sorry guys all edited lol

[miller]

hmmm white or silver roof rails are different!!

John i actually thought this was you!


GLWTS

[chris g]

More pictures on here might help inc interior and wheels

What are 'Playa' tyres and 'Linea' wheels

Black leather interior might suggest a COTY model

And as a PFL it would not have 280bhp unless you have had it modified - it would help if you give details of any modifications that achieved the 280bhp

And IMO stating a price tends to get more interest - without a price or ono you can end up in offer and counter-offer ping pong

Is HKS filter a panel filter?

Looks nice in white and with 'carbon bonnet

[imanuttyjohn]

sorry guys new to web site

white roof rails
will get pics up as soon as i figure out how
playa tyres are bridgestone, these are not available in uk so ive been told
Linea alloys are a brand.. 18" JDM crimsons
HKS Mushroom

[chris g]

Get those pics sorted

Tyres may be an obstacle to sale - are they winter tyres?

Have you still got air box etc to refit so that a std filter or a better panel filter can be used? HKS mushrooms are not favoured on VR-4

What colour is steering wheel and carpets? Red? Any other red bits?

[imanuttyjohn]

no no winter tyres, beleive they are the same as the potenzas
no air box ... but probably source one
no red , its the type S not raliart or super model...8th gen 276hp out the factory in 97 i beleive...

Just seeing what interest i get, sticks to the road a bit to much for my liking ...

great car , wish id got the manual version really ..more fun

nardi torino with the wood . (steering wheel)

[Nutter_John]

It is a pfl and has 260 bhp , well more like 240 bhp by now

[imanuttyjohn]

whats PFL ?

[imanuttyjohn]

is it pre face lift

[Nutter_John]

Yep PFL= Pre face lift ( cars before Sept 1998)

[imanuttyjohn]

and COTY ??

[Nutter_John]

Car of the year

[imanuttyjohn]

good selling point lol

[chris g]

As you may be aware COTY would have badge at rear indicating this and spec would reflect this...

[bradc]

Yep, Bridgestone Playa tyres are just a normal type of tyre available in Japan.

With the pod filter it will be around 250hp or so.

[nuster100]

Has cambelt been done ??


Any service history?


Jay

[imanuttyjohn]

cambelt was done last year in japan i beleive, some history obviously japanese tho...can do cambelt for the right money if you require before sale ..some times its just done Peace of mind you know ...as im obviously not 100% ....

regards

[imanuttyjohn]

Open to sensible offers on car, must go need room for new project !!!!!!

[crazydriver81]

I have seen the car before. It was imported by 200bhp cars or so last year... Has been taken a while since it was sold and has been on ebay several times IIRC.

It's a bit pricey IMO, although it might be a COTY. Good luck with the sale mate and a free bump for you.

[chris g]

Has it got COTY badge or other spec that confirm it as COTY model?

[HPRULZ]

doesn't look very undersealed in the photo of the teins?

Kev

[imanuttyjohn]

no COTY badge , was resprayed not long before coming to uk ....friend of a friend has had a look and said it was COTY...and put it in add ..as would probably sell better

pics of tein are old pics from november last year ...car was undersealed in dec when imported....will be getting new pics up this week once its had a clean ....

[imanuttyjohn]

was imported into uk via andy @200bhp cars yes....

[imanuttyjohn]

oh and any info from anyone would be appreciated, reasonable selling prices, stuff i can put in my add ..ect ect

thanks guys i can see the majority of you know these cars well, it was kinda an implulse buy when i bought it , just really fancy a rebuild project my self now as i have another car and a quad i use daily..

[imanuttyjohn]

if any one knows the full spec of a coty also

[chris g]

bradc may be along shortly...

Or maybe a COTY owner or two...

[Atik]

Brad will probably be along shortly telling me off for advising with incorrect details, but I believe the COTY is just a regular PFL with a pearlescent white paint, polished PFL wheels and the very very nice black leather interior. It also had a small badge on the rear pillar by the rear lights to indicate the COTY status.

