Mile high?
Post by bb1boy » Fri Mar 20, 2015 2:58 pm
I'm having a discussion with a friend of mine, he wants to go as fast as possible for £2k ..he is convinced a Clio 172 is the way forward..
I'm trying to convince him that a B, H or K series VTEC is better - he wants to know how high the miles can go before needing an engine rebuild on one of these VTEC Honda's.. so, what do you all know?
Highest mileage Prelude you know of is??
Highest mileage Honda you know of is??
Highest mileage car you know of is??
(No offence Wurly, but) if any more of my friends buy drokking French cars I'm going to become a hermit.

This was a donor I had once upon a time...


Didn't look like it had been loved at all...



Even Wolverine had had a go...

And the brakes were shot as well, suggesting it hadn't really been maintained at all.
... But the engine was sweet as a nut!... Really smooth running (No tappety noises) and pulled really hard.
