Well i have had my itr for two years now and she is about to hit the 30,000 mile mark. I plan on doing a tune up, and a little preventative mantenence in the next week or so. Here is what i plan on doing, if anyone can think of anything i am forgetting please add. Thank you. Change oil, trany fluid, spark plugs, cap and rotor, radiator fluid, plug wires, and valve adjustment.

maybe fuel filter?

-jeff, who says 'why not?"

 

Fuel filter is a must, and possibly your break fluid. Also pick up some lithium grease and get all thouse hinges.

 

what do u mean leteum grease and get the hinges. can u explain what that is and what you do basically. thanks.

 

i think he's talkin about ur door hinges, and maybe hood, i dunno ;x
just assuming heh

 

Lithium grease is just a type of grease... you can get it in gel form or in spray form. Get the spray and hit the spots where stuff moves (ie the hindges). If you look in your door jam, you will see what I mean. You might not need it, but it is still good to do once in a while.

im pretty sure you should change the brake fluid, but im not sure. I know for a fact that you have to at 60,000 so i suppose you would also at 30,000

 

yes bleed your brake fluid. Use honda fluid if you don't track your car other wise do a search and alot of different fluids people use on here will be good enough for the track. I personally use ATE brake fluid. But its up to you....

Thanks for the replys guys. Probably won't change the fuel filter though, i allready did that due to some bad gas at around 20,000 miles.

 

clutch pedal adjustment.

 

Muffler bearings LOL! No need for clutch pedal adjustment, just had new clutch and flywheel installed recently. Thanks for the thought.

 

Clutch free-play adjustment was listed somewhere I looked...

-who needs to find that list.

 

I just had my 30000 miles done and this is all they did.

1. Change oil and filter
2. Change air filter
3. rotate tires
4. balance wheels
5. fuel injection service
6. valve adjustment (if ticking)

You can do the 30000 mile check yourself

 

Cool, i forgot about wiper blades, definatly need new ones. As for the A/C, its gone, and as for rotating the tires, my SW388's and dunlop rubers should be here in about a week!

 

a wheel alignment maybe?

 

i would change the plugs every 15k miles at the LATEST
Dont know if i would worry about the wires right now though.
