Leaving Skid Marks
Hello kind folks of OZVR4!
Thank you for allowing me to register on this forum.
I'm Tony and I live in Hamilton in New Zealand.
I currently own two Legnum VR-4's: a very dark green (almost black to casual look) 1996 model which is option code 408 and a blue 1997 model which is option code 000. Both are auto trans and are rather high mileage.They have alarms fitted and the 1996 one has an aftermarket radio since it came with the satnav which the previous owner had partially removed but are otherwise stock, and I do not wish to modify them in any way, just keep them running and usable.
I'm also registered on ClubVR-4 under the same username and my reason for joining both forums is simply to gather any required information to assist with any repairs which will be needed, and to share any assistance to others that I can. I'm a radio communications and electronics technician not a mechanic so any assistance I may be able to offer anyone will be in the field of electrics/electronics.
I have read the threads linked to in the intro post, and I don't intend to make a fool of myself here: I'm 61 years old not some young hoon, my posts will attempt to be genuine, considered, courteous and hopefully not a source of any offence to anyone however I may ask for advice from time to time on things which you more mechanically-minded folks may consider trivial so please remember that mechanicing (is that a real word?) is not my field of expertise.
Prior to obtaining my first Legnum I had a 1990 Galant VR-4 which was undoubtedly the best car I have ever owned or probably ever will, I was sad to see it go but it had issues which were beyond my scope to repair and I was unable to find anyone who I could have confidence in to do the necessary repairs in my area. The saddest part is that the guy who bought it off me came from a long way south but was a Mitsubishi dealer mechanic: had I known of his existence prior to advertising the Galant for sale I would have driven it all the way to him and paid him to do the work whatever it cost.... that's life, I guess.
Best wishes for 2015 to everyone here.
