45K miles bump starting scores of times a day on the OEM 1998 clutch and flywheel, which have a total 220,000 miles on them. Still going strong.

I was having starter problems before my transmission swap. Seventeen months of daily driving later and maybe a dozen starts per day and that same OEM starter has not failed once.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
