Default New to Me: 2006 Coupe V6 EX-L 6spd

Hey folks, I just got a 2006 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 with the manual 6 speed, with 67k miles. I really love this car! I got it for 14k even, so I'm feeling like I did alright.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there is anything I should be prepared to deal with on this car? Any maintenance I should be concerned with or simple changes that'll improve the vehicle? I did spring for the 36k/3yr warranty on the drive train just to be on the safe side.

Nothin really to worry about maintinence wise except oil changes and timing belt at 105k.
Typically people like to change out the rear sway bar for the acura TL-S rear sway bar. It's much stiffer and promotes a little bit of oversteer also flattens out the cornering. Another good source of info is v6performance.com. It's another forum specifically for the v6 accords. Lots of good advice on there. Any questions feel free to message me.

take a moment and read your manual about maintenance intervals.
