hey man i know you work on the legends… just wonder if you know how to fix the abs light that comes up. i heard its common in these cars for some reason. the abs code im getting is one blink every couple seconds 3 times so im assuming its either “1” or “1-1-1” the forums say its a bad pump do you know if this is accurate cuz ive also heard fixing the pump doesnt work maybe a bad sensor? let me know if you know anything
@@milkinabag6941 In one case I just got a replacement (used) pump from a friend and it fixed it. But I’ve heard a few people having their pumps rebuilt by the guy on eBay
Videos about the 2nd gen RDX would be great, I always loved your channel, been following you since your silver ILX ! Keep it up !! I currently own a 2014 RDX, that car has been the most reliable car I ever had
Thanks, appreciate it!
do you know where i can get this manual transmission from? trying to build my own
Maybe find a Legend manual at a salvage yard
@@TysonHugie i checked all the states pick a part inventory sadly theres none :(
Such a chill and aesthetic vid, cinema level quallity for 2007 (for me), great job! Also that rear wing camera angle is getting popular on insta now xd. RIght now looking at this offer of an 96 mk4 2.2 Prelude (not sure if it has 4ws atm) and considering getting it isntead of my 318i e46 :D. Can you share if you had any problems with it or especially with the 4ws? Any advice or something to specifically look at when inspecting? And maybe your personal overall impressions about the car? P.S. When i first saw mk4 I thought it was kinda ugly, but now, couple days later I find it quite nice. Just me?
@@denbenten9576 thank you! Haha this vid is def a classic.
I like these, but they don't feel particularly special? They are nice cars, but they feel like a higher echelon Accord.
Thanks!
Glad to see it heading off to a good home!! In your brief ownership, what was your favorite part of driving the Prelude?
The gearbox!
I just love this car so much. Have to watch your video many times. Hope to own one someday.
Thank you!
I only seen around 3 of them during its entire production run.. ❤
Pretty rare!
@@TysonHugie yes definitely a Japanese brand unicorn.. 🦄
My gran has a 1989 model with 50,000 in great condition and looking to let it go
That sounds amazing! Maybe you can email me some photos and details
@@TysonHugie send me your email and I'll sort it out next week
I’ve owned a millennium silver 2003 IS300 manual since 2006. All leather with the LSD also. It’s my daily driver with 280k miles on it. Fun to drive and easy to maintain. Best car I have ever owned! Congratulations and enjoy!
Very nice! Thank you!
As a fellow GS 6-speed owner, I love to see that these cars are still getting the attention and treatment they deserve.
Means a lot, thank you!
What’s the mileage now?
I'll have to check with him! The car is currently on display at a local Acura dealership
Think he’ll let me drive it? 😜
He better!
Always wanted to drive one of these had a Lexus GS 350 very similar car. How is the torque steer and traction loss if you slam it off the line? My 2013 GS did a great job traction and handling wise I would think the FWD would hurt the RLX in that respect. If the transmission hasn't been serviced you should do that soon. Honda/Acura transmissions have not been without issues from what I know.
Thanks!
Are you trying to get back at me for buying a Legend matching yours? Who else do you know that owns a 1994 Legend LS Coupe 6spd in Rosewood Brown + 1994 F150 extra cab with a blue stripe? Looks like you are going to have to buy a 1994 Bronco to keep up.
Haha I forgot about that!
I think that Prelude went to a great guy who will really cherish it. 🤘
Thanks Rick!
Thank you! I love this car!
San Diego - get some heavy security installed on that Prelude!
It's in good hands! I'm sure he'll be careful with it
If it's coming from Tyson it's worth buying
Haha, thank you!
Hope to see you next week at Honda auto show in Torrance!
I won't be there this time, but Mike might go!
@@TysonHugie I'm not able to make it this weekend, but I will be at the Japanese Car Show at the Peterson, on September 1st. I'm bringing this car!
Incredible restoration ❤
Thanks Adam!
There are some people who have contacted me via KZread comments about being possibly interested in the car. I will be listing it for sale in the next month or two. I don't have your contact info, but these names are some of them that I jotted down. @darinsaunders6220 @kimberbell4238 @owequitit @terrykelly8982 - if any of you want this car, send me an email please. My address is listed on the "About" page of my channel. Thank you all.
Gotta love the bow!
Haha thanks, I'm all about the details
Tyson I’m ready to buy one of those legends if you decide to let one go. 👀 classic car auction or I can make an offer.
Yes I'm going to be selling the green 4-door 6-speed soon. Not sure how to contact you but my email address is on my channel "About" page on here. Thanks!
@@TysonHugie 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@TysonHugieokay just emailed your yahoo 😎
The 93 Preludes are rare, plus I think they are a little more raw than the 95 and 96 preludes. They are also a tad lighter. seems like the 88 thru 96 Honda products were the Best!
It was a great era
Congrats Mike! You got yourself a beautiful car!
