I'm thinking of buying a 1999 version of this car. Has anyone here ever owned one or know people who have? Any repair problems?

foe · 08-05-2002, 01:11 PM

get vr4

MrBrian · 08-05-2002, 01:18 PM

the sl is slow but at least it looks cool...its really slow though
like slower than a v6 mustang slow...like get beat at the track by a stock ford focus slow :D

vr4 is pricey but its pretty quick. if you buy this model, make sure you get a downpipe on the car and the turbos will bake...literally

if you keep the car pretty much stock, its a solid car. if you go drag racing it plan on breaking your drivetrain

hahmike · 08-05-2002, 01:19 PM

on another note, am i the only one totally confused by the previous post?

Morgan · 08-05-2002, 01:22 PM

MrBrian - Dont you have a WRX? Have you done anything to it?

- I would just wait for the new WRX STI IMpreza or the new Lancer EVO.

Shooter · 08-05-2002, 01:22 PM

I thought about getting a vr4 a few years back and doing some stuff to it, but after reading a message board of its owners I decided against it. Seems they're not very reliable to begin with and it gets worse and worse the more you add to it.

Homegrownvideo · 08-05-2002, 01:23 PM

They are heavy cars.

I would also go with the VR4 (turbo model) if you can afford it. Depends on what you are looking for in a car. As I recall, their turbo model is twin-turbo, and also pushes the V6 up to 300 horses.

Toss in a new prom, set the boost up a few psi, and get a real exhaust system, you could pickup enough horses to run with a new Camaro SS.

foe · 08-05-2002, 01:24 PM

If you can go for a supra I love those cars .... Fast solid and upgradable like no other

Nice Ganja. What do you drive, and what have you done to the engine?

My friend bought a 35th anny Camaro SS. That LS1 is crazy fast. Car is in high 12's stock.

Shoplifter · 08-05-2002, 01:38 PM

That is the gayest rice rocket I have ever seen. It's slightly better than the one my neighbours have.

You can see it here

Homegrownvideo · 08-05-2002, 01:48 PM

That is what the car looks like in stock form actually (the 3000gt VR4)

From what I know on the "rice rocket" terminology, it applies to honda, accura, any grocery getter economy car in stock/mostly stock form, with no performance mods done to it besides a muffler, huge-ass wing, intake, and tons of stickers, and ground effects.

Or anyone who thinks they gain, "50 horsepower" from a muffler.
;)

eru · 08-05-2002, 02:08 PM

The car that I will probably get is the 1998 3000GT SL. That's the fastest they have -- they're asking $22,000 but I can probably haggle down to $18000.

Does anyone have any history with the SL or the base? The VR-4 is a lot different in construction (different engine, transmission, etc.).

I really like this car's design and the asking price is down my alley. Oh yea, that car that hahmike posted was a 1999. Here is a pic of the car I may buy:

not an issue, i'm also a compulsive mind-changer

eru · 08-05-2002, 02:14 PM

I did say 1999 at first -- I called the dealership to get more info and it turns out that the 1999 is the standard -- the 1998 is the SL and the price difference is a few hundred dollars.

The real Dirty D · 08-05-2002, 02:18 PM

Here's my '91 3000GT VR4 Twin Turbo, All Wheel Drive, All Wheel Steering.

I got it a few years back when I first started pushing porn and I can say that I will NEVER get rid of this car.

It is a pain in the ass to work on and to take it to a shop will cost you a fortune but as far as I'm concerned, it's 100% worth it. I have heard horror stories of problems after upgrades with newer models but I've never had any problems. I'm getting ready to put a new set of sneakers on it and it's gonna cost $1,000. That's the worst part of the car being all wheel steering and drive. It eats tires for breakfast.

Oh yeah... the insurance is more than the car payment was.

SPECS:
720 H.P. on the dyno.
2 16G Turbos
Runnin 21lbs of boost.
No catalytic converter with the 2-3" pipes runnin' straight out of the manifold.

I noticed that the earlier models like yours had engine problems -- I see that this is fixed thought in the later models

The insurance would cost me probably around $4000 a year in NJ or even more in HA.

Do you think it is cheaper to get a 98 repaired compared to a 91 since the 98 is newer?

Homegrownvideo · 08-05-2002, 02:24 PM

720 at the wheels?

Jesus man, I would hate to buy gas for the thing. I take it you run 93 octane?

