what's up YouTube it's your boy car Venture Ridge and welcome back to another video and in today's
video we're heading actually to the Acura Legend right now we're gonna go finally get the upper
control arms fixed today now um if y'all seen the last video when I did the um the inner tie rods or
whatever um I told you I said man the next thing I'm gonna have to do is use upper control arms why
because of those ball joints they are cracked they look bad so I don't want to be driving that car
and then the whole front end slam because of those ball joints so that's something that I wanted to
get done ASAP and we're going to do it today but unfortunately I won't be recording the process
today um because I'm taking it to a different shop to be honest y'all like I think the last
video y'all seen when I did that POV drive and you know I was telling you guys that I'm finally daily
driving it I haven't I haven't I haven't touched that car since and it's been a good like hmm
I'm gonna say three weeks going on to a month I haven't like really drove that car and
I missed that car I want to drive it you know what I'm saying because it is my daily driver and I'm
trying to get all the money that I put into it you know out of it you know what I'm saying so
I needed to get these upper control arms because you know that's important you know I don't want to
you know be driving 60 70 miles per hour then the whole front end just dropped you know so I needed
to get that before you know I start daily driving it again but yeah we on our way to the Acura
um and I guess I'll start recording when we get there all right Josh y'all see we're here staying
been parked for like three weeks let's see if y'all can see the the ball joint y'all see that
see that one gotta get replaced but I think the one on this side is the worst to be honest
all right you don't see that one
y'all see that one is just crack crack
so yeah we got to get that replaced man we gotta get that replaced but
um with the legend now um I'll go ahead and show y'all with the legend if I'm just like you know
letting it sit or whatever I'll take the battery terminal out so I could save my my battery because
on this car man it'd be unlocking and locking and unlocking it sometimes the alarm go off and
I ain't got time for all that so I take the terminal out or whatever and then let it be this
is what I use for a radio if I'm in a legend I use this big old JBL speaker because there's only one
speaker that worked in this car and as y'all can see I got some new tools right here so take this
this little stick right here let me go ahead and pop the hood open for free real quick all right
so as y'all can see right here see I just take this out and save my battery because this thing
be tripping okay so first time y'all see me work on my car too I know how to do little
stuff like I was saying y'all how to do a little stuff man of fact hand tight this real quick
go ahead and tighten it up
just like this
bam it's all tight
but yeah it's cool so then um probably for my next project y'all ain't gonna go
out I was thinking that um I might just go ahead and do the EGR cleaning or whatever
they said something about you got to take off the intake or whatever to do it but I know that EGR is
back there and I'll probably get like a new one to just go ahead and replace it and then I just gotta
find like the tube or something what they saying and just clean it but it shouldn't be too hard man
you know I bought this car it's lightweight so I could work on it too so little projects like that
I'll probably do myself so be looking forward to that video if I actually decide to do it but
um but yeah let's go ahead and uh start her up for the first time gotta put my tools back man
got to keep the tools on me when I'm in a legend man I know y'all see I got that we
got to keep the 5W30 oil up in here and if y'all seen all this stuff in my trunk
it's the parts car man but I'm gonna try to figure out where I could put all these parts
at so I wanted to carry all this stuff in the trunk go ahead and start this bad boy up
there we go yes sir yes sir starts right up yes sir yeah and everything sounds about normal
on the legend I mean it sounds about normal then it sounds pretty good just like that we're in
the game we end the game now I do want to go to the junkyard because I need to find like another
trim piece to this to this window in the back here I know it's going to be real hard to find
so I'm gonna have to go find it because I do want to you know get that replaced or whatever
um but yeah let's go ahead and get up on the road and um go ahead and talk to y'all for a few
minutes and while I drop it off and yeah let's get on the road man I wanted to show you guys my new
keychain that just came man a little carbon fiber thing CSA G37 right here I ordered a G35 one and
I ordered the accurate one but the Acura won't look like this one but the G35 will so which is
cool because I'm gonna start separating my keys because that's how I got my keys well it's in
the car auto I got my keys like this y'all all of them are on the same hook and I know when you're
driving a car with the ignition you shouldn't have all these keys on your ring because you know it
shouldn't be this heavy because eventually that wears down on the ignition and you could break
