A pipe fell off a semi and put a hole the size my fist in the radiator ($160).
They didn't put the reserve hose on correctly so it all leaked out one day ($20 which they paid for).
Complete brake system ripped itself to pieces.
Rotors and calipers ($1,050).
Main fuel relay went out ($110).
ECU is failing slowly.
I've had this car since I was 17. To be completely honest, I've beaten the living crap out of it racing trucks other Hondas, Toyotas and anything that I would want to. Only lost to a 99' Z24, probably cause I peeled out for 15 feet. Mind you I do not race Z28's or Accord V6's. No real point now is there? For 1.6L rated at 110HP it's rather peppy.
I swear the car will start in any condition. Remember one day when it was around -50, cranked twice and started just fine. While my friends '98 Pontiac GTP just wouldn't start.
Paided 3 grand for it. Bought it at the same time my sister bought her Mazada 626 LX (5 grand). Hers is dead now and had constant problems, and mine is still kicking. Hondas, are the most reliable cars I've ever come across. Too bad my ECU is going to die soon, have to put her to rest and get a Talon.
Hi
I think that you should try to find a second hand ECU (we have some here), so that your Accord could run over 500 000 miles (!)
