I don't see it as unusual, my '94 ATX had 161k when I sold it.  Original 
engine and tranny, 2 waterpumps (did the timing belt both times), 1 crank 
sensor, 1 cam sensor, 1 alternator, 1 radiator, 1 thermostat, 2 tranny 
flushes, a few sets of tires and 3 sets of brakes.  At 161k I had never even 
pulled the valve covers.

All of these are normal expected repairs on most any car, so I never thought 
I had a troublesome SHO, I had alot more trouble from a few of the Honda's I 
have owned....
