Greetings everyone

[Delzx7r]

Just joined after having been recommended to this area by a good friend of mine!
My name is Del and I'm picking up my Legnum VR-4 on Saturday morning from Car Planet in Warrington! I`ve always liked Legnums so I`m looking forward to getting to know their ins and outs through the guys and girls on here! :3d:

Just bought one, so newbie as well, but..

Welcome to the forum !

[Delzx7r]

Thanks Martin...I had an Evo up to last year but couldn't really afford the 4mpg I was getting so I had a break for twelve months with a Mitsi Grandis Super Exceed which is very nice but won't go round corners!...

Welcome Del! Hope you enjoy the car and find our little site useful!

Er....Yep..I think so!...Really looking forward to getting the Legnum...Car Planet are really good...They're replacing the front discs ( The dreaded shudder was present ) and also fitting a turbo-timer...I made the mistake of not having one on the Evo and I think the turbo was developing a problem!

Unfortunate news...Bit of a delay while a couple of oil leaks are sorted out so I won't be picking the car up on Saturday after all!...Still better these things are found now than in a few months time eh?

/Welcome2!

They sound like good people at Car Planet.

And you're one of the few people coming to a VR-4 from something doing less MPG! (ignoring the Grandis of course...)

Hope the additional wait won't be too painful!

[Delzx7r]

Thanks for the welcome!.....I`d recommend car planet to anyone! They are very helpful and Albert Yeung ( The guy who runs the business ) refuses to let a car go without making sure it is working perfectly!...The Evos they have in there are all immaculate!..I've never seen a duff one yet and their service is second to none!

/Welcome2 Hope everything goes ok with the car.

Are you in the Lancashire area,if so, are you going to the meet at Wigan on the 17th August

/Welcome2 to the club, What ninja do you ride? /Welcome

[Delzx7r]

Sorry for the late replies......I'm based in Merseyside but spend 90% of my time in North Wales...
I have a factory spec. 7RR but I can't ride it anymore because we were in a V. Bad accident last year in which my son-in-law ( riding a 7R ) was knocked off by a lorry on our way to Betws and suffered major brain damage so it took the wind out of my sails so to speak!
Anyway..I doubt I`ll get to many meets because I work weird hours and never seem to get a weekend off!

Got the VR-4 last Friday and I MUST say I'm impressed!...I seem to be getting about the same MPG that I got in the Grandis but feel a lot more confident on twisty roads than I did in the "Bus" as it was known!

The Legnum is a very good ride really for a car with such performance! The ride isn't as harsh as my Evo was but it's certainly a lot less wallowy than the Grandis!

I've started work on cleaning the engine-bay up ( it was dusty ) and it's looking a lot better than it did when I got it!...I need to get a replacement engine cover or repair the one that's fitted 'cause it's in a bit of a state...but that's no major deal!...
The body looks to be in excellent condition but my wife hates the colour ( Trigger Mauve )...I quite like it...especially at night when the street lights are on it!...All in all a good buy I think and I`m looking forward to owning it for a good while!

Welcome to the forums Del. Glad you're enjoying the car.

[Nick Mann]

All engine covers have cracks in them. It's not natural to see a VR4 with an intact engine cover!

Glad you are enjoying the car. Hope it stays that way! :D

[Bazlightyear]

So now I know what it looks like.

Just to warn everyone on the forum with a guitar, DONT LET Del ANYWHERE NEAR IT. He WILL set fire to it whilst playing anything from Jimi Hendrix. :guitarist

See ya soon bugger lugs,

[Delzx7r]

Yeah........Must try to avoid that " Cross Town Taffic " eh?....CYA soon Baz...When I've got the car sorted to my liking!.....I'll call you next time I'm off!

P.S..... Been more into Zep and Garry Moore for a few years now!....Still do Voodoo Chile tho!
