ef oh yew are thousand!

eekazum · 03-26-08, 03:52 AM

hehehehehe!

today, around 5:30pm, my 5-speed drove it's 400000th mile! it had been a personal goal of mine to see this car pass the 400 mark and hey, it's not a bad feeling to finally accomplish it

while not without problems and an occasional worry here or there, it's taken me to work and back for a whole year and while significantly lacking in power compared to my auto, it still gets good mileage.

a seafoam treatment on sunday seems to have banished the lifter tick and i've been enjoying a bit more zip in both my rides.

fyi, my auto is like 50 miles from hitting the 300000 mile mark and its funny how both my cars were manufactured on the same year, same month with the only differences being the color and the transmission.

but yeah, it's about time i stopped holding on to petty prides and looked into getting a new engine and tranny for my baby. what do you guys think is a good price for both?

anyhow, just wanted to update. long live the legends!!

congrats!

Xcaliber003 · 03-26-08, 04:52 AM

Wow!!!! That's big. very BIG.

I think you can find some JDM C27's on ebay from time to time, sometimes with the trans. I'm not sure about prices but I'm sure others know.

ND1980LS · 03-26-08, 06:07 AM

Sounds awesome. Good luck finding an engine and tranny. Ebay is a good place to find imported motors.

Yea I say go for the half million mark and in the meantime take your time sourcing a good motor/trans setup for the car!! Congrats!!! At the rate I drive my Legend it will take me only 38.5 years to catch up with you (I need to do 270,000 miles @ 7000 per year)

My Saab has 213K and I'm hoping to take her to 500K on the original motor/trans!!