Thanks Emir!
@@EmirMuhic thank you! It fits well with my 89 Prelude and my 91 CRX!
Beautiful car in great condition. That generation Prelude got a lot of hate back in the day ("they ruined the Prelude" was a common reaction) but it was a great car. It was the first time I remember Honda departing from their usual conservative styling, so of course many of the traditionalists were turned off. Nice to see it getting some love all these years later.
Agreed!
Such a beautiful car! Makes me want to get another one! Hands down, my favorite car ive ever owned. Tyson, i have a 1993 Car and Driver magazine my friend gave me years ago. It compares the VTEC Prelude to its competitors. If you would like to borrow it to copy it, let me know and we can work out the details.
That's awesome, I wonder if I've seen (or have a copy of) that. I will check!
❤
Thanks!
Hey, I know that car!
Looks familiar!
congratulations!
Thank you!!
I saw somewhere a video or pictures of a 1st gen Acura tsx concept car… would you happen to have any information on that you can share? I’ll try to provide a link if I come across it again.
Hmm, I don't remember that!
@@TysonHugie www.supercars.net/blog/2006-acura-tsx-spec-concept/ Would be cool to track this one down. Cheers
Looking for a 91 legend coupe 5speed with type2 116000km cobalt paint no rust in canada
@@MKhan-xx2yb You are looking, or you have one for sale? And is it a motor swap? Type II didn’t come until 1993
I want this. But I would put that many miles on it in a year. My 2017 HRV has 245k.
It definitely needs to get driven
A vehicle should be rated based on quality of parts and durability. Acuras are mediocre in quality and very expensive to maintain….comparable to Infiniti buys it’s no Lexus.
@@Thankyou_3 I don’t think this car has been expensive to maintain. Did you watch the whole video?
@@TysonHugie I am speaking out of the experiences we had in our shop for repairs when these Acura ages. They are not the same economical vehicles like the Integras.
I want this car in Ghana please 😊
@@andrews546 sure I’ll send it over
“Sorry Mom” 🤷🏻♂️😂😂
Haha yes
The RLX is amazing
@@ashrick718 agreed
Worked for a Honda dealership right out of highschool mid to late 2000s. Loved these manuals, easy, fun to drive. The V6 6spds were even more fun and rare as well! Very well kept example of a beautiful coupe here!
@@lexx5313 agreed, the driving experience is awesome! I’d love to try a 6-6 sometime.
Guys for goodness sakes if you buy this car or the sedan version GET YOUR BALL JOINTS REPLACED - I learned the hard way going 70. Almost crashed but luckily I was able to coast to a stop. Otherwise AMAZING car, 2007 SE Sedan, in Alabaster Silver bought July 2023 with 170k. Now has 197k. Not bad!
Is it back wheel drive?
No FWD longitudinally mounted engine
Same as my 83,000-mile gilded pewter metallic 2016 RLX that you featured on your YT channel in December 2022. Even though it did not sell well, I like mine and have had a good ownership experience and plan on keeping it for foreseeable future. Great video and beautiful scenery!
Thanks Tom! We should compare maintenance notes between your car and mom's.
I had the same car Same color and all
Great rides
I bought an 07 Coupe Auto brand new. My first car out of college. even with the auto, it was a fun commuter car with great gas mileage. I was able to fit alot of stuff in it too surprisingly. I got rid of it around 160K miles due to the wheel wells starting to get considerable rust. kept up with all the maintenance and it never let me down.
They are really strong cars
This would be a great addition to the RealTime Collection Hall.
It definitely would!
That orange is the worst civic color followed by that blue.
Thanks
Wrong move from Acura getting rid of the Legend name.
@@iheartgs400 👍
Those sales numbers really tell the story of how rare these are. I can count the number of times I've seen one in Canada on one hand!
Definitely! One day I want a 2018+ Hybrid RLX
Here, from Brazil again. Really nice car, classy and discret. I drive an Accord v6 2015, and bought a new starter recently (120.000 km). Changed the timing belt at 90.000. Best car ever had.
Very nice car, thanks for watching
Tyson I’m here in Michigan and I still own my 2005 Celestial Silver RL. I drive it only in winter season 👍. Otherwise I drive my WDP and my KBP TL TYPE S👌
@@davidboyce6427 you have impeccable taste in cars
@@TysonHugie did I mention from the year 1994 I drove a 1988 lude 2.0 Si, in 1997 I bought a 1993 lude VTEC and in 2000 my favorite was a 91 4WS White with white saw blade wheels 5spd SI👌👌👌👌
@@TysonHugie You’re the Ambassador for Honda/Acura collector’s and restoration and driving them 🫡🫡🫡🫡
It’s crazy to see how much they’ve been able to do with this platform. from this to the mdx to the accord coupe and many more in between
@@petrovladi News to me, I didn’t realize this car had a platform shared with either of those
