Would it be worth it?

[Badger_01]

Hmmm found this on Trademe, would it be worth it?

[CANDEE]

No idea, but there is no such thing as a ralliart edition... its just a normal one with a ralliart backbox...

[Badger_01]

Haha the cheeky bugger

[CANDEE]

Also seems to have the ralliart black carbon center console too...

[mattnz]

Those wheels are incredibly hideous.

As for if it's worth it, depends on how much it goes for I guess. For $200 it would :P

[Gly]

**** all, 8g vr4s arnt getting good money,

esp not as a tradein, 2k trade tops traded,

3-4k private if you can find a buyer. for a good one,
but that one has high k's

[Oggie]

Those wheels are incredibly hideous.


Last time i saw them same make of wheels on a car was back in 2003 when nz had the fastest gsr in australasia.. (sp?)

[wintertidenz]

Oh god, my EYES. Those WHEELS. Hideous.

The wheels are worth more than the car (though not by much).

[Badger_01]

Haha yeah, the first thing that made me cringe was those wheels

[low_vr4]

You could sell the wheels for over 1k possibly

[Oggie]

You could sell the wheels for over 1k possibly

only to some crackhead bling bling boy racer of other racial background that thinks bling is king. ( did i cover all boy racers in that comment? )

[SEAN-NZ]

i would think that just about all boy racers would still hate those wheels

[OnBoost!]

Someone has told him there aint no ralliart version,but as usual with people that think they know better,it was ignored.


No such thing as a ralli art edition mate..false advertising ernz3 (324 ) 7:57 am, Tue 6 Mar
Yes it shore is! Feel free to view the vehicle or bring your technician. 10:16 am, Tue 6 Mar


I would bring my technician!!


:laugh:

[Badger_01]

That was Quinton- VR4WGN that stated that I think

[Ryan]

Just noticed this... can't believe that someone would rather have the wheels. And yes, "ernz" is the Quinton we all know and despise.

[Badger_01]

Despise? Whys that?

[SEAN-NZ]

so you wouldnt recommend buying from him then?

[Subaru ETA]

**** no! Just do a search on him and you will see why! Hence the reason he was banned

[Oggie]

so you wouldnt recommend buying from him then?

buy from him at your own risk. his feedback on trademe is all you will need to know about his "sales" etc etc.

[SEAN-NZ]

i had a look through, pretty bad, with that many trades, i would expect a lot less negative feed back, some of them seem pretty bad, would use caution when trading with him, if needed, got some good looking stuff though, disappointing that he appears to be so hard to deal with

[Badger_01]

Ah I see haha, thats interesting lol

[wintertidenz]

He even tried to sell to people on here for more than he was selling on Trademe - I asked him about prices for a couple of things, he gave me a price that was $30-40 higher than what he had them on Trademe for.

[Badger_01]

Thats a bit of an ass of a thing to do

[Badger_01]

http://www.sella.co.nz/motoring/cars/mitsubishi/9nnhjy/ How about this? Whats everyones view on this one?

[low_vr4]

That has been on there since before i started looking for a legnum. Pretty average looking to me

[CANDEE]

Gah MMCS.... lol

[thfelipeth]

wow! its a 2000cc vr4. never heard of those lol

[Ryan]

Manual and lowered... Not sure I'd want that registration though :p

[scott.mohekey]

wow! its a 2000cc vr4. never heard of those lol

The 6th and 7th generation VR4 were both 2 litre (1997cc). The 6th being an inline 4 (the same as the early evos), while the 7th was the smaller sibling of the 6a13 v6, the 6a12.

[Zitchu]

Heh, according to the cert plate on mine, it's an inline 4, despite the fact that there are V6 badges on both sides haha.

[SEAN-NZ]

owned it for 5 years and cant even get the engine size right, gotta wander about some people

[Badger_01]

haha yeah thats pretty bad, like when I first saw it, saw that it was 2000cc, was like wtf, so I checked it on carjam and it says that its 2500cc, well 2490cc, lol silly person

[SEAN-NZ]

seen it a few other times, some people shouldnt own cars haha

[roryfromnz]

Lol speaking of silly people im sure i saw some guy selling a Honda VR4 on trademe.. HAHA when i find the listing ill post it. Cracked me up

[SEAN-NZ]

haha, i saw that same one i think, also some one was gelling a galant vr4 1992 auto, if i recall correctly, pics and description was a legnum vr4 manual

[thfelipeth]

[scott.mohekey]

lol was just a joke im aware of the other ones, but im sure the 8g didnt come with the 6a12. :)

Lol there was actually an 8g with the 6a12. They weren't very common though.

[elnevio]

Although it wasn't a turbo one. But yes, there was one, and yes, it was rare!

[elnevio]

It was also the only 8G to come with MIVEC!

The Galant VR-M, only sold in certain Asian countries like Hong Kong and Singapore.

didnt someone from here try to build a mivec legnum and prety much gave up?

[scott.mohekey]

That would be Quinton. He was full of high hopes for some super car that would out perform an str..

[Subaru ETA]

It would have probably worked however he is just a parts fitter, not a mechanic and when he realized it was more then just a "unbolt the old engine, chuck in the new" job he gave up. From memory he just had to get it to switch cam profile but he couldn't work out how

[scott.mohekey]

Yeah, interestingly, it turns out his legute project is actually being built by someone else!

[thfelipeth]

Lol there was actually an 8g with the 6a12. They weren't very common though. okay im done commenting lmao!!!! thanks for the new information scott :)

[Badger_01]

haha found another one :P

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mitsubishi/legnum/auction-456268801.htm

opinions? :P

[Ryan]

PFL manual with moonroof (cool). De-oranged side indicators. Front bumper is more than a "bit ruff" and is missing at least one foglight and vent assembly (RH side). Tyres seem okay and appear to be the same all round.

I wonder what condition that black leather is in? No mention of when cambelt was last done. I had mine done yesterday and it was $1264 for the belt, tensioner, idler adjuster, water pump etc.

[Badger_01]

:O damn thats expensive

[Subaru ETA]

:O damn thats expensive

Not exactly a 2 minute job!

[Badger_01]

Yeah I know that lol

[roryfromnz]

yup mine was around that too... nasty huh!

[SEAN-NZ]

all of a sudden im glad that the cam belt on my car was done within the last 15,000 ks

[Badger_01]

Theres new pictures up, the leather looks okay but I dont think there are any fog lights (well not that I can see) and the front bumper looks mangled haha

[Badger_01]

emailed the guy and he said that the cambelt is due at 240k kms
