Re: Timing Belt Change???
I love the car & fought hard to get ownership from my ex-wife. I have
put lots of new parts into the car already, including an alternator, spark plugs, distributor, battery, etc... I love the car, I would just like to know what I would be looking at dollar wise to get these parts for the car? I am living paycheck to paycheck & I am not sure if it's worth it anymore for a 1993 car. Cxan I afford something newer..no I can not |

The car is a 1993 Civic with 148,000 miles on > it...what do you think....junk it?? How does the car look? Does it run OK otherwise? Any suspension issues? When the timing belt is replaced, it is a given that you should replace the water pump. The part is cheap, and everything else is already apart. Just simple common sense to get it done... If the car looks good, and runs well, then yeah, I would have it fixed. A Honda with good maintenance can easily reach 300k. And since you don't drive it much, you could get several more years out of it... |
