Hello everyone! Please bare with me I had just recently bought the car about a month ago and have been deciding to do an all fluids change. I've been a little hesitant to get it done by a shop/dealership to tell you the truth after reading through some of the terrible experiences people had with them (i.e crashing vehicle, wrong fluids, etc.). Especially, dont want to pay the incredibly overpriced $$$ that there going to charge me.

I've got pretty much all the jist on all the "how to's" thread and thinking of giving it a shot myself but still hesitant due to my lack of experience on this particular vehicle. Now to my offer;

I am wondering if there is anyone willing to give me a hand on doing these changes that has experienced it before. I will supply all the needed fluids, tools, etc. to make this project easier. I am also willing to drive out to the specific persons garage/house if preferred. I really dont mind as long as I can get a chance to see exactly how it is done for future reference. As long as they live in the north side of Chicago or even in the west suburbs I dont have a problem going there. Now, if need be, I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount if requested, but that would be after the work is done depending how much work you put into it. Truthfully, I prefer doing all the work as long as I am directed on what to do, so I know firsthand.

I plan on doing this as soon as it gets above freezing and the snow melts to a substantial amount. It is just too cold and snowy to even be doing this at the moment If anyone is interested shoot me a PM. Thanks everyone

 

Get ahold of Pinyo. He can show you how to do it all with the car up in the air so you can get a good look at everything.

where on the north side are you?

 

He was actually my second choice if nobody offered to help... Since were on this topic, does anyone know how much he charges if I was to get Pinyo to do it?

I will be bringing the beverages(beer preferrebly). Now if that doesnt catch any attention, I give up..

 

i'm taking my car into pinyo as soon as the snow stops. i'll let you know what he charges

 

I'm on Peterson/Kimball during the week and in the west suburbs during the weekend. But I can stay in Chicago in the weekend if need be.

 

Yea, this snow is but at least its not below freezing. You know Jacques, when you go lemme know. I might just head out with you, so I can see how it is. Send me PM or something. Thanks

Yea I know. It's terrible right now and then its going to freeze for the rest of the week. It looks like its going to get better next week though. Hopefully. I'm just waiting for the time where I can have the top down since I havent had the experience yet due to me purchasing the car last month.

 

please PLEASE tell me you arent on stock S02s either

dont be a statistic - get some snow tires

/public service announcement

 

It is on SO2s unfortunately at the moment, but just got my new set of tires in today. I probably wont have it installed till tomorrow morning. I dont drive the S on the snow at all, luckily I still have my beater(92 prelude). It is alot better to drive in these conditions being at least a front wheel drive. So trust me, I do not want to be a statistic at all. I try to avoid driving the S in these conditions, especially since I have just bought it.


please. Thank you
