This is one of the sickest Legends I've seen.

Mad props, I miss mine so much every time I see people spending money on their's :)

thing is, i haven't spent too much money on mine aside from the carPC and the intake. the rest is just a lot of elbow grease and the TLC this car deserves.

next on my list is to flush the coolant. i'm a little over on the 30k maintenance and i am going to baby this thing for the rest of its life. No BHG for me! should i do the flush myself or should i pay for it to be done? i live at an apartment but have access to my parents garage/driveway.

Can't wait for the final install. I'm sure it will have a very OEM look.
Suggest you flush the system yourself... very easy! Shortcut: unplug the coolant hose next to the oil drain bolt, you can drain 100% of the system from it.

The flush is REALLY easy, and it gives you an excuse to drive it around after each flush :)

That carPC interface you made up turned out really awesome. Glad you got it installed relatively easily too.

I'm in awe.

I love my new i35, but there's nothing to do to it! Atleast the Legend had some really nice mods you could do, but the i35 has so many features already-not much left to do.

I miss my Leggy :(

ok so i drain it through that... where do i dispose of this stuff at? and what coolant should i fill it back up with? and after i drain, plug, then refill... i drive around correct? then come back and drain it, plug, then refill again? i could have sworn i saw a diy on here somewhere.. i'm gonna go look for it.

u can dispose it at autozone or advance auto parts or pep boys or orielly's.

any local garage should be able to accomodate u.

i would recommend rad fluid that is listed in ur owners manual.

thank you for your help! i might do this today if weather permits! would it be ok if i just drained it all, plugged it, then refilled it? or would this still pose risk of a BHG.

thats basically a drain/refill service u get at the dealer.

remember to let the engine cool off completely before draining and refilling.

i can get pics up today after class of it just sitting in there. it seems that the bezel/housing i have is smaller in width in comparison to the ol' legend center console. so i'm gonna have to go buy a piece of ABS plastic to clean it up. and i still have to fit it in there correctly. i'm not quite getting the angle i want. plus its like 20F outiside... sigh... gotta go down to my parents' garage i guess..
