I could do that for a job - I would happily drive 500-600 miles a day, 5 days a week.

I drive all day as it is in a lorry, why not in the comfort of a car? :lol:

Awesome. And here was me worrying about putting a 131,000 mile car on a dyno!
Honda ftw

Sweet. Just out of interest and I dont mean to sound patronising in any way - when did you have the cam chain done? Mines still on the original at 131500.... Think it needs a clutch but I couldnt say if thats still the original. The car had 88000 on it when I got it and to be fair, at this moment in time, the bearing makes a noise when its idling out of gear with the clutch engaged. I think it may be well overdue although it isn't slipping....
What other things would you/have you had done in the last 50k?
I assume this is an EP3 judging by your avatar?!

That's some miles! Good old Honda!

Makes you think why people are put off by 100k
