My 94 VTEC has 118k miles on it and still pullin strong. I VTEC quite a bit too. Just keep up your maintenance and you'll be fine.

I have 89,000 miles on my 95 VTEC. No complaints. Got it 12.28.99, with 50,376 on it.. I like to drive. It's been on lots of road trips.

Only problem is.. it's in my garage with a hole in the radiator.. it's been there for over a week, I'm just waiting for a new friggin radiator now. Grr.. I wanna drive it!

If well taken care of Honda engines will outlast their owners.

i have ONE problem that is major. It overheats every so often.. probably radiator is old, needs to be replaced.. it also burns some oil, but what can you expect from an engine w/ that mileage that hasn't been rebuilt.

I've done all the bolt ons, clutch, some head work a long time ago, and suspension stuff.

Still runs like a champ. If yu just maintain your car(oil,plugs,wires,valve adjustments) the thing will run forever. Spend a little now, save a lot later.

Buy quality parts, and quality lubricants and fluids, and you'll be good.
