Hi-milage cars. Who's got 100k miles +

Since Im Canadian I won't really know exactly when I hit 100k miles but I will hit 100 000 kms in the next week which is a hell of a lot for a year and 4 months since I bought it brand new. I drive bout 200km a day 5 days a week then usually more than that on the weekend. Pretty much 98% highway miles.
Just this last week was -30C, drove it in summer at +30, so far nothing has come up. New tires a ways back and just basic maintence. Timing belt soon though as they reccomend it at 96k with the extremes in temperature. By the time I pay it off I will be pushing 500k km's

^^^ Wow....Somewhere around 62k miles. ( I think ) Makes me feel better I'm pushing 40k miles on my 05 ( 2 years in early March ) No warranty left. The RE92's are whining loudly at this point in time, ( rated at 40k BTW ) Looking foward to a quieter new set of Michelins very soon.
I got 110,000 on 2002 DX. Had 4 miles on it when I got it. Change oil every 3k. Timing belt at 75k. Got new control arm bushings at 80k (made a clunking noise when turning). Currently I'm hearing main shaft/input shaft bearing noise when in neutral. Dealer says the bearing needs to be replaced with new clutch for $1700. I'm gonna wait and see what happens.
My 2001 civic lx 4-dr sedan is at 150,000 miles with stock engine, transmission. Only mod is suspension with KYB AGX and Eibach prokie, neuspeed x-brace and front strut bar. Steering is still not perfect, but otherwise everything is fine.

204k
Just made 204,000 on my 2001 Civic LX Sedan... The only problem I have is a cracked exhaust manifold and I am debating if it's even worth getting an OE part since it cost about $520+, brand new.
Any suggestions? I am willing to go an alternate route (headers, etc.) but not sure what I need to do or even get. Is there even a DIY for replacing an exhaust mani with headers???

I just picked up a 01 LX sedan with 117k miles from its origional owner. She took care of all scheduled maint at a honda dealer. The only problem she had with it since 2001 was a dead battery. I noticed 1 broken motor mount and a very small crack in the exhaust manifold before i bought it. Gonna have the mani welded up and replace the motor mount and I should be good to go for another 100k.
01 LX with 103,000 miles.. just changed batterry about 1,500 miles ago.. and my power steering is makin my car sound like it has a battery for an engine.. probably need to get that checked out.. but i get incredible mileage still and never have problems besides the above mentioned.. go honda..

Just turned 150k miles on mine. Yes, original auto transmission.
I checked the valves about a month ago, a few were a little loose, but would of probably been fine. And the orignial battery went dead about the same time.
Hoping it goes 300k.

I've got a 93 ex bought it last sept with around 160k it just hit 178k I've flushed the tranny @ 165k, oil change every 3k.. but because i bought it from someone who doesnt know how to maintaine a car. the crank seal is bad so its leaking a little oil but other than that runs like a champ. Ill stand by honda's every day i had a 90 accord ex that died just shy of 600k had to replace the tranny once that was the only serious problem i had with it. it shattered the 4th cyl connecting rod kept running but then it finally caught breaking the crank...
152000km regular full synthetic, original breaks but replaced clutch and bearings already! runs great still pulls good at 4500 - 5500 r........was in shop aweek ago and learned that the ball joints are leaking a bit so replacing them soon plus new rotors and pads , and a fine crack in one of my pillow mounts , but not an issue everyting is cool ,,KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
178K on my '93 ex coupe 5 spd. Have never replaced the clutch although I may go ahead and do it anyway. Did replace the timing belt as regular maintenance. Only problem I can recall is the distributor which was a recall on the '94s and mechanic said should have been on the '93s as well.
