    Like NX said our motors are wayy durable, damn near bullet proof. Not the fastest thing ever put on a road but they last forever. Just take car of it and it will take care of you

    Check the fluids, brakes, alignment, driveshafts, headgasket, timing belt, tires, clutch, belts and hoses. As long as all those things are good it should last a long time.

    Put it this way, there's a 200,000 plus mile engine on here running 10psi of boost no problem, these blocks are durable as shit. Check your timing belt especially, I don't know how many times I see people posting about broken timing belts, other than that, I see very few problems, most people still leak no oil and probably the most common small problem I see is idling problems. So nothing to major, very dependable, it's a Honda for christ's sakes!
