ok, summer is right around the corner and i want my car to be in tip-top shape. i have recently done a tune-up and tomorrow im going to go get an oil change. i also am going to order some body parts for my car b/c the passanger side front fender is dented and i want to fix it. but can ne one think of ne thing else i can check/change/repair before summer hits so i wont have to do it later. i would appreciate ne imput. :woowoo:

 

COOLANT...I can't stress that enough. A caked on water hose and damaged water pump is not fun to replace on these cars, especially since the WP is inside the timing belt housing. Do a complete flush of your cooling system, you don't necessarly have to go buy that Prestone Flush Kit with the "T", what I did was disconnect the hose at the water heater valve and flush my core that way by connecting the outlet hose (off the valve, not the core) to the garden hose. Then obviously remove the thermostate and the lower outlet hose from the water pump so it can flush out. But that's very important!

 

^what he said. Also, Honda recommends you replace your fuel filter every 15,000 miles. Just thought I'd throw that in

 

i replaced that when i did my tune-up. but thanks for the info. if u think of ne thing else just PM me.

 

tranny fluid...not nessecery but good practice. how many miles are on the timing belt?

 

• Also flush the brake system.
• add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner
• check tire pressures
• check spark plugs
• check lugs
