Hey,
Just bought my first Legnum VR-4 yesterday after being a subie man for the last 4 years.
Just two quick questions about the car:

1. What does the TCL button do?
2. What does the AYC mean/do?

TCL button turns off traction control
AYC is active yaw control - helps you stick to the road :D

Someone else can probably explain how it works better than I /yes

My understanding of it is

A yaw movement is when the car rotates around on the horizontal plane through an axis that goes from top to bottom (like a spinning top)

AYC uses an active rear differential to sense possible YAW movements and distribute torque to or from rear wheels in order to minimise this movement.

As a result, the car corners better because the car resists having the back come around on you. Another benefit is that it keeps the line you are taking smoother which also promotes faster and more predictable cornering.

ok cool, thanks for that!
Glad I found this forum!
Only had the beast for a day and am loving it! It's a big call from a Subie guy like me..

if you click here (http://www.clubvr4.com/index.php?page=specifications) and scroll down a wee bit, you'll see some Quick fact links... that should explain all you will even need to know about AYC
