Breaking PFL Legnum VR4

[Atik]

With all the issues on the car, I am going to try and cut my losses and get rid :(
Having only just spent money getting LPG fitted, its not what I want to do, but the combination of issues and general unreliability of this car has severely soured my enthusiasm for it and I really dont want to spend the best part of £1000 to get the car mechanically sound only for something else to go wrong a few weeks later.

So this is a tentative EOI thread, for parts which I am capable of taking off myself with minimal effort.
I cant afford to be out of a vehicle for too long so I am hoping to get confirmed buyers lined up for as many items as possible before I actually go ahead and start taking parts off. The sooner the better.

I believe a lot of what I have are sought after and worth the price listed, but if you want to make an offer, go ahead, but dont be offended if I dont take it serious.
I need to be sure of at least £1500 + worth of sales before it becomes worth me stripping it and being without a car for a week or two while I do it.

The money has to come in around the same time in order to finance any replacement car. Not sure when yet, but the sooner I can get buyers lined up the better.
No pics as yet, but I will try to get some uploaded over the coming few days. If I havent listed anything, ask away and I'll see what I might have or can sort out. And by the way, I'm keeping the LPG system as it will go onto any replacement car I get.

Prices are collected from WS10 postcode (10 miles north of Birmingham at M6 J9). Shipping will be extra at cost and I am willing to provide international shipping again at cost to the buyer.
So here goes:

GAB Coilovers, with adjustable ride height and spring rates (with C spanners) £400
Downpipes brand new last week, 2.25" from the turbos, to 3" joining to the catback, so no space for cat or decat £250
Fujitsubo Super Legalis R 3" catback exhaust £400
Fibreglass vented bonnet, primed and ready for paint £200
Full black leather interior (heated and electric circuits included) with door cards £300
7202 ECU £80 @darren1976, instant, vr4drifta
Momo steering wheel £80
Full set of genuine Mitsubishi wind deflectors for estate £80 @WillVR4
Full set of chrome 'Legnum' door sills and rear bumper strip £125
Evo 8 alloys (no tyres as I'll be retaining them) £100 @xp67
Carbon effect dash set (vents, console, ashtray and gear surround) £80
L30NUM private registration includes cost of transfer and front/rear plates £300 @Ernie902
Greddy FMIC with red silicone fittings £125 @hypocrit3, SLX
GFB Stealth FX hybrid dump valve (adjustable from fully vented to fully recirc or any setting in between) £200
Golpher alloy radiator from Stefan's group buy a few months ago, only fitted two weeks ago comes with blue silicone pipes! £140 @hypocrit3, SLX
Cusco rear strut brace £100
Front strut brace £60
New front bearing £60
Magnecore 8.5mm ingition leads £60 @hypocrit3, SLX
UKDM glass headlights with clear indicators full set £70
Razo manual pedal covers £10
Stock downpipes £offers
Stock cat converter £offers
3" unknown make catback exhaust with extended middle section so so space for cat or decat £160 @exevoowner
Luggage cover for estate £offers
Luggage net x 2 £offers
Airbox @thegoose

And these parts which I cant take off myself, or without specialist help so may be more tricky to arrange sale
Engine (leaking on cam side, and have replacement seals) with all ancillaries £400? or without for less £offers
Manual conversion kit (lever is sticky and doesnt spring to neutral) with Exedy Evo clutch and a spare gear lever mechanism £600?
Transfer box £offers
Rear diff £offers


I also have a load of extra parts which I have accumulated over the years which will be up for sale and will take offers
PFL side skirts in Thurston Grey
'Supered' head lights with inserts sprayed silver
PFL grille in Palma Red
Rear bumper skirt (I believe its a Super one but cannot confirm)
PFL roof rails


And once the car is broken down, the usual array of stock parts and panels where offers will be taken.

Shocked now, Atik I hope that my post in RR day thread about condition of your P&J not insult you as it was a bit of a joke, I feel guilty now. Yes your car have few issues but IMO most of them are fairly easy/cheap to sort out. And all that effort/money just spend to gas it up just not make any sense to me, what sort of replacement you after?

[xp67]

I live close to you. I'd take the wheels for sure and I 've got a list of small parts that I'm still after (trim bits, switches, etc). I'll keep an eye out if you decide to break it (looks like it would be a shame!)

[TAR]

Really sorry to hear this Atik. I do hope that you manage to recover what you want from the car.

:happy:

I know you were joking Adam. Thats not an issue at all.

