I always assumed from your posts that you were one of the guys who put some serious time behind the wheel. I judge by your posts though that you do make all the miles you log really count. In all seriousness, I'm at 30k now and hope to keep the car forever. I don't know why, but I just love the car. It makes me obscess over knicks and dings, makes me more meticulus with maintenance than I've ever been, makes me want to mod, makes me worry about theft . . . . and somehow I still love her more than anything else I've ever driven and hope to keep it till the chassis falls apart . . . and then I"ll probably just JB Weld it back together and keep going, lol.

How has it held up over the years?
It is as strong as the day I got it (used back in 3/02). I keep after it by doing all the maintenance myself. Besides the expected wearing of tires, I have done the following:
1. Brakes @ 75k
2. Clutch @ 84k
3. Radiator @ 128k
4. Catalytic Converter @ 156k
...oh and I'm on my 3rd top. First replacement was on Honduh warranty. Second time was on my dime, so I converted to a Robbins canvas w/ glass.
I drive it hard all the time, and it sees VTEC every time I turn the key (after a proper warmup, ofcourse).
This is one of the toughest and best engineered little cars I've ever experienced.

Hockey, I thought I rememebr you saying once you had a diff failure? Am I thinking of someone else?
I wouldn't mind doing a 4.57 set though. Actually that is at the TOP of my "big ticket" mod list.
