Mitsubishi Super VR4
Mitsubishi Super VR4
It is a 1998 Super Legnum VR4.
Like a standard VR4, i has the twin turbos, AYC and full time 4WD, so yes it will be a thursty gal!
it is a far cry from my V6 Galant, but hey, time change and we all need to move on, though i think im now suffering "shell shock" from what i have just gone and done!
anyway, back to the car.
The final VR-4 was introduced in 1996. The engine capacity was enlarged substantially to 2.5 L, which pushed the power up by 15 percent to the Japanese voluntary limit of 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp). The car was now capable of over 150 mph (240 km/h) when derestricted, and could accelerate from 0-60 in about six seconds.
The Type-V model could be specified with either the existing 5-speed manual or the optional INVECS-II, which was now an advanced self-learning 5-speed semi-auto based on Porsche's Tiptronic transmission, while the Type-S model offered the optional Active Yaw Control (AYC). This complex rear diff was first seen on the Lancer Evo IV, and used an array of sensors to detect and quell oversteer, giving the ultimate VR-4 great agility for a vehicle of its size and weight. A Super VR-4 variant was sold on both the Galant sedan and the Legnum wagon, with only cosmetic changes such as Recaro front seats and Momo steering wheel.
With the eighth generation of the Galant, Mitsubishi introduced a station wagon (known in many markets as the Legnum) to replace the old 5-door hatchback, and the VR-4 was now available in both body styles.

in layman's terms it puts out just under 300BHP and goes like stink!
Also being as this is the SUPER VR4 means that only about 250 was ever made, and 28 of them were red.
i have 1 of the 28 in red and it is believed to be the ONLY red super vr4 in the UK!
There is alot of work that now lays ahead of me when it come to this car,
i need to find a set of RECARO racing seats for starters, considering either the popper SUPER side skirts or just going with the FL ones i had on my galant, sorting the alloys out and going for a set of 18", lowering and then re installing and wiring my car PC and ICE, the of course come the fitting of the rear lip, re designing the powerflow exhaust system so it becomes a twin exit, CF wrapping the bonnet and a few other parts, fitting the EVO style bonnet, fitting my twin projector headlights, full service, tax and mot, then sending it away to be professionally valeted.
Im sure there is more i can add to this list, but im ****** tired, so i will now leave you with some pics!

I had the vr4 before. Hope your pockets are deep lol.
I also bought 2 cars from that garage.
I bought my celica gt4 and also my 2wd cossie.
I didn't have a problem with my cars but my mate bought a series 2 rs turbo
which looked the nuts but slowly but surely died. Another mate got a golf gti with similar story

There is a much better place local to us, and thats WRC sales in Bradford. Thats well worth a look for Evo's, Scooby's and Skylines!
Congrats on new car mate, what have you got planned for it?? I was tempted to one of these myself, but like manuals. :lol:
Keighly is close to me! We often have a blast over to have a look at what they got in stock. Like Gord says its got some over priced heaps of junk, but it occasionally has some well priced nice cars in, but they tend to go quite quickly.

iv got a few mods lined up for this car, but not much......
get that front bumper finished with having the canards flushed, then resprayed.
find and fit the RECARO seats
fit the custom rear lip,
re desgine the exhaust
find and fit the super side skirts, if not, fit the FL ones i had on the galant.
fit the evo style bonnet
refit all the speakers and car PC
lower the car
fit the RX8 alloys or leave with what i got, either way they will be resprayed to dark gunmetal.
either wrap the bonnet, wing mirrors, skirts, spoiler in CF or have them sprayed "black" (the old colour of my galant)
send the car away to be professionally cleaned and paint restoration.
decide on some artwork and have it fitted.
fine chrome kick plate, if not have a set custom made and designed then chromed.
In the dark i watch and wait......
From what the last owner told me, the garage had no idea what the car was! lol.
