Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 Quick Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 08. 2024
- The Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 is a powerful twin-turbo V6 station wagon with an advanced all wheel drive system and a manual transmission. It has ‘276’ horsepower and a whole lot of 90’s JDM character. But how does it drive? And does the performance match its aggressive looks? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!
Huge thank you to www.eclectiona... for loaning us their Legnum - it’s for sale!

#Mitsubishi #Wagon #JDM
Hello beautiful people, as pointed out in a comment, we said that this car has the special Advanced Yaw Control system because it is a Type S. While it's true that it is a Type S, Active Yaw Control was available on non-Type S as well, just not the Type-V (the very base version). Appreciatcha
*...and I'm James!*
Test a stagea wagon and you’d probably like the Toyota chaser too
Lots of cool ones to look at, the FTO, Evo 9 Wagon, etc being a few.
We love you James
Acura Type S?
Mitsubishi was once awesome
3000GT, lancer, all the 90's eclipses, they had so many great cars.
Same with Nissan.
@@rikkiseddoand Subaru
@@rikkiseddo at one time every car in my driveway was a Nissan... 98 Altima, 95 hardbody truck, and my 89 240SX, all with 5 speeds.
True
The Legnum, GTO, FTO, Eclipse, Diamanté, Lancer Evolution…the 90’s were Mitsubishi’s golden era.
Don't forget the Pajero Evo
@ashaman8567 heck yeah. Mitsubishi used to make fun cars.
...GTFO... I'll see myself out.
and Mirage Cyborg
The FTO is one of my favorite cars of all time just for the SOUND DUDE. Imported one soon after I learned they existed
Should be on Throttle House,8min ain't enough
Absolutely
Yes
MORE
Your mother disagrees.
NOOO I need the prices to stay down so I can import one
"Cool another lambo..."
"HOLY SHIT a LEGNUM!!!"
This is the content we need!
Legnum P.I. reporting for duty 😎
Once upon a time Mitsubishi was an actual car maker
Today they only produce engine for unknown Chinese THINGmakers (they are not considered cars)
@@ScottOrdStagea and Legacy Wagon also reporting for duty.
Odd you say that cuz 2 weeks ago I saw a Huracan drive past me and thought it was cool, a week later on the same street I saw a red Legnum vr-4 and almost lost it.
I love how this wagon looks, this generation of Galant/Legnum had such good style imo
Indeed.
Yes, but I think the earlier model's rear styling looks much cooler than this one.
I’ve owned this car for years…in gran turismo
lol.. I oned a Galant, and was looking to either get a VR4 or swap the motor.
Than never happened
That counts for something, right?
@@angeloah haha absolutely…not 🙃
@@CruiseControl1 damn, so I have never owned a Ferrari, or Porsche? F$&k me! 😝
@@angeloah crap me neither! 🤪
The little plaque inside says "Something in Japanese."
James got PTSD with that one😂
“legnum balls ayoooooo”
GOTTEM
I don't know why but youtube gives me the option to translate this to english:
"legnum balls come onoooo"
GOTTEM
I hate that I was about to post this exact comment haha! 😂
thanks for making a video on an obscure car that won't get many views. we need more stuff like this!
The world needs more sport wagons.
They were really popular in Japan in the late 90s. Of course you have the Legacy GT, but then you also have the Caldina GT-T, Accord SiR, Altezza Gita, Mark II Qualis, Stagea, and of course the Legnum VR-4. Toyota even made a wagon version of the Crown.
@@bksniperguyThe best and most unknown in my opinion is the Fielder Z-Aerotourer. It was the station wagon version of the corolla with the 2zzge (192hp, valve lift and a redline of 8200rpm) and a 6spd manual.
Somehow, they weighed less than the sedan at a meagre 1150kgs.
I’ve never owned another vehicle like it.
@@izzy031096 that also reminds me of the Carib BZ Touring. Super cool 4AGE powered mini wagons
Not if they all have to be Mitsus.
