As the title says, I hit 100,000 miles on the Ack today. I say it does feel a little weird....it's like the car hit 'being old.' Good thing these Honda engines last a while. Ya so I pulled over right away as soon as I saw it switch and took a pic on the cell.
So, any maintenance tips to consider after reachin this milestone?
Count me in the club fellas!

Timing belt change is a major one.

My 85 Civic ran to 302,083 miles. I sold it to a friend at 289,000 miles for $800 and he drove it for a year before twisting the cam and hatcheting the body. I was sorry to see it go. Great storm chasing car. No worries about hail in that thing. It was my BEATER mobile.

My 90 Integra was running strong at 193,944 when it was hit from the rear and totaled. Boy I hated that, it was paid off, as was the Civic. Still owe $3,500 on the CL. Man I hate car payments.

I recently hit 120,000 but my belt was replaced at 90,000. Only thing that sucks is that my tranny is on its last legs... not looking forward to that

This sweetheart has 150,000 as of last week. I feel like I finally broke her in!! I used to trade cars if I sneezed, but I am way too attached to my Inza Pearl Red sweetheart!!

Subbuzz, nice shot and I couldn't have said it better myself. I drive this car routinely 160 miles+ each way, central PA to Teterboro, and I know she'll always get me home!

I'm at 155K myself and still running strong. I would prolly add change tranny fluid. Btw, I've been running Amsoil on this puppy since 20K so I'm sure its contributed to its longevity. I wouldn't recommend that to any car over 30K though.

196,xxx. pretty close to 197.

Dont know much about the history. I just know it needs the EGR cleaned out. Maybe a new O2 sensor. That should fix the horrible gas mileage. Im lookin to sell it soon. i need a better car for gas. i it was better for gas so i could keep it.