it so I'm gonna just be rocking um one key one by one Whatever car I'm driving is the one I'll
be taking in like I said I bought a new keychain so you'll know from the G37 to G35 in the legend
which is going to be cool so I'm just waiting for both of them to come and then yeah but the G37 one
came first so I could actually put that one on a day but yeah let's go ahead and get into this
drive y'all for real for real all right as y'all can see we are in traffic with the legend man
moving it's working you know no check engine lights on just ABS light but I think I'm gonna
have to you know switch the whole like uh I think it's called a module something like that the ABS
module but you know that's going to come down the line but the main thing that I wanted to do is get
this car running and it runs obviously and then you know when I take it out the shop tomorrow I
do plan to go to this all accurate meet this will be the first car meet that the Acura that the
legend will be attending so I'm really excited and especially that you know it's all actors
and I get some you know footage I think my boy B going to be there so you it's gonna be lit so um
thinking about doing that tomorrow I want to give y'all more driving footage man because it seemed
like every time every time I do a video with this car you know I'm always getting something fixed
or something like I want to do some fun content with the legend you know it's coming it's coming
as y'all can see if y'all you know go on a whole little catalog my journey with the legend y'all
see that you know I've been through hail them back for real trying to get this car to where
it's at we replace engine mounts spark plugs coils timing belt water pump thermostat new cooling um
what else are we what else we do we did the inner tie rod it's tires battery brakes um what else I
did a lot more than that I can't think about off the top of my head but that's the ones I could
think of the top of my head all new serpentine belt you know all that you know what I'm saying
like I did a lot of stuff on this car man to to get it to where it's at today like before
um when I had got this car as well I didn't record is that this car used to stall out a lot like it
really did used to stall out I go just stop out of nowhere and it don't do that no more man it's
actually been a cool good car and like I said I drove it back and forth to work and I put about
30 miles on it one way it's about 60 miles you know to go both ways go there and go back home
and it's been great the only thing like I said I built was really worried about was these upper
control arms so now that I'm about to get this fixed I'm right back on the road hopefully the
next video after the car meet I believe I'm gonna post a car meet after this one if I go to the car
meet but the next video after that should be one of my plan hands with this Legend So guys look
forward to that video and then I'll make a video of how much I spent on this car and like I said
I spent a lot of money on this car way more than what it's worth right now but it's gonna be all
worth it in the end you know we're gonna rebuild it and uh it's gonna be a fun project oops I think
I said too much but yeah but we're on our way to the shop and y'all see man it's been it's been
moving man and one thing about this Legend too is like it used to smoke a lot a lot you know
it still smokes don't get me wrong like it still smokes but it doesn't smoke a lot no more like
it's actually like calmed down like it's like be like a little bit you know and to where it has
to get to a lot a lot it's like if it's really just idling for like 10-15 minutes and you know
then you'll really start to see it but you know stopping that stop lights and stuff like that
has actually been really cool because I remember all the time I I used to see like he used to be a
smoke show and I'm glad is not doing that no more it's probably because you know I've been driving
it more often and probably the more I drive it maybe the more it'll kind of clear up I do plan
on Switching the oil with this car so um hopefully yeah I got yeah I got a lot of videos because I do
plan on Switching the oil in this car I want to do the high mileage oil full synthetic and I am going
to put like some type of oil treatment in there and I do want to do one more round I like seafoam
um not this oil change probably right before I get an oil change I want to do like seafoam like
clean it up inside to where it won't smoke too much now I know what's causing it to smoke is to
um valve stem seals those seals are worn out so that's what's causing it to to burn oil you know
every time it idle so so yeah we're getting ready to pull in right now pull into the Big O's tires
oh y'all here creeks and cracks
pull into this parking space right here all right we here we are here
brought his windows up don't need to put the club on I ain't gonna lock the doors because
it's gonna be right here go ahead and go up in here and see what they talking about man all
right y'all it's a whole another day as y'all could see I got the legend out the shop man and
um I didn't record it uh when I first got the shop because I was rushing and then I
went to go see a couple of friends and stuff so I actually forgot to record like a little
update but pretty much man the car ride is really super smooth now since I had got