*the world needs more wagons and less tall as fuck suvs and trucks
holy crap....dont even see these around here in Japan anymore
nicely done
Really? Thats kinda sad :/
We do actually have a decent Legnum/Galant scene in Australia, and active forums
Yeah im in some groups no meets from what ik tho but other countries snagging them up cause theu aint thay expensive for a jdm car and imo best looking inside and out @@demonrox1228
As a loooong time VR4 guy, stuff worthy of note for this particular car. The bodykit is mostly aftermarket, probably from a lad in Russia. The headlight eyebrows in particular are things he sells. The mirrors are "ganador" style, likely also from Russia. The driving lights which are usually in the bottom corners of the front bumper have been removed and it looks just hollow back there.
The air intake is a bit naff - that's a hot air sucker and whilst cool looking not the best for good MAD. It has aftermarket intercooler piping including the elbow that goes to the intake (that's good) but it also looks like it still has the stock intercooler (that's not so good). If you own one of these cars, get a "HDI GT2" intercooler. It's an easy install (check my channel for an install video). Big power VR4s should keep the airbox but *wiill* also need a hole cut in the bottom of the airbox and a pipe connected to it from a suitable other cold air source. If not, the insane air flow will suck the bonnet rubber lip into the air intake and starve the engine of air.
This car also looks to have the stock power steering "cooler". It's rubbish - just a loop of pipework - and a hard day at the track will cook your pump. For like $10 you can get a small oil cooler and fit it yourself. Do it as soon as you buy one of these cars.
Stock these will put about 132awkw down on a "Mainline" brand chassis dyno. It's common for the VR4 to show a ~70kw drop between the crank power and the at-the-wheels power. So, they are about 206kw at the crank. Stock engines can be tuned to about 200kw at the wheels in the absolute best case without major work other than exhaust, intercooler, injectors. You can't throw heaps of boost at the bottom end without getting rods and pistons, but I've done it as have others. 300kw at all four wheels is then realistic, especially on E85. You will need one of the available Coil on Plug conversion kits and Denso VK22 spark plugs if you're going anywhere near high power or ethanol. Big power will also require that the 3rd gear is re-welded otherwise you will rip the outer gear ring off the inner one.
The stock ECU can be tuned for flex fuel with a custom ROM, but you are better off with Link or Haltech here if you're in the USA as niobody will know how to tune that custom ROM.
Other good mods to make on these are the Evo front LSD. Any aftermarket Evo IV-VI front diffs will fit in the transfer case, which is identical to the Evo case. The Super AYC differential for the rear is also a drop-in with no electrical or mechanical work, and gives you better torque vectoring.
I have all this stuff on mine. It's a beast.
All that work and they still suck!
Tell me you haven't played the early Gran Turismos without telling me you haven't played the early Gran Turismos. These were one of the most fun cars to buy and mod to death on the PS1 games. It's a 3000GT engine w/ Evo AWD in a freaking wagon! Such a cool car, shame we never got 'em over here.
Not quite the 3000GT engine. It was smaller, but probably closely related.
This is a 6A13TT vs the 3000GT's 6G72TT. 2.5L vs 3L, and a completely different block layout. The Legnum layout was closer to what was used in the Evos, the 3000GT's engine bay is the other way around I believe
@@d34thby1337 Not really. The 6G in the 3000GT and the 6A in the Legnum are from different engine series, very different blocks and layouts.
@@jalisurr ooh. i didn't know Mitsubishi have another 6 cylinder engine..!!!! 🤔 all i know is the 6G ones. and i have a Mitsubishi Magna/Diamante with the 6G74. and it's an amazing engine with crazy torque.
I stand corrected! Looks like it's more related to the FTO engine. Love learning stuff like this.
Wow a Legnum VR-4. I had the previous model E84A Galant VR-4 many years ago - what a great car. Had it for 5 years, added 100hp, took it drag and track racing, and it never let me down.
The 2 liter V6 one? That one is so awesome, actual dream car, basically the last performance car they made before the cost cutting.
This is my favorite Mitsubishi car they ever made
What an AWESOME car!
I love wagons
Same. It was in Gran Turismo back in the day and was a bit of a sleeper.
