I WANNA SEE IT! Stick at it man, this is one of those rare gems that are worth saving. The Evo will definitely be getting more views as it's got a bigger community, but with the legnum you'll have the loyal backing of a niche community which I think is worth its weight in gold from a TH-cam persepctive
Keep doing the VR4 Videos man, there are next to none on youtube. be that one person to control the platform. plus watching you work on yours makes me want to finish my 5 year project from sitting in the shed
You probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Dakari Odin thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Please, keep going, I'm currently trying to buy a Legnum VR4 as well and honestly this is the only channel that I found in English that can help me. I subscribed because of this build.
THE LEGNUM HAS BEEN SOLD!!! I've just seen it crop up on a Legnum Facebook page that I follow (I have a legnum myself) and it's the exact same car. So evidently since this video was published its changed hands once or twice, maybe more... and its still smoking
I would love to see at least what's wrong with it but you are correct, it will cost thousands and the car or motor will never "trend" on TH-cam. Up side, if you did fix it you will have a very unique car.
I think that if someone did it, a strip down and rebuild, there would be a few followers. I'm keen to see how it's done as that is where I am heading with mine. I have no mechanical.sense whatsoever. But I will give shit a go.
I know the vids are doing poorly on your channel, but you have the entire audience of english speaking legnum owners, this is the only channel incan understand that makes vids about the car i just bought, and personally i think the uniqueness of it makes it way cooler than an evo X, although thats not a popular opinion. Id love to see it continue, and i think the car is well worth figuring out!
It looks like Legnum has a great problems with cooling system that's why it was overheated previously and the flat surface of cylinder head become bent or it could be even a crack in a head. Also I've heard that knocking noise of an engine which sounds like a piston rocking inside in a cylinder, also due to overheat piston could stuck (or detone was high) and break it's grooves what can cause such an oil consumption. I think you should do air leak test first of all and than compression test. Or just supply 5-6 bars of air (you can make an adapter from old spark plug) to each cylinder at the phase of closed intake and exhaust valves. Problem with piston rings, you will hear air from oil filling, problem with head gasket you'll see bubbles in radiator. If problems with valves, air will come out from exhaust pipe or intake. During this test crankshaft should be fixed firmly. And really do not give up!!! Mitsubishi, old Mitsubishi cars are very good for restoration and repair, unlike modern cars that are designed for 50k miles... Modern crap
Would be great to see a follow up video with a test kit to determine if the coolant and oil are mixing plus doing a compression test to get a good overal Idea of what's happening. If headgasket then again it would be so good to see that done that here on the channel!
There is quite a few here in Australia. I am keen to see it fixed, incase i need to do it at some stage. And I'm sure others will be keen to see the build. I'll share it in the forum.
Set aside and get evo done and later down the road return I have a car siting to the side with a head gasket failure and eventually we’re gonna fix to be a daily. But if it’s not helping channel from that point of view I would say evo is always gonna get more views because the evo community is huge and I know I watch evo videos none stop when I’m going to bed when I sleep but either way I love your content. Kinda wish you would’ve found a cheap bmw e36 or somthing I bet that community is just as large as evo but either way I’ll always watch your videos have a great day. It’s your channel at the end of the day do whatever works for you. Evo content when tuned is gonna be nuts. I predict a big turn out for thoses videos and I get it’s not cheap to build evos but damn do they make for good content. I wonder what twin bigger turbos on that would be like lol. Very nice looking car. Super JDM
these things are rare as fuck nowadays been looking 5 years for one at a non inflated price id stick to it mate it'll be worth it in the coming years especially when they are allowed for US import prices I imagine will sky rocket
It does look like the head gasket has gone. I'm no expert but if the turbo seal was an issue I've heared of the cats getting full of oil and it will still smoke even when you've fixed the problem. Not sure if you can flush the cat out or just wait untill it burns out
Not good mate, probably air bubble for over heating. Take it for a good drive to get exhaust hot if water level drops you know your burning it. Rebuilt time, pass it on, you have a class evo to play with.
I appreciate how you feel, if it is just the head gasket then for you that's not to difficult, but if it turns out not to be, how deep do you want to travel down that rabbit hole ?
Exactly my thoughts it not as simple as changing the headgasket it will be much more work. Assuming everything goes smooth its going to cost around £900 to do the work in parts alone. If its not that or something goes wrong thats alot of money
I totally understand your point about poor views and a lot to take on. However there's very few videos about legnums around and It would be interesting to at least find out what the problem was. I find it very odd how dead the legnum community is, it looked like it was busier in the past looking at the forums. Do you reckon there will be a resurgence of interest in these beasts or are they just to niche?
i changed both on mine because they both fucked out at the same time, now its just big single turbo no fucking around :P and yeah 9 times out of 10 its the front turbo that blows :P
Nearly £400 of parts from viamoto.co.uk £145 more if you add a radiator too Plus head skimming etc If anyone is wanting to keep the car long term than a worthwhile investment. But this car has already been sold on

