Default I hate major maintenance

I just did a major maintenance on my poor 94 accord, ~180K miles.

1/. Complete timming change - Had to replace the crank pulley as well, the old one cracked. I was about to get the complete Unorthodox SS package (crank, alternator, and PS) but it'd cost me $250. So I bought a used crank pulley at a junkyard for 80 bucks .
2/. Major tune up.
3/. Front brake disc & pads.

All together cost me like 600 bucks for these OEM Honda parts

I'm broke. Now it's the lightning issue as well. Anyone has a spare OEM projector that you don't use (that'd fit D2S bulbs) that want to sell, please let me know. I'm looking for one to do the retrofit on my accord

In terms of maintenance, spending a few hundred on a rare occasion is better than not spending any money and letting your car fall apart. If you take care of the Honda, then it will last forever. I have over 216k on mine, and it still runs strong.

Thanks man. I'd wait and order, but I need the car like within 24 hrs. Gotta go to work and all, that's why I had to use the used one.

I don't think you can buy as a package, more likely, you have to buy them separately.
