Hey there, we had an amazing improvement in throttle response and power by doing just a little extra maintenance on our TSX...I know now more than ever maintenance is key to having a fun and reliable car!

Check out what I did here:

And the results of my excitement came with the unveiling of a completely new maintenance plan based on real world needs of the car, not the penny pinching mentality provided by manufacturer maintenance standards! The HT-Spec maintenance schedule is almost done...we'll be announcing it as soon as it is!

Nice write up.I'm @ 66k miles and am going to change my plugs. The previous owner had it done @ 30k miles.I like to change plugs(yes even iridium),fluids(Trani,brake,clutch,p/s,and anti-freeze) every 30k miles,and air and cabin filter every 15k miles..Being a tech,I get all OEM parts at cost. Plugs are acually cheaper at Advanced auto parts(NGK Iridium @ $9.99 ea).

We sell the densos at $9.

But it sounds like you have a sort of classic mentality for maintenance like me. I changed the oil this evening as well and it just seems...nice.

What's your take on valve adjustments on these engines?

Mr. DB2

Every 30k miles on all my b-series stuff(depending on how hard it being runmmaybe sooner). I have the luxury of having the tools and knowledge to do it myself. My tsx is my daily which gets about 10 miles a day which I will most likely do when I change my plugs. The previuos owner had it done @ the 30k service.Mine aren't tapping at all. I'm pretty anal about maintainance.
