Got my Legnum today...

[Fred]

Hey all, finally got my legnum today.... , drove down to syd and got it, very very smooth car, even in the wet, and best part, my god, iv'e never had a 4wd that sideways around a roundabout...near shit meself....


Already had some clown in a vt commo V6 try and race me, and i loved it......., and i don't think it's that bad on feul (run's)...anyways, first problem, when cornering hard, and the ayc starts to light up, i hear a whining noise from the rear...is it normal...???

 

[bradc]

you need to get your AYC oil changed

 

[Guest]

Congratulations!! now where are the pics ??

 

[J-B]

great to hear, we will be needing pics though

 

[Fred]

cool, diff flush then, how much will i be looking at to get it done at mitsubishi...


will post pics soon...

 

[Guest]

Bradc why? It's just working this way... I mean sure it wouldn't hurt to get new oil and AYC fluid in there, but AYC bars will still light up in the corners and you will hear it working... it's normal.

 

[Fred]

so its meant to make a whine when engaged??? checked the resovoir, plenty of oil, and its nice and pink in colour...

 

[bradc]

there are 3 oils in the diff though, hydraulic oil, atf and normal diff oil. imho when it starts to make noise it is a good time to change them all

 

[SiliconAngel]

I'm with Brad - I think its just a good rule-of-thumb to change all your oils, filters, plugs and other frequent-service parts when you get a new (second-hand) car - never know WHAT the last clown was doing with it *shrugs*

Great to hear you're driving it, Fred!! Fantastic news, enjoy playing with it over the weekend

 

[naughtika]

like others say.. pics or ban! hehe..

 

[Kristian]

I agree - PICS OR BAN! lol

And change that AYC fluid

 

[rich]

My car made the same sound when I first got it, changing the diff oil and ayc clutch fluid got rid of the noise. I just left the ayc hydrolic fluid because it looked fine.

[snickells]

[Fred]

oh, and does anyone know where i can get a new engine cover from, mine is all brown and cracked, looks quite shite so to speak, as the rest of the car is immaculate....Fred.

 

[hawks]

Your car looks good Fred, you are right about the engine cover, I would take it off until you find another one.

How was the drive over the mountains ?

 

[Fred]

very good mate, even in the wet, was a bit more fun though : ) ....yeah, can't fault the car apart from engine cover, and the damn front speakers crackle a bit with some volume, can anyone recommend some good ones, with a bit of bass, as i don't want to put subs in this one....

 

[bogan bob]

Looks awsome Fred!! Manual, leather AND sunroof - half your luck!

Ive got alpine type S splits in the front, id recommend them

 

[Fred]

cool, thanks mate, its already got an alpine head unit in it, how much are they if you don't mind me asking, and where from...???
