Ok so now iam back at home in Mission,Tx. Now I have traveled around 1500 mile in my acura in three days and I think that is pretty damn cool. But their was only draw back. I think my ac compressor went out but I will check itout a little better tmrw. Also after the first long trip from shreveport,la to nettleton,ms my power steering pump went out and I replaced it. But I also found out that even if a power steering system has no filter u can but one in the loop. So iam thinking putting it in this weekend so my new pump and rack & penion will last longer.

How did you replace the PS pump, while on the road or a shop?

Mandy I changed the ps pump when I got to mississippi from shreveport la. I got my own tools. Iam a jack of all trades. It took me 20 minutes to take it off, but one hour to put it back on cause u gotta take off the belt for the ac compresser and alternater. Oh also I changed right outside my motherinlaws house.

Rudy its nice to see you still ticking at over 300k. I just got one and it has 130k on it. I replaced the timing belt and water pump, changed the spark plugs with plat. and upgraded the breaking system with cross drilled and slotted rotors and ceml. pads. I replaced the ac compressor. I also had to replace the exhaust from the cat. Ordered all the parts on amizon and ebay for about $800.00 paid $1200.00 for labor. All I have to do is change the dif and brake fluid. Oh i also got 2 new tires and an alignment.

Wow u paid a lot in labor! I saved bout 1000.00 doing the work myself. But it does take a stack or two to get a acura working 100%. With all the work u got done and what u got coming it should get to 300,000 with no problem. I think iam gonna wait on my ac and get it fixed in the middle of winter maybe parts will b cheaper. I also just ordered a double d touch screen cause the cd player that was in it got stolen by a pro cause he or she did not break anything. Good luck let know whenever u get new work and I will do the same.