@Dakari Odin it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Dante Asher glad I could help =)
Keep going mate you’re the only person who actually makes videos on the vr4 in English anyway

I'd like to see the repairs for the headgaskets ..
Keep doing the VR4 videos ...there's almost none on TH-cam

removal of heads would be a great tutorial for these motors
Be nice to see it running please don't give up

Want to see you fixin' it!
these things are rare as fuck nowadays been looking 5 years for one at a non inflated price id stick to it mate it'll be worth it in the coming years especially when they are allowed for US import prices I imagine will sky rocket
mate something different and people dont see this being sorted ... go for it
Yeah I think she's worth a fix. 👍
Please dont give up mate
It does look like the head gasket has gone. I'm no expert but if the turbo seal was an issue I've heared of the cats getting full of oil and it will still smoke even when you've fixed the problem. Not sure if you can flush the cat out or just wait untill it burns out
Keep it fix it, I wish I could have kept mine as well as the x
Did you end up changing the head gasket?
I just subbed because of the vr4
Not good mate, probably air bubble for over heating. Take it for a good drive to get exhaust hot if water level drops you know your burning it. Rebuilt time, pass it on, you have a class evo to play with.
Great vid bud ❤️👌
The rubber valve seals can make it smoke if they're worn
It's an easy fix
I appreciate how you feel, if it is just the head gasket then for you that's not to difficult, but if it turns out not to be, how deep do you want to travel down that rabbit hole ?
Exactly my thoughts it not as simple as changing the headgasket it will be much more work. Assuming everything goes smooth its going to cost around £900 to do the work in parts alone. If its not that or something goes wrong thats alot of money
I would see how much it’s gonna cost first seems a shame to give up
Also i just did my gaskets done
Piston rings?
I totally understand your point about poor views and a lot to take on. However there's very few videos about legnums around and It would be interesting to at least find out what the problem was. I find it very odd how dead the legnum community is, it looked like it was busier in the past looking at the forums.
Do you reckon there will be a resurgence of interest in these beasts or are they just to niche?
I think a resurgence will be difficult because there aren’t any left in the UK. Someone told me there are just 21 on the road
Gutted for you , it is a 20+ year old car . Hope its not the head gasket, parts for them are not cheap.
@@ianturbo6201 worked it out around £1000 to do it properly in parts alone assuming all goes smooth
Yeh, I thought head gasket. Bit of a shame isn't it.
Do you still have the legnum?
if you got some spare ££ i would definitely do it. These cars are getting super rare
Where in the world are you i have a entire spare car of parts vr4 legnum
i changed both on mine because they both fucked out at the same time, now its just big single turbo no fucking around :P and yeah 9 times out of 10 its the front turbo that blows :P
I think it is smoking because of the piston rings.
Fix it! But I think it’s to late
Head gasket shouldn't be expensive?
Gasket set, two heads to skim, head studs and timing belt kit it quickly adds up. £950 minimum if it all goes smooth not including water pump etc
Its almost 200 quid belt pulleys and water pump . If you can do it then go for it .
Nearly £400 of parts from viamoto.co.uk
£145 more if you add a radiator too
Plus head skimming etc
If anyone is wanting to keep the car long term than a worthwhile investment.
But this car has already been sold on
Hey deffs wanna see more
fix the head gasket. make new timing belts with water pumps and the car runs like a clockwork
Change the head gasket
I'd fix it no point in not doing it not a easy car to find theses days
Fix it man
Fix it please
