I have a 88 Civic DX HB with over 330K miles. The car is still on its original engine and trans. I have replaced the wter pump, timing belt (three times since I have had it) and starter since I had it and thats it. The thing still runs like a champ but burns oil. But at 330K, a quart every two weeks is nothing.
I have owned this pile of heap and another 89 Si and both are bulletproof. The 89 hit a cow head on and still ran fine....although severly pulling to the left. For an econobox, the 88-91 civic HB is a great deal. most could be picked up for less than 4K, in decent condition. My last HB I bought for $500 is still my daily driver.
