    200k Miles

    I haven't visited the site in a while, but my Honda hit 200k miles about a month ago. The motor still runs fine, but needs a valve adjustment. I've owned the car for 4 years now, and is the first car I've ever owned.

    The factory parts have lasted a very long time. The original clutch was replaced at 197k miles. I wanted it to last for 200k miles, but didn't really want to become stranded when it went out. The factory rotors were also replaced as they had become thinner than the minimum tolerance. It's on the 3rd set of CV axles. The first replacement was with a cheaper aftermarket part, and only lasted about 12 months. The second replacement was with a Honda remanufactured part.

    I've installed a CAI with bypass, and replaced the steel wheels with the aluminum SE-i ones. It also has a Pioneer stereo & speakers. The rest of the car is stock. It gets 27 mpg with 87 octane Arco gas, and the engine still revs freely up until the limiter.

    Also, I bought myself a newer 240SX, but I'll post more about that when I have pictures.

    You oughta know, Jared. You got 500K on yours yet?

    Oops, just saw your sig. I'm at 132K I think. These cars are getting MORE respect for durability as newer Accords are starting to have issues MUCH sooner. People realize these cars can be bullet proof if maintained.

    Honda Rules!- My car is in kilometers, but I've got 325k on it. Its too bad its auto, although I always think of my 1st car(1980 accord hatch) that had the 'hondamatic' tranny.. that thing was a blast when I was 16. Come to think of it, I had 324K on it when that old lady Tboned and totaled it. Damn old people can't drive!
    I keep telling my friends to go honda; our cars can outlast the energizer bunny!
    The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard;
    And the stupid people are breeding......

    I'm at close to 80k and If the body holds out I think the car will run forever. And when I see posts like this it makes me really happy to own my 3G.
