Nice clean engine bay. Some ugly chap looking at it though ;)

[bradc]

Uhh oh, are you Kieran's brother?

Nice looking car btw, mine is the same colour as yours and is a facelift too. I can see a silver Legnum in one of those pictures, is that a VR-4 too?

[Robotnik123]

Cool Leggie. Do you have AYC? I think some Type-V's have AYC and some don't?

[Kalle]

No AYC
The silver legnum is a standard V6, I hitched a ride to the docks.. :)

[WildCards]

Looking good mate.

They are deffo aftermarket.

[caishanvr4]

ONE word of advice kalle :scholar:

You need to swop your front seats with mine, they are the same colour- just hasn,t got that extra support and the flashy name /Devil5

[Kalle]

A few more pictures:

[bradc]

nice looking rotors, are you going to use the stock calipers, or do you have evo brembo's in mind?

[Rossco Type-S]

Cool Leggie. Do you have AYC? I think some Type-V's have AYC and some don't?

Do any type-Vs have AYC? This argument has been had several times, but no conclusion has been reached.

Back to the thread: Nice ride

[Kalle]

Those are the stock rotors from a EVO6 which I have modified a little :D
The Brembo Calipers are waiting at home.. :evilgrin:
Just have to get my new wheels back from my friend who is mounting and balancing the tires

Actually I'm pretty happy with not having the AYC, after reading here about all the problems it causes.. :(

[rohit]

only testing

[amsoil]

Hmm, does anyone recognize these brakelines? Don't they seem a little small??
[/url]

Not sure what you mean by a little small; pipes are -3 with steel plated ends swaged on so not reuseable. They are mighty fine so long as they don't go tight at any point in the suspension / steering movement. :2thumbsup

[Kalle]

not reusuable? :( Do you mean I have to buy new braklines when I change my calipers to the Brembos? or is it just the ends that have to be replaced?

Does anyone have pictures of the brembo calipers from the same angle as on this:
http://www.soederman.se/Leggie/Brakelines01.JPG

[MR202]

Hot and Nice:2thumbsup

Sorry I'm used to taking ends off and the swaged ends cannot be taken off and reused. Of course if the thread is correct they can be used as a complete item on something else.

[Kalle]

A few things are happening to my Leggie.

Just received the brakelines for the Brembos! Part number: KMIT0010BREMBO if anyone is interested in getting a pair from exact engineering. They should do the trick for the Brembo calipers front and rear
About to do a little experimenting with the meters too..

[Kalle]

Some new pictures!
What do you think?

[Nick Mann]

Used 'em yet? I still say that is the best way of upgrading the VR4!!

[Kalle]

Not used 'em yet.. will on thursday :D

[MPBVr4]

Looking good :2thumbsup
Brembo's are great up grade.
Are you going to new pads in, to run with your new rotors ?

[Kalle]

Practically new pads in front! EBC red stuff

[jesterjack]

is that a vr4 legnum too? why is different from the back?any idea?

[Kalle]

That looks like a pre facelift Legnum VR-4! (with a facelift spoiler on top)

[jesterjack]

but some other member said it's not a prefacelift or something which i dont understand. would you mind to explain it to me?

how many vr4 legnum actually? and why it's different at the back? is it a cheaper version or something else?

many thanks!

[Nutter_John]

JesterJack - message to you

search and ye shall find the answers to the mistery's of VR4 info .

Pre and Post faclift are still both VR4's just there production is at different times

Pre was up 97 and Post is after 97 - if you search the forum you will find a lit of differences

There has alos been lots and lots of discussion about the VR4 you have pictured and is advertised on Ebay , most people on here would not touch it with a barge pole unless it was being broken for parts

Cheers John

PS this is done in Jest

[Kalle]

Can some moderator please delete all post from JesterJack's first post in this thread!?
(it has nothing to do with my thread)
