    Today is the epic finale of my Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 saga, and it's almost too much to handle. I can't express in words how this car makes me feel. BIG thanks to Jared and everyone else that helped get this project FINISHED!

      I’ve owned a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant. I bought it brand new. There’s something special about Mitsubishis especially from the 90s. Yes they have faults but you can definitely sense the rally heritage in their cars. Great engines, good handling, beautiful designs, and comfortable cars. I have owned several cars since I sold it including a BMW E92. But no car touched my heart like Mitsubishi.

    I was just starting high school after the first Fast and the Furious came out, so all my friends and I, naturally, wanted to be super cool street racers. For my first car I really wanted either a 3000GT V4 5-speed, a turbo 300zx 5-speed, or a 96' or newer Trans Am 6-speed (Or Supra or FD RX-7 but realistically they were far out of my price range). All I could afford in the end at 16 was a 95k miles, 1.8 liter Mazda MX-3 GS 5 speed with a flowmaster exhaust for $3,000. But it didn't stop me from (slowly) racing against friends haha.
    Today, looking a little deeper into the 3000GT when I know (slightly) more about cars it amazes me how awesome the 3000GT V4 was, especially for '94. That '94 VR4 was a coupe with a very advanced 4WD system and did 0-60 in like 5.2 seconds stock, and in early-mid 90's low 5's was really fast. Like, supercar territory. Ferrari 512 times. Serious beast. Probably closest thing you could get in the states to an R33 or R34 Skyline. Very pretty aesthetically too - love those long Japanese 90's coupes with that 'third door' partial hatch with huge spoiler. Some day, if I can financially swing it, I would like to get a clean '96+ Supra or clean 3000GT VR4 or FD RX-7. I might currently be running an American V8, but I grew up lusting after Japanese imports and they'll always have a special place in my heart.

My old truck that I drive when I’m not driving a company vehicle is a good old Chevy 350 engine but I have a very sweet spot in my heart for the Nissan 300zx or Mazda RX-7 FD. I’d love to find one and do something similar to this video with it.

    • @angry_zergling
      @angry_zergling Před 4 lety +3

      @@blueline15 Yeah same! I couldn't really afford one of those cars similar to the ones we liked back in the day (at least not a reliable one) so last year I bought a 2007 Mustang GT 5-speed manual instead. It's not very fast but it's the fastest RWD manual car I could get for a decent price that still had low mileage, and it despite the 15 miles per gallon thing it fits the bill as a reliable daily driver. After going several years of driving a really slow fuel-efficiency mobile with an automatic it feels great to go zipping around banging through the gears in a loud ass car again. It really lit a fire in my soul and reminded me why we used to dream about cars and I hope that someday soon I'll be in the position to get one of those Japanese cars we'd all drool over back in high school.

      @@angry_zergling nice, man. Nothing wrong with that. Owning fun cars, fortunately, doesn't ever have to stop with age and we have many decades of life to go to own those cars. My work has a '06 Mini w/ the 5-speed manual. It's not even the S model, however, I drive it the most since no one else likes the manual, and I'm not going to lie, it's a pretty fun little car to rip around in. Turns quick, sounds pretty good, and the torque kicks in around 3500-4k so it just asks to be driven hard.

      @@blueline15 Hell yeah, a car doesn't have to have tons of horsepower and be rear/AWD to be fun. Really tiny FWD cars with manual transmissions can be tons of fun, too. Twisty-turny roads where you can really practice the technical aspects of driving. With more powerful vehicles you're always on the knife's edge if you're pushing them to their limits, but with more relaxed sports cars you can push them hard without making each turn a life-or-death series of decisions. So you can keep the pedal buried but still have a fun time without having your heart caught in your throat for the duration.

    There's something about 90's cars... something magical. They aren't flashy, the interiors are cheap plastic. But find a good back road and the connection you feel with your car makes up for the lack of amenities. No distractions. Just you and the driveline

      And you can do everything on your own. Most of the Cars you get today make it seem that the manufacturers want to keep you from doing things yourself. My first car in 2007 was a 19 Year old Mercedes Benz diesel built in 1988, which was my birth year. I loved that car so much, you could fill it up with 2 bottles of booze and it would run lmao. No joke! Engine had half a million on the clock the day i sold it and it had NOTHING wrong except changing a faulty diesel pump. Sold it because taxes got to expensive and i was just starting my apprenticeship and had little money. I miss that old thing to this day. Prob. not going to be as lucky to get it back. I would still run though, i`m certain of that!

I just got myself a 2015 Civic Si and within a few days I have lowered it, exhaust, rims and tires, some video cams front and back, some lighting, and just today I fitted a roof rack because I plan on making my own dream come true this coming summer. To drive from where I live in Winston Salem, NC to San Francisco, CA. Cross country road trip. No motels, we will be camping. And anything we see along the way, even if its 20 miles out of the way, we will go see it. So it wont be a straight shot. I am a freelance video/photographer and a license drone pilot with a new 4k drone, so I want to get tons and tons of footage of the country from coast to coast. Ive had this dream sense I was 17. Im 40 now, so its time. And after seeing your adventure, it makes me look forward to my own just that much more. Thank you and Jared Pink for sharing your own experience.

      I must have missed something because I remember him being rather relaxed and wanting to sell it just so he can move to Florida. He got lucky that he got it back. If I would have bought it it would have been mine forever. Red on black, my dream combo, but hate the 99 spoiler, 97,98 was the best looking one, least functional, but still best looking on the car.

    Man, this pulled at me for my own love of the 3000GT. It was my second car.. first actual sports car. Just the SL non-turbo model with a 5-speed. I traded it on something else when the problems were more than I could afford at 17/18 years old.. and I’ve always wanted to replace it ever since with a 99 VR4. This film gave me the satisfaction of seeing another car guy not only have the same passion for the same car, but go do something about it and then enjoy the hell out of it. Thanks for this. Thanks for all the great passionate, personal content.

This series really brought back some amazing memories of growing up reading my issues of Super Street magazine and being all into cool import cars like this one. In my old age I’ve transitioned into pick ups but after seeing this video, one of my new goals is to find one of these bad boys and restore it, hopefully with my kids.

    1996 Ford Ranger, 4.0, single cab, short bed. I had it from 1998-2011. Purchased with 27k miles, left it with 334k miles.
    I knew every sound. I could FEEL how fast I was going. After hauling load after load of decorative rock, helping friends move, moving myself at least 12 times, going to/through 32 states, and getting married and having a kid, the transmission finally let go and it went to the recycler yard to become one of thousands of cubed wrecks.
    I have spent the last 2 years, since my divorce, looking for its replacement. Unfortunately, regardless of how bulletproof the 4.0 engine was, the rest of the truck is apparently hard to take care of. Nothing but junk found.
    I've had much newer cars. I've owned faster vehicles, more expensive vehicles, better looking vehicles, but all were heartless fiberglass, plastic, and cheap foreign crap.
    Were I a rich man, I'd own a showroom condition, "new", 1996 Ford Ranger to once again go coast to coast, drive daily, and thoroughly relive ages 19 to 30 in.
    I spent days straight in its comfy seats. It survived an ex girlfriend slamming it in neutral. I was even homeless for 11 months, sleeping in the cab (I'm 6'2" and weighed almost 300lbs at the time) at a rest stop on I-475.
    Everyone should have that ONE vehicle they'd rather do 70 mph in than some flashy sporty junk that can do 200. I'd trade a testicle AND a kidney to get that truck back as it was when I purchased it for 10 grand back in 1998.

Where all the well known and not so well know car CZcams's get together and have a road rally of there own ...

    After 6 months I finished it and it worked perfect.
