a good engine, properly taken care of will usually live past 200K... My friend had a 1993 lude with 140K and this is what he ran into. He first noticed that about once he got to about 160K the car was not as responsive or "powerful" as before. Since the owner before nvr used synthetic oil before it was too late to switch over and he was forced to change to QS High mileage. That restored everything back to the way it was before. The he changed timing belt, had to change some different hoses b/c of signs of wear and tear. At about 200K, the car started to leak and burn oil. Nothing major but still a problem. Then my friend wanted to get into tuning, since 200K is high to add any form of forced induction he decided to rebuild his engine. To tell u the truth honda engines seem to be very reliable and last long. Unless u want to get into tuning it can last u well into 200K. And is the suspension original or has to been replaced or anything?
