Better than the million mile honda....

Post by ymisoqt »

This is my friend Tyson's Acura Legend, about to hit 500k.

Original motor.

Original trans.

ORIGINAL CLUTCH.

He's been invited to roll 500k at the American Honda Corporate office Nov. 4th.

Here is his blog that he recently started in anticipation of the event. The blog is very good, especially when you get into the maintenance part lol This car has been thru almost every state in the country. Last year as I was traveling we frequently texted to check where each other was at, and what speed we were traveling at and compared rpm's lol

This story is pretty cool to me because, as you can see in the blog, I've been a part of a few of the trips. I've been to his house in AZ, and he's been here in STL and Springfield.

His 2nd visit to Springfield, when I hosted our national meet in 09

He had his dash signed at the S2K homecoming by Shigeru Uehara, the development chief of the NSX. Pretty badass :) I took this pic last time I was visiting.

When he hit 400k I gathered donations from the legend forum and had this plaque made. He is pretty well known around there because of his travels and I was able to have that made, shipped and still have money left over to call his Acura service center and have his next round of scheduled maintenance paid for lol

Definitely cool, no doubt.

That original clutch is almost the most awesome part to me.

CRX Community better give me a plague when my CRX hits 400K (nearly 320K now) miles on the original D15B2 an AUTOMATIC transmission!

More pics of the Legend are needed.

thats ridiculous.
I had a firebird with original engine and original tranny at 230k miles.
Its amazing how long engines can last, if you get one without flaws.

Awesome car. I'm glad that he has kept it that nice for so long. Too many Legends have suffered the indignities of rolling on dubs and neglected maintenance.