The car has just not been 'right' since day one. I dont care about the faded paint and body work, but mechanically its been one issue after another for two years. The most trouble free driving I got from it was when it was SORN'd and I was driving a Mondeo!

As I say, if I can secure around £1500 worth of sold parts over the next few weeks (maybe by end of April), I'll probably break it in May. If I cant, I'll re-evaluate and see about getting it repaired.

And Steve, I've been trawling the net today for possible replacements, and I think I'll go for the ugly overweight sister to that one. It has a goofy front, big ugly rear end, but has the same engine! /yes

[thegoose]

Yes I'm shocked too bud but tbh I've also ploughed far too much into mine but I'm hoping after sorting the exhaust and airbox it should it I will be looking for a stock airbox as mine is damaged unles I can repair it and depending on how much u require for yours?

[exevoowner]

What would you take for it as a whole package ?

[crazydriver81]

Noooooooo Atik... don't do that!! :( What needs to be done?

[Atik]

Engine oil leaking - suspected to be cause of smoke. But also possibly dodgy turbos causing smoke on over-run.
Noisy bearing - replacement in hand awaiting fitment
Intermittent suspension knocking - suspected lower curved arm
Juddering brakes - suspected seized caliper
Body panels need tidying
Paintwork faded beyond repair
Problematic ignition barrel

Worth more in parts to me right now as I dont have the patience to get it all sorted.
The car runs well when it does, but the list keeps growing faster than I can fix them!

If anyone wants to make an offer, let me know. I'll entertain anything right now.

[Reconstructor]

Any pics of the rims?

[bakerboy-2007]

Hi pal sorry to hear this;(
What colour is your car?
Cheers

[John TheAntique]

Ah well Atik it is probably for the best in the long run. Once faith has been lost in something (or someone) it takes a lot to build it up again. What ever you decide I hope you stick around here.

[instant]

hi im after a main engine ecu do you have one avaliable

[Atik]

Grigory, I'll try and get some pics of the wheels soon.

Paul, car is Palma Red with Thurston Grey lower sections.

Craig, the ECU is a 7202 which is currently flashed with a manual ROM. If you fit to an auto car I believe it will require re-flashing. But it will be available as per the list in post one above.

[giblet]

Any further info on the coilovers Atik? Tried a google search but can't seem to find any info on them. It seems a shame to break the car considering all the time and effort you have put into it but if you feel its time then I suppose that's the way it is.

[Atik]

No real info on them Gib. They were on the car when I bought it and came without C spanners. I have since bought a set of spanners to be able to adjust them. They look in good order, dirty but working fine with no leaks. I'm going to try to get a load of pics uploaded on the weekend so will try and get some detailed pics of them for you.

[WillVR4]

Hi mate, I'd be interested in the wind deflectors if they came with their clips,

Cheers

WIll

[Atik]

Will, the deflectors on the driver side are off the car, but I cant remember where the clips are. I have a box of bits from when I broke my old car so I suspect they may be in there. The passenger side deflectors are still on the car so can be take off with the clips. Will keep you posted about the missing clips.

Will add you to the list of interested parties.

Cheers mate, If people can advise if theres a way to put them on without the clips I'd be happy enough.

[Atik]

I was planning on using a high tack good quality double sided foam tape to apply it back on. All along the frame to create a clean seal without any missing sections. That way it seals right and leaves to space for any dirt to get trapped.

[xp67]

I've removed my wind deflectors so I have a load of clips if anyone needs a couple?

[instant]

Hi I need a ecu the one under the steering wheel, the code is MD316484

[Erni902]

Interested in the number plate :)

[Atik]

Hi I need a ecu the one under the steering wheel, the code is MD316484
You are on the list for when I start breaking this.


Interested in the number plate :)
On the list also.

[hypocrit3]

I'm interested in the Golpher radiator, ingition leads and the FMIC with fittings :)

[SLX]

I'm interested in the Golpher radiator, ingition leads and the FMIC with fittings :)
I,m interested in absolutely the same bits:-)

[Atik]

1st post updated with those who have shown interest in certain bits and in the order they have shown them in.

I am happy to entertain offers on other parts if people are interested. It's looking increasingly likely I will be in a replacement car by next week, so the sooner I can get parts lined up, the sooner I can get rid of them.

[giblet]

Any pics of the coilovers? By adjustable spring rates do you mean damper settings? I get confused far too easily when it comes to coilovers.

