how many miles does it have?
picked up a 91 accord lx 2 door yesterday, and i'm thinking it's going to be a great car.
a little over 215,000 miles on it, and i'm making a list of things to fix / replace on it in the near future. I'm open to suggsetions on everything I post, BUT i want to keep it looking nice and stock.
plans include....
********************
- Oil change. 3qts of 5w 30 and 1qt of Lucas stablizer. *i have been using lucas in all my cars and bikes since i was a kid*
- tires. *i'm open for brands! suggest something thats going to stop it in the snow, but not howl on the highway.
- aluminum wheels maybe. again, want to go with stockers.
- drive it!
known problems...
***********************
- plastic guide on drivers side window is missing. anyone have a part number?
- e-fan isnt shutting down. I'm thinking water is somewhere it shouldnt be after washing it. I did wd40 everything visible after the wash to protect the wiring.
- muffler MISSING!. the first thing we noticed after getting in the car was it was just a little loud. I checked under it today and there is no muffler near the tail. the pipe after the cat looks good, but the last 4-6 inches before where the muffler should be. i'm going to need a new section of pipe and muffler. i think it's 1&3/4 so i'm open for suggestions. *NOTE: i have my own welder and pipe bender, so i'm thinking a $30 muffler from Jegs like i have on one of my trucks.
- missing plugs for plastic grill next to windshield wipers. yep. thats the best way i can describe it.
- antena... motor runs, but the antena remains stationary. suggestions?
- i'm thinking one of the cv joints is going to give me problems in the near future. i can hear it poping when in a tight turn. anyone have experince and thoughts on the replacement of one?
that should cover it!

RE: how many miles does it have?
i'm unsure of the last time the timing belt was replaced... i'm going to do a search for that thread next.
but a fresh fill of transmission fluid is on the agenda.
