[geeteedan]

wanting to see what kind of miles your up to now and if so, Major repairs you've had to do to keep her on the road.

Im sitting at 256k for my 89 and everything is original so far other than replacing the heater hoses and EGR. Knock on wood

[SILENT]

Im @ 179K with my 89 SEI... replaced my radiator, iacv, injectors, oil pan and new exhaust after cat... my head gasket started to leak so im working on a b-series swap!!! As for my 89 LX its @ 149K... it has a new weber carb to replace busted stock one... needs a dizzy and new timing belt also a adjustable fuel pressure regulator!!!

[Civic Accord Honda]

[russiankid]

163,300 on mine. Whats been replaced? Lots of things.

All cooling system hoses, radiator, motor mounts, oil pan and gasket, valve cover and gasket, timing belt and tensioner, crank seal(front and rear), camshaft seal, oil pump seals, water pump, belts, power steering pump rebuild, rack and pinion, flywheel, clutch and throw out bearing, tranny axle output seals, axles, shifter bushings, LCA bushings, tie rod ends, upper ball joints, wheel studs, brake lines, brake pads and rotors, rear disk conversion with rebuild calipers, new strut mounting bushings in the rear, exhaust with rubber hangers, coil

[84Accord]

[3rd Party]

179k, about to turn over 180k

[Rendon LX-i]

398,000











On the body lol

[redaztec]

I've got about 225K on mine. While I can't say for sure what all has been done in the past, I think the engine and trans are original. The radiator may have been replaced. I just replaced the suspension ball joints, bushings, and shocks, steering rack (still worked but leaked a lot), and axles. I have also replaced the injectors. Besides that, all I've done is small stuff and maintenance.

[G. White]

162,100 miles on my 89' LXI. 1 wheel bearing, 2 P.S. racks, both o2 sensors, P.S. pump rebuild, outer tie rods, sway bar bushings, poor mans dizzy rebuild, starter, battery, all the regular tune up stuff.

[-$MOKIN-]

252,000 miles on my baby and still riding it hard .:flip:

[Pico]

on my 89 less than 7,000 on a rebuilt engine.

[LxAcc510]

[MessyHonda]

[Strugglebucket]

Only thing that ever broke on me was the original timing belt @130,000 miles.

[Tomisimo]

[King Peetis]

257,000

[89bonda]

125,000 since ive had it just replaced the upper radiator hose and c/v axles

[LXiHatch88]

My '88 LXI hatch has 325,212 showing. The odometer stopped working 5 years ago. The guy I bought it off of drove the car 70 miles a day, 5 days a week to and from work. So it probably has a little over 400,000 on it at this point.

My 85 Accord that I sold a couple of months ago had 387,000 on it, I was the second owner. Still ran and drove great. I sold it to my cousin, she is away at college and it is her only vehicle. It will hit 400,000 by the end of the year.

[girlcrazy_4]

I'm sitting at 550,500km on my 87' exi so thats 344861 miles

[mrma5b]

89 lxi coupe 5-speed: 216,800 miles

It had around 211k when I bought it about 10 months ago.

Had a torn CV boot, so I just replaced the whole driver's side half-axle for about $70.

Put new front brake pads and rotors. Before that, the steering wheel would shake violently if you hit the brakes over 25mph.

Replaced valve cover gasket. oil was slightly oozing onto the exhaust manifold beforehand. Had a [not so] nice burning smell.

Now I just have have to find what's causing a slight misfire at idle, and i'll be happy.

[geeteedan]

well i am putting new Cv axles in this week. Started hearing a ticking noise every time i turned and its getting louder. Already picked them up so let the fun begin on wednesday

[hikingmatt]

35 miles from 222000....
Repair List

Rebuilt Tranny
CV Joints
Clutch
Steering Rack
Main Relay(replaced yesterday)

[Lil Mike]

172k miles or 277k km on the 2gee :)

[snoopyloopy]

~280k. i think the powertrain is original, carfax doesn't show any records of engine or tranny work and i bought it from a "dealer" who got it at auction. but since i've owned it, i've replaced alternator, spark plugs and wires, brake master cylinder, and put in stainless steel brake lines (the lines really were in sad shape though). i'm gonna assume the clutch has been changed at least once or twice as well. i also had to change out the speakers because they were all busted, and put in a '97 accord cd player.

