hey I'm new to this board and even though I own a 92 Acura Legend, I must say that I love the new IS300's. I'm only 20 and in college, so the idea of me owning one is far from possible, but I just wanted to say that you guys are lucky to have the coolest new car out on the market. Oh yeah and what do you think of Acura Legends. I know IS300's are quick, but do you think they could take a Legend 6-speed coupe (rated at 230hp).
Is that the TypeII Legend 6spd this thing is very rare. In my opinion i like the styling of the legend especially the front.Stock for stock hands down to the Acura Legend they are quick... Dont get me wrong IS300 is a great car to.
WELL WHEN I WAS 16 i wanted the Acura sooooo bad, then i got a INTEGRA and turned that over really quick then got a 96 accord, THE ACURA IS NICE BUT HAS LOTS MORE POUNDS ON THE IS I BELIEVE?????? I THINK THE IS WOULD TAKE IT...
i love the sedan legend. ohhhhh i wanted that car so bad, but i didnt have enough $$$, so i bought a 3rd gen maxima (90'). i love my car now too, its dependable and looks good.
I have an Acura Legend coupe. It is the TypeII engine. Personally I think that my Legend would take the IS, it would be a good race but I think the Legend would win. I wanted the 6spd but the only one I could find, the people wanted 20K and wouldn't budge. F--- that!!
I think the '94 -95 Legends have a timeless shape. The Type II engines have stronger HP numbers than the Type I's, but the Type I's have a little more torque. I own an IS and a '95 Legend coupe and I think the IS would take my coupe (automatic). The Legend feels heavier and less athletic around corners and over bumps.
I agree with Mark, the Legend has a timeless design, and a whole lot of power for the year. Depending on the model the Legend should edge out the IS, especially the 5 and 6 speeds. I have beaten an IS or two with my '94 LS Coupe (Auto) on the freeway, but Im sure it would be a different tale in the twisties. The Legends are also packed full of goodies that Acura decided to leave out of their new models. Telescoping wheel and manual transmission to name a couple of CL-S complaints.
Well also realize that the CL is more or less a Vigor coupe, not a legend. The RL is equipped basically on the same lines as the legend. The CL costs MUCH less than the legend did at its time.
To borrow a line, the Legend Coupe certainly is a timeless design. The bureaucratic mind is difficult to understand, tough. Having a great name recognition and suddenly changing it to an impersonal, nameless "RL" logo was absurd. The future could be bright, though, with a rear wheel drive V8 on the works! Will we see the Legend name again, however?
Sorry if this is redundant, I can't seem to find any threads that talked about this anymore, how do the FRS and BRZ seats fit in the is300? My stock leathers are getting pretty beat up, and the padding in my passenger seat is to s***, not to mention the general lack or shape on these.
I...
I have had this problem intermittently before, but it seems to be happening more regularly. I park and lock the car and later notice the tailights and DRLs are on. Unlocking and starting the car doesn't help. Once they come on, they are on until I disconnect the battery.
It seems there is...
hey everyone, i bought a gs300 transmission, and its a a650e like the is300, looks pretty much the same, plugs and all but the tailshaft connector is different, it has the rubber type like the supras do, where as my one has the slide in tail shaft conector, has anyone run into issues like this...
I understand that it could be found here IS300 Wiring Diagrams - 2JZGARAGE
But I'm confused as I can't figure out the colour coding.
I'm trying to hook up a 2002+ mirror to a 2001 is300.
Could anyone help, please?
I have wind noise at high speeds and I wanted to check what seems to be the most common cause: missing underbody plugs.
Everything seems to be in place for big holes.
But these? (circled, looking backward under left side of the car, underbody panels removed)
Are these drain holes that should...
