Another update.
Currently around 225,000km. I replaced the A/C compressor clutch around 200,000km. No other problems other than the sunroof motor that sometimes takes a few tries to close.

250,000 kms now. Had to replace the front struts and rear shocks. A little pricey but probably should be expected at these kms/age.

Not going to mention the turbo issues, steering rack leaks and the rest of the story?

Another update, 286000 km's now. I had to replace the starter about a year ago, as well as the front wheel bearings about a month ago. Otherwise the car is still running strong. It still doesn't burn a drop of oil. We got some overnight temps of -25C and it started up like it was new.
It's starting to get some rust bubbling up on the rear fenders so starting to show its age a bit. My plan is to hopefully get it to 300,000kms and then look for a replacement.

I just hit 300,000 a few weekends ago. No new issues to report. Still no leaks and doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes. I'm honestly getting a bit bored and have found myself hoping something major will break so I can get rid of it without feeling guilty LOL. But with new car prices and high interest rates, this thing is saving me a bundle of money every month.

Keep it! How many times have I read here on Carsurvey, people who've said "I should never have sold it." There are times when boredom is a blessing. All the best!

Sitting at 310,000kms now. I've bought a new car, but I decided to keep this old girl and use it for my winter car/dog transport vehicle.
I had to replace the starter again, the replacement starter I put in a few years ago wasn't an Acura part and decided to crap out early. I ordered one from Acura and put it in myself. Lesson learned, stay away from cheap Chinese parts.
I've also been getting the knock sensor code lately (0325, it's a pretty common issue with these cars) so I replaced the sensor (from Acura), but the code is still coming on occasionally. I don't think I'm going to bother troubleshooting this code anymore as it doesn't seem to affect driveability in any way. From what I understand, the code means that the car's computer is having trouble getting a signal from the sensor, not an actual engine knock, so maybe the wiring/harness is damaged somewhere? Turning the car off and then on again clears the code.
Otherwise the car is still running well and hopefully gives me many more years of winter transportation.

Another update, 156,000 km. No issues or repairs. Even the brake pads are original.
I'll be looking for another set of tires in the spring. This last set got about 80,000 km and are worn right out.
