maintenance and gas mileage
I just picked up a 94 civic ex 2door coupe, and it needed quite a bit of maintenance. So far, I've replaced:
Timing Belt
Water Pump
AC Condenser
2x Axels
all 3 accessory belts
spark plugs & wires
engine mounts
alternator
brake pads & rotors
4x tires
The car runs great, and i'm getting it professionally painted at the moment.
I am just using it for a commuter car, any suggestions on increasing mpg's? or any other major parts that should be replaced at 150k miles, that I did not?

Put about 2-3 extra psi of air in the tires for less rolling resistance.
Lighten up the car (remove unnecessary items).
Get a lightweight battery
Lighter wheels

Glad I caught this thread, I myself am doing work on a 92' civic. Just had the brake calipers replaced. I'll also be replacing a Omni Power adjustable damping full body coilover thats busted on the front passenger side. I think Omni will sell me a replacement, I hope. Didn't think of the fuel filter until I saw this, so I'll put that on my next list of item to replace. Any suggestions for a good fuel filter?
