      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!

    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.

      You are not going to simply "drop" an LS into that car because the engine is transverse mount. There are a few guys who have done LS swaps but none of them turned out that well and they were a TON of work. If you are after BIG power in a 3KGT then 4G swap is the best option.

    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.
