IMO ks are not important as long as the engine has been well maintained. This one has been religiously maintained, and almost never saw VTEC for 160,000Quote:

Would be in for a cruise.
No posting of other peoples cars allowed yuleh
I have seen that video and another which is basically the same. I know it's a Honda and Hondas are great but you can't say that running up the ks on an engine has no affect on it.Quote:

I'm saying if you properly warm up the engine and change the oil/filter every 5,000km from at least 100,000km and keep it topped up, you should be VTECing hard (as long as ur not bouncing it off the limited every chance you get) for up to 400,000kms+
Until the crash, my B16a still felt like new. That's from personal experience.
All engines wear, but it can be minimised with proper care and maintainence.
Yup,sure did Ryan,lost the hotmail and other friends have got probs now too lolQuote:
