    Another Kiwi VR4

    Hi Everyone

    My name is Nimma, I'm from Auckland, NZ

    I have a '97 White Legnum VR4 w manual transmission, leather interior, sunroof, racks.

    Mods are:
    5-zigen Imperio M05 17x7 wheels
    Sustec Wagon dampners and springs
    clear side markers
    Custom front pipe INSERT INTO post VALUES (cat bypass)

    The front pipe has made for an odd looking boost curve and makes 177kW at four wheels at the torque performance dyno. Haven't taken it down the 1/4 yet.

    They are great cars and a hell of a lot more comfy than my old drift sileighty.

    Very clean mate!

    Are the alloys in the above picture the latest look?

    Thanks guys.

    The white 5-zigen wheels are the latest. The ones in the pic above are the old standard BBS wheels. The car now has clear indicators as well.

    There are aftermarket springs in the car but as usually the case is with new wheels, I want it lower! I'm just going to see if I can get some decent lower springs in the local market.

    See you round!

    By the way where did you buy your car? And did you sell your BBS mags?

    I bought the car at Buy Right in Manakau.

    I still have the BBS wheels but am looking to sell if you know anyone that might be interested?

    Thanks for the comments guys

    Welcome aboard. The wagon looks mint, especially with those wheels. Where in Aucks are you from? I'll keep a look out for you on the roads.

    I'm on the Shore too... Birkenhead. As you can probably see from the pic I have the plate [SARU]. Pescha, I have e-mailed you with regards to the wheels.

    Gold/Bronze wheels ala volk were my first choice but white has turned out ok
