R with 50K miles.

What are some big upcoming spending?

some I could think of:

- Timing belt
- Rotors
- Pads
- all fuild to be replaced

 

Water pump when the timing belt is done - Shouldn't need this stuff done till 90K-105K miles

 

wheel alignment ?

 

Shouldnt need anything at 50K.

Follow the service manual... will need a bunch of stuff at 60K. Timing belt/water pump at 105K.

 

Do you have any maintenece records for the car?
If I purchased a used car I would immediatly do the following (more for my own peace of mind).

Change oil and filter
Replace spark plugs and possibly wires
New cap and rotor
Flush brake fluid
Valve adjustment
Close inspection of brake system and suspension

 

I wouldn't think you'd need anything beyond what Flux has suggested under the guise of normal maintenance.

wtf?

muffler bearings?

 

Ya also need to change the headlight fluid along with the muffler bearings

 

Rotors and pads really shouldn't be an unexpected expense, and they are cheap anyhow. T belt and W Pump as stated are fine until 90k at least. At 60K I'd suggest the normal stuff and the fuel filter even though it's not required.

Personally, I have over 80k on my car and all I've ever done is fluid changes and valve adjustments.

hahaha.... reminds me of the headlights fuild.

Good stuff. =D thanks for the heads up guys!

 

change all 4 wheel bearings, why would their be 4 muffler bearings on a car, i hope that was a bad joke...
mine were changed at 65 000 km's and where ready to go, so don't expect to keep yours too long if they havent been changed, acura garantied them for 5 years or 100 000 km's after buying my car cuz they knew about the weakness

Only if they're bad.

67K on my car, wheel bearings are fine.

 

my wheel bearings could use a change, its in the list of things to do before exbl0. 50K here.

 

I'd change the T belt and water pump sooner personally. Even though I was running slightly more aggressive cams (Skunk stage I's, stock valvetrain) my jumped timing at 75k and nicked some valves. You'll probably be perfectly fine, but the timing belt is cheap insurance.

My wheel bearings have 93,000mi including TONS of dirt roads and are still fine.

 

&lt;insert random joke about theft here&gt;

It's very strange that the replacement of the fuel filter is not specified by Honda as part of the maintenance schedule. I agree with Dave, do it with the 60K service.

Alabama dirt roads + me being bored = R losing any value for potential resale
