I got my Integra Service Manual this past Friday! When you all said that it had everything you needed to know in there...I didn't believe it. But dang, that thing is a full on manual! I love it!!!

One question: Although I may be able to avoid taking my car into the dealer for the more mundane service items (oil change, tire rotation, etc.), by doing them myself, am I voiding my warranty by not taking the car in regularly? Whenever I take my car in, they always have me sign a bunch of papers. I'm sure doing it myself would be a lot cheaper, and sometimes be better (sometimes mechanics don't give a darn about other people's cars) but is it worth it if I got the 100,000 mi. warranty?

Sorry if this is so long...just thought some of "da bruthas" could help me out.

Thanks!

 

Doing your own maintenance doesnt void the warranty

 

jay:
just bring it over to mine or robert's place to do the maintenance

yshi - whose car still hasn't gone back to a dealer in over 2 yrs

 

howzit yosh!

hey the ! looks like an upside down i...

anyway, yeah...sounds like a plan. i just took my car to the dealer...so maybe sometime we can hook up.

i'm definitely gonna invest in a filter wrench!!!

2 years is damn good...that's a lot of savings! lots of savings for some mods huh?

kepani-who is planning on buying a beater soon, in light of recent events.

 

You also can buy a filter wrench for OEM oil filters at Autozone for about 1/2 the price (of the dealer).

 

cool! now that's what i call fast service! thanks cosworth!

kepani-who is gonna check out autozone right after work...

 

how much was the helms manual, 80??

 

i believe their 60

 

the manual is $62.00 w/o shipping, etc. i also got the 2001 supplement, which is really small. it only has some minor updates (chassis and paint codes, cooling issues, etc.). the 2001 supplement was $36.00 for like 20 pages!

the 1998 manual is cool because it has dedicated sections for the b18c5...i likey!

kepani-who noticed that the sketches of the type r in the manual are jdm and the sketches of the others are usdm.

Without shipping but there are handling fees.

 

I just got mine a week ago too. Let the wrenching begin.
