How many EG Owners Have High Mileage?
Just wonderign how many of you out there have high miles on your eg's (EH2's) and are still modifing them?
I've got 296,000km myself and I'm spending the money to do it right.
So who's with me? Miles don't mean ****.

Re: How many EG Owners Have High Mileage? (Mrfirefox)
My 1992 Si had 150,000 miles on it when I sold it for $5,000.00!!!
I bought my 1992 CX with 160,000 miles on it.
Since then I've replaced all 4 corners of suspension including all the lower and upper control arms with Intgegra GS-R ones with 27,000 miles. I also popped in the energy suspension poly bushing master set while I was at it.
All 4 corners of brakes came from the same low-mileage GS-R, but I added new Brembo slotteds with new pads, and stainless Earl's lines as well. The booster and M/C came from an RS with 44,000 miles on it too, so all the brakes are virtually new.
Of course the engine and tranny were replaced with lower mileage Integra Type R crapola, and the tranny has about 20 miles on the fresh rebuild.
The paint is less than a few months old and has never been left parked in the sun for more than an hour at best - it's always in a garage, and I never leave it unattended.
The wheels/tires are new as well.
The seats are 1997 GS-R seats.
The only things original in this car are the unibody, dashboard, tail lights, side glasses and hatch, and some of the brake hardlines.
The hood, fenders, bumpers, trims, mirrors, headlights, etc. are all brand new Honda pieces.
So really the unibody is about the only thing left with high mileage.
