single cam valve adjustment is pretty easy. just make sure you get there early enough for the car to completely cool down. any heat in the motor will throw off specs. anyone have a cheap box fan to bring?
Care to send me the address as well. I will be attending Saturday instead of Sunday.

I'll see if I got one. Thanks a lot in advance for the help!
ok, if he brings one them i'm going to change my list to saner bar install, tranny+dif fluid change, and car detailing. i'll have my door on by tonight.
jason- are you bringing one for sure? do i need to bring pads? if so what kind and size?

Yea, I'm bringing it.
But unfortunately retailers domain won't have my new pads in on time. Though, unless you have some REEALY deep scratches, what I have will be fine. Plus I'm sure you wouldn't want to have one perfect panel that's a shade darker due to the paint clarity.
I have a few of the Black wax pads, blue final polish pads, and green polish pads.
If someone has the orange or yellow pads for aggressive cutting, that would save us time. I have a flexible 3m 5.5 inch backing plate, so 5.5 inch pads would be ideal.

I can bring a porter cable as well if that would help. I only have Meguiars pads - 1 polish, 1 wax.
For you diff and trans fluid people. I have a total of 4 sets (fill and drain) each for the trans and diff. Diff set will be $2 and trans set will be $1 (pretty much what I paid from h-and-a after shipping). Dealership will probably charge you more. The process is pretty straightforward except for my biggest pet peeve about the s2000 - 23mm diff fill bolt (drain bolt is 24mm...really honda? couldn't make them the same size?) but I have a 23mm box wrench (just for that). I also have hand pumps for the trans and the diff fluid. Diff takes 1qt and trans takes 1.5qts, so buy 2 when you're at honda (or 3 and find a friend).
Bring a chair. In fact, just keep one in your trunk at all times.
