Legend Bag It Or Kit It?

k question for all you guys, some of you guys have seen my car. Seeing as tax return time is coming ima have some cash. My car is getting old and proberly dont want to do both (10k on an old car is getting bit huge, unless im intending to keep this car for a lil longer) Do i bag it (round 4.5k) or do i get the aimgain kit from japan (5k landed not sprayed)

oh n when i kit it ill just compress the springs, not kitting it and leaving it that hi lol

Bag It!

bag it.

definately bag it. kit becomes unecessary when you're riding cm's from the ground anyway.

k the owner of cali customz is goin overseas, who else does bags in the melbourne area?

bag it

bag it.

pm "atjo" for airbags - he can get air runner suspension from japan.

however u ahve to ask him who can install it for you - one of his customers got a workshop to install it, maybe atjo (dan) might be able to refer you onto that work shop.

I had Tein coilovers in my 1997 Legend. The same as Accord Euro bolt straight in. Dumped nice and handled good too.:thumbsup:I swapped the emblems for Acura ones front and rear. Trew the cops off thought it was a Lexus or something too:D The coilovers are cheap, and you can always raise it up again if you get dfected. Totally changed the car.

you sure they just bolt on? everyone in us says they fit, but with a fair bit of work. do you have ne pictures of your old legend you can post up? and any work you had to do to get the tiens fitting? sounds like ur car was almost like mine cept for coilovers lol

Bodykit, a car that low is just ridiculous. like a knuckle dragging ape.

bag it.
iamvtec, that's the point, for it to be massive low, and then you can raise it, with the flick of a switch, when needed.

kit it and dump it 1 inch

Bag It

Kits Suck Arse

After running into you at HondWreck and seeing your car.... BAG IT!!! :D :D

why not both? :D

but yeah dumping it with the rims you already have would look a treat

you are a fcuking idiot man.

with airbags he can have it miles off the ground too.

dumping a car is more than 1 inch, to whatever "Neanderthal" decided that dumping was lowering a car 1 inch.

I'd bag it, so you can get over speed humps.

i would bag it too.i wish i had a spare 5k to bag my accord lol

BAG it + bigger rims :p go up 21 ? 22 ? LOL

My point wasnt that he couldnt adjust the height with the bags.

it was that, why would any evolved human, want his car to be that low in the first place. It look like something out of an ape farm. Although most owners of low cars would have an IQ to match their ride height.

check the resemblence

we want it that low cause its insanely stupid and its fkn hot.. and we wanna bag it so we can be that stupid while getting over speedhumps with ease!

i say bag it!

p.s. with bags he can go higher than your 4wd so his IQ must be higher than yours?

that ape has the same IQ as him, if not higher.
lol
.

Lets just say you wont be finding any lowriders in the car park at Cambridge. Ok ?

And yes I have been there.


You dont see these lower cars in corporate car parks, you dont see these cars lower cars in Harvard I presume. These cars you see only see and associate with mcdonalds car parks. Who find these attractive except for wannabe gangsters, and other low caste of society like rappers from the ghetto.

meh I wouldn't call your haircuts anything aesthetically pleasing to the masses either.

you look like a wannabe host from Japan.

Lowriders in the carpark at Cambridge hahahahhahahahaha

Thats because everyone that goes there wears tweed vests and goes hunting with dear old daddy.

well hokay then.......yes the coilovers go in no sweat. I don't have pics of the old car but I think I have part numbers somewhere. If you want looks and super lo, go airbag. If you want handling and save 3k go coilover. I just did lip spoiler on boot. Color coded all plastics (dark green), limo tint, Mazda RX8 rims was nice. Acura badges are nice too.

You people really are hopeless, if you say even gangsters themself is moving to more discrete cars, why you want more flashy car, why you want to stand out like an ape among men.

These long cars with knuckle dragging suspension and king kong rims are maybe acceptable for a man who want to make a power statement. For a normal guy who just use this car to boost his own ego is idiot indeed.

