Hi guys, I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Legnum with a damaged VR4 motor for sale.

Name: Stephen

Location: Sydney NSW

Rego: till June 2011

Asking price: $2500 or close offer

Details/Extras:

Midnight purple or Graphite in colour

Driver's seat is a Recaro in good condition

Aftermarket alarm with engine immobiliser and remote locking

Body is in good condition

Paint is mostly in good condition but has sun spots, mostly on the bonnet(shown in photos)

Front plastic bumper has a crack in it(shown in photos)

120,000kms on the clock

VR4 motor is damaged, the car blows some oily smoke out the exhaust while driving it, enough to be a road hazard. My guess is that at least a valve seal is gone and there may be bottom end damage also. A slight tapping can be heard.

Interior is in good condition

All electrics work, moonroof, windows etc

Despite the smoke being blown the car still drives very smoothly, no noticeable loss in power, both turbos still feel fine, 110km on the freeway without any drama.

As you'll see in the photos I'm not trying to hide anything. Basically I want this car gone as I can't afford to buy another motor for it and have it installed as I'm no mechanic. It's a good car just sitting there going to waste. I don't want to part it out as it's too much hassle. This car would suit someone who either has a spare VR4 motor or is a mechanic and can fix it cheaply. Alternatively if you happen to have a Legnum and would like a lot of spares seeing as they're hard to come by, you might also be interested. All mechanicals are in good condition except for the motor :)

I'll take reasonable offers but nothing silly, the Recaro seat alone is worth something so I don't think this is unreasonably priced. PM me on here and I'll get back to you, I will log on daily. If you however PM me with a low ball offer I won't return the message.

Oh and if you buy it for $2500 I'll include a fresh battery for you

Thanks for looking.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