[Atik]

Will confirm later for you Gib. The shocks have two collars which I believe allows ride height adjustment and adjustment of how tight the springs are. There is nothing at the top of the struts in the engine bay so no EDFC compatibility or anything.

[Atik]

No longer an EIO thread. Could a mod please change to FS?

My gearbox shat itself last night, so I think 2nd gear is now dead. I just completed a 250 mile round trip and as I turned into my parent's road, 2nd gear crunched, felt like it slipped out of position as the teeth were grinding on something!

A replacement vehicle is now imminent so as of next week, I should be able to start taking small bits off the car ready for sale. Obviously the larger harder to reach items may take a while so please bear this in mind when requesting parts. I am happy for people to come collect or even come and take bits off the car themselves. Plan is to get all the goodies off the car, keep a handful of stock but wanted items, and then the shell will be sent to the scrappies.

[NateGPX]

Any chance you'd be selling the turbo's and manifolds? (looking to bolt them to my FTO :d ). If so, how much?

Nate

[Atik]

Not sure they would be worth much to be honest. The car is smoking badly on over-run which could be an indication of faulty turbos. I wouldnt want to sell on that basis, but if you still want them, make me an offer. But it also wont be for a few weeks at least until I actually start to strip it.

[desd]

by any chance would you still have the fog light switch the one on the right side of steering wheel below the air vent beside the mirror controls

[Atik]

Des, yes fog light switch is available.

[desd]

How much do you want for it and can you post it to Ireland and at what cost thank you

[Atik]

PM me your post code and I'll get a postage price, and you can have the switch for £2.00. I wouldnt expect the postage to be anymore than £3, but I'll confirm for you later.

[desd]

PM Sent Thanks

[crazydriver81]

Atik, you may laugh now - I am interested in the bare engine, without ancillaries if you want to split and have interest from other peopler for alternator / A/C comp / power steering punmp / turbos + manifolds.

What is your estimation, how quick you will start to strip down the car? A friend of mine has shot his engine so is looking for another engine.

Any other issues with the engine, except suspected seal failure on cambelt side? What is the actual mileage?

[xp67]

Atik, are you now breaking this for sure? If so, can I come over and have a look at the wheels? I live locally and am in no rush to buy them if you need to keep them on the car for now. Send me a PM. Cheers! :)

[Atik]

Stefan, not sure when the engine will be ready to take out. I dont have any real access or space to take it out where I am. Nor do I have the crane to be able to remove it safely. I have a gravel driveway so cant get a wheeled crane on there safely.
There was leaking on the cam side and also a little on the air box side. It runs quiet, and managed to produce 271hp at Eurospec at the meet last month so it could be worth something if you get the seals etc changed.

Tom, I think this will definitely be going for breaking in the next few weeks. I'm just holding off until the Stagea is fully operational. You are welcome to pop round for a look and chat. The wheels are fitted with Goodyear Assymmetric tyres (Nov 13) and have only done around 1500 miles. I was planning on keeping the tyres for use on the next car, but they are 16" stock wheels so wont fit. If you wanted them with the tyres, I am sure we can work out a deal that suits. I actually have three other tyres with almost full tread off the car which I can also include in the deal.

For the rest of the parts, I am all open to offers now. Take your pick at this. Just want to recoup the cash for the Stagea and then I'm going to send the lot off the scrappies.

[Z-Kev]

Atik, can you get off the drivers side front driveshaft and hub carrier?

[xp67]

Sounds good, let me get back to you next week as I'm away this week. I'm guessing they are the wheels here? http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?71150-Breaking-PFL-Legnum-VR4/page2

[JimT]

Atik, well interested in the rear bumper skirt, can you advise its condition and how much.
Cheers Jim

[Atik]

Update:

Car is now partially stripped:
FMIC, rad, leads, front bumper, grille, headlights, air box, top pipework are all now off the car.

I will not have any time, nor do I have the expertise to properly strip the car. I've been offered a price for the rolling shell by a local garage, so if anyone wants to make an offer, I'll be looking at them very closely.
Rolling shell is complete with the following goodies: electric/heated black leather interior, GAB coilovers, Enkei E8 wheels (with 3 budget tyres with full tread and spare), all body panels, engine, manual gearbox and everything for a manual swap.

It still has the LPG kit fitted, which I am planning to get removed soon, but if anyone is interested in it, I will consider offers, seeing as the kit is already specifically cut/built for a Legnum.

I will be PMing people who have expressed interest in anything shortly.

[giblet]

Could you PM a ballpark price for the LPG kit?

