I'll always remember when I first saw a 3000GT. I was riding home with some friends late at night back in 1999 (keep in mind I was 12) "What was that!??!" I was flipping out. Dad says shut up it's just a Mitsubishi. Ever since then I always wanted one. In my mind there isn't another car that compares to the timeless styling. I'll ALWAYS have a 3S.
Finally out of college I started saving so I could just pay cash up front. I wish I could say I shopped around for a while, but I really only looked at a couple of cars and jumped on one..I'm sure I'm not the only one :)
Purchased the car 1/22/2011 completely stock except for rims and intake.
[B]Most Memorable Moments[/B]
- Pushing the car 1/2 a mile home in the dark when ECS screwed with ECU. Got a real appreciation for how heavy these cars are. Just cause a road is flat doesn't mean the car will move like shopping cart! haha
- Passing inspection with a turbo chewing on the compressor wheel nut...Turbo Rebuild Fail!
- Pizza delivery guy freaking out and wanting pics of the car. Sent it to his wife who is obsessed saying he bought it.
- Pulled over only 1 time for license plate light being out lol
- Running 13.2 1/4 mile
- Trapping 106mph
I'm also a huge fan of this community. It's great to have so many people across the world willing to help people they've never met and expect nothing in return. I try and give back by making how to videos.

Suspension
Going to include steering and chasis mods here as well...
Suspension/Steering/Chasis
-Meagan Street Series Coilovers set to hardest dampness and aprox 1.75" drop all around.
-All Wheel Steering Delete
-Adjustable Rear Camber Arms
-Rear Subframe & Diff Bushings Poured 94A Poly
-Power Steering Delete
Rebuilding my rear subframe was one of the largest projects I have taken on due to the fact that some of the parts were not available. For example I had the (2) smaller of the (4) main bushings made. I started by using a caliper to take accurate measurements. Then created drawings and provided a machine shop with a the supplies to create the bushings. The end result was great!
