Well after looking around for a while I finaly have got myself a VR4, a '97 Legnum Tiptronic.

Current list of mods include:
V-SPL Front mount
Cusco hard pipes
Pro-shop Iida throttle body elbo pipe
Greddy Profec B Spec II
SVC turbo timer
Pro-shop Iida front pipe
Mines LCD boost gauge
TSL 100 High flow cat
Buddy Club 'Racing Spec' voltage stabiliser/condenser
Ultra earthing kit
Alloy catch can
PLX SM-AFR wideband O2 sensor
HKS Super Power flow filter
Fluidyne Extra Heavy Duty Transmission cooler
Sard sports radiator
Sard FPR w/ gauge
TRE Uprated Fuel pump
Recirc Valve from an EVO VIII
Carbotech XP8 brake pads
Rossini sloter front rotors
Rossini sigature rear rotors
refurbed calipers
exact engineering flexable brake lines
Bilstein B8s (shortened for lowering springs)
Tein S-techs
Cusco anti-roll bars
Greddy tripple tube rear strut tower bar
MMCS (japanese navigation/climate control)

That should be it, I think... :)

List of mods to do that need to be bought:
Map ECU2 piggyback ECU with tuning (will allow removal of MAF and no more fuel cut)
Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust
Snowperformance Stage 3 water/methanol injection
possible larget injectors
seat brackets for the Recaros
possible coilovers depending on how the current setup feels with the power increase
Brembo conversion
17" x 8" Enkei RPF1
Toyo T1-R
BOV maybe the Tial but not decided yet

List of things to install that came with the car:
Recaro Style in aristo black http://www.recaro-seats.co.uk/ergonomics/style-xl.php
Alloy turbo inlets pipes with Blitz filters for dual free flowing intakes after MAF removal
Sard intercooler sprayer

In its current form its enough to have alot of fun in with 183bhp ATW which is about 200hp to the rest of the world. It has been maintained to a degree that if something was starting to show minimal signs of wear it was replaced and all fluids change to Amsoil. But enough writing now some pics. Ill post more after it stops raining and snowing.



When I first went and looked at it
