GTR

Steven Bell, i saw them first lol.
anthracitecl , thank you. Got to love those Hondas.
swoosh, funny enough that GTR was a Florida rental...lol.
48th fill up - 325 miles
49th fill up - 323 miles
50th fill up - 336 miles
51st fill up - 329 miles
52nd fill up - 324 miles
53rd fill up - 391 miles
So I got some things done:
Replaced those oil filter housing gaskets (picture of the old ones)
This picture is saying oil pump/crankshaft seal leak all over it.
Also changed a small transmission cooler hose that I had laying around for a while(this one wasn't leaking...lol)
Tomorrow will be taking a pic of a cool milestone.

swoosh, hope all goes well with the baby.
It's the camber, which is a common problem with this vehicles. No OEM adjustment on the camber with this vehicles. I get the alignment done every 10k.Toe is never to far off.

KJ TL-S, swoosh thank you guys.
Steven Bell, thanks bro. Did you find any issues in the suspension that were causing the tire wear?
A few more shots from the last time.
FYI : For those interested mister Irv Gordon will be racking the 3 MILLION MILES on his 1966 Volvo P1800S next couple of days. On the 17th of this month he will be taking a trip to Alaska to conquer that milestone.
