Figured I'd start a bit of a "build" thread on my Legnum VR-4. I imported it myself at the start of 2010 after I had wanted one for ages. Came stock bar HID lights and a 2.5" RSR exhaust, far from that now! Unfortunately got caught in WA's little hail storm earlier in the year during compliance but she lived on and is going strong.

Now, the list of mods...

HID Headlights
Evo 7 style fibreglass bonnet
Ganador Aero Mirrors
Shaded side indicators

Nah, looking good dude! Hurry up and get the damn thing painted already!!

I'm picking up my paint tomorrow. LP2 FTW!

So paint is sitting in my garage, just waiting on Rob to hook me up with a painter

In the mean time it's going in for an Ace heavy duty clutch on Tuesday for the first group of mods which will work towards my turbo upgrade.

I have been talking to a VR-4 owner over on the east coast who has just finished a similar upgrade using the same turbos as what I want to. He has an auto and is pushing out 287 awkw on 18 psi. Perfect for what I want and in manual guise who knows, possibly 300 awkw???

New tyres arrived today! Picked up some 225/45R17 Advan Neova AD08s to go on my Evo 5 rims which will be painted for the track.

Ingalls front and rear camber kits have been ordered aswell so when they arrive I will wind the coilovers as low as they will go and see how good I can get the stance on the Legnum.

Also have a new gear knob coming in from Japan

Its coming along, slowly but surely.