[AccordB20A]

Update on mine:
308 000 kilometers = 191 382.327 miles

Just broken in now ow

[tyler125yz]

210k only prob is carb which im swapping anyways and payed only $400 :)

[mushroom_toy]

419k :)

[MessyHonda]

hit 142k in the coupe today....drove it more than 100 miles...i just need a alignment

[ecogabriel]

Almost 133k miles on my 86 Accord LX-i sedan, auto (aarrrgghhh!!!)
It had 126k when got it one year ago for $300 pissing oil from every shaft (that is why I got it cheap, the owner (a friend) was about to junk it.

Overall, the car was sound but in dire need of maintenance and replacement of worn parts.

I do not drive it as much as I'd like; the f.... transmission has an idle vibration every time it is in gear that drives me nuts (it disappears when engine runs above 1k though).

I still have some way to go to make it run how I'd like to.

[geeteedan]

just hit 260k today on the way home from work

[zack_attack2010]

well, my first post here, but my 87' 4 door LX has 148,xxx, and i recently got the car and have about 650 miles on it, and my repair list:
$100-new fuel pump(did repair myself, sustaining the injury of gasoline in my ear, hurt like a BITCH)
$40 vaccum leak somewhere, dies on idle(just took it to the shop, picking it up today)
$8- new tailights
$4- new sparkplug cable

haha, yah, well im proud to be in this forum now, lol

[Rollz87civic]

1987 dx 149,xxx miles

[89lxisedan]

1989 lx-i sedan 156xxx

[charliekuney]

'89 LX-i coupe [RIP]: 180,900 as of 7/4/09.

[dellis_0096]

270,600 as of 6/17-09

[GraniteLXI]

Currently as of 6-18-09 there is 169531 miles on my 3g. Almost to 170K! lol

[Tdurr]

body is almost at 150k, and my motor has like 12k. I think.

[MessyHonda]

just turned 170k

[Keachman1]

Mine has 361K miles. Runs great. Original engine with only the head gasket replaced at 250K. It's had 4 timing belts, 3 water pumps, and on its second clutch. The 5 spd trans was rebuilt at 280K due to 5th gear noise.

I started using Royal Purple oil at 200K and had to replace all the seals due to leaks. That stuff really cleans your engine out. I change oil every 12K miles and use mobil 1 filters. I have access to oil analyzing equipment and this tells me when the oil viscosity and particle count is getting to the point it needs to be changed. I also have a pre-oiling system using an oil accumulator and solenoid valve that I use to build oil pressure to 40 psig before starting the car.

It still gets 34 mpg. I've removed the power steering and converted it to manual, removed the air conditioner, installed a MSD 6A ignition and coil, removed all vacuum lines, installed manual choke, and manual secondary on the carb. The EGR has been removed and the ports on the stock intake have been machined off so it looks like an after market intake.

I don't hotrod it as it is my work car. My next project is doing away with the distributor and building a crank fire ignition from EDIS components and Megajolt Lite Jr to control it and spark advance settings.

Update: my car now has 482k miles and is still going strong. I got rid of the distributor 5 years ago and installed the Megajolt Lite Jr and it works awesome.

Update: my car now has over 500k miles and is still going strong.

[griffonks]

Mine has 172882 miles, just getting ready to do the timing belt for the second time, it had 115000 on the clock when I took it out of the barn that it sat in for 8 years.....

[87blue88]

I started with an blue 87 sedan auto LX with 186,xxx. It got totaled, at 226,xxx. Bought a blue 88 sedan auto LX, with bad engine, at 185,000. Swapped the engine, trans, axles and suspension. Made it a 5 speed, added MSD , pacesetter header, rebuilt head. Now has about 240,xxx on the motor. 198,000 on the body.

