High mileage ITR

Water Pump, timing belt, plugs and wires, fan belt. Besides that u r fine cause u drive like Miss Daisy. This kid, my friend, shifts at like 3,000 rpm every time. He is an ecellent driver, and takes care of his rare car really well. when he opens it up he is careful as ****.

Maybe this one did:
Hondas don't require maintenance. They last forever only with oil changes every time the maintenance light comes on. And make sure you're topped up on oil when you hit the track. That's about it. If you're really cautious do the scheduled maintenance that's listed in the owner's book, but really it doesn't matter. It's nice to do your own maintenance every couple months or so when it's a nice day, but it's not necessary in the winter, cuz it's too bloody cold.
Seriously, just take whatever the service manual says to do and multiply the intervals by two. Service intervals are what they are so the dealershits can make money. It never hurts to change the oil though. Keep doing those every 3-5k if you're **** about those kinds of things. At least do oil changes before going to the track and that should be about it.
edit: do timing belt changes still at 60k or 100k or whatever it recommends. Cheap insurance.

Re: High mileage ITR (B18C5)
Changing the timing belt at the maximum recommended interval is hardly cheap insurance on an interference engine. There is a whole host of factors that determine timing belt life and wear. If it hasn't been done yet and your car is at 90K then get it changed.
