RE: New member @ 240,000 miles
Congrats and welcome to HCF! I've got 260k+ on mine and the odometer has been working intermittently for about 3 months. 99% of the time it doesn't work. Civics are just good dependable cars.[sm=smiley20.gif]

RE: New member @ 240,000 miles
ORIGINAL: gwl
Original owner of a 97 HX with 240,000 miles with original motor. Still getting around 36 to 40 mpg. Just trying to hit the 300,000 miles mark. As you can tell, its my commuter car. I used to drive a lot on my last job. At 240,000 miles, I probably changed the oil around 70 to 80 times - I lost count after the first year. One clutch at 220,000 miles, I replaced the transmission at the same time because it was making noises but it was working fine. I didn't want to pull the trans out again in the near future. I think I changed the front disc brake pads around 4 or 5 times and none for the rears. The body and interior is in excellant shape except for a scuff on the front bumper and my gravel speckled windshield. Oh well, I think I'm due for another oil changed.

All of you have been taking life a quarter mile at a time. So you've done like 960,000 quarter miles [sm=alcoholic.gif]
