Car ticked 100K this morning
 

Wow, 1st car I ever had to have a trans last till 100K.:thumbsup::tomato:
I must say the 6mt is very reliable.
2 IACV's
2 Purge solenoids
1 IMRC
Power steering rack
Power steering pump
Cat converter
That's about all that failed on this car.
I picked the car up at 44K miles.
Most mods went on at around 48K miles.


My 1st MT had 28K miles & my 02 auto had 18K when I got rid of them.
They didn't have any problems at all.
Too bad I'm done with Acura though. I don't like the new cars.

Conrats!

Not too bad. I guess these cars really will last forever. I just hit 102k, and the only thing I've ever had to replace that wasn't wear and tear or maintenance items is one brake switch and now a purge valve solenoid as well.

And there is a guy that just posted on the tl side with over 400k.

i don't mean to be a dooshbag but if to go through all those items in only 100000 or 56K of u owning it that's not something to write home about. you listed 8 things that went on the car so that's every 12500miles you needed to fix something?

I don't blame you for not liking acura anymore

I also measure things in dollars....
The only things to cost a significant amount of $ was the power steering stuff.
Also none of that left me stranded like a dead trans would have.
Coming from me where I've been stranded many times in past cars, this car is a diamond.

yea my car did shat out 2 trannies, nothing else tho, not a thing... both times tho i could drive wherever i wanted to fix it.. so i was happy with that aspect

and yes i too have been stranded many times in my previous ford probe.

I nicknamed it the Probelm LOL thing ate 3 alternators, pulley sheard, accesory belts squeaked, exhuast always leaked. car was hard to idle right... everything was a MESSSS..

the cl is a jewel i must admit.

hope u enjoy ur next whip

So your getting rid of it now?

I think he meant hes done with Acura for his next vehicle. Im sitting comfy @ 125k on the original auto trans. I've only done the recommended maintenance with the exception of changing the tranny fluid every 15k or so...No complaints

Congrats. Im glad it was reliable for you. I wish I had a 6mt so I could be confident in my tranny...

Congrats! Ive got over 133k on mine now. All original stuff for the first 103k. I needed my synchros replaced when the engine was built at 103k. The car is pretty reliable though, especially once I worked out all the bugs from the build.

Personally, I think its one of the last good looking Acuras they made. The 3rd gen TL is nice, but there are too many of them. Its also a pretty quick car, even by todays standards.

How long do you plan to hold onto it? Im looking forward to rolling past 200k. That should be sometime next year :tomato:

:thumbsup: i'm glad i have my 6mt.

+1 on the new acuras.

+2 on new Acuras. Im very disappointed in the direction Honda and Acura have gone. They have dropped just about EVERY Sports car except the Civic Si. Who wants a civic nowadays? They are everywhere! No more S2k, NSX, Integra, RSX.....What are we supposed to enjoy now? A Hybrid CRZ? They are all big bulky and oober expensive now. Its all about the technology and hardly about performance. :( Makes me sad. I wont leave Acura or Honda after this car. Ill just go back to old school DA integras and DC2s :)

and that`s why we still got the cl-s.. cause it`s that good.

Must be nice. I turned over 171k right after new years in my 02.

see that just shows how good those motors are though... they are indestructable practically..

that motor in 2000 was way ahead of it`s time.. IMHO

There is a member on here named "rush" who street races with his CL all of the time, and he has around 200k on his car :rofl: These motors are crazy reliable

:butthead:Rock on!

If only they would've done the same with the transmission...

Wait OP, you haven't had to replace any motor mounts?

I've had my 03 for almost 3 years, and all that's gone wrong has been 2 motor mounts and a headlight (which still might be messed up... have to wait and see, from what I hear)

and my trans is an auto, but it still shifts pretty smooth, so *knock on wood* I guess it helps that I granny the fsck out of the car. I barely let my RPMs go over 2k while the car is still warming up.

Oh yeah, forgot about those. 1 set.
