Now, in February of 2004, the car has over 150K miles and it still runs perfectly. The interior has fewer rattles now than some brand new cars I've had the displeasure of driving.

There is now a rattle in the header at ~3700 RPM due to the inner header wall coming loose (this is common on Preludes as well), but this is a non-issue. In normal operation, the engine lives at 4K or above anyhow, and I can't be bothered to fix this.

The clutch, water pump, and timing chain (or belt) were changed at 90K. Shocks soon thereafter. These are expected consumables, like brake pads. Of the non-consumables, not a single thing has broken in all this time.

Oil changed at 7-10K miles; I use Castrol GTX (dino juice) mainly and Mobil 1 (synthetic) sometimes.
