welcome to the forums. lots and lots of information around.

i'd say spend about 3 days just reading through some of the threads as well as making use of the search button up top. it should get you acquainted to the site and the mods that you can do.

then if you have any more questions then bust open a new thread

first thing- register with acura and check recall item status and trans warranty length
some 03s get a free timing belt, others get screwed on warranty but there is a way to get Goodwill coverage
1-800-382-2238 x5
and here
store the radio-nav codes online and look up your car with acuras computer
http://owners.acura.com/registration...erstepone.aspx
Need the VIN for both reg places

if you have nav its probably in need of a new disc
https://www.hondanavi.com/Hondadvdsales/naviorder.php

welcome to the forum- its a good place with some expert help and several of us that meet in person at acurazine get togethers- see Off Topic.. then meets, wash and wax- etc etc
sponsored sales (vendors) private sales (members) are there to find right parts from quality vendors

Most subjects-problems already have a thread- just start reading the titles for gen2
Threads like `tranny failure` that are 15 pages long- skip to the last few pages

Flush the brake fluid now and then once a year
Change the cabin air filter too- both easy DIY jobs

Thanks 01tl4tl for them links. I now know that my trans was never replaced but it was covered thru the warranty. Good to know that since the car has 235k on it! And to stick to the post, I'm new here also and have already seafoamed and working on some other easy diy's from this site. Like everybody else says take a look around, you're sure to find what you're looking for.
