1994 Mitsubishi VR-4

I bought this car as a passion project. I had a best friend when I was growing up that had a 1994 VR-4. He made it fast but kept the look as stock as possible and was known as "vr4slpr".

I purchased a bone stock VR-4 from a stuntman in California in mid-2016. The car arrived with about 26,000 miles on it and in need of a new clutch, but in excellent overall shape otherwise.

Wanting the best, I sent the car to 3sx, a shop that specializes in this particular car, located in Concord, North Carolina. I told 3sx that I wanted a VR-4 that would remain as close to stock looking as possible, while upgrading the power and MOST IMPORTANTLY - building the engine in a way that would ensure no consistent problems and reduce all possibilities of having this car become a garage queen.

Needless to say, this car is reliable and very fun to drive. The turbo spool is a sound I love to hear and the car handles very well on the road.

My reason for selling is that I am not driving the VR-4 nearly as much as I had envisioned when I committed to the project and am now ready to let someone else enjoy the fruits of my labor. The wife wants garage space and I do not see myself driving this car more than once or twice a month.

I paid $19,000 for this car. I then paid 3sx approximately $25,000 to build the car. I will gladly share the invoice of the work that was performed with serious buyers and am happy to take videos or furnish any additional information requested. This car is in immaculate condition with the exception of 1 of the rims that is slightly bent. It has not impacted drivability and I haven't purchased a new wheel yet. Otherwise, no problems - the interior leather is in great shape, the outside is in great shape, etc.

I had every expectation that I was going to lose my shirt on this project but I enjoyed it thoroughly and hope that I can make someone happy with this automobile moving forward.

Please feel free to ask any questions that come to mind.

Hi FLSupraGuy,

I do not but I have reached out to 3sx to see if they have copies of the dyno tuning. I'll be in touch when I hear back with an update.

Thank you for your interest.

Reduced price due to lack of interest in the car. I'm assuming it's due to price but I'm not really sure because nobody has given feedback. May end up posting on eBay at end of month.

Last price drop to $25k. I have more than $25k of work into the car.

Please let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested. This is a gem of a car and I'd love to see it go to a good home.

These are great driving cars and I always liked them. I am assuming that this is the wrong forum for posting this as these have become a niche following type of cars. GLWS.

As great a car as it is, selling a >20 year old Mitsubishi requires patience, luck and... very low price. Good luck with the sale.

Also these cars are worth much more and much easier to sell when the are left stock. Great looking car, I hope you found it a good home.

The car is still sitting in my garage. It enjoys the cold weather we’re having in FL. Wish I could find a good Home for it
