Default My girl has a '99 EX sedan, 5-speed, with ABS

My girl bought a '99 EX sedan with 5-speed and ABS about a year ago. Had 65k on it then has about 80k now. She want to take the car to 200k and I will need you help to do so. I have replaced the whineing TSB tensioner pulley. Put a K&N in it, and changed all the fluids except for teh brake fluid. THAT IS NEXT!

I really hope it goes alot longer then 200k! Mines at 155 and I plan to keep it going until 300 atleast until I do a swap. Body is in mint shape and any rust I find I will keep fixed.

Ya, I have Rustcheck the underbody and suspension of the car to keep the rust at bay. (they use a lot of salt here in New England![:@])

If the car stays in good shape she will keep it for as long as it runs good and I can depend on it. I had a '93 Toyota Corolla with 320k on it with NO major repairs!!

change the timing belt and water pump within the next 10-15k. even though ive done it in the past, i wouldnt recommend the cheap belts or pumps. just get a genuine Honda part.
