Congratulations to R/T93 & his
1998 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR4
R/T93's Garage Link

I got the car 2.5 years ago, it was well maintained, I have kept it well maintained whilst putting 25x the mileage on the car the previous owner did in the same amount of time he had it, lol.

Anyways, its my daily driver, I have driven it almost every day since I got it, it has been spectacular. I do lapping days and autocross as often as I can afford. I drove to the NG in June 2012, 2500 miles to Indy from my house, drove to Michigan to meet with family, then drove back home another 2200 miles. In total I put 6040 miles on the car in 3 weeks, 100 deg temps cross country, not a single problem, got 24 mpg at 85 mph. My brother was with me and the car was stuffed to the celing, lol.

Now for the modifications.
I have chosen to keep it relatively mild with the proper upgrades in the right places to suit the way I USE the car.

FIPK, RC 550 injectors, Supra fuel pump, Hardpipes, EVO IX BOV, SAFC 2

Skillard Splitter, MR brake cooling deflectors, Stainless lines, XYZ 14" front brake kit, Carbotech pads, Aluminum Driveshaft, 18x9 AMR wheels, TEIN Flex coil overs, custom front strut tower bar, TEC rear bar. Stock sway bars.

It has a full stereo, nothing special but its loud enough for me.
Alpine 7896 deck, Alpine PDX-5 amp (powers everything), Infinity Kappa perfect 6.5 components in the doors/dash, Mid grade Rockford Fosgate 6x9's, and a JL 10w-3 subwoofer in a custom corner mount fiberglass sealed box.

Its not that fast but I know how to drive it well. I got 2nd place overall at the Autocross at NG with crappy Kumho's and no alignment, but I attribute that to a LOT of autocross practice up here in the NW, I have been racing since 2004 in 3/S's.

I like my car a lot, I hope you do too, so vote for me for OCT ROTM 2012!!
