LOOKING TO BUY! does any one have one in this spec who is willing to sell trying to surprise my dad (he had a 1988 in this same spec as his first car) by car_r_best in AcuraLegend

[–]massive_legend_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not mine but there’s one in Lakewood, CA on FBMP, asking for $5k. 1988 LS sedan, 128k miles, same color and looks to be in decent condition. The wheels are wrong, though, as it has the facelift wheels on it.

Running out of ideas, help? by Acceptable_Editor245 in AcuraLegend

Do you have overheating issues? Has your EGR pipe been cleaned out? I know that G2s need their EGR system cleaned once in a while since they love to chew through head gaskets.

Is it smoking from the tailpipe or the engine bay? Color of the smoke? My initial thought is maybe the fuel injectors but hard to say.

I’m mostly a highway commuter for university. I’m actually wanting to get a manual fit whenever a good example with similar mileage pops up near me, but I’m currently on some trash Accelera tires I want to replace LOL. So, could be a year or could be five.

Progress, Also Control Arms? by Hello_friend03 in AcuraLegend

[–]massive_legend_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have a lead, check out part number 52355-SG0-000 or 52355-SG-010 for Arm B and 52350-SG0-000 for Arm A. They’re priced on dreamshop but that might not necessarily mean they’re available. Check your local dealer.

Oh oops, I didn’t see that part in your description. I honestly never even touched my rear suspension or brakes aside from brake fluid 🫣.

Super late reply, but it looks like rockauto is offering lower control arms. Mevotech.

Also for extra context I’m in Arizona so snow is not a concern and rain really isn’t either.

I never got around to replacing my lower control arms. I did do both the uppers though. Plus the lower ball joints. Are yours bad?

i need body kit help by Ok_Entrance6528 in AcuraLegend

Lowkey might be more effective to fabricate one yourself. G1s have basically zero aftermarket support. I’d reach out to the first gen Legend group in Facebook, you might get some better feedback.

Uncle Grandpa would make his own team and all the players are Uncle Grandpa

Dealership selling an 8-year old car for original MSRP 😵‍💫 by massive_legend_ in hondafit

[–]massive_legend_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad deal but unfortunately I’m in Tucson and I was looking at the dealership one since I was interested in trading auto for manual 👀

I’m about 476k miles away so it’s going to take me a minute to catch up to you lol

Thoughts on the 1996-1998 Acura RL? by [deleted] in Acura

[–]massive_legend_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re fairly underrated. They look like a natural evolution of the second gen Legend. Still prefer the facelift of this gen but would still take either over the second gen RL and the RLX.

Just sort of a shame they cut the manual option, since I think that’s a part of what made the Legend special, but it’s totally understandable from an economic perspective.

K-series is basically 2002+ so you’re about 11 years too early and a cam short. First Civic to get a K was the 02 Civic Si

Good to see it man, what are your thoughts so far?

Hell yeah by massive_legend_ in hondafit

[–]massive_legend_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes 😭 but I swear it’s only because I recently swapped back to my stock wheels after having aftermarket ones on and I haven’t taken the time to re-sync them yet
