Okay, the first one's free (sorta). Everyone else is paying I called auto innovations in Milpitas and they charge $275 for a spring install. Install takes about 4 hours for them. If I do it on my own, maybe 3 or 4. If you help me, probably (eidt) 1-2. I think $100 is reasonable...waddaya say? Help a poor student out

If you, or anyone else with an S2000 needs some maintenence done, let me know! Valve adjustments are a good idea ~50K miles.

EDIT: After calling a few more local shops, and finding much cheaper quotes, I'm dropping my price to about $70

Sure, I don't care if you watch. I'm sure we can make use of you somehow . I think we're meeting up around 10 AM tomorrow. Give me a call for directions. The tranny 'n diff stuff isn't even worth your time to watch, all you do is take off/put on some bolts. Not as easy as an oil change cause the fill holes are kinda hard to get to; all you need is a tube or a hand pump and you'll be okay.

Well I'm seriously underestimating myself, just to make time for any problems that could (but probably won't) occur. I only wish I had all the tools terrance has He's a great guy, taught me how to do my first valve adjustment.

Sorry to the people who PM'd me. I didn't know I had PM's coming in. I found out my inbox is filled, so it doesn't tell me I had PM's. I replied to all!
