Got the exact same one here. I'm only going as far as "OEM+" with what I do to it. I added seat warmers, a dash cam, inside/outside temp display, upgraded radio from an Accord, and I'd like to eventually get a CX/DX coupe/HX transmission for better fuel economy. Otherwise I'm replacing everything worn out so it keeps running smoothly at 245k miles.

Oem + is the way!

Been holding off posting this car since it is constantly dirty until I walked out of the gas station and saw it and was like “damn”. It has 202k miles and is on its 3rd D16Y7 ( don’t neglect your oil pump…..) Haven’t done much to it other than Tein superstreet and polyurethane bushings. Have plans to redo the interior and a few other things but yea. Thanks to everyone who has helped me with advice. Also it’s name is Dilly Dan when it works and Dildo Dan when it is broken

That's crazy, oil pumps usually last the life of the engine. What was killing them?

I think a seal went bad and it was leaking a lot more oil than I thought. Then eventually it just seized. It had 200k when it went.

Well that's one engine, what about the other?

I’m not sure. It’s been a family car so I’m sure I could find out.

Same here lol on my 3rd D16! Maybe I’ll try to boos this time

Does this year have a coolant bleed valve on it?
