Lots of legends coming up around here.. Cool man car looks like it is on a great start. Good luck and welcom
Thanks for all your suggestions and reply~ I think the wheels looks great too but it's definitly better to have some 19s on...hehe but it's hard to find dish wheel (which I like best) for acura due to offset problem... and I believe the car will be a llittle bit more lowered when the new suspension has ran in... maybe after a few weeks driving I'll have iot back to the tuning shop to re-ajust the height anyway...

[/quote] What size wheels are on there now? 18's ? what kinda offsets do those cars usually run?
Im not sure where you are from and am asking b/c your car is right hand drive and i noticed the acura emblems. did they come that way or did you change it out? I love the drop but im not feeling the wheels. Oh and I love legends. I have yet to see legend coupes here on the board. Anybody seen any in the photo gallery??
zion_97: They are 18's 42 offset and I'm now running 215/35/18 tyres. But normally I need to get some 48 offset rims if I want to use 225/40/18 tyres TLontheDl: I'm from Hong Kong and the car come with right hand drive. In our country, the Honda dealer also sell Acura so it is a real acura. ^^ I haven't seen any coupe here also but my mate just bought one full standard (including the audio) and I'm now convincing him to get some new wheels... ;D Hope I can get some coupe pics up soon...

[/quote] Cool bro I think it looks good like that anyay. I would like to see it lower..Keep us posted.
I love the wheels, very fresh, the drop sets them off even better! Have you considered a subtle aero?
Sure I'll get you guys updated 8) aero... That's what I've always been thinking... I wish to lower it down more but when I take a look under the car... the exhaust pipe is designed to stay very low... if I lower it more I really have no idea if it's gonna be okay to run in bad road condition like Hong Kong. The other option will be a little front lip or a small body kit but I can't find anything here in Hong Kong. What do you guys think? Do you guys know where I can find small front lips or small body kits?
Well, how easy is it for you to get japanese parts from hk? is shipping cost any bad?
Go lower!!! I know your road situation is but it wont look good until its slammed in my opinion. Definaltely 10x (Stance always makes a difference!!!) better if your tires are tucked through the fenders. Keep us posted! Herb
Shipping cost is about the same as shipping parts from Jap to US... kinda costly considering the distance... and for those body kits I saw over there are alway too BIG! There's no way I can use them without breaking them in Hong Kong... I went a little lower last week... but... *sign*... I have to strach the lower exhaust pipe everytime I go on to the next level in a multi-level parking area.... and I have to strach it even when I go thru some higher pump. :'( so too bad i have to set it back higher... :( anyway... just got a clear signal light put on and the caliper painted.... :P
I LOVE Legends! yours looks nice!! Ive got one and I used to have a G2 coupe 8)
Very nice job! I like the wheel choice for a fwd car. Perhaps some small spacer would make it even more aggressive.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions~ DriftGirl: What have your done to your Legend and your G2 Coupe? Got any pics? Is the Soarer yours also? AME_VIP: I believe I cannot pull the rim out anymore without some major work done to the fender and camber and of course the tyres also... really want my legend to look like one of them found in "VIPCAR" but too much works and $$$ involved man.... :buck2:
Nice legend you have there. I like the wheels. I recon that a nice stretch tyre would make the flat faced wheel look even better ;) For a minute i thought it was a uk car, as here in uk we have the same number plate style. Wjite at front and yellow at back. Oh and double deck buses ;) I recon if you are gonna have this as a car that you spend all your hard earnt cash at, then i would find a airide kit. You can juice a car in europe quite cheap, and fitting could almost be completed and set up in a weekend. 8) Keep us updated
;D I'm also thinking about using other tyre size the next time I have to replace them... Sorry to be stubid but how does a airide kit helps? (if that is the airide kit for use mostly in trucks, tell me if I'm wrong~) Have they made one for legend?
Oh I forgot to put the pic of the newly installed pod air filter and white face dash kit ;D
Nice engine bay! Very clean! ;) Yes you are right, they do use air bags on trucks as it makes a super smooth ride and can lower and raise your car. You can literally have the car sitting on the floor ;) Most vip show cars have this setup. 8)
so uh, is your car RWD? the motor looks weird mounted like that in a RWD style if it isnt.

Im not 100% on what you need for the legend. But i know that there are kits out there for a universal fit, as my freind put airide on his vw caddy van, and they dont make the air kit for his van. ;) I would do a bit more research on the subject as i dont know lots about it :)
