So a discussion that's 2.5 years old and you felt the need to resurrect it? And people call programmers obsessed *grin*

O.K. I was browsing on google and just happened upon this discussion and I feel the need to interject....sorry. To start dodge contracted with mitsubishi to build the stealth in 1990 but in 1996 they backed out due to the declining market in the performance car arena. today mitsubishi isn't doing that bad considering the U.S. only makes up 25%-30% of their worldwide sales. But to the point, steve, if money is no object in your 3000gt build then you should go here http://www.ipsmotorsports.net/index.php/cPath/2945_961 they have anything you need for the 3000gt platform from stock horsepower all the way up to 2000+ horsepower. Another good place is here http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_index.asp money and skill is the limit.

In the old days, the Stealth was the GT, not the other way around, and the stealth didn't offer everything the 3000 GT did.

Nowadays, I believe the Stealth is very similar to the Eclipse.

If you open the drivers door on a stealth, you will see a sticker that says Manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors LTD

Doesn't Dodge own a percentage of Mitsubishi? 10 or 15 percent or something?

Not sure, but sounds likely, given the facts.
It's really a pity that Mitsu is doing so horribly, I wish the would downsize and just focus on what they are good at, performance.

There are already enough economy sedans and SUV's on the market and Mitsu could probably produce better high performance cars if that was all they were focusing on.

I want a car... gotta work for the money first. I don't want to buy something without a decent down payment because otherwise monthly charges and interest will get too high.

If money is no issue, why didn't you get the VR-4 version? That's a way better tuning platform of the 3000GT.

They didn't have it. I had to either get this or the evolution 8. (the evo was way too expensive but is a bit more powerful).

You want Carbon-Ceramic disks, not the carbon-carbon ones, they don't work very well at low temps!

Thanks phase. Also everyone else for your suggestions; ill let you all know what happens in a while when i get all this.

I'm going to install each part one by one, not all in the same week, might take a month or so to complete; but i want this to be perfect and not rush into it.

Don't know if you have the time, but if you do...step by step photos?

Im going to setup a website pretty soon with the photos of the before and after.

Er, why do you definitely need this?

You can lower unsprung weight without crazy expensive steps. (But why bother when you haven't even listed suspension upgrades?)

Wait, I see you've installed neon lights... maybe this discussion isn't about performance enhancements. My mistake.

I don't "need" it; I just want the most expensive stuff for the car. ;)
