Update i have finished earlier than expected. I only ran into a couple of problems which i was expecting broke 2 fuel injectors removing them from the lower runner and the TB that I polished had broken piece of plastic where it holds the throttle cable in its spot so i had to swap mine off of my car and onto the new one. I also went a head and did another polish with a rotary tool and a drum sanding bit in the IM only because the first time i did it i didnt do a very good job so i cleaned up my work a lil bit. So now the only thing inhave left to do is the legend brake caliper upgrade probably in the next couple of weeks but i was able to get the hard stuff out of the way for now, i will probably go back later this year and replace the last 3 injectors after taking everything apart this car is surprisingly easy to work on, so here are some pictures i tried to remember to take while doing thishttps://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...cc787c9fc5.jpg
Broken injector 1 https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...326a2cf917.jpg #2 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...834867d135.jpg Looks a little bit better https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...fdd8c71658.jpg The TB installed https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...21e2b2f7bf.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...7176bcf37f.jpg Cleaned the egr port https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...bf590eb111.jpg Put the back runner on while waiting for parts to come https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...b62cbd597d.jpg Dirty https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...34e62ce059.jpg Most of everything reassembled https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...8c5f79a3ef.jpg Fuck this bolt haha https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...2f09f34e3f.jpg Still not the best but better than before |
Nice! The broken piece on the TB may be the cruise control cable. Mine broke but instead of a new TB I used some wire to keep it captive. I worry about it but years have gone by. Im getting ready to have headers and new exhaust installed, cai I’ll do and in the back of my mind have a Ron Jon body kit installed. What do you know about a bushing kit or like an energy suspension kit? I would have a shop do it which will probably be expensive. You planning on a turbo or SC? Keep postin’ - I’m followin’ |

Those injectors are always a PITA to get out without breaking. I broke a few when i did mine good thing i had a spare motor to pick from.

Nah engine has over 200xxx im just keeping it running and doing simple and subtle mods I am going to do the legend brake caliper upgrade in the next couple of weeks that will be my next mod |
I just searched that. Nice DIY. I had a 2dr 1990 legend 5sp before the CL. My dealer is having a timing belt job special (water pump, tensioner, etc) for like $1700. The car has over 220k miles and I did it once around 110k like 6 years ago. Think it’s time to do it again? I’m trying to prioritize. The Ron Jon kit keeps falling to the bottom of the list. :blink: I ordered some 2003 smoke headlights on the marketplace on here this week and am waiting for them to arrive. |
1700 and its a special? LOL. walk away.
good progress OP. i never have liked taking the LIM off. PITA. |
Timing belt and water pump should run 1000$ at the absolute most parts and labor
thank you 03-6/6. Ill keep updating when i make some more progress |
Im back! I took along break there doing these mods i said i was going to do well...I got around to doing the Legend caliper upgrade easy install and haven't had any issues yet

I got around to doing some more work on the CL during the winter months here a few photos from the progress
Tein street advance z coil overs Rpf1 17x8.5 40mm bfgoodrich sport comp g2 245/45/17 New valve cover gaskets and intake manifold plenum gasket set I wasnt happy with the way i painted the valve covers the first time, so i removed all the paint and re did them with VHT wrinkle red it turned out much better. I also spray the intake manifold with VHT silver metalic but it turned out more blue....oh well it dont look bad. Now the snow needs to melt so i can take this thing for a rip its been way to long of a winter here https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...993c6ba06b.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...bd49c9bf9a.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...c32da176ee.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...fdca7b5241.jpg |

whenever you get a min could you get more shots of the valve cover/intake mani... i'm super digging that silver/blue ,,, I like the silver/blue and the offset black pieces..
