I LOVE YOUR CAR!! It looks so good. You've put so much work into it and I'm glad to have you in a magazine representing the G1 legends which no one really knows about. Your whole car looks so nice, I love all the chrome in the engine. I like the exterior (so clean) and I like the gauges in the interior. Congrats on the photo shoot. YOUR CAR IS MY CAR'S IDOL!

Looks great. I think your project is really impressive, it's not easy to do a custom turbo install along with all the tuning etc needed to get it running smoothly. The HP/TQ curves look real nice. Great job man.

You sir are an inspiration to all of us who have been told to stop putting money into older cars. Screw those people, if I don�t want a new car there is nothing wrong with improving a solid car like the G1 or G2 over new letter based models! Congratulations and never stop working on your G1 until you want to! By the way love the car and the concept.
- dvp

That is one of the most beautiful cars that I have seen. Many props to you on your acomplishment! Keep it up and you might inspire someone to TC their Legend!
-phantom15t

YESSSS. I posted you having a Shoot with them a while back for all of Acura Legend to know. I'm about to open the link I just wanted to congradulate you first. You can BELIEVE everybody is gonna hear about this from me. All those haters of the legend are gonna be pickin' their faces up after this. Congrats!!!!
-Bang&Olufsen DK, Moderador

Goldrush you are my hero man! Hopefully this publicity will get some companies to start making parts for the G1 Legends.
-LegendRacer77

1989~TLC You are really a roadmodel for all G1 FANS. You make me want to keep my legend for life. More moding man!!!! I just love it. THE BEST G1 IN THE PERFORMANCE ARENA. All of us I hope will support the man by picking up a issue or 2 of his CAR. I will! History in the making!
-TALRUDEBOY

Dude that is one sweet legend! My new dream car!
-Texan1983

HEY 89~TLC!!!!!!!!!!!! Whats up playa? All I can give you is MAD PROPS times 2. It takes lots of guts to do what you did. I am glad someone has laid down the foundation for the rest of us G1 owners. I have been saying this to people in just about every state I go in. Legends, no matter if they are G1s or G2s are nothing to play with and they have the potential to be more than what everybody thinks. Now that the foundation has been laid I would not be surprised if many people follow in your footsteps ( I know I plan too ). With another chapter opening up for Legends maybe the aftermarket world will start to recognize these cars for what they really are, performance machines. Also tell your wife that everyman on the planet says THANKS. Its not often to have a woman put up with a man who has his sights set on modifying what they call just a car. Again congrats and alot more shoots are on the way for you and TLC. Peace and Blessings. Bigs out.
-Mr. Bigs

That's a tight ass ride!! Keep it up!
-enigma

So when are we going to get to see a video from inside the monster? I want to see this car haul. Great work man, you have accomplised one of my goals in life, now its my turn.
-pyros88legendcoupe

Congrats man...looks sick, inside, out, and under the hood.
-smoovie--smoov

Your Car looks great!! I like everything about it... Your car is what I want my car to be. You the man!!!
-Esti

Hey man, great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see you on the magz, u know me and my boys gonna get that. Finally legend recognized. Congrats and good luck.
-hass

First off, I want to say that I have dreamed about turning my G1 into a car as nice as yours. And like dvp said, there is absoutely nothing wrong with upgrading older cars. After I finish grad school and start working full time, I plan on doing upgrades to both of my Legends. After 8 years, you still can't find a car with as many amenities as the Legend w/a 6-speed! Big ups to all G1 owners still caring for their cars. I must say that I have as much love for my G1 as my G2. Afterall, it was my first car and the sportiness of the drive never gets old. Anywayz, much praise for your car man. Awesome!
-arizonaron

Awesome ride man! The whole car looks perfect! I am a huge fan of G1s and I have to say that is the cleanest and most bad ass one I have seen yet! When is it going to be in the magazine, I want to scoop the issue for sure. Keep representing the G1s!!!
-Chuck-Hu$tle

I'd especially like to thank Robert Ansick of FORCED AIR TECHNOLOGIES for boldly going where no man had before- designing a custom turbo for my G1 Legend. When everyone else said it couldn't be done-- Robert said "I can"... and he did!
