Yeah, my friend who use to be an Acura mechanic up in Canada would get set for training when new models came out so they knew how to work on them...

If you need help with anything just post in our forum. Most of us have gone through this before and have all the tools you need (almost). As well as are willing to help/teach.

Do you know all the touque specs for an oil change?

Check Here for a nice write-up
Wow that write up was pretty darn anal! I changed mine a couple weeks ago.. (didn't spill one drop . It's pretty straight forward if you changed your own oil before. The only thing I would recommend is lifting the car from the driver side since the drain hole/bolt is facing towards the passenger side.

Diff. oil: done, man the stuff was BLACK. DIdn't even jack up the car but I prob. will next time Next up: tranny fluid (honda MTF). Also, Huey's is going to change me spark plugs foe FREE since the plug recall was not done on my car. AND I put my hardtop strikers in with Loctite last Sat. Man what a difference!

I need to adjust my strikers but I'm thinking that I'm going to get a hardtop in spring so I won't need to really play with it too much...

Tranny fluid should be pretty straight forward. I just wish the s2000 had a breather hole like the Prelude does to make filling the tranny up a TON easier. You might want to get a magnetic drain plug while you are there. I just got some Spoon ones.
