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!
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 :)
@@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amazing daily, add a bluetooth headunit and it might as well be a modern car, i drive mine everyday and its never felt outdated
@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.
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!
@@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! 🙂
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
make this care midnight black with the blue flake in it and keep those wheels but make then burnt bronze and you have my dream car...i had a 92 3kGT VR4 in paint code X02 the black pearl with silver and blue flake in it...man she cleaned up sooooo well!! saved her from a field by me abandoned, cracked windshield, mold inside and a jumped time motor. after getting a crate motor from japan shipped over i fully restored that car. got to 500hp 500tq on a great tune. when i had my first kid i ended up selling her to a guy off fbook and got a 2010 Camry SE and kept the extra cash. found out last year when i came across the vin in some paperwork after looking it up that it was wrecked in a 4 time rollover. dude was doing 35 over the speed limit off and offramp and flipped her...less them 6 weeks after i sold her. seeing this vid makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. i WILL have another VR4 in my life time (im only 41 lol) but it makes me miss my Kaori very much. thank you for keeping this criminally underrated platform alive bro much respect and love from PA!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
Great Video, nice work.. I had this exact car when i was 19.. loved it. This video brought me back in time to all the mods and changes. These cars were great as they came from the factory. loved it..
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
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.
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!
I never really took notice of GT3000's before this video, to see one in detail and watch someone put time and effort into it made me a fan,they are a fine looking car 👍,nice work man.
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.
I miss mine. Had a 96 VR4 black with tan leather. Did exhaust, plugs wires, fuel system, upgraded inter coolers pretty much just the bolt on stuff. Had it tuned. What a fun car. The best part was passing SUVs in the snow with it 😁. Sold it 18 years ago.😢
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
bro this is awesome, also would like to appreciate the effort not only restoring and upgrading the car but at the same time taking great footage with it
Incredible car to bring back to life, Had a dodge stealth as my first car, been toying with the idea of picking up an RT TT to restore to its former glory, well done
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!
Mitsubishi once had the evo, 3000gt and eclipse. Lets not forgot the proper, very capable suvs they made as well that were ACTUALLY suvs! What a shame what has happened to that brand. Great build btw!
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.
I love this project build! commented in a more recent video talking a lot lol drinking :p but yeh love the content dude! sticking to the 3000gt vids then the other ones I want one so bad now hahahaha!!
It’s hard to believe how a brand like Mitsubishi stop building cars like this and even now its using Renault cars, i miss the Evo the 3000 gt and the eclipse 😢
ps regardless what you think way more mechanically inclined that me. racing a 2.2 cavalier rally sport 99 5 speed back in the day on the dirt roads from Georgia taught me how to express what I fell and what it needs and my buddy got it done every time :p yet my 2015 vw golf tsi with the stupid abs and grip system where it slows wheel spin to go over snow etc can't make the times I could in that car.. the damn thing don't even have cruise control and the car did both 5 speed like I haven't stalled out in years till a delivery in the snow up here in Wisconsin and its like how am I supposed to know where to throttle and clutch work when it does its on thing in that situation I don't get it lol im stupid
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.
Maan that was awesome 18 minuts of my life thank you for this relaxing video that put smile on my face, everything from music to video and CAR is superb. Mad respect from Czech republic
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
Love it. THey don't get enough attention/respect. Always was one of my favorites. Though, I do love them all (300Zx, Supra, NSX, FC/FD, 3kGT/Stealth, MR2, Skyline)
Not normally the biggest fans of these cars but a coworker has a really clean white one and the more I see it the more I like it. I really like how this one turned out. I feel the wheel and tire give this thing a very muscular look .
Such a great looking car, really didn't appreciate them when I was a teenager but now I'm a bit older and don't see them as often they are a real head turner

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.
Sick! Nice to see the jump. They’re slightly more complex than a dsm but not too far off. Youlle be alright
Hell yeah, a red VR4. Also, most replayed, "exhaust sound" and "iS tHaT a GiRl?!"
it may sound stupid but why is it a vr4, and on the cover is written v6??

Amazing job bro, 3000GT. One of the most underrated cars from the 90s.
Тачки из 90х,Самые Лучшие!!!
awesome build. im saving up for a 3000gt and videos like these is what keeps me motivated

As a diehard-Mitsubishi Fan i can only say: Well done man!!! A amazing looking 3000GT in a subtile way transformed. You did a very good job!!!
Stunning build. Such an underrated and underappreciated vehicle.
ABSOLUTELY CLEAN BUILD 🔥🔥
Thanks Emilio!
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!

Great Video, nice work.. I had this exact car when i was 19.. loved it. This video brought me back in time to all the mods and changes. These cars were great as they came from the factory. loved it..
Wow its been a minute since I've seen a 3000GT. Clean@ss ride bro. Thanks for sharing.
Almost forgot how rough the car looked when it was black. Going red was definitely a great choice!
Mannn.. had me consider selling it off multiple times haha
The car would have no presence in black.
Red was a good choice indeed!
that red color makes it look like a toy, I'd prefer a deep grey or something
@@tazmainian3479 Looks good in red!
It has presence! 👍
The car would look "boring” in a deep grey etc..
That was plain beautiful to watch. Attention to every detail. But man... that FMIC did the TRICK! Gangsta. Hahah. Cheers.
Wow, that car completely changed. Definitely a keeper awesome 3000 GT hold onto it. 🎉🥳😎
This was an inspiration, thank you.
How long did it take you to get the car built to this current state?
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

Just stopped by to say that that's a very clean GTO in the thumbnail, very cool, always wanted one since playing the first Gran turismo
Super clean 3000GT VR-4 I’ve always wanted to swap a 4g63 into one 🔥
That’s still a possibility on this one. Let’s see what happens. Would be cool to see
the fastest car in PS1 Grand Turismo. Simply beautiful!
What a journey for the build and much more to come broski🤙 keep it up bud
Yessir! Thanks for being part of the journey 🤙🏼
Stunning build. Such an underrated and underappreciated vehicle.. Muy buen trabajo,impresionante!!!!.

Still Remember going to a Mitsubishi dealer in 98 and deciding. What to get a Gsx or a Vr4 !! Great Work bro 😎!!
Always likes these cars…good work on bringing her back.
Criminally underrated car. One of my favorite Japanese cars. Great job on the rebuild
I agree, I absolutly love the version with pop up headlights.
that thing is beautiful, it just kept getting better and better
so nice, glad to see another back on the road
Mitsubishi once had the evo, 3000gt and eclipse. Lets not forgot the proper, very capable suvs they made as well that were ACTUALLY suvs! What a shame what has happened to that brand. Great build btw!
Amazing to see peeps put so much effort and love into rebuilding a car.

Thanks Andrew!

Wowee wow wow!! This video made my heart go, pitter pat!
Fantastic video sir! Keep up the great work!
use wd-40 spray to remove rust on metal parts easily. great work 👏🏼👍🏻
