Acura Legend at an open track day

[Vic Cardenas]

I thought I'd share this with my car cousins (or are you my brothers?) on this forum as I frequent here almost as often as my "home forum". Plus, I think there's alot of motorsports enthusiasts here that will enjoy this.

This was my first track day. I've done some other track stuff but not as intensive as this.

This is at Miller Motorsports Park's East track. Shot with a Go-Pro 960, watch it in 720p HD!

Enjoy...

Nice. I have a 93 Coupe with the type 2 motor and 6 speed. Wish I had more time and money to fix her up.

wow, how do ou keep your trans from blowing up? I had a 94 legend GS sedan auto that had over 220k on it. the trans shifted very firm but no slip. I always wondered when it would let me down. felt like it was dying, but never did. it was the most problematic honda Ive ever had.

Love it. Fun vids to watch. Of all of our past cars, our Legend coupe is one car that I wish that we'd have kept. Thanks for sharing!

Great videos Vic. I am also an Acura-Legend forum member I have a '93 4 Door LS with lots of mods. In some ways its more impressive than my NSX. I need to log back into the Legend forum and check out some new projects. I am JonnyBlaze on that forum.

+1 - I too wish I had kept my 95 Legend Coupe Type 2....low miles, all white, perfect shape...absolutely gorgeous car...sold it to buy my first TL back in 1999

Glad you liked it.

Honestly, I haven't spent much money on the car at all. I count about $5k in mods and that's counting all the piddly, non-performance crap. Add in the purchase price of $3,500 (4 years ago) and I'm only racing about $8,500 worth (to me) of car you see in the videos.

You should join up on acuralegend.org, Nukem. We'd point you in the right direction. I'd love to see pics of your coupe too! We all love a nice, rare 6-speed on "the org".

I'm not sure! :biggrin: I'd love to do a 3.5 with a 5-speed swap soon. I really can't hang on the track with the A/T. Soon!

Sorry to hear about your Legend being unreliable. It seems to be hit-or-miss with them. Most people love them and have few problems. But, a few Legends just seem to have endless problems.

You're welcome!

Yeah, I remember you! Didn't know you had an NSX. I don't know if you joined .org after we all had an "exodus" but you should pop in and say hi.

Sounds like a it was nice coupe, that's a shame. TL's are nice but IMO they lack the soul of a Legend.

Funny I stumbled upon this thread, as tommorow is the NALM meet here at our dealership. 40 Legend's are supposed to be here for a BBQ and meet/greet.

Oh sweet, you work at that dealership? Last year it was me and a friend who hosted NALM here in salt lake. Good times were had by all!

This is from my second session of the day.
