Wanna count some mods???

[sladde]

I am Finnish bloke who joined club this week.

My Legnum is to be shipped in next month.
Here is some pics and you could try to count mods of this one.

Oh wow! Grade 4.5. Good choice - Interesting that it's a 4.5 even though the driver's door has been replaced - Must be an almost invisible repair!

Right then - The mods I see:

ARC induction box
Grounding Kit
Cusco hard pipe kit
Pros Engineering throttle body pipe
Ralliart Oil and Radiator caps
Grooved brake discs
Clear side indicators
Defi Turbo boost gauge
Electronic Toll/Traffic control system (Useless outside Japan!)
Stainless steel pedals
HKS EVC-IV boost controller
Sony in-car sat nav
Titanium finish centre console panels (standard is carbon fibre)
Boot liner
Some type of after-market suspension.... Possibly coilvers but not sure what type.
After-market intercooler (I think I can see one, and there's an OEM spare with the car).
Upgraded front anti-roll bar (Again, looks like the original is included).

It also looks like there might be HID bulbs on the car too - There's certainly power lines and what looks like a ballast at the side of the battery.

You missed
rear brace.
Momo steering wheel and OEM spare
Ralliart back box
also there is no pic of it but the hand brake and gear nob have been changed either that or they have taken the OEM ones off and taken photos of them.

This one I was no shure but thought something that way
[/I]
Electronic Toll/Traffic control system (Useless outside Japan!)
Is this the card slot over defi controlbox?

Stainless steel pedals
These I didn't even notice

It also looks like there might be HID bulbs on the car too - There's certainly power lines and what looks like a ballast at the side of the battery.
I thought there might be but didn't notice that ballast

Just have to wait when I can check all missed mods in real.

It's a 1998 isn't it? Do you have something like the rolling 10 yr rule that they have in the UK which prevents them bringing in cars younger than 10 years old?

[Robotnik123]

My mistake I see it is a 2000 car. I thought it was an 1998 because on the rear hatch the 'LEGNUM' lettering appears to be on a stickers rather than embossed on the plastic. I thought the sticker treatment stopped after 1998. Could be wrong though...

I have already bought brembos for leggie and list has been made
what to check when car comes.

To do list if not there
AFC
Fuelpump upgrade
adjustable FPR
Oilcatch can
Exhaust to be checked if needs to go bigger

Radiator pipe to silicon or hardpipe

Two sets of wheels which clear brembos

Atleast in my dreams this list will shorten this year.

You lucky swine! I can't believe it is a grade 4.5 AND has a shedload of decent mods already. I don't know how much it's costing you, but adding it all up, I bet you've got yourself a bargain.

Plus you know it has been in use very recently, rather than standing on a Japanese dock somewhere, as it still had the Japanese registration plates on.

Well done! I'm looking forward to the end results and all the pictures you'll be taking!

[sladde]

I could just say that my max bid was set to Y550000 and it newer get that point.
Okay it was Y510000!!!

[elnevio]

That is seriously good value. I hope the wait is not too long for you!

Oh, and to CVR4!

[Kieran]

£2.5K for that!!!

[elnevio]

£2.5K for that!!!

I know - bargain of the century!

I reckon it's possible that the auction grade is 4.5 only because the driver's door has been replaced (extremely well, apparently) and it is moderately modified. Otherwise, that might have even been a grade 5!

Looks like you've got yourself an absolute belter there Sladde!

[sladde]

My first bid was 400000 for this and when I got translation of the auctionsheet I thought that I must go where my budjet is and make the raise for 550000 yens.

I had bid for few moderate pre-facelifts and same week one 98 Super VR-4 which I missed for 15000 yens and that pissed me off somehow.

When I got this that Super VR-4 doesn't piss me off a bit.

[rees]

what auction site did you go to ? i gotta get me some of this £2500 action !

[sladde]

auto.co.jp aka Auto Square Co Ltd

And I can tell that they take you serious and after I made first contact it was several our later when I got phone call from japan verifying that it was me.

When I get the car I can say more but this far just AAA++++ service.

[Nick Mann]

The suspension is Tein, and it has the adustment for the shock strength, so I would guess Super Wagon or GT Wagon.

The rear speakers have also been uprated. Not sure I spotted anything else, though.

[sladde]

I was hoping those were Teins and when you noted they are I went to rhdjapan page and looked all pictures of Tein Coilovers and They sure is Tein but hoping would be Supers.

I was earlier looking that there is leaving massive amount of red huge wires from battery and thought mayby there is amps in boot but after I realised that you guys talk some grounding kit that must be minus post where those leave.

What makes need of that amount of grounding?

Should I add to do list TEIN EDFC Controller Kit and TEIN EDFC Motor Kit?

[Nick Mann]

Check which Teins you have before buying EDFC, some aren't compatable. It's a fun gadget, but to be honest I don't use mine much.

Yeah it looks like a substantial grounding kit, but there are extra wires that aren't for grounding - eg the power cable from the positive terminal of the battery, and the in-line fuse by the power steering reservoir are not normal items. The power cable could be for anything I guess. The in-line fuse could well be for whatever headlight modification it has.

[sladde]

I think wont buy anything else before car is here.

But if there aint wideband what would be ideal setup?

I am probaply going to get Apexi S-AFC II or that NEO thingy.
If my tunershop wont give me pointers any other direction.

I think it will be dyno tuned.
