What's it with guys who bitch and moan when ppl want to see how reliable their ride is despite pushing it hard??? You can't do it with a domestic. I live in Vegas, each summer, there's always a car stuck on the road overheated somewhere. I always smile when I notice most are domestics, while I whiz by in my import.

So, with all that high mileage, what broke? What have you replaced so far? I'm sure most of us would like to know so they will know what they MIGHT expect in the future.

My last ride was a 93 Celica GT, drove it to 144,000 miles and only replaced the starter, exhaust manifold, cv boot, and replaced the water pump/timing belt at 100k....preventive measure. The exhaust manifold was a design flaw...it overheated and cracked after taking 3 of my friends and I to Tijuana...buddy replaced it for me for $20. If my 99 GSR holds that well then I'd be a new Honda/Acura convert. My gf's 94 Accord EX has had 3 radiators, 2 water pumps, leaky oil pan, clutch replaced, new rotors every 1-2 years, 2 cv boots, at 150,000 miles. Needless to say, I am not impressed by Honda reliability. Got my fingers crossed on my new Teggy. Peace.

 

Must have been a Friday car. It also makes a big difference who does the work on your car. I will never let another shop touch my car again, especially not the dealer.

 

holy ****, i am guessing she wasnt using OEM parts

 

radiator 48k
trunk latch sensor 38k
that is about all the time i have had mine.

 

Clutch master cylinder -56,000

and that's it so far.

 

Radiator 2 months ago with 150k
Oh and those trunk struts don't hold my hatch up anymore..

 

did mine at 59,000.. thats it except for maintenance.

 

clutch master cylinder at 107000kms and timing belt and waterpump at 96000kms or so....

hopefully nothing else for a while!....

 

I bought my '95 GS-R new. Besides fluids & spark plugs...

50k (miles) rear brake pads
60k tires
76k rear rotors
82k middle exhaust section
96k battery
100k rear calipers
104k front brake pads & rotors, timing belt
106k A-pipe buzzing, so I got DC header
108k brake master cylinder, rear pads

wow i didnt realize so many peps replaced the clutch maste cylinder...

i had to get new rear calipers cuz the salt killed them

 

66,000 miles total.

Replaced right turn singal bulb.

 

My clutch master cylinder went out as well at about 15K... It was under warranty, they fixed it for free and have never had a problem since... I did timing belt and water pump at 90K, I now have 125K, and still haven't even replaced a cv boot... ....

clutch - replaced at 38k
transmission - replaced at 50k (synchro problems)
clutch master cylinder - replaced at 60k
clutch - replaced at 73k
radiator - replaced at 78k (this past week)

who knows whats to come in my future. I hate the clutch system in the G3 integra, btw.

 

two clutches already?? i don't think there is a problem with the clutch system....i think it hates you.

 

it does hate me, and i have a very good shop put it in each time....the first two were the OEM ones....i now have an Exedy and it seems to be doing much better than the OEM clutches. I'm even nice to my clutch...i dont power shift, i never ride it...i never hold my foot down on it at lights, ehhhhh but its better now so im somewhat happy with it. now my coolant system is all fucked because of the crappy plastic tanks on the stock radiator, got a new radiator, new hoses and all that junk and am putting it on this week. if my car has anymore problems im going to freak the **** out. it only has 78k on it i shouldnt be replacing anything other than wear items, which i do pretty religiously with the best parts.

Also normal maintenace items of:

Radiator - replaced at 80K
Alternator - replaced at 78K
Power antenna -74K
Fuel indicator light - 45K

 

tires, clutches, brakes are drivers fault, not something that broke on the car......

 

hahahahahahahahaha, everyboy with a G3 integra manual knows that the OEM acura clutches are POS's and the springs sieze up at no fault to the user. the clutch master cylinder is also another part that goes out with no fault to the user on the G3 integras.

 

<----- 95 integra ls

-120k miles
-blew motor
-phucked up sychos
-3 clutches
-snapped ball joints
-6 axles broken
-a lotta dead batteries
-and a LOT of minor problems

 

If there was no fault Acura would be paying right?
