Got the opportunity to get one of these for 4k AUD with a vacuum leak. Worth it? I adore the look and sound of these.

I LOVE my legnum, its my first jdm car and i absolutely love everything about it

Man... spitting facts...

Like most cars.....Fun until it becomes a money pit of doom😂

Bought my Evo 6 brand new in 1999 here in the UK. Still have it, and it changed my life both automotively and philosophicaly. I immediately joined the most prolific Evo club at the time, the MLR, and became heavily involved in the scene. Meets were frequent and heavily attended. What was brilliant about that time was ALL, the performance Mitsubishis were present at the meets, so I remember the Legnums, Gallant VR4s, 3000s, FTOs, Pajero Evos (one of my favourites) and of course, the now Ultra rare, Lancer 2000 Turbo, the car that started it all. Have driven most of them, been in all of them and now, looking back, it's apparent that is was a special and glorious time, never to be equalled or repeated. I'll never part with my Evo, it's actually difficult to grasp that it's 25 years old this year! It's not radically modified, I've deliberately limited tuning to 500 bhp at the wheels, any more and it starts to get expensive with tranny upgrades. It has suspension and brake upgrades, strut braces, aero undertrays and a myriad of minor improvements. The most recent mod is a cooler worx short precision shifter, short of a sequential box that is the most effective mod for the trans, superb quality, looks works and feels fantastic. So yes, the 90s was Mitsubishis golden era with such a proliferation of performance cars, and I feel so lucky to have been around and active in that scene. Shame it's all gone so wrong for the diamond star.

Over here in the states and all we get is the GR Corolla which I purchased. Of course I would have gone with the GR Yaris given it's a WRC homologation special if it was offered but the Corolla does make more sense even as tiny as it is. The Yaris would have been totally useless.

when you buy a Tesla. Oh it’s quick. And you shut your mouth and go to work coz you got your home mortgage to pay next week. And then you buy a GR Yaris. Just wait, I go grab my racing Gloves. Only those who own one knows why we have no complaints about it. When you roll in one of those. Who gives shit about tomorrow, just turn in and put your foot down to the floor!

My VR4 has been off the road since 2015 and has 300,000km on the body. it's just sitting in my shed

A Kiwi car channel? Cool. Subbed.

The Tesla will be worthless in 10 years unlike the Yaris

Before I watch this I would assume the GR86 feels the best connected to the street and makes you want you drive it more while on the track you want more power. The Yaris will be the most fun, but most difficult to control, the Supra just will feel fast but heavy and the Corolla unnecessary to be on the track but be the perfect daily.

Mines a daily, I don't regret buying it at all. It always makes me smile

My Galant Vr4 loves its BorgWarner turbo

What about the 4 cylinder Legnum? They never get any love.

I own a96 2.5 Gallant vr4 ayc manual. Am happy with what i got

First time i saw this car i think this is bmw superwagon 😅😅😅 - Funfact : Let me tell you the truth, the shape of the Galant VR-4 is based on BMW because Mitsubishi likes BMW so much that they want to have their own BMW. That's why it's so BMW-like inside and out.

I own one in Chicago!

We called it a Mitsubishi Legroom

We definitely never get these in U.S.A

The reason they're a bit thin on the ground these days is 1: They got ran on 91 and run hard, which melted the engine and 2: they got ran hard and into a tree because they wouldn't pull up on the stock brakes

When I first saw that auto dash cluster I was thinking "probably not the best car to be reviewing", but I saw a manual conversion there and breathed a sigh of relief. The autos aren't much cop in these, although there are a couple of DSM guys in the states that have built them for drag racing, although there's not much left that's OEM Mitsi inside. My mrs has one and I've done a little bit of work to it myself, mainly cosmetics and a full panel and paint job on it. Similar sort of setup, instead its using TD04s out of a Subaru Forester on custom manifolds. We got lucky that a crowd in Hampton Downs got hold of a set of jigs to make VR4 manifolds. The power curve sounds pretty similar to the TME turbos, which are a stock TD03 housing machined out to take a TD04 wheel. We thought about going this road but at that stage the TME turbos were very fresh on the market. Plus the Subaru flange opens up a few upgrade options if ever we wanted to go that way. We tuned to 260kw to the tyres, it made 280kw with a badly heat soaking intercooler. I know there's 300kw in it but at that stage you're knocking on the limits of the stock rods. Sadly it hasn't run in a couple of years and it might not run for a while longer yet as we can't get Gull 98 up here anymore. The brakes on these are, well, appalling, we even went FTO twin pot front brakes and its still not enough to haul these things up. I'm used to cars with monster big brakes on them (had my share of Lexus V8s and european Fords and Audis) so flying into the first corner of the Hampton Downs club circuit with the brakes doing not much was a bit disconcerting. Also, yes, they all rattle the lifters, even on rebuilt engines with quality aftermarket lifters (like the one in the Mrs' VR4), they'll still chatter a lifter or two. A bottle of Pro-Ma MBL8 does shut them up for a while, but at $70 a bottle per oil change, it gets pricey

Had mine 12 years steve from tme even had his hands on it will hand it down to my son.