[Atik]

Big update:

The rolling shell is now provisionally sold. This includes the wheels, engine, gearbox and suspension, as well as the shell!
The buyer has expressed that anything else is not required, so if anyone wants anything from the car however big or small, let me know, and we can work something out.

Offers considered on almost all parts now.

[darren1976]

How much for air box

[Atik]

How much for air box

Did you want just the front and rear section of the air box? If so £30 + delivery (or free collection)?

I also have the funnel and MAF and a K&N panel filter. Will do the whole lot for £50 + delivery (or free collection).

[John TheAntique]

Hi Atik, do you still have the coil packs if so how much.

[Atik]

Hi Atik, do you still have the coil packs if so how much.

Yep, coils were removed on the weekend, and ready to go.
£30 + delivery for the three of them?

[John TheAntique]

That's a deal. PM me your Paypal or bank when you are ready, I'm not in any hurry.

[John TheAntique]

Done. Thanks Atik.

[Atik]

Update:

The following bits are now off and ready to go. Ideally to be sold as full sets, but may be happy to split depending on demand.

68339

Full set of aluminium door sills and rear bumper sill. Legnum decals.

68342

Full set of genuine Mitsubishi Legnum wind deflectors.

68343
68344

Legnum/Galant estate fit tailgate carbon effect number plate surround
68345

[Colin Wiltshire]

Have you got, the wiper arms and the plug and a bit of loom for the clock?

[mcosworth]

Hi Atik,
How much for the full set of alu door step & bumper sills?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Mac

[Atik]

Have you got, the wiper arms and the plug and a bit of loom for the clock?

I have wiper arms. Recently refurbished in black Hammerite too! £make an offer?
I need to check the clock. I ended up fitting the UTCOM in the space so I may have spliced wiring there. Will check on weekend and confirm.

[Atik]

Hi Atik,
How much for the full set of alu door step & bumper sills?
Thank you.

I paid £100 for the tailgate bit alone, and £150 for the door sill set, but I doubt I'd get that now. How does £100 + delivery sound for the lot?

[SLX]

Any pics of the FMiC?

[adaxo]

I think is right to mention that myself and Davezj will visit Atik on this coming Sunday, so if anyone from our area wants any parts of Atik car we can bring them over to save on post.

Gunzu

I havent been able to arrange P&P just yet but all the parts are ready to be sent out. I've been tied up with some exams this week so havent had much time to put to anything else.

I will be looking to get them ready to go over the weekend, and will keep you updated of developments.

Thank you for being patient.

[Colin Wiltshire]

Do you have the plug bit from the clock?

[Atik]

I will have a check for you Colin. I'm not sure what I did there when I fit the UTCOM in that space.

[Yacuza]

Hi..
Do you have front caliper? only the part where the slider bolts go in? ( incl slider bolts pliz)
Dont need the part that the pistons sit's

And coils if you have :)

Best regards

I have the calipers, but I wouldnt want to sell as they are in need of a refurb. When the car was on the road I had some severe brake judder, which I suspect was due to the sliding pins not 'sliding' causing the brakes to stick.
I will probably not have enough time to sort this either as I am away part of this weekend, and the shell is being collected next week.

You might be able to ask the buyer of the shell if they will be able to arrange this.

Sorry.

[Yacuza]

Ok.
Thanks anyway. Posted a thread on FS/WTB car parts so i hope someone has some they can sell :)

[labelloen]

Hi :-)
Do you have Pictures of the parts,
I could be interested in the Fujitsubo and the bonnet

Hi Morten

The Fujitsubo is sold.
And the bonnet would be VERY expensive to ship to Denmark.

I will be aiming to get pics of everything I have from tomorrow.

[labelloen]

ok, i am looking forward to see pics ;-)

[evo1rs]

Hello mate, do you still have the PFL roof rails?

[Atik]

I DO have a set of PFL roof rails. Yours for a tenner if you can collect? They are obviously quite long which makes P&P a bit awkward.

[evo1rs]

Hmm, collection could be a problem, how do they fix on? Are they retrofitable? Or do they need holes to already be there?

Edit: ok I see how they fit now. If you are interested in posting them I think parcelforce 48 large will take them for about £15. Otherwise no worries, I don't really need them, just a useful add-on for the future :)
Cheers

[Atik]

Can a mod please lock this thread?

The shell is now gone. I have a load of parts which will be up in a separate thread soon so if its not in that thread, I can no longer get it.

Thanks.
