Here's the deal..

My accord ( 94 stock stick) is get'n a bit long in the tooth, and I could drop around $300 on keepin it keepin on.

suggestions?

i was going to at leat get the timeing belt and water pump done (dont think it's been done yet... opps ) and having the valve.. uhh rocker ... whatever re done.. its tickin' a bit much

i am not real sure how much that will cost (it's out of my DIY skill) hopefully il have some cash left over for your suggestions...

oh yea, I do drive my car hard, I delivery drive for Pizza Hut.. at least 4 hr's a day, so take that in to consideration

Thanx guys.. sorry bout the spellin, never got any of that high class book lernin

 

Thanx guys... hfawk:

 

Your subject makes no sense to your post which is even worse since your post makes no sense either. h:

 

uhh....put it like this.....you either spend 300 to get your car fixed or you could drive around and f*** it up even more and spend over 1,000 to fix.

 

I just wanted to know what i should do to a high mileage car (it is getting old). I want to keep the car (i don't want it to die). Other than the examples i gave (timeing belt and adjust the valve system) what else is there that should be done to it? (real help preferred)
The car has 180 thousand miles


i hope i made this post clear enough, sorry if the last post was not...

thanx for any help

im tellin u now, get that timing belt replaced ASAP...i picked up an acura integra 5 speed with 135k miles on it, timing belt broke and blew the head...doesn't matter too much cuz i just bought the thing as a second project car anyway...but since that car is your primary driver, if u blow the timing belt, u're lookin at a minimum of 1400 damage...so get it done

 

I'd invest the money into maintenance and keep it going. Assuming that the car hasn't been completely neglected all these years, it is certainly not at the end of it's rope. I've driven Accords w/ well over 200k miles that run fine. Get the timingbelt/waterpump/oil seal/balance shaft belt replaced and anything else that might need attention. It will last at least another 5 reliable years.

 

Do everything ---------^he said.---------^

 

Thanx for the info guys! are ther any oil or gas products that you rocommend to clean it out, or slow it down burning oil (about a qt a month)?


Thanx guys,

Better-Bob

 

u could try those "stop the burning" products in the oil related sections int eh car parts stores.

not sure if that helpes though, your engine is almost screwed over if its burning oil already at 180k.
