Nothing.
This car is great. Maintenance may be high but in the end you have a car that runs for ever. It has had the 60k and 90k mile services and regular oil changes and brake pads. Nothing major has gone wrong, the body is rust free and still looks brand new.
By driving it you can't tell it is 8 years old, it is faster than most of the V8s on the road. This is one of the greatest cars on the road.
What V8's do you mean? I understand you may like your car and it has power... but now come on... more power than most V8's? You may take off faster than a V8 truck... but not a real V8 car. Take a Trans Am for instance... one of my favorite cars for its price. My Trans Am can get 0-60 in 4.7 seconds right now. My friend's GT can get it in 5.5 and I've heard Z28's get 5.1 or 5.2, but I don't know.
You are talking about a sports car - the Trans-am is designed to run - but the Legend (being a luxury/family car) has power - with some minor alterations my Legend (1991 L) goes from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds..
Weapon R intake ($89.00)
Cat-back exaust system double pipe ($130.00)
DC-Sports Headers ($375)
I bought my Legend recently (2002) it has 94,566 miles - bought it for $5,400 and invested just about $600 in alterations to the engine and body - it has leather seats. This car is the best car I have ever had - Street racing has become very popular here in Phoenix AZ lately - and I can honestly tell you that all of those Euro-style and domestic "fixed up" vehicles do not intimidate me in my Acura Legend. I also own a Honda Accord LX - great car - but there is no comparison - only problems I have encountered are: cigarette lighter, driver's side power window - and power trunk release button - other than that... I am happy with my Legend.
Dc sports doesn't make headers for legends...
There is no such thing of a "DC headers" for your Legend. Acura Legends don't have aftermarket headers. Get your act straight and stop lying.
DC-Sports headers for the Acura Legend?!!! Where did you find them? I know of a lot of people who would love to purchase headers for their Legend, but the part seemed to be a myth. Some are looking into custom fabrication of headers, but the cost for these will be high.
And at that, your's are from a reputable manufacturer! Please reveal where you purchased these!!! There are dozens of Legend owners that are dying to get there hands on this part!
My 1992 Acura Legend Has A Ingen Cool air intake new exaust system, nos and much more it has 295 Hp 0-60 in 5.3 now tell me what 3,350 lb car can beat that (none) it will crush any mustang, or Grand am.
So are the headers for the Legends or what? If so
I would really like to buy some? I have looked all over the net an can't find them any where.
There is no way you can buy headers for the legend. They just don't make them. I had my friend's dad make me custom headers for my 92 legend. He also made me a custom straight pipe and dual exhaust (there is no cat on it at all, it's not street legal, but I still drive it like it is). I have a K&N intake that I bought from e-bay (got a great deal on it only $84). Got a custom T4 turbo put in with inter cooler, 2 NOS bottles, valve timing, new cams and gears, and whole new computer. The last time I took it out on the track it went from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and the quarter in 11.3 seconds at 129 mph. I burned my friends brand new BMW M5 with it. Find me a mustang, comaro, or firebird that will do that.
There has been a theory that dcsports or comptech headers for the v6 accord will fit the same engine block. but who knows... until its been done. you can always customize it to make it fit or just totally custom headers. and to all the legend performance fanatics, strip weight from your car, you can take out 500lbs just from sunroof, heated seats, mirrors, tcs, climate control... and you will own any import or domestic or european with some mods.
I want to know if I can get the custom headers that you girlfrieds dad made you, how much would he charge. I have never taken my car to the track, I have a Type II motor, automatic with just a the $84 intake, how fast do you think I can hit the quarter mile.
I am a custom fabricator and owner of a speed and custom shop in Northern Ca. I am considering fabricating stainless headers for a 91 Legend coupe I have in my shop. If anybody is interested in headers please contact me at dmyoung60@hotmail.com. These are going to be full length with 3/8 flanges so far. The tube diameter and tube length is still to be determined. Of course they will not be C.A.R.B. approved, but they will fit. Price will depend on how many orders I get. I will require half deposit before fabrication begins.
Thanks
Michael.
So about the headers I have looked every where and talked to everyone, it has to be custom. I would like to know how my man with the turbo nade all that work or are you just talking a good game.
A stock 2001 4.6L 5spd Mustang does 0-60 in 5.4, and more importantly hits the 1/4 mile in only 14 seconds@100 (car-stats.com) and a Stock 93 legend 6spd does 0-60 7.5, 1/4=15.9 (Motor Trend June 1993). How can a legend, even highly modded go 0-60 in 4.3 and 11.3. ("The last time I took it out on the track it went from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds") That can't be true since my 414hp (At the wheels) supercharged 01' mustang can hit at best a 12.3 or 12.2 1/4 mile and 0-60 about 4.6 /with drag rad tyres. It takes about 25-30 hp to reduce your 1/4 mile by 0.1 second (Stangnet.com). Lets do the math 15.9-11.3=4.6, 4.6*30hp=136hp more at the wheels is needed, in a FWD card the wheel spin would be too much, just look at the new Comptech 390hp Cl-S, it's is only a little faster then the normal Cl-s. What liars your guy are!
You are comparing a Mustang (sports car) to a Legend (family sedan). That is the first problem first off. Second, check out the years. 2001 compared to a 1993? That's an 8 year difference. With all those years of difference, the Mustang only beat out the Legend by 2 seconds and you are bragging about that! I would think again. Oh, and by the way, when you get into a wreck with the Legend, you'll be more likely to survive. If you're looking for money savers, look at the insurance costs compared between the 2. There is no question that the Legend is on top in every field.
Your 92 legend can't beat my 5.0 mustang you saying it can beat any mustang. not some jap car with nos and and only 295 hp or what ever.
