Well, after 2 years, I got rid of this Gem... 94LS w/ full GSR Swap.





Had a few issues, and I needed a 4-door, more "grown up" car, and Popped on the first thing I saw day of. Ended up being friends with the guy, and had mutual friends. Anyway. Point being.



1992 LX Complete stock (minus rims as you see, and stereo I'm throwin in) and has 260k miles. Just wonder what you would do in order to hit the 300k and beyond marker? Nothing is wrong, everything completely tight and all records and maintenance up to date. Just trying to get ahead of it really.


So, beyond the obvious (tune-up, timing belt, oil) What would you do?

 

First thing I would do is change all the fluids (coolant, oil, tranny, power steering, etc) and keep the preventive maintenance up to date. Barring some unforseen issue, it should last for a while. My buddy Scott has a mid 90s Accord LX thats pushing 500k miles and is still all-original. He hasn't done anything drastic to it...just kept the maintenace up to date and when something seems a bit 'off', he takes the time to investigate and fix it. Its as simple as that

 

Just keep maintaining it, using quality parts and you should have any major issues.
Obviously things break and need to be replaced, address that when it happens.

My 98 is sitting close to 250K and runs like a champ.

 

you'll regret selling an integra....they all do

Fluid changes and don't beat the **** out of it.


Really though, who cares about that old mill when you can get another for a grand or so installed? Body looks great unless underneath is rotten.

 

Everything is pretty clean, inside is a little beat-up, but not bad considering the year.

I already miss the Tegg, but I don't regret selling it, it needed to be done.

 

The only thing you can do is keep up on the maintenance, and fix things as they break with quality parts. Miles are just miles. It also depends on the type of miles. City driving and stop/go is harder on the entire car than highway driving, even though you put more miles on it doing highway driving.

 

rosewood brown. does that mean you got blessed with the butt ugly vintage red interior? as far as mileage goes, basic maintenance and dont beat the crap out of it.

 

It gets the ladies.

 

all joking aside, it is a super rare color combo. iirc, vintage red only came on the '92 sedan, and only rosewood brown cars.

 

The sedans have drain holes in the doors like the hatches, right? If so, I'd make sure the drain holes in the doors are unobstructed and allow water to drain. Maybe clean out out any sediment that's built up.

 

Interesting, drain holes in the doors. Are they on the bottom?

 

Yes. They provide the drainage path for water that gets past the window seals to drain out. Mine were clogged and,a s a result, I've got rust forming along the bottom of my passenger door. I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial on this site that shows you the best way to clean them and exactly where they are.

 

didn't know about those drain holes gonna have to check them on my sedan. im at 250k right now and still going strong getting close to 40mpgs. all ive done is replace timing belt and fuel pump. I recently upgraded to ground control and koni yellows because the stock suspension was done and I couldn't keep myself from modding the sedan some how haha
