JDM/EDM Headlight conversion -- February 2005 - (still in progress)

Wed, 02 May 2007 10:29:12 -0400

I decided to convert my headlights from the stock USDM lights to the JDM/EDM headlights. This requires a re-wiring of the headlight system so that they work to to JDM/EDM spec.

This is still a work in progress. I will have details on the USDM->JDM wiring conversion.

Finally home at our new home.

After sitting in a garage for 1+ years I finally brought the Legend to our new home.

This album contains pictures of all the mods I did in the order I did them from when I started the car. There are pictures of the modifications on the car and the process of which I installed them. I did all my own work and took pictures along the way.

Non-Stainless Steel exhaust refinishing -- March 2004

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 08:54:38 -0500

My Stromung exhuast is going on four years old and has been the victim of rust. This exhaust is great and I don't want to lose it to rust. So I decided pull it off my Legend, clean it up, repair it and paint it. The finished result was as good as new!

Engine Rebuild - July - November 2002

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 10:57:03 -0400

I blew another headgasket. This time I have a backup car to drive so I can take my time and do some heavy performance modifications. I am having custom headwork done, grabbing cams and intake valves from a Type II engine for a 30hp boost along with a more agressive porting and polishing, possibly getting the exaust manifolds sent to Extrude Hone due to lack of header availability, dropping on a Type II intake manifold and custom metal headgaskets are being made for me by KMS to assure that I will never blow another headgasket in this car again.

Dissassembly of a Legend c32a engine

Wed, 17 Jul 2002 12:33:11 -0400

This engine was neglected of oil and was destroyed because of that. So I managed to get my hands on it as a small project to dissasemble and play with.

Seized Cam

Tue, 18 Jun 2002 23:05:34 -0400

Lack of oil seizes the cam to the head and the cam gets split in half.

May 2002 - Window Tint

Tue, 21 May 2002 19:52:53 -0400

Got my windows tinted, 35% all around today. Had to snap some quick shots and post them. My car is dirty in these pictures, oh well.

January 2002 - Updated Grill

Sun, 24 Mar 2002 02:28:36 -0500

I painted the front grill wire mesh; it was heavily tarnished from the weather. It was a warm day in January so I decided to wash and take some pictures. These pictures are from a cheap digital camera. I took better ones on film that will be along in the future.

May 2000 - Engine rebuild due to headgasket failure

Sun, 10 Feb 2002 17:25:17 -0500

In May of 2000 my father and I rebuilt the top-end of my engine when the headgasket blew. While I was at it I ported and polished the intake manifold and intake and exaust ports of each head. I wish I took more pictures.

November 2001 - B&M Transmission Cooler

Sun, 10 Feb 2002 13:32:34 -0500

Due to the torque converter the transmission was running extremely hot after some hard driving. I installed a B&M 6"x11"x1.75" B&M transmission cooler. At the same time I replaced the radiator as the other one sprung a leak.

August 2001 - Level 10 Auto Tranny kit and Pro-Torque High Stall Torque Converter

Tue, 15 Jan 2002 23:13:25 -0500

In July of 2001 I blew out second gear on my auto tranny. I drove around without second gear until I decided on what I was going to do. In August I puchased a Level 10 tranny rebuild kit and a high-stall torque converter. This is the only work on the car that I did not do myself. I dared not delve into the black magic of automatic transmissions. If this auto gives me any more trouble in the future a manual swap may be in order :p
