She's going on 53K and still racing Awesome & Strong for an 01!!!

I clean her, feed her properly with Amaco 92, and change her with Mobil 1 Syn 5-30. Plus she loves hugging curves & corners with her 2 month old new Azenis.

I ve got 10400 and it needs its first set of tires. It also needs a valve adjustment which concerns me. Otherwise its perfect. Im going to start autocrossing this next season. I always use Mobil 1 5w-30 and BP 92 gasoline.

Like a swiss watch!
45K (34K boosted)
Always synthetic oil, always drive it like I stole it, and it runs like a proper Honda should.

I've got 111, 275 on m '98. I beat the crap out of it & it's never had more than the valve cover off the block. She's still tick'n all the way to Expo 4!

btw - 01ITR640 - if you're in the KC area, I can do your valve job for you. Piece o'cake...then you'll know how to do it from then on.

96k kicking along after 10k ago getting new rings, always used synthetic oil, wonder if there is any correlation.
no

I would guess that without synthetic, whatever caused the excess ring wear would have caused them to let go much sooner. I would guess over fueling is the main cause

57,000; running like a top. What a great car. Have never had a hint of trouble (the antenna occasionally stays 6 inches or so up when I turn the radio off). I just can't think of another car I'd like to have (that I can afford).
Just put on a set of Falken 512's for all-weather, around town driving; great price; jury's still out on how I feel about them. They feel comfortable and stick pretty well....but it's too early to tell.

Probably, i have only recently gotten some fuel management. Do you run organic oil?

Personally I run and have always ran synthetic in the ITR - no leaks.
