Im the third owner of it. I actually just got it off my friend. I've been doing most of the maintenance on it for the past 5 years. She had put over 200k on it and still hasn't changed the clutch. haha, just goes to show with some care these cars can go for a long time!

Keep It Clean
For a honda 200k isn't enough for a rebuilt, only if there is a problem such as bent valves, bad rings, bad internal bearing(s) or it threw a rod lol at 200k miles if its fine then change the oil more often, and another 20k will be due for a fresh rebuild.

In your case if the car is still running fine, then drive it and save for a rebuild and get some cams, high compression pistonts, better head studs, new valves, and everything alse that comes with a rebuild...but I would trick it out since your going into the internals..

Thanks again guys! I do my best trying to keep her clean. I was gonna keep on driving it while saving some cash. Then when the time is right rebuild with oem type r pistons and a fresh port and polish on the head along with the usual parts. Not looking for anything super crazy just a nice improvement in power. We'll see though, I also want to freshen up the suspension with new bushings since these ones are beginning to deteriorate.

Thanks! It was kept both inside and out. Now it stays inside all the time though. Its pretty much all stock but here is a interior pic and engine. The driver side seat is starting to get a little tired at the bolster though.
