Well I went back and forth with this for months and finaly settled on those on the car. These are the ones I was going to use. And never did...but they are for sale



I like them and am still real curious on how good they would look on a Legend.

I am happy with the set on the car now. I even found a set of Acura centercap decals to fit

What impresses me more then the speed is the mileage on the legend, is that really 230k? That car is in great shape either way, but if that's really 230k miles that's amazing.

oh yea, slow down!

Yup that is the real milage. The car runs VERY strong and smooth. I am pulling the motor in the next few months to drop in a Type II motor. I also am throwing on headers, a cold air intake, and squeeeze a wet 50 shot.

Oh and when I got the car... every single service record was given to me since the car was new. Almost all at the same dealer... almost all by the same tech.

Yeah that one was a nice 90 wolfy. I dumped the stock 8 valve and instead did a 2.0 X flow. Then SDS engine managment and a 50 shot of nitrous

That's sweet. Maybe if the star's align properly I will be able to have a 2.0t or even a VR6 motor come spring time, so I can ditch the 8v

Yes they do. OBX makes a set that actually yielded 12 hp. I do not recall the tourque numbers, but at $350 they are worth the time. However I am waiting on a set being built by Stromung. But if they are not ready by the time I drop in the Type II I will just use OBX.

At one point I had a 1.8T for it. All I needed was the coil packs for the SDS. Sadly I wrecked the car into a curb median while lookin at another car. Just the front wheel hi... but was justthe right angle it kinda twisted everything.

And being this has the bue interior with that color... makes even more rare.
