-Rear trailing arm bushes become squeaky/creaky
-Clutch master & slave cylinders eventually develop slow leak
Some of these are normal for any car, in my experience a very strong and reliable car.
how would you go about maintaining the sunroof tracks?Quote:

Also check for leaks on the cam seals and around the VTEC solenoid area.
amazing, my 95 dc2 has had ALL the above mentioned problems minus the thermostat going cold. extremely reliable car, one thing you'lll also probably run into is the hosing around the radiator bulging. But this'll happen to most cars.. just make sure to fix/replace as soon as u spot bulging.
squeaky clutch
Wipe any old grease and dirt from tracks and rollers, apply fresh multi purpose grease or Castrol pH zinc (yellow stuff).Quote:

Mine has squeaked for a while now, no problem that I can see, just annoying