Nice!

eru · 08-05-2002, 02:42 PM

BMW's are fancy but boring in design.

hahmike · 08-05-2002, 02:49 PM

everyone and their brother has a bmw, they're fuckin' standard issue! although the mitsubishi's do a great job of making a non asian guy look like a wannabe asian guy (which has to be the worst thing in the world - no offence to anyone in this thread... bwahahah), i'd rather take one over a bmw... especially as all the indian kids here drive around in daddy's bmw, and the last thing i want is to be considered part of "the desi benchud" gang, whatever the fuck that means.

anyone that genuinely goes for a car simply because it is german, italian, japanese, american, british, without considering the car itself, or alternatives, is a loser.

personally i'd always go for merc because i genuinely love the cars... "daddy" drove a merc. over the years he had rover, nissan, ford, honda, toyota, and always said that toyota was best - funnily enough it was stolen.

merc sl500 is a bit pricey, but nice.

hahmike · 08-05-2002, 02:55 PM

TeraBabes · 08-05-2002, 03:34 PM

I used to own a 1994 3000GT SL. I loved it. It was a good looking ride and pretty damn fast (for the price). It handled great and was a lot of fun to drive. Top speed I took it to was about 125 mph, and it was running great and definitely had some more left under the hood...

And then...

One day, out of the blue, third gear started to slip on me. I took it to three different places to check it out, and they all said the same thing. Turns out the whole transmission needed to be replaced. Rather than pay the $3k bill, I traded it in...

But I did love that car while I had it. If I ever get another one, I'll get a newer VR4.

That is a badass ride. I saw you post that a long time ago. Where's the pic of yours and your buddies ? I think his was orange or something. Post that bad boy.

As for the time.... I gotta admit, I'm no race car driver and can't get the thing under 12. BUT, I do have a good friend who has racing in his blood (Al Blaha : Dunn-Benson Racetrack - for the east coast gear heads). He ran the car at 10.1 - He only took one run and still asks me to take it out there again so he can break 10 with it.

eru · 08-05-2002, 08:14 PM

BTW -- if I do get this car I will not be adding and lame-ass rocket spoiler or stickers. I'm thinking of adding:

gets there pretty damn fast.

MrBrian · 08-06-2002, 12:16 AM

BAHAHAHA...dont lie man

720awhp is about 980hp at the crank...nice stock intercooler piping, manifold and fuel rail in those pics AND fyi awd cars SAVE tires.

as for my wrx...its kinda plain. its my daily driver so its gotta be quiet. my rx7 has hit 106db on the track. fucking eh, right! i only have a turboback and a couple other small goodies. its pushing about 300hp at the crank or around 220 to the ground BUT i have 5k in suspension mods so its a wild one of the twisties. not bad for a daily driven grocery getter. the only problem i have is the weight. on the track scales its 2950 pounds...the evo is suppose to be around 2650...doh!

According to a buddy of mine who used to sell mods for a living before doing the porn thing, its HIGLY unlikely... (he also points out the really small tires...)

but who knows...

here's a pic of a 1994 Supra that actually does over 800hp at the crank, and is street legal

Spend a few $ more and buy a Corvette.. then
no one will laugh at you.

When you look at it, it's still a " Mitsubishi " and nothing
you do will ever compete with a newer stock Vette.

I know..I have one. People want to race me all the time, even
a brand new porcshe was no match.

heh, you just weren't racing the right kind of porshe ;-) unless you have the z06, all porsches except the boxter will put you in the gutter ...

even if you have the z06 the 911 turbo or gt2 will give you a nice look at their license plate ;-)

"daddy" drove a merc. over the years he had rover, nissan, ford, honda, toyota, and always said that toyota was best - funnily enough it was stolen. merc sl500 is a bit pricey, but nice.

TeraBabes Confirmed User Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Under Water Posts: 2,067	I used to own a 1994 3000GT SL. I loved it. It was a good looking ride and pretty damn fast (for the price). It handled great and was a lot of fun to drive. Top speed I took it to was about 125 mph, and it was running great and definitely had some more left under the hood... And then... One day, out of the blue, third gear started to slip on me. I took it to three different places to check it out, and they all said the same thing. Turns out the whole transmission needed to be replaced. Rather than pay the $3k bill, I traded it in... But I did love that car while I had it. If I ever get another one, I'll get a newer VR4. __________________ This place is too big.

I'll get some new ones done soon. The motor was completely rebuilt and a dirty big Turbonetics turbo was bolted on.

The real Dirty D Confirmed User Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Raleigh NC Posts: 240	drunkdollars !! That is a badass ride. I saw you post that a long time ago. Where's the pic of yours and your buddies ? I think his was orange or something. Post that bad boy. As for the time.... I gotta admit, I'm no race car driver and can't get the thing under 12. BUT, I do have a good friend who has racing in his blood (Al Blaha : Dunn-Benson Racetrack - for the east coast gear heads). He ran the car at 10.1 - He only took one run and still asks me to take it out there again so he can break 10 with it. __________________ ZUZANA DESIGNS
