well I just got a 96 coupe... it has around 50k miles on the motor..
what do you guys usually recommend done?

right now i am planning to.....

replace the front axle (goingout)
oil change
bled the brakes and change the pads if need be.

what else?

 

Have you done a spark plug change yet? Check your plug wires and inspect the cap/rotor inside the distributor. Other than that, just check the rest of your fluids, and you'll be all set. (oil, coolant, PS, tranny, and umm.....wiper fluid)

EDIT: Are you talking just maintanence? Or modifications?

B18 swap

 

k20 swap

 

Pretty much top off all fluids with some good stuff.

Get GM Synchromesh Friction Modified for your tranny. $20 for 2 bottles from your local GM dealer.

Flush cooling system and check how your thermostat is operating.

Flush motor oil and get a new filter. Maybe upgrade to Synthetic.

Check all bushings.

Get new OEM plugs and OEM wires. Clean out distributor.

Change out fuel filter for a new OEM fuel filter.

Change airbox filter to a K&N drop-in.

Get all OEM parts from: http://www.slhondaparts.com or http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and you'll be set.

 

i agree, tune up and top off

 

do nothing b/c IT'S A HONDA . I didn't do any tune-up up until 100,000

I feel sorry for you, but most of all, the neglect you give your Honda. Sell it to someone who will take care of it.

Good point on the waste of money on the I/H/E.

This post is a little different. I believe the poster is asking what type of maintenance should be done.

 

watever u do just make sure u do a swap first then work on cosmetics.. that wat i should have done.. wasted all my money and i gotta save up for a motor..
