Going to do a tuneup.. $?

I want to change my plugs, cap and rotor before I take my car on this roadtrip I'm going on. How much does all this usually run? I'm going to have someone stop by acura for me. I can't call and ask so I turn to HT again.

I'm guessing most of HT sticks to OEM parts like this, correct?

OEM yes. As for prices...I forgot.

Its a DIY tuneup tho. Dont pay more then you dont have to.

Re: (RuskeR)

you will def notice a diff if you change your rotor, just get an OEM it should be like $20, and if your gonna get new plugs i would suggest NGK coppers $60

Re: (teg-your-it)

that is a easy job to do. Get the oem stuff if you can get a deal on it. The cap and rotor are easy to change all you need is a phillips screwdriver.
the ngk coppers part# is bkr6e-11

The dis.cap & rotor are about $15$20 each depending on where you go. You do not need to change to spark plugs yet but if you insist, the NGK plantinum for the GSR are about $16-$18 a piece.

You don't need platinum. Most people rather use the regular ones instead.

Change your cap, rotor, wires every 30k.

30k or every two years roughly.

If youre going on a long road trip and considering some performing some maintenance, might be worth changing the fuel filter, transmission oil and motor oil.

I just got around to changing the clutch fluid and didnt realize it was all black... After the job, it felt heaps better.

Overall, your car would appreciate it
