Darren, i really like the evo wagon and legnum's but if its space you're worried about you really can't go past the stag even though for me it was third on the list but you're bigger than me.

You'll have to come to soccer soon and i'll bring the evo.

yeh evo wagon is mint

seen one at mitsubishi on cnr of south road and daws road, i stopped and got out n looked at it n DAMMMMMMMMMM

buy evo wagon

wouldn't be an evo wagon, they're rare as hens teeth, certainly wouldn't be one in a mitsi dealership. Come to think of it i don't think there's one in S.A

Ahhh I love the fact ThatI own the ONLY GT4 N Edition in SA...bought this thing in (cheers iron chef) becaus i didnt want a Legnum (sounds like a vegetable) or a Stagea which everyone has.

Wanted something completely different. 200KW AWD wagaon, Recaro interior VSC ABS & TRD go fast bits...love it.

you need to look at the running cost and repair cost between all three cars aswell as their sizes.

the legnum's engine bay is cramed full of parts and id say being so full of motor that doing anything on it would be a headf**k but they look much better then the other 2 cars and the inside of them is pretty luxery compared to the others as well. ive been in one and their nice to drive in....

the stag's motor would be much easier to work on as is a striaght six and parts would be interchangable from 33/34's and would be easy to source as there every where. the price is normally very fair and fairly updated and roomy interior. there's not a whole lot to fault as a daily family wagon as long as thats all your wanting to use it for....

the evo wagon is tuff. id love to have one and you'd assume that the motor and running gear parts would be interchangable with the other evo's of its age. ive never seen another one in adelaide. its just the price difference between the other 2 cars and this one and like other mitsi turbos the turning curicle would be shit and fuel usage wouldnt be that great put great power delivery for sure. a mates monty carlo vr4 with minor mods made 171 awkw's with shit loads of torque.

in the end try and go for a drive WITH the whole family and see what they all say? my pick would be the stag if it was only between the 3 cars.

if you say so, but explain brand new lancer with evo kit, with a front mount

o and it was a wagon??

unless i was seeing things but it was right infront of me, must have been an illusion

Mate,

If your in SA your more than welcome to test drive a few of my wagons I have Stageas & Legnums both is Manual and Auto. I also have a few M35's landing. You find the cars are priced well as we brought them when the Aussie dollar was high.

I am a big fan of the Mitsubishi Legnum VR4, but at the end of the day its a personal chioce with the car that best suits your needs.

there are a few evo wagons coming into the country now, i think only as of mid this year they got compliance???

If there's an Evo wagon in the country, it's only as a personal import. It's not even eligible under SEVS, and probably never will be. Case closed on that one.

Out of the other two, I'd choose an M35 over a Legnum, and a Legnum over a C34. If you want manual, then Legnum all day every day.

not having a go mate. If its still there i would love to c pics.

If its brand new it can't be an evo 9 wagon as they've ceased production and the evo 10 doesn't come out in a wagon.

I guess someone could've turbo'd the new lancer hatch??? mmmmmmmmmmm.............

leggy isnt that hard to work on.. it looks very crammed from factory, but once you actually take a few intake pipes and the covers off, theres not that much in there.

just did a manual conversion in a mates legnum this weekend, went ahead without any issues.

started yesterday, was driving it today. :cheers:

I'd hardly call around 25-30 Stageas in SA as everyone having one ... unless our popluation dropped to around 25 :laugh:

My advice would be to test drive the cars you're interested in, then think about if you're going to mod the car of choice and how costly or how hard it would be to mod compared to other choices. How easy would spares/parts be to find? :ninja:

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
