Found these, they appear to be a little over priced IMO compared to others knocking about, but they do look mint and two have the Recaro interior.

Ralliart VR4 Estate (http://www.gtcarsuk.co.uk/stockgt47)

Legnum VR4 (http://www.gtcarsuk.co.uk/stockgt44)

Legnum VR4 (http://www.gtcarsuk.co.uk/stockgt62)

Does anyone have any info on these cars or this dealership?

Also, they seem to have some rare (well i haven't seen them before) and rather funky cars if anyone fancy's looking at the rest of their site.

There has been quite a discussion about the cars there and the dealership over the past year or so..a search should throw up a few threads but have a look at
THIS (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11804) for starters. A couple of members have bought cars from there recently... a few have been scared off too .. :inquisiti


They do have some interesting cars/pickups. The mitsu eclipse is v nice too!

The only reason why I went to GT is because they were willing to take my car for p/x.

Sorry, should have searched before posting.

Vampirej, nice Leggy but my Scenic owes me a little too much to sell at the minute, otherwise /Hmmm

Nice Civic too, my brother-in-law has just bought one, but he doesn't see the performance gains in using premium fuel so i found it quite slow. /Steeringw

Nah... unless he has the JDM version and run on 99 Ron, but then that doesn't give any obvious gains either...
Source himself a DCSport header (with De-cat), Spoon Catback exhaust, GruppeM induction, Hondata K-Pro ECU and a set of coilovers. That would certainly be knocking on the door of somewhere in the region of 240bhp at the wheel.

I bought the Silver 1999 facelist Legnum, so it seems they only have the silver pre-facelift estate and the facelift saloon with the broken gearbox left.

Car is great so far! :)

/Hmmm obviously not updating their website then.

Vampirej, the car was a demo (0454) with 17 miles on the clock from the local Honda garage, and it's certainly not what i would expect given the reputation they hold for speed. Not wanting to slag off a mate, but he can't drive for toffee and did have trouble crunching the gear changes, although he'd done over 500 miles when I went in it, so i'd expect he was a bit more use to it.
All I could think was that the engine is still tight and he is using c@rap fuel. In comparison, we have mates who have got a GTi-6 (slightly modified) a Clio 182 and a Leon Cupra 180 which all feel much quicker than the Type-R.

He's not bothered though, and i didn't have the heart to tell him. I presume your isn't standard, given the little list you've reeled off there, any Torque steer with the hike in power?

Nah, they don't update their website, the more cars they show, the more people will call and he could recommend other ones available. Sales technique I guess.
If that's the way he drives the CTR, he probably doesn't deserve driving one... haahaa... tell him to drive it like he stole it or peel off the Type R badge and put the Sport badge on it instead. LOL
No torque steer with the CTR, as the steering rack is really well balanced and to be honest, that car needs to be thrashed all the time and the peak torque / power doesn't come in until 6200 rpm, unless you have fitted K-pro, which would lower that to 4500.
I have raced all 3 mentioned, the only one that comes close was the Cupra R, unless the 182 was a club.
I think he's probably not planted his foot all the way to the floor, hence it doesn't feel as quick... or maybe the carpet was stuck under the pedal. LOL

I think he's too bothered about his gangster lean while he's driving.

Or, just not as good a driver as you! :helmet: /haz

I often chickened out when it comes to driving my car hard... I need the car to get to work everyday... LOL
Unless I see those blue and white badge behind me, with failed indicators and mirrors that don't work!!
