What stuff have you replaced so far? I've done the alternator, transmission, both front wheel bearings, every single suspension part in the front with a ball joint, one tranny mount, one motor mount, O2 sensor (warranty), EGR, and timing belt/water pump. Not including the small things like spark plugs, brake pads, rotors, etc. Not too bad for a car that's been driven hard since day one and was the dealership's test drive mule for 75 miles before we bought her.
I just tuned mine up...new NGK V-Power and seafoam engine treatment. I need to get underneath her when it warms up and lube everything up good. I could use a valve adjustment. From the looks of things, this engine will last forever...it's the tranny and suspension that crap out. I can't believe how fast she still is...I raced a new Cougar V6 5-speed on the highway tonight and absolutely kicked his ass several times at high speed.
I did the 90,000 mile tune up on it, timing belt and so on. I have only been doing the normal tune up since then, oil change, spark plugs and wires, air filter, the basic stuff. But I do need to go get a big tune up done like check everything over and replace what needs to be replace at 168,000 miles. I drive 140 a day, 6 days a week. So far my accord is doing good with no prob's (knock on wood).
