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?
According to this site: http://www.auterraweb.com/aboutcan.html
The first year IS to have a CAN bus was 2006, which was in the 250 and 350.
My question is that does the 2001-2005 IS have multiple ECU's and if so how do they communicate (i.e. proprietary, ad-hoc)?
Thank you.
Previous owner did not take care of leather so it is splitting and cracking.
Any ideas on vendors who sell replacement seat covers.
I don’t care if seats are leather just want factory look for front seats ?
Sportcross front passenger seat could be difficult to source due to fold flat design
Any...
Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
Anyone have any experience with an aftermarket OE replacement oil pan? Mine is dented from the PO and since I have to pull it to address the gasket leak i was going to replace it.
The aftermarket ones are WAY cheaper than OE. But I am curious about the manufacture quality. Doesn't seem like...
