free viper?

my cousin owns 1990 accord....it has 540km....he been the owner for 10 years and it's running like it came off the factory.......that's why i bought a accord!!! cause honda are such great cars!!!!

so car can't show 1 million kms - so it rolls over to miles?
seems retarded!

friends 95 civic has 443xxx running strong!

No, the odometer stopped at 999,999 km's but the trip meter is still working. He manually switched it to mph mode to show that the odometer is still working.

i got bored and googled 1M miles on the odo

another Honda not made in Japan :ilied:

My dad's car is an '04 and is close to 480,000 clicks and runs fine. Of course there's wear and tear stuff but it's been a great car for its mileage.

It all depends on the owner's care for the car, and of course luck is involved as well

Sold my 86 Accord with 420k kms ... Wonder if its still running.

What does your dad do that makes him drive 60,000km a year?

my '90 civic hb just passed 290,000km :)

if it weren't for my messing around (heh) the original engine would have lasted past 300,000km no problem whatsoever.

my 88 4Runner that had 490xxx k's on it.. had to replace the transmission, its still being driven up island

Iono, my 08 TL battery had shit loads of problems. It kept dying on me within 2 years of ownership.

i've seen lots of european manufactureres like Mercedes and BMW that are still running their original batteries.

My 95' 5 series had the original battery until 4 years ago.

My friends 96' 3 series still has the original battery.

I'm actually quite surprised because while working at a shop, the most common battery replacements are honda's (some models use VERY small batteries).

Good to hear yours is still doing well, honda makes great cars.

Funny you should mention that. I actually got two compliments the past two days on my '03 Accord from random people (guys, sadly :okay:) lol

However, I've had a shit load of problems with it. Second gear grenaded and destroyed half the transmission when the broken shards damaged the syncros, radio/HVAC control unit replaced twice, door locks stopped working, serp belt snapped, clutch pedal squeals like a stuck pig even after lubrication, shocks blew at 90k (which, I suppose, is "normal"), etc.

The sad thing is that this is the first car that I've tried to keep mechanically stock for as long as possible. Usually shit goes wrong once I start modifying it... not this time, though.

that was an expensive dyno project. I doubt that was on the road, since the cruise control was on, and zero fluctuation of RPM for 3 mins.

1,000,000 kms % 700kms per tank = 1428 tank fulls

1428 x $60 = 85,XXX $ in fuel

1,000,000 kms % 5000km oil changes = 200

200 x $45 = $9000

1,000,000 kms % 100kms/h = 10,000 hours of dynoing

10,000 hours of continuous driving on dyno without consideration for pauses to do maintenance.

416 days of straight dynoing.



HONDA = DEDICATION

Honda reliability lives on, not so sure about Honda lightweight performance though....

His job requires him to drive long distances on the highway each day, so he's not dynoing. There is a thread about him/car somewhere.

Guys legit, he is delivers medical equipment across states, but his engine has been swapped once (trying to fix a problem that the engine swap didn't solve.) His tranny grenaded at 300,000km I think.

accidently typed my msn conversation into the window and posted...

I would say that the mid-80s to the late 90s was more or less the peak for Honda in terms of reliability.

I had an early 90s Integra for 10 years and it was fairly solid aside from a main fuel relay and brake master cylinder. They're actually very hard to "kill" unless you fail to replace the timing belt - usually rust gets to them first.
