I have 350,000 miles on my 92 civic vx
Does anyone here have more miles than me? It is on the stock vx motor. It runs just fine. I am planning on doing a swap in this thing sooner or later.

Thats insane.. have you owned it the whole time or did you buy it used? Someone must have done a rebuilt on that sometime or another; plastic, rubber and metal just doesnt last that long.

I have 220,000 on mine no rebuild but head gasket is leaking. Still doging the **** out of mine. Runs ok but not the best. At the honda dealer by me they have pictures of cars with 4,5,600k on them still running.

you guys dont remember that million-mile honda accord? had an engine put in it at around 320K miles, and the 2nd one lasted the rest of that time (around 700k) before he traded it in. i think they gave him a new car for it.

Re: I have 350,000 miles on my 92 civic vx (eg6si)
My very first motor in my old 92 Civic LX only made it to about 170,000 cause my mom never took care of it, and I was stupid and drove the **** out of it 
Hopefully I can get a motor to go for that long one of these days...

Re: I have 350,000 miles on my 92 civic vx (95civicturbo)
the funny thing is, is that Honda expects that at least out their cars. They'll say Thats Great and leave it be, unless like posted above about the million miles.
My girlfriend's 87 Sentra had 302k on it before she gave it to her brother! she called Nissan and told them, and they weren't as excited as we were when it hit 300k. I expect at least 200 out of any Honda, but 300 should be easy with regular tune ups and "normal" driveing.
