Re: how many miles, what problems u had?
Umm...
92K
2001 LX
5 -speed
Cooked an alternator on the dyno, replaced 2nd and 3rd gear sets along with reverse, crazy wiring issues, killed a set of fuel injectors, lots of rattles and squeaks traced down, 2 speakers have died (still dead), torn 3 motor mounts, 2 dead map sensors, 1 dead TPS, secondary o2 sensor dead from rich conditions under boost, popped a head gasket from boost, blown charge pipes off numerous times, both wheel bearings replaced, a couple wheel studs
Dezod turbo setup, y8 intake manifold, 3" exhaust, tokico blues and springs, ingalls stiffy, stainless clutch lines, battery relocated etc. etc. the list goes on, I'm just too lazy to list them all, but that's the gist of it.

Re: how many miles, what problems u had?
2001 LX
Automatic
106,000 miles
Done:
-Replaced rear compliance bushings (rear suspension squeak)
-Replaced numerous wheel studs (swear I didn't cross-thread them)
-Replaced both front wheel bearings (one may have been from accident, other from dealer incompetence replacing front wheel stud)
-Replaced ELD
-Replaced throttle body after TPS went bad
Not Done:
-Front compliance bushings are shot
-Center console/shifter light out
-Driver's window doesn't auto-down (motor's also way too loud)
-Stupid center air vents start rotating upward when car interior gets hot
-Whatever the hell's causing my right rear suspension thump on rebound
Upgrades:
Not many - wheels in stock size and ATE front rotors with Akebono ceramic pads (all stock size)
Does have fewer rattles than my mom's 2008, though...
