I bought my 1993 LX 7 weeks ago with 225,000 on it. Very well documented repair receipts, everything in great shape....$1500. It is amazing that an 18 y.o. car with this amount of miles isn't burning any oil, and gets 27/32 mpg city/hwy. I will keep it as long as it will last me, and I am sure that will be a good while longer....

Bought the car w/88K on it, keep oil changed, replaced timing belt and water pump at 99K.
I'm using oil, at about 1 qt. per 1000 miles. Getting about 320-350 miles per tank on combo driving. Try to keep tires properly inflated. Rotate and balance every 5-6K. Have changed transmission fluid, coolant change. Just ordered an ULTRA SCAN today to see what happens. In the process of making my own CAI, extending it to the front of the radiator.

Your better off putting the filter down into the fender well. Colder air..putting the filter up by the radiator is defeating the purpose of a cold air intake. The intake charge will have much hotter air then just simply using a short ram intake.
Back on topic....bought my 93 with 60k pulled the engine out at 210k still was running strong.
Had a few other cb7's with h22 swaps boosted f22a. My boosted f22a lasted longer than I expected for the amount of boost abuse I did to it. 302hp 287tq. pretty much stock engine and trans lasted to 340,000 added turbo at 120k.

I bought my 98 at 192,XXX and I'm just creeping past 207,500 now. Motor runs amazing. I have a good list of things to fix on the car because of an idiot mechanic/ an inexperienced driver and because the guy before me cut the springs and now an axle and wheel bearing are almost gone. Besides all the work it needs though I'm more than sure that after i fix it all ill be able to get his car past 300K no problem
