I got a 88 Legend a few months back, I live in the UK so we have incredibly expensive insurance here so I'll be saving for a while yet.
The tappits in the Legend are making a real loud noise which is a problem with all the ones I've seen so far, is there any stuff you can get that actually works to soften the noise? My friend who co-owns the car got some oil a while back but it made no difference at all.
Also I'd really like to lower the car, is it possible to do this yourself with pretty basic mechanical skills or do you need to get it done and if so how much is it likely to cost? Also I've scraped the exhaust under the engine a few times going over speed bumps causing it to dent (what a dumb place to put the exhaust pipe) so perhaps I shouldn't? I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have similar concerns or advice about the G1 Legend.....cheers!
One final thing - would it cost a bomb to get the engine totally reconditioned?