@@danieljones8706 the old Need For Speed SE had a code you could enter to drive the Volvo 740 wagon, I would always do that so i could drive a wagon.
More than one of the Evos?
Starion was the coolest.
3000gt was the best.
I drove a Galant Vr4 once for about 15 minutes in 2006. It's a before/after moment in my life.
I love that description “a before/after moment”
Before I bought my Stagea I considered the VR4's and I must admit it would have been nice to own one while they were in their prime. Here in the UK the few remaining examples are often quite neglected and in poor condition. I'm sure there are a few careful owners out there but they ain't selling.
@@gazman9468I've tried searching for some here. One was auctioned for a mere £3k in May which is odd for a 1/20 in the UK, top of the spec Mitsubishi Galant but It's essentially the forgotten predecessor to the Lancer Evolution which makes sense. There's ZERO Galants on autotrader and zero on Ebay, I've only found like 1-2 for sale in the UK.
Owned a trigger mauve version of this. VR-4 Twinturbo V6 2.5L 4WD. Loved pushing the AYC and watching the the lights on the dash :D AYC was on all VR-4's. There was a facelift and there was a super VR-4 with a more in the face bodykit. Changing the cambelt on these cost $1500 NZD many many years ago! 300k's to the tank and the 4WD is epic on a twisty road. Owned it for 5 odd years, miss that wagon. Now they're are cheap as chips as they say in NZ. Mine was full leather on 18" bronze wheels... ahh nostaligia. If only I could be on a car show doing reviews like you guys. Love cars so much. Thank you so much for doing this! Now I own a Toyota Blade Master G V6 3.5L.... you should give one of those a review!
I dont care how old i get, or how far tech advances. Late 80s through early 00s Japanese cars will always be special to me. That plastic interior that was the same in every car, the revvy little engines and subsequent noise, the styling, it just encapsulates everything that is right and good about automobilia in general.
Nostalgia can be dangerous.
@@cbotten106how
It hurts to see how amazing Mitsubishi was.
Agreed 💯
Yeah it's sad. I've been a mitsu boy since forever ago and to see how far down hill they went. It's just sad. I think they have like 2 models up here now. Eclipse cross and the mirage. The mirage of which is crap. I have an older one and it's still fun as hell.
Think of it this way. It's better for them to have gone out like they did instead of seeing them become with toyota and honda has
They haven't officially bowed out of the consumer market but they might as well have with their Nissan deal. Like when LG got out of the smartphone race before they had to start designing garbage blocks like everyone else
What a wonderful find. I love Thomas shifting left handed. When I was 17 and learning stick, my friend had a manual bug. We’d go to McDonald’s for shakes. He’d drive one handed and hold his shake with the other. I’d work the shifter with my left hand. When I was 40 I got a manual rental in England. The shifting 20 years later was so natural because of all those trips for shakes. Like riding a bike. You never forget.
Never understood why Americans don’t like estate cars. As an American, I freakin’ love em!
That's cuz we like station wagons.
As an American you should know that we Americans do lots of things that don’t make sense to the rest of the world…like really, as a whole we make lots of questionable decisions here
It's not all Americans, soccer moms and general non-car people prefer SUVs because it makes them feel safe. If I could trade my '03 BMW 540i M-Sport for a wagon equivalent, I would in a heartbeat.
cuz dey ugly
@@NewbombTurk. - I get it. I love wagons too; but that majority of the car buying public has a child’s grasp of physics and doesn’t understand how unsafe and inefficient their stupid trucks and SUVs are. Le sigh….
As a huge old Mitsubishi car fan and someone owned an Evo V, I absolutely love this car. Clicked on the car video immediately when I saw the thumbnail.
This is essentially wagon version of NOT the Lancer evo, but the 3000GT.
Slightly different again. The 6a13tt engine in this doesnt share its block with another platform. I think there were a few rare instances of naturally aspirated variants. It's 2.5L and has a very healthy torque curve compared to alot of other cars of the time :)
Had a Mitsubishi FTO with a Legnum VR4 6A13TT engine, it was a weapon!
