Still on original clutch radiator and hoses only normal service items apart from new shock absorbers all round at about 50k miles.
Only "major" item to have packed up was an alternator, 3 times in fact, but the last 2 were second hand and climate control unit, repaired by Kaz.
Track days, at least 6
I've only ever driven it spiritedly since ownership 17 years ago.
Now thats what I call reliable, I think
How about yours then markeyb???

Great to hear! On the contrary, i bought a car with just over 100k miles and a valve had gone; a reminder that you still have to keep an eye on things.
However, the worst car i've seen is a very low mileage one at JDR. The crank had broken where it had simply been started up and warmed up in the garage over a number of years. A very expensive fix which probably outweighed the appreciated value (and the fact the owner barely got to drive it).

Wow. Important to drive them often I think. Revving hard while not under load is also bad I think, alot of people with low mileage garage queens are guilty of this!
Important to warm up properly, rev match and do regualar oil changes I think!

What a bloody waste of a good car.
Better blown up than neglected to death.

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
So anybody going to top the 156k Miles??
