That legnum back there look ~HOT~ worked to the hilt but still hot. I looked at them before i bought my stag but the little known engine etc oh and its a bitsashiti. Whats the deal with em? has anyone been in one? are they quick? tight?

[rb26stagea]

very nice drive: It was a while back, but it seemed to be very brisk. Of course, I owned a Pulsar SSS at the time, so anything with forced induction felt pretty quick. I found the plastics a bit second rate, but on the whole, it was a very impressive piece of kit. And that was when the guy was asking $22k. For the $12K - $15k you'd pay now, they are very good value for money...

Just my experience/opinion

[itchy]

ask "jasevr4", or "VRFOUR", they've both owned one.

i currently have a Super VR-4 on its way, due to arrive very soon!

Recaro's, carbon fibre dash, twin turbo V6 with a 5 spd tiptronic box and AYC... cant wait!

They go alright but are a nightmare to work on (no space) not much common performance parts and they are not hard to break, the interior is also a bit tacky IMO. they are however much cheaper than a manual stagea, but that may quickly be outweighed by repaires!

nah I haven't owned one.. I've got an evo 7 at the moment though. was strongly considering getting one but opted for the Stagea purely just because of the aftermarket gear that was available locally. Stock for stock the Legnum has more going for it but at the end of the day it's pretty much just personal preference on what you like the look of/to work on/etc.

I loved my little NA 2L pulsar SSS

sure not as much torque or horsepower.. but more fun cause you could hold onto a gear longer and rev out more without approaching instant loss of license speeds too fast hhaha

Perhaps it's better described as a "shooting brake." Whatevs, the lines of the Porsche 944 lend themselves shockingly well to wagonization. Our Dutch is nonexistent, but from what we can gather, this 1981 944 Turbo could be yours if you've got 25,000 Euros kicking around. Shipping it over to the US from Genk would assuredly feel longer and more agonizing than what a five-year old experiences watching the second hand march around the clock on December 24th. The condition is said to be showroom perfect, and indeed, even the seats look far less beaten than what we routinely see lurking inside 1980s Porsches offered on eBay. There's about 175 horsepower on tap from the 2-liter four cylinder, so while it looks much faster, hot rodded Volvo 240 Turbos might be showing you their taillights.

This is the perfect Porsche for the folks with kids who don't want to join the lemmings in the Cayenne. Roughly 30 grand doesn't buy you a ton of exclusivity, either, but this Porsche Estate will definitely shut the mouths of those that feel the need to keep up with the Joneses. If you play around with the turbo boost settings, they'll have a tough time keeping up with you, too.

muahaha its got my navara's engine, but even littler.

some cars really date, don't they

[GoldZilla]

What engine is it, Duncan? Single cam, 8-valve CA-18?

[Duncan]

thats a single spark z18 or z20...not the mighty z18et or the big block z24. kinda like a L series but a little newer. Pre CA/RB series

[Stinky Rooster]

doesn't the L series have a MASSIVE hump at the front of the rocker cover for the cam wheel?

well, the L20 in my last 2 bluebirds did
