Ends later today Dubb.

Lou, glad you found your inspiration! I would have liked to have checked out all the different Legends too. I've driven quite a few plus several of my own, always finding new things and learning new stuff about these cars has been a constant since I rode in my first Legend. Took me 4 years after that ride to get one of my own. I'm on number 4 now, and I haven't looked back since!

Updated some pics, I actually just went down today to clean up my work area since before I left shit was tossed all over.

so heres pics of my engine with the beginning of the carbon fiber covers "installed"
















In this next pic I forget does the 2 lines run from the tranny to radiator for tranny cooling or something like that? I plan on blocking them off......advice?


Stupid a/c lines that I HAVE to replace cause they were broken and hidden by previous owner... guess I'll have a perfect a/c system now





this is where it sits as of now, all I need shipped to me is a clutch *cough blackend cough* and I can then install the drivetrain and move my car again I'm just ready to see this moving again once I get some stuff sorted out.

Looking good!

Don't block off those tranny cooler lines, hook them up correctly.

Idk my radiator isn't oem or legend related so the lines won't work unless I hook up a aftermarket tranny cooler. Which I will have but the hoses don't. Seem to have a purpose

Hook up the aftermarket then. Acura put it there for a reason.
