I think one of these will be my next project in a few years , If I can find one of course.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted April 16, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was looking at it a short while ago. Seems like there is a nasty electrical fault somewhere on it though so i'd say the price is a bit high. Also was the C32 in the Legend a VTEC??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted April 16, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 It's a beauty, going back to how well adverts are written too, this is a great advert....you can tell by the wording and the pics that the guy loves it as he enthusiatically describes everything and the pics are good. Nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted April 16, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yup agreed on the advert but a car dealer would strongly disagree but depends who you aiming at so I try a mixture and the ones with least info do generate more interest as result in my experience but i can't help it packing an add either and don't forget I've put a topic up on this buddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted April 16, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I know what you mean Rich. I popped into the bookies earlier to put my Irish bet on and I noticed again how long our coupes are, they're really quite long. They also look classy even almost 20 years later they look mean and purposeful, if you know what I mean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted April 17, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 If the traction has been switched off, it's likely it's causing problems with the ABS as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted April 18, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 This model is renowned for its handling capability's (SH-AWD) , so lowering and fitting bigger an wider wheels would only compromise it if the system was switched off in my opinion and your spot on with ABS as well Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted April 18, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I understand people going for an individual look but compromising the vehicles intrinsic handling and safety features should be more of a consideration when doing it. Let's face it, that model Legend isn't parked on every street corner so is already a very individual car and to be honest, it doesn't need "chavving up" to have road presence. Fine, change the wheels if the factory ones aren't to taste but keep within the size limits. With something like a Civic without traction control, the options are much more open. It's also the sort of car more widely available because it doesn't cost anywhere near as much so making it more individual can be down to personal taste and is less likely to be classed as "chavvy" for the simple reason that so many different aftermarket bits exist for the Civic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted May 3, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 That's a lovely Legend, you can tell it's been looked after, just look at the interior and engine bay. I do like the three dial dashboard much like the ones in my 6th Gen Accords....Nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted May 3, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I bet it's long overdue an ATF change and been serviced on mileage covered rather than the recommended 6 monthly oil changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
