Default 98 ls how many miles until death

so how many miles can an integra go?

is 168k alot for a 98 ls that is completely stock and used as a commuter?

it had its timing belt service done. along with breaks. but thats about all. it should keep running smooth for a while?

If you keep up with the maintenence itll be fine. Do a compression/leakdown test to be really sure how its running.

168k miles on an integra is a lot, but nothing it cant handle. With proper maintenence it should see 250k+ miles just fine.

just depends on how it was driven and how it will be driven by you.

Some guy was selling a 900,000+ mile civic on craig's list. He said it didn't smoke at all and it still had plenty of life left in it. Obviously, all highway miles.

My 99 GSR is my daily. I drive around 500-1000 miles a week. If i dont go on any road trips or anything. My friend wants to go out to california to visit another friend..and my GF wants to go skiing/snowboarding in Colorado....so im sure i'll put a **** load of miles on it before the summer even hits lol. Then I'm sure there will be more trips in the summer Anyway, It has 153k on it now. It runs like it's showroom new. No smoke no nothing. It's still pretty quick too. It's about as fast as my friend's 06 civic Si. I would be more surprised if the car DIDN'T do 300k miles.
