you understand that is a violation of federal law....?

You're breaking the law as soon as your odometer stops recording mileage? What exactly are you supposed to do about that? I was suggesting recording the mileage on your own for personal reasons when the car could not. I was not suggesting tampering or altering anything on the car... What law exactly are you breaking by hitting 1 million miles?

I had you confused with someone else, sorry.

Someone mentioned a new gauge/cluster.

Actually you can replace the gauge, you will just need to state that the odometer doesnt reflect the true milage of the car

2nd motor or not thats a commercial for Honda, they should give you a free car. If this was a GM you'd be on motor 87.

deltatechx, you stated that you still have the original coil packs installed. Replace them and you will see a significant improvement in your MPG. A healthy ignition system is crucial in order to achieve optimum combustion in the chambers. Also, consider running a can of Seafoam through the engine to clean out any carbon build up. You should buy a box load of the coils at cost price so you can replace them every 60,000 miles as needed.

Since when are the coils replaced every 60K miles? I don't even think Honda recommends replacing them at any time (didn't see anything in the manual).

I prefer every 50,000 miles personally. Even though Honda may not mention anything it's more obvious than anything.

I'm sorry but I don't want to go through 70 pages of reading but how is that possible you put so many miles in a few years? Where do you go?