Whilst it is a very rare model, it sadly isnt reflected in the market prices for these cars. The car at the end of the day is another PFL Legnum and is worth the same as any other similar condition Legnum.

Good luck with the sale though as it looks to be a nice car :)

[imanuttyjohn]

thanks....mine has had wheels changed..and no badges ..but it does have the plush interior..looks like there was a badge on the rear pillar tho at some stage as there is a small outline mark

[PaddyB]

Model code will show what variant it is - IIRC "LYGF 1" on the chassis plate means COTY.

[imanuttyjohn]

lovely...just checked chassis plate in engine bay and yes it has "LYGF 1"

[chris g]

And there we are a COTY...

Unfortunately no original badge or wheels which are liked by some...

[elnevio]

Still a COTY though, badge or no badge. The leather is the biggest difference anyway.

The COTY spec is basically a cold spec PFL auto Legnum - so beefier alternator, heated front screen under the wipers, bigger battery, undertray, rudimentary undersealing (as opposed to none!), and the bonus items are the black leather interior and COTY badging.

As said though, Brad will be along soon enough to fill in the fine cracks with his lumbering cement truck! :D

[imanuttyjohn]

top...thanks guys.....

new pics hopefully wed or thurs....once i have cleaned it

No lumbering cement truck yet so I'll get me trowel out

COTYs all have TCL/AYC/ASC & an auto box. They also have gorgeous wheels, black leather interior, wooden console & wooden Nardi wheel & come in Pearlescent White (AKA Galaxy White [W95] & were the only PFL in that colour).
They never appeared in manual guise or with a sunroof (boo). AFAIK they all have rails too.

I bought it cos of the leather - I love it cos when it's clean the pearly colour & diamond cut wheels look the nads.



Oh.... & mine's a warm spec.

[bradc]

First Special Edition – COTY model – beginning to middle of 1997
The entire 8th Generation Galant and Legnum range won the Japanese Car Of The Year award for 1996-1997. Mitsubishi created a special edition to celebrate this victory. The COTY model was only available in Legnum form, and with only one specification. All were VR-4 Type S’s with the intent of showing off all of the technology available in the range, coming standard with AYC, ASC and TCL. The only interior option was black leather with matching door trims. They were the only VR-4’s ever to come with black leather interior, other models were only available with tan leather. The steering wheel was the standard wood and leather combination that came on the tan leather cars. The exterior colour scheme was limited to Pearl White, paint code W75. Few prefacelift VR-4’s were optioned with this colour code, most came with solid white. The Pearl colour became the standard white on facelift VR-4’s. The other exterior features unique to the COTY models were two badges on the D pillars with COTY writing on them, and the stock 5 spoke wheels came in a polished finish with dark edging. None were available with the moonroof optional on other VR-4’s, or the MMCS system. These were still tuned to 191kw, 343nm.

[Wobble]

mine is not a cold spec either .sorry about the hijack but my wheels need a refurb can the coty wheels be done to bring them up to there original greatness brad?

[elnevio]

I forgot to add an 'I think' to my previous post. Maybe they were all warm spec then? Or maybe a mix of the two after all.

[bradc]

I've never seen a cold spec one. My one was warm spec. Not to say they don't exist though!

[imanuttyjohn]

[bradc]

Note it is a pfl auto and has 260hp.

[imanuttyjohn]

The 8g VR4 was released in 1996 and had 260 bhp for the Auto and 280bhp for manual this era is called a pre-facelift , during mid 1998 the model was uplifted to the facelift model which had 280bhp on both models



JUST TO AVOID CONFUSION AS THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE AROUND THAT DONT UNDERSTAND, WHEN EVER YOU ADD DETAILS ON EBAY ECT THEY AUTOMATICALLY COME UP WITH THE 280BHP......THE AUTOS WERE 260BHP ON A PFL...BUT 280BHP AFTER

[imanuttyjohn]
