For Strut Bar, don't forget the Prelude 97-01 strut fits the legend with some "flexing" of the bracket... and it's only about $20 for those of us on a budget hehe.

tried the rear tower brace, no room. the top of the struts are under the rear speakers.

lower tie bar is possible, there was one from dc sports back in the day, but i dont think they make one anymore, but Fut is working one a one off of the dc sports one.

peace

Adjustable fuel pressure regulator (Universal kits... AEM.. etc.)

Use thicker guage wire running from battery to the fuel pump, and use the existing wire to trigger the relay. Current wire probably runs 11-12volts, but if you use thicker gauge wire straight from the battery, it may yeild 13-14.4volts, but will need to use the existing wires to trigger the relay.

More volts to the pump = works faster = more pressure.

You also forgot Clutchmasters as a clutch upgrade. Although you wouldn't see a Stage III application for a Legend in their catalogue, you can custom order it like I did.

Engine internals:

C-series interchangability (RL, NSX, TL, etc.):

(These are generic questions for the list, I already know most of what's out there and what forum members have discovered.)
It would be good to clarify this, and add it to the list.

no chance any CL of any year has shared internals with a Legend as the first CL 3.0 was J30 and the new one is J32.

anyone with CL pistons is dreamin.