Thanks for the throwback.
They go alright hey! Heck, I've not even had mine tuned (used factory ECU), and sometimes I wonder if I need any more power.
4:27 the asterisk on the right side of INVECS was genius! 👏😂
Mitsubishi a once long gone amazing company , my dad owned Galant VR-4 , Pajero , Lancer evo , truly one of the most reliable and amazing cars
They still make the pajero tho
The Pajero is the only thing to ever truly compete with the Land Cruiser
This is why I watch you guys very few other people review this type of car.
Please review a Evo after this!
In the year 2033 (if we make it that far) they'll be able to review the rare Evo 8 wagon.
you guys just made me woohoo like a child, I had a v6 galant which I loved and this is the unicorn galant/legnum
Was pretty stoked to see this video from you lads my father watches your videos and he owned a Legnum vr4 and the previous 7th gen + a couple evos the Legnum of which is loved a lot by our family and friends as it could absolutely embarrass GT-Rs and AMGs with no trouble and I’m currently in the process of tidying it up and restoring it as it was off the road from 2018-2023 and it’s a pretty heavily built example making 450whp on low boost and will be good for over 600 at the wheels it’s one of the fastest vr4s in the world as far as I know
My dad's former work colleague had one of these & often came over at the house in it. I fell in love with it since
I owned one of these for 9 years. Great balance of performance and practicality. The good things: handles like an Evo, no lag from the small turbos, interior is very nice for this generation of car, big enough for friends and family. Bad things: engine potential is limited by the small turbos and no room for bigger turbos, various electrical gremlins, not great on fuel.
I remembered the Legnum VR-4 a lot on Gran Turismo 2 since it can race on dirt tracks against the Escort WRC 1998.
You guys should do a legnum vs stagea vs legacy wagon. Special guest RS2
There's an old jap track comparasin. Leggy is fastest and volvo had best storage
Nah the special guests would be Evo Wagon, Commodore/Falcon Wagon (Aussie cars), Toyota Caldina GT4/Toyota Majesta/Toyota Mark 2 Blitz
A forum post said it has about 320hp stock.
Bought one of these for my import business and this car feels insane. You forget it's a sports car until you step on it.
omg I was just looking at these, they are so freaking awesome! Cool to see you review it. Love to see some less popular gems like this!
Just when I wondered if this channel has done Evo content and here you are! Many thanks! 😃
I still have my Evo VIII as my DD. Showroom condition, drives like new, still fast and fun to drive
The second generation Eclipse was probably one of the best affordable vehicles ever made. 🤷🏻♂️IMO of course…
They made an Evo wagon as well. Luckily you all in Canada can import after 15 years, it's 25 in the US so the Evo wagon is still too "New".
we have a grand total of 1 evo9 wagon in Barbados. and i think maybe 2 or 3 vr4's here...🇧🇧
I just LOVE Extra Throttle House for the simplicity of the tests.
The $10,000 buys on the main channel really gets my attention.
I bought a '08 CLK550 Coupe for under $5,000. 381 h.p. and almost 400 torque. Did the exhaust and it sounds really good.
It would be nice to see a run-off between that, a C55, C32, CLK55, cars you can easily find for under $10k, even a C63 W204, I see a lot for under $20k, a great bang for your buck with great power.
Would be a great video for the older Mercs.
I love my Legnum VR4. Got her in Japan and love the V6 power. Doing MX on the car is tough though, parts is expensive and not a huge aftermarket. So glad they reviewed it.
The aftermarket is starting to take off, and if you haven't already check out ozvr4, active forum thats been around forever
it had quite a big aftermarket scene in the 2000s but most of the companies died and the parts that were made are rare to find now adays.
@gal_ant couple of people online making adjustable suspension and new parts coming. I personally plan on making some but only small scale stuff. Plenty of internal upgrades avaliable, couple of big name tuners here in australia, active forums since 2006ish, its doing alright still.
