I'm bringing my R in for a maintenance at the dealer this coming week. What should they look for ?
the car just broke 30k miles and has been driven hard and I'm going to Limerock in Nov.

I just want to have additional ideas on what should be looked at...
Other then the obvious

Thanks!

 

Anyone???

 

along w/ usual maintenance check the:
- brakes
- suspension
- make sure wheels are torques on correctly

i'm sure there's more but....

yshi - whose being 0wnz'd by only 2hrs of sleep last nite

 

valve adjustment, fuel filter change, as well as what yoshi mentioned.

[QUOTE]valve adjustment, fuel filter change, as well as what yoshi mentioned.

Exactly what Yellow Blur said. Valve adjustment, especially if car has been driven hard. Oil change (if not done already) , check, brakes, tranny, shift linkage. Also change your tranny fluid.. Good luck, Acura will wack you for at least $300.. Good luck..

 

What front pads and brake fluid are you using?
Stock won't last long and could make for a miserable overall "track" experience, especially down the "diving turn" onto the front straight.

Just a thought. Ed

 

Heres the deal I have a few warrenty items that need to be taken care of and I want them to look for anything else that might be a warrenty item that could be replaced before it goes bad.

I have or will do the basic chit like oil, pads etc
just looking for the "out of the ordinary" items that might be a headache

 

Cool, just checking.
When I did Mid-Ohio the first time I didn't go full bore down the back straight till near the end of the first day.

Warranty items?

 

here's what i did for 30K service

oil change
tranny fluid change
valve adjustment
coolant flush
clutch fluid flush
new air filter

before you go on the track get performance brake pads and flush the brake fluid with ATE super blue or type 200 yellow

 

...what he said...

 

Bro, I'd grab a buddy and do my own 30K mile service. The dealer is over priced.
I do my own maintenance. Unless the job is way beyond my knowledge and ability I wont take it to anyone.

I know not to let anyone work on my car I do everything myself, but ... I'm just looking for the unknown when I arrived at 30k miles.


Thanks.

 

oops yeah you're right, get everything done thats covered under warranty... I must have been sleeping...

 

what I'm looking for is people who have passed 30k miles and have warrenty claims. Or anyone with knowledge of warrenty items that will go bad or the possiblity of going bad near or past 30k miles.

Thanks again.-Rob-

 

How do you refill a trans with MTF? Does it have to be pumped in or can you pour it in somewhere?

 

as for your OT question try a search or just click on this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=293617

 

So no other thoughts?

 

its hard to believe you actually let the DEALER touch your car...unless its warranty parts they dont know crap...
and if you have mods done they will be a royal PITA stating the mods void the warranty
like a muffler will blow and engine or something like that

 

youll need as many stickers as possible
