30k maintanence
So my car is coming up on 30k and so i searched H-T and found a thread on what to do.. just want to confirm everything with you guys..i've decided that i'm going to take the car to the dealer to do the valve adjustment (really necessary at 30k? or 60k?)..
as far as the spark plugs, tranny fluid, and flushing the brake system..the guy at kragens told me that those are usually done at 60k..so should i do them now or another 30k?
one final question.. how do i adjust the parking brake? thanks guys

Just do a visual yourself for these items. Learn from a friend,dad, Helms book
----------------------------------------
Check Fluids
Check Tire Pressure
Inspect Drive Belt & Hoses
Inspect Brakes
Inspect Distributor Cap
Inspect Exhaust System
Inspect Suspension & Steering
Inspect Drive Axles and Boots
Add Fuel Injector Cleaner
Replace Air Filter
Adjust Parking Brake
------------------------------------------
If your not comfortable with these find a local Honda/Acura Mechanic
Dealer would be nice but like you said they get you on the labor.
Replace Spark Plugs (I replaced mine at 60k)
Flush Brake System/Replace Brake Fluid
Change Tranny Fluid
----------------------------------------------
This might not even be needed YET: You decide
Adjust Valves.

dealer charges so much..... its not really that hard to adjust your own valves... um if you take out the center console and get access to the rear part of the e-brake there should be a bolt that you use to adjust the e-brake. goodluck
