maintenance question
I bought my 96 integra se approx 2 years ago when it had 72k miles. I am unfamiliar with what work was done on the vehicle before, since the dealer had no information. What maintenance (i.e. radiator flush, tran service) or anything do you think I should do. I have just under 92k miles now. By the way, if temperature matters as far as the radiator concern, I live in Las vegas where it is 110 degrees

Re: maintenance question (94civicx)
I would do the following:
Radiator flush (run Simple green and water thru it to get all the gunk out of the system) Its none foaming and a detergent so it cleans well.
Valve adjustment
Check front main seal and all seals for leaks
New spark plugs (ZFR5J11) or (ZFR6J11) (heat range 5 or 6 dependant on driving style)
Cap and rotor
Check the plug wires for cracks or splits and replace as ness.)
Check timing
Timing belt (check for cracks and wear)
Check motor mounts for cracks or signs of being broken
Check axles for cracks or leaks
Check tran. seals for signs of leakage
Anything anyone else wants to add?

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Pitcrew »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> Timing belt (check for cracks and wear)</TD></TR></TABLE>Every 90k replace the timing belt, even if it looks OK. Inspection isn't too reliable, unless you inspect the belt every few hours... Lots of people like to replace the waterpump at the same time since it's driven by the timing belt.
Auto trans?? I think Honda doesn't like you to do a 'flush' like some shops do. Just drain & fill fluid every what? 30k?
Manual trans? Change fluid every 30k.
Replace brake (clutch?) fluid & anti-freeze every 2 years.
Air filter every 30k (unless you've got K&N or something...)
Brake pads & tires are inspection things. You can actually see when they're getting worn out. And their life depends too much on your driving.
Alternator/PS/AC drive belts?
