Hey rayb3na_ how big are you wheels and is it lowerd?
shes on 18s and hasnt been dropped yet.
Nice. What offset are on them? I am planning to get wheels and lowering it also too.
they're machined to be a +43ish offset, even though the legend is meant to have a +55 offset, i have no problems with rub yet.. im looking into bolt-on coilovers or airbags soon!
Hi, Im a newly 94 legend coupe owner. So far a great car.
welcome! ah the KA8.. if only the KA9 came in a coupe variant :)
To any & all legend KA8 owners, has anyone had any problems at all with this engine? I've been told they can suffer from over heating & electrical issues. If thats true I hope it never happens to mine.

Also thought I'd post some pics of my gorgeous coupe. (well, I think its gorgeous) Enjoy & feel free to comment.:D
Totally standard at this stage. Apart from some sort of upgrade chip it had in it when I bought it. At least thats what I was told.
clean legend man! the interior looks pretty immac! congrats on joining the legend club haha
about your earlier post, the C-series engines are pretty reliable, although electrics and overheating may become a problem over time.. for example i just replaced my thermostat.. it shouldn't happen very often.. mine's been pretty reliable! you shouldn't have to many problems if you're a responsible driver and car owner :)
Just wondering if any 1997 KA9 owners out there has had the same experience. After i drive the car doesnt matter how far or how long. When i leave it parked for about 1hr to 2hrs or so, i go to start it and its cranks over longer than usual aprox 20secs+, like the fuel pump isnt primed, then eventully it starts. I have tried priming it first it made no difference. But in the mornings, when dead cold it starts normal, kicks over straight away with no hesitation. Cars got 144,000kms on it. I have tried replacing the fuel filter, decarbinising the intake manifold and valves, used a on car fuel injector clean.
Thanks.
well i duno about the 'starting when dead cold but not starting after a drive' thing.. but my fuel pump gave up on me after 120,000kms, and the car wouldn't start most of the time, then i replaced the fuel pump with a bosch, and no problems since.
Might give that a go. Also my ABS pumps buzzes everytime on start up, and sometimes while driving. Does yours do that too?
I dont have any other KA9's t o compare with.
Thanks.
yeah mine does that too at times.. doesnt bother me though
damn man, im jealous!Quote:

While it is a very common problem for the insulation to melt on the cam sensor it doesn't affect operation.
Good to see a few more Legend enthusiasts getting about. I forget about this forum, acuralegend.org is where it's at if you're a Legend enthusiast :thumbsup:
Anyone else sporting a turbo Legend?
Yeh good to see some more legend people around. Any from adelaide :D ???
Hi all, wondering if anyone out there can help. I got into my beautiful legend coupe this morning to find the park brake light is coming back on & staying on a few seconds after I've dis-engaged it, plus the abs light is coming on a few seconds after this happens. Anyone know why or how to fix it?
Is your brake fluid low? The hand brake light is also an indication of low brake fluid.
whats with everyone wanting mud flaps, something special about them??
Turned out to be a blown tail light globe. Lol. Gotta love my legend.
i own a 07 KB1 in black. Havent had time to do anything to it yet. Need to source some suspension and wheels. Thinking black on black
I'll check it out, thanks.
Hi I have recently acquired a 91 Legend Sedan. e

P.S. Sorry everyone I have started a new dedicated thread as I believe nobody reads through the 17 pages here like i did. please find my thread under "NEW LEGEND (OWNER) and post replies there. thank you for your time. Ovidox
Man, I've just fitted a double DIN dvd unit into my 1999 dash with a perfect-fit fascia from a japanese company. I paid about $175 for the fascia and the wiring harness that allowed me to use my existing speaker wires (lots of them) with the Honda factory proprietary male/female plug. The result was great. There seems to be various double DIN standard sizes. The fascia I used worked with 178mm x 100 apperture.Quote:

I ended up making mine from mdf. Took me about half a day to make it. Not 100% perfect fit look but i'm happy, i'm currently making a second one since i have the left over mdf. Head over to Legend Forum if you want to meet more legend owner mainly from the USA. "Travis_Gib0" is also a member there and i'm sure a few other here that i'm not aware.

Also, if you haven't already you should come and join www.acuralegend.org heaps of Legend enthusiasts and a few Aussies these days as well.
Hello all, I was wondering if there are any current shape Legend owners on here from Sydney?
If so, could you PM me please
KA9 owner here. wish i could get the JDM spec, but the oz delivered models will have to do for now.
been a while since I have posted in here haha...
Reclining + heated rear seats.. Tbh, only just got it back up and running, and unfortunately, nothing new just yet.Quote:

sadly my KA9 has no rear reclining/heated seats.
the legends here was effectively an accord on steroids. reading the owner's manual is pretty depressing knowing how much things we dont get.
Anyone ever dyno a kb1 legend? Would the sh-awd cause any problem and result in an inaccurate read out.
Ill take badassery over a sunroof :PQuote:

Anyone update their gps navigation lately? Rang Honda dealer and they said they don't do them anymore. Are they different from Accord navigation DVD?
Few months late but... It's the same dvd that's used in the accord euro's and older CRV's. The newer Honda's all update via USB.
