Default Hi all i just got my first honda!

Hey so i just got a 2000 civic Si. It's blu and only has 60k.
It's going to be my daily driver as i have my old nissan as a track ****.

I was wondering what service i need to perform on the car to keep it running somoth (besides oil and air filter)

Thanks

PS i'll post some pics once i figure out how

The first major stuff that needs to be done is the timing belt and water pump at 80-90k miles. Before that, make sure the plugs and wires, cap and rotor and coil are all in good condition and you'll be set. A transmission service wouldn't hurt either.

As Archidictus said, that's the basic tune up, maybe once a year... Also look into check engine lights ASAP so it doesn't wear something out.. 'tis about it, relatively low maintenance cars...

I envy u w/ the B16 as my D16 makes me cry :-P - nice color, and mileage btw

I dunno if i want to spend the money on an alarm.... it has the honda one with the vallet thing in it and i have full coverage insurace.
I got the car for 6k.... so dont mind gettin paid if it goes missing.

I have a club for school and it's parked in the garage.
