. P. Lol you got pissed
I own a 95 VR4. I have spent the last 3 years replacing parts, fixing leaks, all in all, taking care of the mechanical side of the car and solving all its problems. Hopefully this coming year I can finally start with the cosmetics. I love that thing!
It's actually a blessing that he didnt do anything with it.
mimixownzall it’s fake , I think the garage is a family member , or relative .. he knew exactly who had the car , and exactly where the car was , he’s saying he found it on Auto Tempest or whatever to get paid 🤨 there’s no way in hell the next 4 people added a blow off valve and never changed the tires he had on it , this is sooooo staged

@@Emppu_T. It's not funny though.

Freddie ... look at your gas gauge, there's an arrow showing the side of the gas fill.
Sorry - Freddy not Freddie!

Try living here in Syracuse, ugh.
Fark that! Our coldest day here last winter was about 2 deg c/34f and that was only 1 day. That was 1 day too many. 35c/95f today, love it.
Can’t find any of my old cars they someone totaled them 😞
This is awesome to see. I sold my S14 after my friend blew it up and after years of chasing it got it back and my build has been put on hold now. The car has a longer store and is so sentimental to me it brings me joy just to see sitting.
Im so hyped for this series, it makes me want to buy another 3000gt
3000gt is my favorite car of all time I fell in love with it playing gran tourismo 2 on PlayStation in the 90s. If you modified it to the max it had 998hp and would do over 200mph. Never drove one but I still love that car. One day.
If you do custom transmission gearing in game it'll top out at 252 mph
I've always wanted a 3000 gt vr4!!!!! Congrats on 1 million subs!!!!!
Next Episode: They found a dead critter underneath the car..
yea and thats another 2 hr video that will WASTE your time
KILL CYCLE I wonder what it was tho they found
O G nothing serious, remember he already jacked it up in the previous owner garage before taking it to the shop. He would have seen what is wrong already by then. Anyways, there is nothing they cannot fix with this car so ho matter what it is. It’s just to keep the viewers interested.
One of the previous owners?
Maybe the jacks wedged the active aero at the undercarriage
Hey Tavarish, most vehicles have an little triangle by the fuel gauge, that triangle indicates which side the fuel door is on
jat1992jat1992 fact
I can feel the love for your old found friend.
"Oh that's not good!" I can only imagine....
Dented oil pan im calling it. These cars are notorious for spun bearings due to oil starvation from the pick up tube being damaged by somebody trying to jack the car up from the oil pan. The pick up tube only sits about 3mm from the bottom and can easily be damaged from any small dent.
@@DaytonaBlueHr You'd have to be some kind of special to jack up a car by the oil pan...subframe I'd let slide, but an oil pan?...
Interesting how a man with multiple supercars, and even a hypercar, becomes the most emotional over a 20 year old Mitsubishi. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
Glad you found your old dream car, I too sold my virgin 92 VR4 when I had to move. Everything on my car was stock and even the active aero worked. Mine was the Glacier Pearl White. Love those cars but hated to work on it, dented oil pans and the timing belt tensioner was a pain in the butt.
Always amazed me how many people thought the oil pan was a jacking point
@@x2xtreme360 right! Shit blows my mind lol.
This was some need for speed forza horizon barnfind nonsense lol
Love the 3000gt VR4, back in the day, i used to sell these at the local Mitsubishi dealership. This is where i fell in love with these cars!
That Shop at the end, this car - the NFS Vibe is killing me 😁
Ok kid we get it, your a gamer😂
I love it, busted outside but goodies on the inside.
Reminds me of the cringy NFS 2015 acting skills😂

As soon as you walked into the shop, the very first thing that I noticed is the black Impala SS. That's a car after my heart right there. I currently own a caprice classic, that my grandparents bought brand new in 1994. I fell in love with that car the first time I saw it at just 6 years old, and it was my inheritance when both of them had passed. Sadly, the car had a run in with a flatbed semi trailer and has sat in my garage, untouched, for the last 4 years. I think Its time that I get to work on her and do all the things that I've dreamed about doing to that car.
this looks like the new need for speed game
@@paulcarmi8130 Apparently it's the best NFS since like..Hot Pursuit. Definitely beats NFS 2015, Payback.

Tron Born and you’re a tool.
@@DjWooPig you evil :(
Just a tip. You can see which side your gas filler is by looking at your dash. If the gas meter is on the right side it's on the right. If left it's on the left ;)
Im a simple man, tavarish uploads i watch.
I cried with you. I would take that car over just about anything. Such a classic.
You know you're driving a Mitsu when the clutch feels like you're trying to kick a boulder up-hill.
The moment he said:
"That's not good..."
I really felt that.

