60k Maintenance Service Question
Hey guys, I searched this and found a few threads but not exactly what i'm looking for.
First of all, I have a 2000 GSR with 74k right now.
It has been boosted for about 10k.
It kinda slipped my mind to do the 60k service simply because I am always working on the car and didn't really see a need for it since I always do most of the things on their list.
Here's a list of what seems to be the service they do:
Replace Oil Filter
Change Engine Oil
Check All Fluid Levels
Check Tire Pressure
Inspect Front and Rear Brakes
Adjust Parking Brake
Flush Brake System
Replace Brake Fluid
Change Transmission Fluid
Replace Spark Plugs
Replace Distributor Cap and Rotor
Inspect Exhaust System
Inspect Suspension & Steering
Inspect Drive Axles and Boots
Add Fuel Injector Cleaner
Replace Fuel Filter
Replace Air Filter
Adjust Valves
Replace Valve Cover Gasket
Inspect Drive Belts
Road Test Vehicle
2 weeks ago, I replaced the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner. Yah I know it's early to change them, but for some reason my timing belt was beaten to death. I'll upload pics soon.
So I was wondering if you guys think I should still do it, even though I have 74k now. Also, anything that is missing from that list. This is the 60, 90, 120k, etc service.
Thanks in advance.

You should definitely do all that stuff, especially since you're boosted. It'll prevent possibly a lot of headaches in the future, so its a good idea.

Ok cool.
Here's the thing though, I have everything on that list done except for
Replace Distributor Cap and Rotor
Inspect Suspension & Steering
Inspect Drive Axles and Boots
Now i'm an idiot when it comes to suspension, should I actually go give it to them to inspect teh suspension, axels, and boots? Or should those be ok?
Adjust Valves
Also, I heard it was kinda of an easy job to adjust the valves but just tidious and time consuming. Should I just take it to honda/acura to do that for me?
Lastly,
I inspected my a/c, alternator, and power steering belts and they were all fine when I changed the timing belt.
Is there any other belts that I need to check?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Re: (RNPoo7)
When they inspect suspension, they just make sure your bushings arent shredded or shitty. No excessive noise or anythign from it... for the steering, just take it to a tire shop and have them do an alignment.

This is for a GSR, but the specs for your valve lash are under your hood (assuming you have a stock hood) and the rest is the same.
This is a great write up btw