[CzEcHy]

233,xxx miles on mine.. 1988' Lx Automatic

Not one engine problem, ever, no smoke, no head gaskets, etc..

My biggest problem so far = carburetor float bowl (non-Honda part figures lol)

[mzchevelle]

I bought my 1988 Hatchie LXi from the original owner who is a really good friend of mine. I bought it in March, 2008 with 175k miles on it. Now it is over 176k, and I do drive it a lot, but I have 3 other cars, 2 of which are daily drivers and 1 show car Chevelle hot rod.

I replaced the fuel injectors about a year ago. Something is still spewing off smoke smell under the hood. Had the rack-and-pinion steering replaced a few weeks ago. Looks like that is the 2nd rebuilt steering part for that car. My friend that replaced the R&P told me the part he took out was re-manufactured. What gives with the steering? Should last longer than this! I know my buddy was easy on this car too. No race mods. All stock with 2.0 liter and 5-spd manual. This was a family car for him for 2 decades!

[Civic Accord Honda]

bought the civic in november 08 with 159k... now up to almost 177k

Since when do 3g's have a harmonic balancer?

[Twiewel89lxi]

I guess it's really the crankshaft pulley, my mechanic always referred to it as the harmonic balancer and that's where I picked it up.

As of now - 323,000 miles. I think these engines must be bulletproof. Even the original automatic gearbox lasted over 300,000 miles. How many cars can stand on that kind of durability?

I hit 211,000 miles coming home to Oklahoma City from a 4,000 mile roadtrip to California in my '89 LXi. I drove through 115 degree desert passing cars 15 years newer on the shoulder with the hood up, drove through the mountains of Yosemite and down the Pacific Coast Highway all in 7 days and I felt almost like i was driving a new car... Did I mention it is all original except for a new radiator?

[bryan6732]

[ecogabriel]

140,8xx miles as of today. Third owner; first one sold it at 60K, friend of mine sold it at 128K when he was about to trash it.

What things I did replace?... let's see.
EGR valve, A/C boost solenoid, brake power booster, master brake cylinder, radiator, ALL cooling hoses, fan switches, temp sender and switch, all struts, tie rod ends, ALL crank/cam seals, oil pump seals, driver window mechanism, transmission (worked but vibrated @ idle), engine mounts, front brake calipers (rebuilt) new pads and rotors, all belts, alternator, P/S pump rebuilt, P/S pressure hose, in the process of replacing P/S return hoses. CD/ player and speakers from other car, distributor rebuilt w/new bearing ... anyway, what I recall, and leave aside "maintenance items" such as spark plugs, plug wires, cap & rotor, O2 sensor.

It was done slowly with several things done in the first year - oil leaks were bad, suspension totally shot, would not pass emissions because of EGR valve, had no power brake assistance, driver window would not go down. Many smaller improvements were done after that, and it slowly became a dependable car.

Dang.. these cars are made for road trips.. mine is sitting at around 255k original everything with the exception of replacing a few radiator hoses, and replacing the alternator. other than that its all stock.. i've been from Oregon where i live to Florida, and back. From Oregon to Cali and Back Twice. I hope to get out to a 3geez meet up thats big no matter the distance..!!

[ArkyHog88]

185k still going strong. Only basic wear items replaced.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I just hit 280,000kms last week, so about 173,000miles... But been on the new motor for about 6000km now.

[AccordB20A]

6000km? time for vtec? lol i have the kit u need haha

[lorenzos]

91652 miles

[FresnoCA5]

checking in: '86 LXi hatch with about 227k. comp test was reasonably nice and the car is a lot quicker than i expected.

[g0dspeak]

165k on a mostly stock 89 LX.

Had to replace the air vent cut off diaphragm(replaced entire thermo valve too)

And had to customize a vacuum advance to fit onto the dizzy.

That's all i've done to it since i've had it for 3 weeks now, but I need to time the ignition and tune the carb. It runs like shit for some reason.

Seems like it misses @ 1-3k, then it stops acting up.

It will idle at 1k-4k and sometimes randomly die when you are stopping at a stop sign.