@@demonrox1228 Vouge was a great parts / bodykit company back in the 2000s for these cars, I have a archive full of legnums and galants which has amounted to close to 3000 images of just legnum and galant photos & history so I pretty much know everything about these cars and the aftermarket parts for them. I own one myself and I know the struggle so it'd be nice if some new parts came around.. especially coilover / suspension parts!
I love Mitsubishi they're my favorite car brand lol. I've owned 8 Mitsubishi, 4 of them being Eclipse (2g, 3g, 4g, 3g in that order). Currently daily drive a 2003 Eclipse GT Spyder, it was my favorite gen so I had to buy another one and this one I'll be keeping. The 6g72 can be a pain in the ass to work on (3g Eclipse, Stealth, 3000gt) but its what I'm used to and actually enjoy doing all the mechanical work on it. Great cars, super reliable as long as you keep on top of timing belt/water pump replacements, and cars that are kind of under the radar, not in every conversation, etc.
“I’m having a fun.”
Haha. Literally couldn’t care less about this weird car but I can’t pass up a Thomas and James video. Please keep em coming!!
My '05 Mazda6 GT manual wagon is, at long last, wearing out. Something like this looks so appealing, because in among new cars, a sporting, manual transmission is a pipe dream, and the only things with the kind of rear seat and hauling room are tall, heavy, souless CUVs
Such a cool car... the styling, even. Much more tasteful than most of what we have nowadays.
I owned one back in 2004. It’s basically the GTO running gear in a Gallant wagon.
It was sold as the Galant VR4 in the UK, and from memory they only came auto there. My mate had one, and the road cops in Northern Ireland used them...
I love these things, they are the perfect family car for a car loving dad
Used to own one, faster than a WRX wagon but not as quick, awesome car.
Just fyi, Legnum was just the name for the Galant wagon, there was no 'Galant' wagon, like alot of other JDM cars the wagon version had a completely different name for some reason.
Also this is a mid 90's car, NOT early 2000's. They built them into the very beginning of 2002, but if I remember right it was released in '96.
Also also also, VR4 is a really special badge for Mitsi fans. It denotes the performance version of the Galant and was first introduced in 1987. This is special because that car was the first to have four wheel drive and MOST IMPORTANTLY, it had the first 4G63T engine. They took that car rallying and it's technical systems were so successful that they migrated them into their new Lancer, giving birth to the Lancer Evolution. That VR4 is often called the Evo 0 and is legendary amongst fans. The later Galants VR4's were true Ralliart cars and carried the current Lancer Evolution systems like AYC, essentially big Evo's.
im just glad this has over 100k views
Very cool that Throttle House added a propeller hat to the car. Some say childlike, I say go for it!
My mum has one of these when I was growing up, although it was the more basic 4 cylinder and auto trim tho. Had a lot of fun memories in that car
Holy crap. I've always wanted one of these. They're everywhere here in Australia. Never thought I'd see one on this channel
Theres a lot of these here in Australia, people have been importing these for over 20 years, basically since they were pretty new. Still see a few on the road today. One lives near me.
I had a Galant VR4 type S. Was alot of fun getting all three AYC lights to light up but burnt about as much oil as fuel.
Beautiful. The same era Subaru Legacy GTB.
Back when Mitsubishi was awesome. I’d love to have one of these wagons
I owned a 1991 Galant VR-4. Number 1044 of 2000 for that year so I have a deep appreciation for this video. I want to admit it wasn’t a great car to drive. My guess is weight vs not enough tire.
So georgeous wagon and slick video..!! Watched twice. Thank you..👍👍
I remember seriously considering one of these when the JDM craze initially started to die down, I looked at these (also called a galant vr4 in the UK I think), a Subaru legacy GTB and a Nissan Stagea, my budget was only about 4k and I bought the Subaru - what a car that was, sequential twin turbos and mighty boost. Ended up dying and I traded it for VW which was shite. This was back when an R32 gtr could be had for about 7-8k.
