Dont know about two months but it took me two years before I got a decent selection of photos - and I am not finished yet.

It was debadged completely when I bought it, which I liked at the time see here:

Then I saw a lot of Legnums around that were not VR4s but they looked like it, with the alloys and body kit and all - so I decided to just put the VR4 badges back on and not bother with the V6 Mitsi ones etc, as you can see here:

And lastly one to show the size of the tailpipe (some guy stopped me at the Garage the other day and said he could have used that cannon in the war :laugh: )

Loox sweet there... nice pix... The blue or purple against the green...

This colour always gets me... in some photos and in some light it definitely
looks blue... but other times I swear its purple.... :headsc:

Mine i sthe same colour as yours.. The person I bought the car from described mine as atlantic blue? Which sounds odd.. (Thought it was meister blue)

Thats a helluva tail pipe! What was the standard tail pipe like? Oval?

Thanks Pezza. Its definately blue, but I know what you mean. :)

Yep the original tailpipe was oval - my current one really does do the engine sound justice :cool1:

One thing I dont miss about running a Jap import in the UK is the rear fog light regulation. Over here its not a requirement :thumb1:

Dirt you say? (know what you mean) but you should try the very dusty unsealed roads here in NZ. Once when I went to watch the WRC rounds it came back looking like it had been through a cement powder storm - plus my hair kinda went white too - such is the joy of being near WRC stars at work in their offices :laugh:

Thanks - yep from Sussex originally. Been here 2.5 years now. REgulations here dont dictate that you have to have a tackon fog light fitted - thanks goodness. Although saying that on my GT4 in the UK they converted two of the brake lights to fog lights which looked much neater.

cheers :)
