- Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:06 am #128585 I'm looking to pick up a EF9 si with a D-series engine in it.

I'm gunna keep the engine bone stock aside from a intake and headers/exhuast

My question is its probably going to have 100,000+ miles on it, and me and my buddy are planning on making alot of trips to vegas and back this summer, so it needs to be reliable for 400+ miles of driving at a time.

What parts in a D-Series should i replace with lots of miles to make sure i keep a clean and healthy reliable car to just have to cruise.

Not looking to make this thing fast, reliability is the key.

timing belt, water pump, i woulld replace all the rubber hoses, all the upper gaskets including the HG, all the belts, "tune up"- cap,rotor,plugs,plug wires,fuel filter..

get the injectors cleaned flush all the fuilds and stay on top of them
and your car should run like a champ

- Mon Jul 06, 2009 8:36 pm #128840 agreed^^^ and cv axles also.... i love efs i was actually wanting and ef hatch and just kinda fell into my eg lol....but im about to start looking for another if you have a good price range you can find some clean ones out there my buddy and i found a si with 50k miles and was mint some old lady bought it new in 90 lol

- Mon Jul 06, 2009 8:37 pm #128842 also you probably wont find one with a d16 they usually have d15s

- Tue Jul 07, 2009 2:08 am #128933 nice im a EF'er at heart!! lol it was my first car and i will always own one as long as i live. but at the moment i dont. but im saving for a EF9 (real deal JDM)

my first was a Dx but i prefer a Si and you can find them around the same price range if you search well/long enough. Ive found some super clean ones, original owners, everything mint!! ..nothing like a clean ass Ef.

i agree with changing all the fluids and get a tune up (water pump/ TB etc) along with the cv's & youll be cruzin forever!

umm change all the ground wires, and power wires leavin the batterty to the starter and alt.

oh get your starter and your alt check to see if they have enough life in them

valve adjusment
clean all the ele. connections
trans oil
all bushings

- Fri Sep 18, 2009 5:33 am #144680 lol just check your oil and go. 100,000 isnt too bad. unless you have alot or money for that.