This is my daily driver. 96 Type-S with the INVECS auto box. Luckily the previous owner had it fully rebuilt and it shifts perfectly but yeah. The amount of road presence the car has and putting power down is insane
had the pleasure of driving & being driven ones over a decade ago, really nice, interior was good for the time, I wish I could have afforded it
Europe here, Performance Wagons are insanely cool. Never heard about a Mitsubishi Wagon, but surely its insane on the Autobahn, blasting over 200kmh (around 124mph) with 4 Bros and Luggage
Legnum is one of my favourite cars ever. It's an amazing car.
My first car was a 70's Mitsubishi Galant which was awesome. I would love to drive this.
Offfttt owned a legnum vr4 and galant vr4 with evo 8 driveline, the shorter ratios made it so rapid for mostly stock! These cars are so underated and probably the best balance between comfort and speed/agility, the AYC diff makes it feel so nimble for a heavier car, one of the few cars that i had to tell my brain to trust the car ripping through sharp corners, it didnt seem possible mind you mind had good coilovers and tyres/handling mods
the automatic from this car was also carried into the Evo 7 GT-A and Evo 9 Wagon GT-A. I had a Galant VR-4 version with the auto. The main issue is the wave ring in the transmission that can break and then go all through the transmission
At one point you could buy one of these in okay working condition for around 6k€. I owned manual Galant VR4 back in 2009 and boy was that thing special. In winter it could beat pretty much any car on the road and in summer it gave at least fair contest to BMW and Porches. It was comfortable too and all for Corolla money! Mitsubishi totally nailed the styling and I think facelift Legnum is the best looking wagon ever made. Out of curiosity I've been occasionally eyeing these and most you can find are in various stages of disrepair with engine and/or transmission problem, AYC and ABS problems etc. Or just disassembled unfinished projects with interior backed in boxes and engine in the trunk.
Low purchase price but high maintenance has really proven fatal for these cars but these are, in my opinion, one of the finest cars ever made.
This, the Legacy sedan and wagon were my heroes 🎉
This is the TH content that made me love this channel. Really like seeing unique (to us anyways) cars like this. Y'all should do a trip to Kapan and just bask in the car culture there for like a week. Go next spring and tie it in with the F1 Japanese GP.
I love these! I'm an FTO owner and just so sad that Mitsubishi are off the radar now. They made fantastic cars in the '90s, there was a reason why they were successful in Motorsport. Their engineers were brilliant
I was waiting to hear Legnum meant Crown.
Lol not in Mitsubishi language
@@MaverickPhantom they have a running joke that every Toyota name means Crown.
I was just going with that.
@petew.1418 oh I know what you mean, but you applied it to a Mitsubish -_- JK... I see your point of view
😂😂😂😂
I had a Mitsubishi eclipse 2 gen and still think is one of the most beautiful cars ever made
This right here is an absolutely beautiful car
Early 2000's japanese sports wagons are awesome, I own one 😄
I had one of these and I miss it so much. I currently drive a B8 supercharged Audi S4....and I would swap it in an instant for a another manual Legnum
i honestly really enjoy your mitsubishi videos. evo 9 vs evo x video coming soon?
Thomas had it right with the boy racer thing. In Australia they tend to be reasonably common in terrible conditions. Often seen in various states of neglect around public housing estates.
Sounds like the HKS BOV. Love that sound!
yeah, disappointed they didn't recognize it
Just got my first Mitsubishi, an Evo X, a couple months ago and I love it
I've been begging for yall to drive the legnum for a year! Finally! I imported my 97 vr4 coty legnum last year to america and it's been a treat. 6a13tt is a bit of a bitch to work on though
I was curious about that. In the 3000 it's a total bitch.
@@pacman18 Because #transverseengine
oh wow, wikipedia says they're only 2.5L, I thought it was the same as the 3000gt by the looks of it, but those are 3.0L and a completely different engine code
@@theheadone really?? I wonder if the reliability is better then.
Different issues, the GTO runs the 6g series engines, these are 6A series. There is a bit more room around the engine for cooling in the engine bay tho.
I currently have 2 of these sitting at my house.
