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.

in the km 182 000 : Thumbup:
year of the production 1987
70,000
Currently repairing a broken valve, replacing timing belt, head gasket, valve cover gasket, and rebuilding carb.
550k and counting putting in the 3rd transmission.
Bought my 4 doors SE-i last week from a millionaire with 151k on it :]
It's interesting how a graph of that answers makes an almost perfect bell curve.
Just turned 193k. Fixed the A/C and threw on some Coopers, bone stock other than that. Still runs great.
95 civic 270k engine, dunno on body somewhere between 250-300 id say
88 crx, 180k body, 305k engine
soon 85 accord, 103k
1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
I am at about 283,000kms now... Need to go back and find my old posts, I bet my car has driven less than 10,000kms in the past few years, so sad ...

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.

my last 89 lxi had over 400000 miles when it got rearended last dec but the 89 sei i have now has 325000 miles runs great and i transfered everything from my lxi to my sei and then had it painted black
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.
272,000 on the old girl. Still runs strong.
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.
1988 Accord LX-i 2-door coupe, 205K miles, updated 1/4/18.