If you have had a lot of R33 GTR experience. Id love to see your review of a Nissan Stagea 260rs. I think they have fantastic steering and handling plus the RB26. The RS Four S is the Rb25 version in manual. I found the 26 cars drive very differently to the Rb25 cars. Curious how they came to the Legnum. I comsidered buying 1 but wanted an Rb engine for the aftermarket support. I do like the styling of the Legnum.

Very good clip. I am watching all old ones regarding GR Yaris because I've just ordered my own - 2024 spec. I cannot wait I got it. I was driving Gt86 for 4,5 years and over 105.000 km, I hope Yaris will give me at least the same amount of pleasure.

What about swapping an auto one to manual? Any ideas that a 3000GT/GTO 6speed would fit?

I have the 4G63 sedan version of that called the Galant :D best car ive ever had :D love it till this day after all the years its been with me

this are cars once you own, you never want to sell

r34 gtr is more of a boat than the r33, its not really anything like a gtr its an awesome grand touring wagon the gtr is a race car toned down for the road

so wheres the mod list?

i don't see history remembering the fto over the legnum vr4, the legnums were 1000x more common. Any one who's been into jdm cars in any way is well accustomed to the vr4 legnum, and they were overshadowed by GT-B Legacy wagons not other mitsis

I went from an Evo 3 to a VR4. I miss the Evo dearly but I adore my Legnum. In my advancing age I just love how daily drivable it is lol. Boulder County Colorado

There is a fabricating shop in upstate N.Y prototyping parts from the Evo 9,X and 3000GT/stealth. He had a Twin scroll turbo upgrade. A Radium engineering fuel system an A.E.M ecu. I had a class With one of the fabricators, and he explained was purposely trying to break s..t. To check for week points.

They didn't sell them in the USA did they?

a little bit of blue smoke never killed anybody :D

Best looking wagon period.

Fun fact: Mitsubishi and Subaru battle accross all of their model lineup Galant vr4 VS Legacy RS Lancer evo VS Impreza STI Legnum vr4 VS Legacy Wagon specB Airtrek turbo VS Forester XT

As a US car buyer in the market, I would buy GR Yaris over Gr86.

this face of the galant/legnum for me is one of the best looking car ever made.

This is essentially a Mitsubishi Galant Wagon (which i never knew these exist) taken to the extreme lol

Got a 1996 for real cheap a couple weeks back, and it may not LEGALLY be roadworthy quite yet, but it's an insanely powerful car for my 18yo self, and a huge upgrade from my first and only other car, an 02 bone stock lancer 😂. I've got bigger td04 turbos, big intercooler, all the rabbit hole mods as you called them lmao, adjustable suspension, manual, facelift, same wing as the one in this vid, big bore exhaust, subs and an amp in the boot, the list goes on really. Go find one like mine, with all the bells and whistles but with a scruffy exterior, and a few odd leaks and missing bumpstocks to repair 😅. Mean ASF car, 10/10

VR-4 wow 😊 thanks for this video 😊

Legnum in Europe is basically a Galant.

I loved mine, they were very rare in the UK. I hope in the future I'll garb one for sunday drives and restore it.

讚~漂亮！

I'm a VR-4 man, Ive owned a Evo 0 monte carlo (VR-4) and a ZR-4 in New Zealand. LOVED the 4G63T boosting all over town, tracks and drag strips . I have to admit that when my friends dad bought a Galant VR-4 with the V6 twin turbo motor, I laughed (big 4G63 FAN boy here lol. BUT OMG his dad took it down to the melling lights (wellington) on Thursday night.... with his boost up and was cleaning up with the tiptronic gearbox. When I went for a ride in it OMG it was so smooth with that v6 and torquey especially compared to my then ZR-4 Really loved these years of mitsubishi!!

Always thought one of these would be cool with a facelift GTO drivetrain - 3.0L twin turbo/6 speed.

Is it possible to swap a 4g63 in if the engine blows?

This is in the same category as Subaru Legacy B4 twin turbos. A sick car in theory, but always owned by someone who can't quite afford to take care of them. In snowy Western Canada, a lot of both of them get imported and passed around. In the right hands, they can be fantastic snow cars, but they almost never end up in the right hands.

It's Galant Wagon VR4

Is it jdm tho? Ive seen plenty of these wagons in Europe, all euro spec.... Maybe they had weaker drivetrain but it is not exactly japanese exclusive car...