There was also the Subaru Legacy GTB in Japan as kind of Counterpart. Owned both, still got the GTB but i loved them both
I had one of these following me for a while crossing Vancouver Island between Nanaimo and Port Alberni on my way to Tofino in my Yaris a few years ago. At one point it found a spot to pass and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it gradually ease away on the winding highway that it seemed to be meant for. It was black and lowered with some lovely aftermarket wheels that I presume were BBS but I’m not sure
Why don’t we get fun cars in North America?
I had one of these, coolest car I've ever owned.
Gran Turismo vibes right there!
This is what made the Gran Turismo game so good.
I owned an '81 Plymouth Champ Sport. Basically the only Mitsubishi wagon/hatch available back in my teenage years. 4 speed manual with split differential, so kind of was a 5 speed going from 4th in power to economy diff gearing. I guess that means that it had 2 reverse gears too, although I was never skilled enough to challenge anyone to a drag race in reverse. Drove that car on the beach in Galveston before turning legal drinking age. Got it stuck, but the 3 of us in the car could pick up the rear of the car and swing it around, unstucking it. More fun than should have been legal. Come to think if it, there were several things done in in it at the time that actually weren't legal.
Somebody around my neighbourhood (Ottawa) owns a Nissan Stagea. I absolutely love these Japanese estates. This one is cool too. Thanks for the video.
I'm so happy to see the Legnum get some love. Could we perhaps do the 90's Mazda Cosmo as well?
Hello! So the bonnet is aftermarket and infact did not come on the Super VR-4 Models, it was called the "Monster Hood" which is a mashed together with an evo 5 / 6 bonnet and vent. the front bumper, wing / spoiler which is the Dolphin kit, mirrors being "Ganadors" which are very VERY expensive if genuine or even replicas! they go 1000+ on the market (sadly) and the Evolution badge on the back was put on by somebody in japan and infact never came on the car from factory, where the evolution badge on the boot would be where the VR-4 logo is, and If I remember correctly aswell Ralliart didn't make this car at all and that badge also is "aftermarket" the only ralliart models were the ones brought over to the UK imported by Ralliart UK! same for the mitsubishi rear emblem on the rear taillight is also not OEM it is positioned where the "LEGNUM" emblem would be. oh and some information about the interior options, this car u featured is quite basic on the inside compared to the options these came with so here I shall list, this car as an option came with the Evo momo steering wheel which is actually very sought after now adays aswell as the stereo / radio part suround where it's "metallic" grey ish, as a option it came with a carbon kevlar (which is actually not real it is just a wrap from factory) which is quite rare to find which is also expensive to buy but everything with these cars are expensive due to the fact it's hard to find parts for these!! (knowing from owning one currently..) but this legnum on this video is far from stock and is quite heavily modified! and you are correct about saying the shiftknob is aftermarket. before I go, these cars came with an option from factory which was a MASSIVE moonroof which is also rare but most things now on these are just silly rare lol. the moonroof when they popup forsale go for stupid money which is 1000+ or a couple hundred more. and this legnum because a Facelift model came with the best front end known to man! which most people call the "Shark" front end. bye bye!
Hello 👋 from Ireland, lads love the channel. Every video is a blast fun yet informative 😊 I've always loved the Legnum VR4 since I was a kid playing Gran turismo thanks for the memories 😊
Legnum VR4 used to outdo Stagea with RB26DETT in circuit tests.
As a Car business owner & Importer of all things Good from the land of the rising sun in the late 90's early 2000"s these where excellent value in the performance to ££ spent , the Nissan's Stagea equally so
Hi Thomas & James, I really like your series of funky classic car reviews. When I watched that Legnum episode something very beautiful crossed my mind: the Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 1.8 tbi probably the most beautiful station wagon ever made ...and with that engine a beautiful drive as well. Could you try to find one and test it in your show?
Love that it's leaking something at around the 1:30 mark.
Yesssss GALANT I’ve waited so so so long I’ve seen these driving around my country for years , shark mouth galant
As an evo 5 owner, can confirm these are a joy and riot to drive. Even better to modify
I love sports wagons so much this is sooo sick I want to import one
