You Sir, bought a fuuuuucked up Civic to begin with. My 96 Civic has 191K Miles (bought it when it had "only" 52K Miles) and it's still strong and getting 30+MPG. Nothing has been replace. At all - other than your basic tune up, that is.

no sir, the civic was fine, but low and behold, those motors(d16y series usdm) have a craptastic oil pump. and if you drive like me, im into the drive it like you stole it type of driving. oil pump is booty on those motors, even honda said it