@@michaelerving9146 thanks for explaining all that! Never would have guessed
Yeah doesn’t change it’s a cool car but this whole experience has to be staged, it wasn’t even abandoned, and once again , how would 4 new owners not change the tires once , and only add 5 thousand miles, he drove it right away , and it started instantly no issues , that house he got it from was probably one of his buddies or brothers
@@michaelerving9146 yes, i know. Alright. I mean when there is something wrong with your car, I've been there before
@@michaelerving9146 If the car were to sit for a long time, I assume that the battery would be flat, and even if the battery has any charge left, I doubt it's a good idea to start a car that has been "sitting" without changing the fluids first. So I guess that's a red flag.
But welp, it's entertainment, so let's just pretend the car was abandoned.
I spend way too much time on autotempest just looking at cars I can't afford
You and me both.
My step father had a VR4 back in the day and he's never found a car after he sold it that has captured him in the same way. He's been thru a Vette a Viper Camaro SS Nissan Z and they just don't do the same things for him. Emotion plays a big part in what we all think is "best" so I don't blame Tavarish for this one! Good on ya bro!!
Tavarish: “I want it to be reliable”
Also tavarish only moments later: “We don’t want reliable we want exciting”🤣
Mistsubishi "i miss it when mitsubishi made money"
Ah high school. I remember seeing a grandma driving a VR-4 very slowly and my friend and I shaking our heads in awe. "She just don't know!" I believe that was 1999.
My home economics teacher had the stealth when it first came out.she was in her 60s then. Ol ms Campbell
Loved watching this. My dad actually bought the first GT3000 sold in the state of Indiana. Even got a picture of him next to it excited.
I know my car not as special but feel the emotion u had for your car sold my audi sline avant 1.8t 5 years ago and not been able to find it the less then 2 weeks ago pops up had no choice but to buy it back after I lost everything and come back to were I am happy got my pride and joy back
Maui Davison Glad you got it back, enjoy it!
Forgive me I’m not a car person, but I love cars lol. My brother had one just like this- red paint job and leather interior. It was a beautiful car, and really low😂. He bought the car in lower Louisiana and blew the motor or the engine while test driving it because he didn’t know how to drive stick, forcing him to buy it. He didn’t have the money to fix it so it sat for nearly 3-4 years eventually selling it. It was a beautiful car, besides the fact I never heard it actually run 😂
Lmao...i couldnt imagine how he blew his motor for test driving a car in a day 😅😅😅...when i was 14 i took my dads car for a spin without him knowing, didnt know how to literally drive back then specially all his cars were manual, came to school scratchless and went back home with a busted headlights and a dented bumper. And here i am 20+ something years later still driving a manual, and my dads fist surely made history 😅😅😅
Is your Brother an idiot?
@@djmech3871 yes 😂😂

I've wanted a VR4 since I played Gran Turismo on PS1.
"Abandoned" the grass was cut garbage was out shop was full, very abandoned eh?

@Go Faster If you say so chief
@Go Faster Projecting what would be my question, if I valued your opinion. I don't, but maybe somebody else will?
Did you not watch the video ? Not trying to be rude but he said clearly that it was in the guys garage and that the guy had no time to get around to fix it
3:57
It's not a poor man's GTR it's a more than just GTR it's priceless.
I had a 94 3000gt back in the early 2000s as my first car. I miss that car and I always put used tires on it lol. Life was so much easier back then.
I like how smooth the autotempest ad was placed into the video
When I had my first child I had to sell one of my 3 cars. Being a dad took priority. I regretted selling my car everyday, and I searched for it for 5 years. I finally found it and was able to get it back. I remember the moment of joy I had when I was staring at the craigslist listing for my old car.... I am glad this one found it’s way back to you.
Hey Freddy, a little tip to answer your question "What side is my fuel filler on?"................ look at your fuel gauge on the instrument binnacle, the arrow to the left or right of the fuel gauge icon indicates which side the fuel filler is.
Yes I totally agree with you Tav! The 3000gt was one of my favourite cars as well. The coupe was good looking, but the convertible version was dropdead gorgeous and made me drool! 🤤😍
Its red and its a mitsu AND ITS DUCKING AWSOME
12:50 those wheels tho😍
The car that started all its great to see the car back with you
The stock wing looks rice af but I love it
nah its ok!
BLVCK SKULL you’re right, it’s not too extreme
Fun tip. Most cars have an arrow for the gas filler side indication on the fuel guage.
That honda 3 wheeler in the back makes me feel the same way
Never forget where you came from ❤️.
I remember having 1 of these. Unfortunately my mass air flow sensor harness was in bad shape. Mostly from a previous owner. Going down the freeway and the rubber boot in my overflow tank gave out and over heated the car super fast. Well, I didn't get it over fast enough and it fried everything it knew how.
True story. I was there……
I went to school with a kid with a 3000GT did not know that the model he had was this rare. wut.
Isaiah Chester his was just like this one identical. I didnt know what these cars were all about I know nothin but thanks for the info dude!
Isaiah Chester yeah they are super cool looking so badass
Gaming Badass right, his was identical to this one said Vr 4 right on it just was cool had no idea it was anything special
Isaiah Chester The 99s that were SL’s and bases had hoop wings. I agree though, they’re fantastic cars that are tons of fun! (I’ve got a 97 3000GT)
@Isaiah Chester 400hp from the sohc v6 n/a?
