Wow, this thread was brought back from the dead. 
Yeah here's a current odo shot.
Car is on its 5th timing belt. It was most recently changed at 421,013 along with a full 90k service at Acura of Tempe.
Other recent items:
399,745: Fuel pump (the original finally gave out) and alternator. This was the only time I have ever been towed in all my driving with this car.
434,740: O2 sensors & EGR valve
437,774: Four wheel alignment
Other than that it's been just oil changes since I rolled 400k last October.
Just returned this past Saturday from the 6th annual National Acura Legend Meet in Salt Lake City, Utah. Car was featured on the front row of the local Acura dealership and I got my picture taken with the owner of the dealership and the service manager.
I'm rolling on 04 TSX wheels currently.
Still haven't touched the original clutch.

Beautiful car -- hats off on keeping it running well and looking almost new at 400K. My first Acura was a Legend Coupe ('92 5MT). I feel like such a piker - sold it earlier this year with only 87,000 miles on it. But it looked almost as nice as yours and ran perfectly. (See pix in my garage). Did the TB at about 80K; other than that just oil, filters, tires and drive belts a few years ago. Original exhaust, clutch and brakes. These cars were aptly named.

How the hell does a clutch last 400k miles?I get that it's probably primarily highway miles but damn...
And I love how fitting your car looks in the dealership. Saying it looks brand new would be an understatement.

Are you kidding me?!?! That Legend is CLEEEEANNN!!The Legend coupe is my favorite Acura of all time. And a manual tranny!! Always wanted one but didn't have the cash back then. Now that i can afford one, I can't find a clean one anywhere in my neck of the woods...Canadian winters eat Hondas for lunch! May just have to look into ordering one from the States. Great job, especially with the interior! Keep her clean, and if you ever think about selling it...

Absolutely fantastic. Hope you get lot more miles on this LEGEND.
Moderator's, can someone please change the title to 500,000 Mile Legend. It sure deserves it.

From what I hear, if you keep it till 1 million miles you'll probably get a new car for free from Honda.
So slow down on them miles, nobody wants a new Honda these days.
Just kidding, happy motoring!
