I’ve bought a brand new Galant back in 1998 and used it for 9 years. This video is like a trip in memory lane. I knew every nut and bolt on that car. Awesome cars.
Not only did we get to see JDM Tree, but we got to see a JDM Beettle all in the same video.
Between the Stagea and the Legnum, I like the looks of the Stagea more but the performance of the Legnum more. Too bad I cannot afford either.
Sad to want either but afford neither
Really? How much do they roughly cost where you live
@@juce1410 They were popular in AUS. I live in the USA. If the GTRs are any indicator, you are going to look at paying ~30K - 50K USD for a Stagea RS260 or a Legnum.
In AUS ten years ago, the Stagea was going for ~15K USD.
@@tenoki damn that’s real expensive, I’m a kiwi (New Zealander) and we have a fair bit of gvr4’s and legnums so they’re often between $5-10k nzd, I knew they’d be more expensive overseas but I want thinking that much, damn
@@juce1410 Yeah, here in the USA, we are paying the " Send our leftover stuff to the Americans" tax since we have 25 years or older exception. We are paying top dollar for the left over stuff since the cream de la creme has already been sent of to the Commonwealth countries.
I’m surprised there are many of these left in Japan, I was sure Aus/NZ imported them all in the early 2000s
Yes still a lot for sale in n.z cheap
derek. longtime no see ,glad you are back.
I imported one of these (auto AYC), one of the first imported into Australia (compliance passed when the car was on the ship). I imported it to sell, but it became my daily when my v35 gt8 started having issues. I’ve had a number of JDM cars since and can honestly say that my VR4 was the best car I’ve ever owned.
It is the first time im seeing you open the left side passenger door to show the car interior.
I'm switching it up to stay relevant.

7:55 JDM BUG NEAR JDM TREE
It looks so cool! Never heard of it before too!
I need one of those in my life.
Car review & a nature documentary @ 7:53 🤣🤣🤣
The 96 Evo 4 GSR also had AYC, Active Yaw Control.
Oh man, what I'd do to have one of these in a manual. They're hens-teeth rare though, sadly.
I’m surprised they made them at all in manual. A lot of the other manufacturers around this time weren’t putting manuals in their midsize wagons. The Accord SiR wagon, for example, was auto only.
@@interstate366 Yeah that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, Honda's being well known for their excellent manual gearboxes and 'envolving' driving style of their cars, owed to their handling.
But I suppose that's the JDM market for you.
@@R33Racer Yeah. Toyota also didn’t put the manual in the Altezza Gita (IS300 Sportcross elsewhere) or the Mark II Blit despite the sedan versions of those cars having them available.
They also never put a manual in the Aristo or Crown at all during the JZ years, though you can use Soarer/Supra/X chassis donor parts to swap them.
I have seen a couple of Altezza Gitas with manuals at auction. I always thought the same that they were all autos. It was a 6 speed manual as well.. which is weird because it was the 1GG inline 6 cylinder engine, not the 3S-GE BEAMS.
@@PacificCoastAuto That is strange. I know there are Beams manuals, I didn't even know they had inline 6's as an engine opton!
It does seem that wagons/estates are inherently more likely to be autos, at least in Japan.
I thought that the 2nd gen Stagea's were all autos, but they did sell manual transmissions of them too apparently. A very rare option that almost nobody chose it seems, sadly.
i thought the evo 4 was the first to get active yaw control???
What a car! 👌😍👏
I love these, it’s like a 6 cyl Evo
Damn that looks good. I still want the purple paint with some bronze wheels.
So cool
I found one in Germany, a 97 Manual, for only about 8900 USD, good condition, still stock.
They are proshop ida pipes, also looks like headlights from a super vr-4 headlights
Really cool car
I would swap 4g63t in it and it would be a perfect sleeper wagon.
That's why I picked up the Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo R Ralliart. It mostly blends in with everything else on the road.. mostly :D
I'm thinking of finding some sets of the trunk badges for the Evo "EVOLUTION VII" to spell out "VANOLUTION VII". Derek did a video of it back in February I think.
People have done that it’s meh but it costs the better part of 40k just to get it turn iver
You could have factory manual and ayc. I have a 2001 type s and comes with both.
That's cool. Thanks for the info.
Getting one of these beauties soon, Auto but will do the trick
probably holes from a oem/aftermarket spoiler?
Can't wait to own one of these!!!
Did you get one?
Dude, be careful on your inspections next time. On all cars sent at Jemael (you know who I'm talking about), 3 was very rusty, including this Legnum. All strut have heavy rust. The Evo TME is dead, we are looking for an other shell, and one Aristo (the black without sunroof) has been cutted because heavy rust too... !
I want one.
i prefer the look of the old caldinas
I thought the Lancer Evolution IV was their first car with AYC?
What size are those wheels?
Hi. How can I contact you guys? I REALLY need one my life, preferably a 96 as I am in the US. Or next year a 1997. They make about 300HP at the wheels, seen dynos.
whats wrong with the 6a13 engine??? why swap a 4g63 in it??? is it because there are more options??? I asking since i havent swapped an engine in my life but im curious of picking an engine and putting it in....
Weight and aftermarket support probably.
Also general parts and maybe reliability.
@@kekethetoad maybe easier to put the mechanical parts in but i cant imagine mapping all the eletrical shit on to a smaller engine... now if it was for some form of motorsport than I get it but if its only for day to day driving or even weekend warrior than i dont see the point....
@@iammyworstenemy3807 good points
No note on auction sheet about strut tower rust ? Another crappy USS sheet. Can’t trust them anymore :(
Ligma?
Balls
I can't find parts for these anywhere in the states, anyone got any tips for vehicles that have the same brakes/suspension stuff?
Есть в Казахстане
Suspension would be eclipse for the states, I think 2g or 3g I'm not too familiar.
Brake wise the one in the video dosnt have the normal 294mm twin pot 2 piece calipers either, unsure what the eclipse used for brakes.
Price?
errr merrr gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd! happy sigh !love seeing these. i want
What a Beauty! 😍
I guess that rear hatch has been blessed...it's hole-y 😉
😍😍
It is similar to the Fiat Marea
Not true on mitsu paint IVE got a 3000gt vr4 paint looks as good as day I bought it !!!!!
It's nice! too bad its a Mitsubishi