[87hondalx]

A little over 58k now...and in the process of pulling out the auto tranny and putting in a manual

[elarson88]

Mine is sitting at 251000 km or 156000 miles
No Idea whats been replaced before. But this week I will be doing plugs, wires, cap and rotor, air filter and an oil change :)

174,810 miles, which really is low miles, on an average annual basis, for an 88. About 90K was on the car when my son bought it back in 1997, as I recall. I became the owner in 1999. So, in approx. the last 15 years, only about 85K have been added, an average of only about 5.7K miles per year.

I have a 91 Accord which is the car I've driven most of the time I've also owned this 88 LX-i. The 91 Accord has approx. 297, 900 miles on it.

[niles]

I just hit 200k a month ago and the car runs beautiful. It has a vibration at different speeds from the front left wheel, time for new bushings.

It's interesting how a graph of that answers makes an almost perfect bell curve.

[w5iua]

Im @ 179K with my 89 SEI... replaced my radiator, iacv, injectors, oil pan and new exhaust after cat... my head gasket started to leak so im working on a b-series swap!!! As for my 89 LX its @ 149K... it has a new weber carb to replace busted stock one... needs a dizzy and new timing belt also a adjustable fuel pressure regulator!!!

Please explain why you would do a "b-series swap"? My 88 LXi needs head gasket work now.

Why not bring this thread back? 277k miles. Runs great. Edit: new head gasket, valves, timing belt, distributor, water pump, master cylinder, fuel pump, engine mounts, ball joints (front uppers and lowers), tie rods, carburetor (remanufactured), cam seal, crank seal, oil pump seal, oil pan seal (while doing those seals we found the fairly new timing belt to be saturated with the oil and the fairly new water pump to be leaking so both were replaced again), passenger side cv axle and seal, radiator fans (junk yard), seal kit for power steering pump, steering rack, paint job. All of this done within the last 10k miles. The previous owner replaced the distributor whilst trying to track down a no-start issue. 'Twas the fuel pump actually. While he was doing the head gasket, he did the valves and timing belt/water pump.

Before I bought this car last year, it sat for a year or longer which is (I suspect) why most of the leaks developed. These cars, driven daily will run and run. Next time I see the 89 accord near me with over a million miles on it, I'll snap a picture. It's one of 10 purchased by a local company back in 89. They're still on the road daily being operated by employees of that same company. Apparently many of the employees have been driving them since new. Last time I was at the Honda dealer, the one with a million miles was there for a valve job. Replaced valves and was back on the road. Mine is driven 80 miles a day and 30+mpg. I need to do struts all the way around soon but I really love this old car.

[KillahKitt]

320k on my 89. Fifth gear just bit it, so now checking options. I knew 5th was going to go, as on my first clutch replacement, the asshats put GEAR OIL in there! Ugh. So now, about 15 years later, fifth is GONE.

Bummer. Like has been said here the Honda MTF really is the best over motor oil. One time I filled mine while it was on ramps. Mistake. The oil was a bit low because of that and it got hard to put into fifth. I fixed it after a bit of driving. Good thing I did not just keep driving it that way. Just a bit low and there it goes. 330,000+ still runs good.

[racinwolfe]

272,000 on the old girl. Still runs strong.

So now, about 15 years later, fifth is GONE.I once took my 88 Accord LX-i to a shop that put gear oil in the manual transmission. I suspect it might have caused the passenger side cv axle seal to leak; I replaced the gear oil with motor oil, as recommended in the user manual, and had the seal replaced. Fortunately, no other transmission issues.

My car has about 186K miles on it, not much for an '88. The reason for the low miles is that I generally did not use it as my daily driver. However, during the last year or so, I have been driving it most of the time and miles are adding up faster. I also have a '91 Accord with 306K miles.

[laxton]

just picked up a 87 lxi for $275. Body is in ok condition, interior is great, engine runs great. Still on original engine/trans with 312,000 miles on it. changing timing belt, water pump, valve cover gasket, adjusting valves and going to see how much longer it will go :)
