You Guys Might Have Some Competition Soon!

[Iron Chef]

Just giving you a heads up

I've just finished my application for the Legnum VR-4 (EC5W) and their Galant sedan counterparts to be approved for import under the SEVS regulations. Should have an answer in a month or so. They're coming to get ya'!

[MrGTST]

Give me a stagea anyday!!!!

[EGA41T]

lol...but can you fit a mountain bike in the back lying down?

does look quite nice though. i like the front end. what kind of power do these things make? ...4wd im assuming?

[EGA41T]

there is one thing i really dont like about them though...

Its missing one of these!

[Konrad]

legnum>stagea IMO. They just look so sleek, the stageas are a bit to volvoish for my taste. Unless you're talkin 260RS which owns all wagons

lol. only way that could keep up with a double unicorn would be if you had twin ramjets in the roof locker.

hahahahahahaha.

I woulnt compare the legnum with anything other than the 260rs, the whole twin turbo thing has to vs nissan twin turbo power.

A legnum is a twin turbo (3000GT engine), 4wd manual wagon thing

I wouldnt give up the availability of parts for the nissan over the legnum, as the legnum wouldnt have any SK group buys or anything

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

I have driven both the tt Legnum and the 260rs in stock trim. The 260 will own it every time. The Legnum is a nice looking car though, I'd hate to work on one though.

[Iron Chef]

lol - look at them all jump in to defend!

I used to own an EC5A Galant VR-4, as far as I know the only on in Oz. Now resides in Sydney. Mine was manual with Active Yaw Control, which is a very rare combo, even in Japan. I brought mine back with me from Japan.

They're 2.5V6 twin turbo, 206kW. I think you could probably dust an RS-Four in one, but not a chance against a 260RS - with the factory exhaust, the small turbos on the Legnum mean it runs out of puff at the top end, although the engine is a really free revver.

Parts were a real pain, I got mine from Mitsubishi NZ with only a 2-3 day wait if it was urgent. Guys at Auckland Mistubishi were legends. Not many people mod them, which makes power up stuff hard to come by.

I love Stageas, but for similar money, I'd probably take a Legnum (although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??). Interior is really nicely done - all quality materials inside.

[jasevr4]

Ooh nice. From what I can tell though, Legnums are harder to find in manual though.

You guys are right on the parts front though - so much bolt on Skyline gear that you have.

I think simplicity is sometimes better.. The single turbo setup of the RB25 is much cheaper to modify than that of a Legnum..

Decisions decisions now... I prefer the look of Legnums, but parts are still an issue. There's a guy in Hong Kong with an Evo 8 4G63 in a Legnum - making big power too apparently!

[AlexCim]

oh dont get me wrong, beautiful cars. Ill definatly consider owning one some time down the track, but for the money, id just get a 260rs.

There has got to be another wagon out there to rival it?

Hmm, I know what ill get when i can, AMG E55 Estate version. That will be the king of the road

[jasevr4]

Audi RS8 Estate? (I think they are called?) Very cool.

[beastien]

Looks nice, would i be right in saying the S2 stagea has around 206kw aswell?

Theres just no comparison between a Mitubishi and a Nissan

[timmmay]

what about this one http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/...3&model_id=4738

[AlexCim]

That would have been a personal import me's thinks

B*st*rd

LOL fair 'enough

Nice looking wagon..............

[-FUZZY-]

although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??

*runs out to clean the car*

You'll have to come back and drive it again in bout 3months ... then see which you'll prefer!!

Another hot wagon is the Toyota Caldina ... would be a good comparison between the three makes l reckon!!!

[Iron Chef]

That bloke with the Legnum better hope he sells soon - they'll be coming in for half that price.

Caldina has already been approved for import too.

[Szemen]

omg! I was always tossing between the Legnum VR-4 and the Stagea...looks amazing! Congratualtions!

[Wildcat]

i think it looks bloody ugly...what is the deal with the back??

Give me my stagea anyday...if only it would hurry up and arrive
