Congratulations!

Wow, 100,000 miles. You've given the rest of us something to look forward to. I'm coming up on a third of the way there! (30,9xx miles and counting!)

Does this mean you can VTEC the engine now?

Drive Safe,
Steve R.

Congrats. What took you so long?

I'm currently @ 128k+ and still pulling strong, as soon as I replace my radiator tomorrow.

You need a "100k Mile" badge. Click on the one in my sig to the thread.

Kinda OT, but are you still on your first clutch and spark plugs? Did you ever do a valve adjustment?

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I have never missed an oil change and I typically get it done every 3000 miles. My only regret is I waited so long to switch to synthetic oil (Mobil 1). I didn't switch until I passed 75,000 miles or so. I also made sure to do most of the stuff Honda has listed for periodic maintenance. You know the 15,000 - 60,000 mile interval service stuff they advertise.

I changed the original spark plugs at 90,000 miles when I had my car dyno tuned after the VAFC2 install.

I had my first and only valve adjustment done at about 92,000 miles when I attended last years Fall Colors event. It was done by one of the techs from Ganley Honda trackside.

Also, I usually use 94 Octane Premium which is only available from Sunoco here on the east coast.

The clutch was replaced under warranty at 35,000 miles as part of the deceleration buzzing TSB. My current clutch has 65,000 miles on it and it is crunchy and it sticks to the floor sometimes when I'm trying to pull from a dead stop. I'm trying to figure out which brand I should get to replace it now.

I finally plan on Vtec'n it for the first time next week. I figure I don't have to baby it anymore. lol.
