Hey guys,
I'm a new proud owner of a legnum 96' Vr-4 in meister blue... so hot!!! Another iron chef follower.
Had it for about a month or so, i've been really lazy, gotta get some pics up.
She's in great condition, but the front passenger doors a little dented!!! Gotta get it fixed!!
I'm in the north east suburbs of adelaide, dead keen bout downhill mountinbiking, and my siberian husky!!! Hence the reason for the wagon. So damn handy!!!
If any meets are happening in adelaide let me know! I'll be there in a flash.
I'd be interested to know if anyone stuck bigger turbos on theirs, it looks pretty squeasey in there!

fitting bigger turbos onto them is difficult. Is your one a manual or an auto? If it is an auto, I'd probably leave it as it is, perhaps up the boost and fit an exhaust, thats about it!

Gotta get some pics up though, meister blue is my favourite prefacelift colour! (I own a prefacelift Legnum ST-R in meister)

Hi Dwayne,

welcome to the forums, good to see another SA member. I think I actually saw your car at Kristian's place just before you took delivery, remember the slight dent It was a very nice car, and you had that cool cargo net - make sure you put pics up for everyone else

Hey Dwayne, welcome to the site

What's with the account name, btw? Something tells me there's a story behind that...

Look forward to seeing pics of your ride!

You SHOULD remember, it was the one I mixed the leads up when I was jump starting and had to rebuild the alternator...

Still chasing up your parts for you, D - should have an answer tonight.

Of course I remember - I just wasn't sure if you told him about it being an (almost) test drive - I didnt want him to think I was the reason for his alternator going pop!

Your other half probably was though lol

Hey welcome Dwayne!

You sound like you're around the Para Hills area... I grew up around there.

Mine's an auto & I'm looking at getting an AM ecu & fitting bigger turbos. I'll keep you all posted in the Members Rides section.

Hey Im in the north eastern suburbs too (dernancourt)! I think I may have seen you a couple of weeks ago - did you turn from aberdeen ave onto lyons road for a bit, then turned down one of the backstreets of Windsor Gardens?

Post up pics of your legnum, your husky, and your downhill bike (3 of my favourite things!). My husky wont be going in the legnum anytime soon, she just drops way too much hair!