the the ball joints replaced a little upper control arms if y'all can see it right here
[Music]
actually I don't know what they did right there I don't know anything happened I'll just Sue no but
um y'all don't know what that is right there it's this other side don't look like that or it doesn't
oh yeah dude it's like leaking some [ __ ]
the hell
I might have to go back but anyways besides all that it don't
ride as bad as it was before actually rides pretty good rides pretty smooth so
um I'm actually going back up to the place today and tell them that whatever that is is leaking so
um they might have to go back and and fix it so but it feels better from the older
part though it does feel better but I don't know what that is leaking so
know kind of mad about that though I ain't gonna lie I'm kind of hot about that to be honest like
that's one thing like well I don't like going to these random shops that's the reason why I kind
of said that in the video like there's no way it should be leaking like that bro like at all
there's no way it should be leaking like that the first day out first day out the shop is
leaking like that that's the reason why I don't like messing with shots like that I really don't
you know I like to go there to go get tires or something but like anything mechanical I
really don't all right y'all it's actually been like a week since I recorded the last clip but
um I ended up taking it to the shop and I got it fixed again so it was actually a bad part and
um you know they went out and replaced it for me so let's go ahead and look at it now
see that hmm
so still look like it's leaking a little bit but he said if it's leaking a lot just come
back because they had to put some some type of stuff in it or whatever but uh
I don't want to keep on coming running back and forth but last time boy it
was like it was it was shot this one is not leaking at all though
this one is actually doing really good this one's not leaking at all but the other one is leaking so
I'ma just monitor that but you know I want to keep on running back and forth up to the shop
because I got other stuff to do besides always bringing this car to the shop man
it's like I need it to be done right so that I could get on but you know what I
got to do but yeah man so we replace the upper control arms um might have to bring
it back because this side is is leaking but you know we're gonna end the video today but
there's always something there's always something but um I hope you guys enjoyed this video I
hope you guys been enjoying the Acura Legend content that I've been producing for you guys
um I have a lot more content on the way with this car I believe the next video should be
um when I had took this car to his first car meet it was an all Acura meet so I took it to
a you know car meet or whatever so y'all should be seeing that next and yeah but um as far as the
next maintenance video which I should expect is a oil change because um I do want to switch this oil
to a high mileage full synthetic blend and I want to put that oil treatment in there to like kind
of slow down and smoking but um what I have been noticing since I've been driving it a lot more
because y'all know that I daily drive this car now so I drive it back and forth to work I probably
put about 30 to maybe 45 miles on this car a day so this car is daily driven but um I have
noticed that it doesn't smoke as much but when it does smoke it's when it's like if I'm putting in
reverse and I'm like kind of have to use a little bit of gas it'll start to smoke or if it's idling
too long so if I'm sitting at a light for too long it will start to smoke or whatever but
um it doesn't smoke a lot though like it used to though like if I was at a light you could tell
like it was smoking like you can smell it but if it does start to smoke it'll just be like a
little bit of smoke so I'm glad that you know I know that okay all I needed to do is really just
drive it but um now for it to stop the smoke maybe I could just put that high mileage full synthetic
oil in there to kind of slow it down even more and of course that oil treatment to kind of like
make the make the seals work properly again or something that I was reading so it's been getting
me where I gotta go and I'm happy about that I'm excited about the future with this car and see it
where it goes like you know since I had this car is always it's not working or I'm ready to give
up on it but now it's finally moving so you know so I'm happy about that you know it's it's moving
it's able to drive and is able to get me places and I'm really happy about that and uh oh God
so now y'all see this team be tripping on camera the alarm be going off
for no reason so how I do that you gotta unlock it but I'll be taking a battery I think but I don't
know why it does that oh because all the doors are locked and that's the only door that's unlocked
okay I'm starting to learn about this car but I need to get that deactivated as well y'all
just seen that live on camera what I have to deal with with this car or the alarm going off
and stuff like that so I need to get that alarm deactivated I greatly appreciate you
guys for supporting my channel watching my videos commenting liking and all that that
doesn't go unnoticed I really do appreciate you guys and I'll see you on the next video peace
