Happy 100,000th mile TL-S
Yesterday I hit my 100,000th mile on my car.
3 sets of IM's crap and new OEMed mounts, new head unit, new Tires, new Rotora slotted fronts, many oil and trans changes and plenty of Seafoaming later she still runs like when i got her.
In the coming year I plan to make some changes. Most work will be to sound while a few others being cosmetic.
Thanks for all the open help topics and DIYs Acurazine lets keep the good advice goin guys .

Wellll, all i could get was "the last date of transmission work performed was in Aug. 2006." Thanks, Acura for being so hush hush about service records.

Just hit 120,000 on my '03 TL-S. I got it with 18,000 and transmission was done a year later, so say another 12,000 = 30,000.
Since then I have gone through as many rotors as tires sets. Tried racing brakes with them warping on me in a year, now I am on EBC slotted/dimpled with green stuff front and back (I know back is overkill). I also have SS lines all around.
Now just need to change my transmission and radiator fluids. Brake fluid has been done. Also on to do list are the engine mounts. Water pump and belts have been done as well.
Alignment is not perfect ether, just got in the mail rear Camber Kit from SPC.
Inside I have added a half din DVD player, mounded under glove compartment, its inline with Navi.

Wow congrats, they will run forever. My main concern is the tranny...I'm in it for the long haul with my 08 TL-S so I want to be careful with the tranny maintenance since I had the trans go out on an 01 TL. Some people say do it every 20-30k and the dealer tells me a service light will go on for it at about 100k?!

and normally when they do say to change the first time at 100k , the fluid looks like shit, it is all dark and you can barely even see through it, cause it looks so bad, and alot of people who do not even pay attention to their car, can notice a huge difference when it does finally get change, cause it was shifting so bad, my opinion would be is that you should never even be able to tell a difference, when the fluid is changed, because it has been maintained properly previosly
