Legend Fact Book @ honda.co.jp (DETAILED!)

lololol i coulnt agree with you more shaar esp the post count. some ppl on here I beleive think they are superior to others because of their post count.I HAVE NOT SINGLED ANYONE OUT. so dont jump to conclusion who ever reads this.

Shaar, thanks for posting this info. They are plenty of new owners (self included) who have not seen this.

Thanks Shaar, I've owned Legends since 1987 and lurked since legend.org days and this was the first time I've seen that site. Had a great time browsing the site, even moreso because I can read a little of the Japanese on the site that's not translated.

excellent! i wish someone would have found this back when i owned a 5th gen accord. this would have been a real nice read! its a good read on all the years of the legend for sure!

Its not hill descent, or ascent.

just because it wont shift out of gear going 10mph, doesnt mean there is a specifically made "hill ascent" action taking place in the computer.

because thats what the systems do today. they limit you to like 3-5mph, no matter how much you throttle the car.

i can't read japanese, i can just go off what the website is translating for me, but from what i can tell, the computer is definitely changing gears based on what the car is doing, i.e it can tell you'e going downhill, so will drop a gear for you.
either way, systems may do that today, but we're talking about systems from over a decade ago

i'm impressed w it

what is that?

Excellent post. The outside temperature sensor is awesome and many other things too.

Shaar, I would have to say that was thee most informative spec thread I've seen about a car, granted the "JDM options" was second most. Heres a random option I saw that made no sense, what would this feature be? "Seat back side seat slide switch"

Directed towards the "I'm better" crowd: I totally agree with Jaynise and Shaar, the amount of posts obviously does'nt always corelate with their intelligence, test someone...

this lets the rear seats (sedan only i believe) slide forward a bit while the back portion of the seat reclines back a bit. this is an amazing feature that i wish i had in my coupe.

theres another option that i'm trying to figure out. in between the heated seats controls in the front, there is a button that says something like 'dual a/c' i think. i dont know what this is. it might be the master control for the rear climate controls in the arm rest? i'll get a better look at the thing when my console arrives hopefully wednesday or thursday via DHL.

I originaly thought they were talking about the switch on the passenger side of our 2dr so the rear passenger could ajust the front seat for clearance. But if it was for the sedan than thats sick. Power rear seats.

Yeah, that is a good site, I've been there several times, and there is info on the G1 too.
I guess I should have posted on it when I found it years ago, but I guess I thought most people had seen it.

Balance shaft used in the 3.5. Reduces engine vibration. Consumes a few hp due to the added drag. I'd probably remove the belt to disable it and retain the hp. Sorry for the O/T post.

im surprised nobody noticed the fact that anytime you let off the throttle you get engine braking..

it's in the way the transmission is designed with the one way clutches and in the programming...

also above 1200rpm 1000rpm manual, the injector pulsewidth is reduced to about nothing to save fuel while decelerating, hence the transmission needing to keep the engine spinning and you get "decent control"

something like a Jake Brake on big diesels.

thats is funny, i was just watching trucks! on spikeTv this morning and they did a thing on jake brakes on a semi

I second that.

The whole "decent control" thing sounds like a marketing ploy to me. Kinda like rating cars HP by the flywheel. Looks good on paper.

In some cars when in the OD position it will actually coast when the driver is off the accelerator in 3rd or 4th. Everything else it will engine brake. Just like you said, its all in the programming.
