Well, as much fun as I've had owning this thing, it's time to get something small and economical. So, I'm selling my Legnum, the details of which are:

Year: 1997

Make: Mitsubishi

Model: Legnum VR4

Colour: Trigger Mauve

Transmission: 5 speed manual (this is shared with the earlier Lancer Evolution models and won't give you any troubles, unlike some of the autos)

Mileage: 73xxx kms

Reg: until April 2011

Price: Around $12K

This is a prefacelift manual and I've owned it since November 2010. The car is a stockie, save for a K&N panel airfilter and rims that the previous owner had installed. The odometer reads 73xxx kms, and according to Meek Automotive, the kms haven't been dialled back much (unlike many other imports). When you see the interior of the car you'll understand that the car really is a low km example, with all plastics and fabrics in near-showroom condition. The only thing to note is the aftermarket radiator, which appears to be a cheapie off ebay. Again, this item was fitted by the previous owner and I'd be happy to help a potential buyer source an OEM radiator or to reduce the selling price to account for the radiator.

The car has rego until April 2011, and I've just put two new tyres on the front. The car has been serviced at Meek Automotive (I've got receipts) and they have replaced the gaskets and lifters and, more recently, all oils have been replaced (engine, gearbox, AYC diff, etc).

My mobile is 0458 802 345.

Cheers,

Ray

Here are some pics (I'll try and take better photos):

Sweet looks good.

Not exactly in the market but would be a nice upgrade to the magna :)

Was looking for one in this colour but only auto's were about.

I will give it some thought.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
