Go to hardtopguy.com .. and buy the following:

1 bottle of Almasol 607 for the diff
2 bottles of Syncromesh for the tranny
1 bottle of ATE Super Blue DOT 4 Brake Fluid
cabin filter
air filter
oil filter/ oil
spark plugs

And if you don't know how to change all this stuff yourself, my shop can do it.

Have you at least read your owner manual yet?

Freq, did you ever consider that he only has 34 days on the board - driving an 01' Honda S2000. Using that information, I'd gather that he purchased the vehicle used. Working in the automotive industry, it is very common to see a Pre-Owned vehicle sold without an Owners Manual. Perhaps instead of answering his question with a question, you could just answer his question.

Easy, easy. I thought it was a fair question. Reading the manual is useful. If you don't own one, a shop manual is a good companion as well.

Oh, please don't take my comment the wrong way. In no way was I trying to argue with Freq. I was just simply implying that several people who do purchase a Pre-Owned vehicle aren't given the luxury of an owners manual.
I do agree though, taking the time to purchase an owners manual from the Honda Parts Department or even a Shop Manual is an amazing investment! A friend of mine does have the actual online shop manual, which is uploaded into his lap top. It definitely comes in handy when working on my car!

My pre-owned S2000 didn't have an owners maunal but rest assured, I bought one on e-Bay ASAP.

The search here on S2KI seems to be working much better now too.
