If it does, a simple cleaning of the lift sensor might help out...if not...well...we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it

yeah allready cleared it and it came back

but were is the lift sensor located ?

w00t so if it dont pass i can like go back and make him pay for what it needs?

~The vehicle was registered and biennial smog certification was submitted to the DMV within 90 days before the date the title transfer took place. A vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification.

if he wants to hear it meaner, call up the DMV and ANY operator would be glad to yell at them I'm sure

+1, i almost got a 90 accord for 500 dollars on the ebay, but the owner would not smog it. plus, the guy was selling way too many cars to not be a dealer, so we didnt turn him in for a positive feedback.

which reminds me, i need to smog my car

but on topic, welcome to the forums, and tehachapi is kinda out off the way, but a nice little town.

good luck with the car

l4zy415 · 07-10-08, 01:06 AM

Holy crap, you didn't say anything about the rear quarter panel caved in. Are you gonna fix it or just leave it alone? But she looks like a keeper though.

LSATYD · 07-10-08, 01:13 AM

I know that feeling when I bought the Legend lol. Can't wait to see it fixed up.

Welcome!
I've seen worse. There should be a good condition bumper and grille out there somewhere. How'd that thing pass safety inspection with that windshield? Wait, does CA have safety inspections?

Anyway, a 5-speed and a new clutch, that should keep you happy enough while you work on the cosmetics.

Jay P · 07-10-08, 05:50 AM

Hi, welcome, this is a great forum and an 88 legend is a great car when all is well, sorry I'm pissy as mine is misbehaving at present.

It is great fun to let the civics get the jump on me before I zip past as they try to race off a light, tromping on the gas while merging onto a highway is also quite excellent.

As for ugly bodywork & paint, well, that's what keeps mine from being stolen!

As for repairing, be warned, legends are tight and complicated, buy the acura books and you'll be ahead.

cheers, Jay
