Default 87 DX hatchback - preventive maintenance?
Just picked up an 87 Civic DX - 5spd manual w/ 119k miles.

She seems to be in excellent condition mechanically. Just wondering if there's anything specific I should look out for with this particular car. Any common problems.. etc.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! I love this car so far - 43 mpg

Timing belt. Even if it's not due because of mileage, it should also be replaced if more than 6 or 7 years old.