I would put the coilovers and nice rims, not chrome ones. I live with a lowered Integra (1 coke can off the road) and hit things all the time, you can still lower a car nicely without the need for airbags, and save money to spend on other things. I am thinking of getting a Legend in a year or so and want it to look mean, but being a daily driver dont want it dragging its ape-y knuckles haha But its your car so do what you want, the only thing I wonder with airbags is how it keeps the alignment constant. Cheers Chris

sounds nice, did you install the coilovers yourself? all the people ive heard from in the us use the tsx suspension for there 3.5rl's but say they had to modify parts of it to get them to fit properly

get the 94 2 door version, kicks ass

Of course, you calling people idiots is a bit hypocritical. There is a variety of evidence to prove this point

1) ... rather... silly... questions...

my year? you dont c many worked around, ive only seen one of the series 2's done up here and it was just 18's and slightly lowered. C a few of the older legends tho

Bag it.

Or sell it and buy a new Accord or Euro, then pimp that :p

i bought the legend over the accord because noone really works them. And after crashing my s14a (which i spent about 40k on and only getting 6k from insurance company) i only had enough for a accord or legend. And i think unfortunaley euro's are becoming very common (as in you see soo many of them on the road now) even tho i think they are an amazing car, i like to be a lil different. just like why i bought a s14a instead of a s15

pimp pimp :D get the kit first maybe ? then the bag :p then that way you look diffrence than the rest :)

air bags will suit the KA9 nicely, do it.

Hey beayni85, I want you to know I've just bought a 99 Legend in pearl white and it is as straight as. You should also know that it now parks in the carpark of #2 Carrier in Sydney. You should bristle with self-actualisation when I tell you that I have been to Oxford (but not Cambridge) and you will chortle at the irony of my BEng (mech) and MBA.

Bag iamvtec.

ViP your Legend :D

Ahhh, probably not, but let me know if its any of Very Important Person, VTEC in Prang, Victoria in Power, Virtual IP (address), or, according to Wiki....VIP Style or Bippu refers to the modification of Japanese luxury automobiles to make them more fashionable and even more luxurious. VIP Style are typically large, expensive, rear-wheel drive sedans, though automotive enthusiasts use other cars like minivans and Kei cars. Once associated with the yakuza, VIP Style modifications now are a subset of automotive modification.

If it is this one, I guess I'm scraping the front of the car already and I don't dig the crab-like look of split rear axles hangin' out of plumb.

All aother things being equal they do look cool.

ViP Style is what I'm talking about :p

Thats what I'm talking about :p But you don't have to go weird with the wheels like that :)

sounds like perhaps you majored in literature aswell lol. how is the 99 treating you? I started off my bachelor in mechanical engineering with a double degree in physics, but decided to drop it and give commerce a try, which i then dropped because i got a position at computershare as project co-ordinator of payment and corporate services haha would like to go back and finish off my eng sometime soon, but im 21, got plenty of time.

p.s bought a house in richmond instead, seems like a better investment for the time being

nah im not in IT. Computershare, the worlds largest share registry. I do corporate take-overs and organise distributions and dividends on behalf of the clients. We do have an IT component, infact computershare is the company responsible for scrip's being electronic instead of the old hard-copy situation

Wait, now you're using people in the IT industry as an example of tasteful modifications? What would some computer nerds that lucked out during the technology boom know about class or fashion. The IT industry is by far the worst dressed of any industry and I have severe doubts about if any of the IT millionaires could put on a tshirt the right way forward. Obviously, I wouldn't expect too much of their automobile fashion choices either.

Computershare isnt IT mate.

The name is misleading. Everyone thinks that we're involved in IT...

haha you really are an idiot. Computershare is a share registry, infact it is the largest in the world, we look after 70% of Australias registry, 100% of Hong kongs, 60% of the US. Investor services which is where our money is made is resposible for corporate take-overs and processing dividends and distributions on behalf of listed and unlisted companies. IT component here is mainly needed for our processes. The reason the name is Computershare is as i described before, due to our responsibility for scrip's to be transferable online

and as for exxon mobil, you really are a stupid f*** it is one of the worlds largest corporations, and has litteraly nothing to do with IT. So if you are questioning the carpark of one of the worlds largest and profitable companies you really do need a reality check. Modification is an artform, and i am open to your critisism. But to your stupid comments about where VIP cars come from and the more US style of customization. May I ask where you work? Clearly you work for an insignicant corporation that are emotionless and dont seek pleasure in hobbies and prefer to be like everyone else rather than stand out and be an individual and have fun

did you get the $100 DJ gift voucher as a "thanks for record profits" bribe?

sure did, must be because im working for them now :p

i work mainly with macquarie bank, IAG and AMP requests :)
