This Website is dedicated Acura Legend Enthusiasts. There may not be many, but 13,000 and growing. If you aren't a car person and in many cases an import enthusiast, back out of this site now.
I can imagine how many of people browsing here ask themselves why does he do this, to this car no less? All I answer is; "This is what makes me happy."
My name is Christian Pascale and I was raised and born in Napa, CA. Growing up in a very Catholic family I was taught to treat other as i would like to be treated. I'd like to think that those values, is what brought me all that I have and where I am today.
Growing up I always had an intense interest in sports, mechanics and anything related to A/V, as most boys do. Out of competition I always created elaborate toys out of the ones I already had, same goes for what I do now with my car. When it came to anything A/V related, I was always watching TV, playing video games or experimenting with my first 286 PC at age 12. My fascination of computer games, lead me to understanding the internal workings of a computer. I started building computers for businesses in the Napa Valley at age15. I couldn't pass up on $15/hr at age 15. From there my own computer consulting business took off as well as my salary. I finished off High School and attended the local Junior College to finish my transfer units and pursue a degree in the computer field, all the while maintaining my business. I concentrated on hardware and networking since those were my two strongest areas. I transferred to Sonoma state for computer science since it was nearby. Soon I realized the concentration in programming was not my thing and transferred again to Devry University for my concentration in networking & routing. To make a long story short, I was lucky enough to land a job as an I .T . Manager for a real estate investment syndication, never complaining of not having enough to fund my second hobby and passion. I have since purchased a home in the Napa Valley, and my fiancé are due to be wed in fall 2010.
I found my Legend in the summer of 99', completely stock from the original owner in Redwood City, CA. She had 114,000 freeway miles and drove like a dream. I just turned 19 and really wasn't into the import car scene, I just choose this car because I thought it looked great and after all it was a nice luxury car. I started to manipulate ideas from www.Legend.org and the Temple forums out of boredom and applied it to my Legend. My friends and I quickly started to quarrel about who's car was faster, and the price of competition started to show up on my credit cards, I knew I'd never look back, until I had to pay them.... There was no aftermarket for the Acura Legend, surprise surprise, however I found ways to make them. Starting with aesthetic modifications like clear corners, clear turn-signals to window tinting. Soon there after I started to get into intakes and exhausts etc. One year later, before anyone at the time I transplanted my old TYPE I engine for a TYPE II, and that's where I began to get into the mechanics of engine building ETC, using the same R&D skills I learned being in I.T.
