Almost gave up
Well i almost gave up my 99 tl and was about to sell it. I thought about selling due to various reasons. Firstly, the car wasn't responive. I thought it was because the car was old and the time is almost up. Secondly, the car sometimes dies after starting. Thirdly, the body style of the car is getting out of style. By the way, my car has 197000 km on it and i thought it was time to give it up. But after doing various fluid changes/flushes and replaced all sparks plug. I no longer want to sell my car, the car runs great and is much more responsive. Though the body style of the car is getting out of style, i'll keep my car for another year or two. In which i can save a lot of money, not having the need to make car payments on a new car. Here is the list of tune up i did for those who is wondering.
Oil change and filter
Air filter
Transmission fluid
Brake fluid
Power steering fluid
Sparks plug
Wipers
One rear caliper
Though the service may be costly its worth it for safety reasons.

why dont u put a lip kit and an oem, lip, or a mugen replica spoiler on it, tint the windows, clear/ paint the headlights and get 02-03 tail light and some exhaust tips.
will up the car in looks and youll fall in love again. besides the lip kit everything is cheap and easy to do to change the look of a car.

I didn't know that a major service would be that much difference untill i experienced it myself. The sparks plug did make the biggest difference. The fluids made the ride smoother, sparks plug made it more responsive and wiper blade inserts allow me to see clearly. No more annoying squeaking sound from the wipers. I recommend car owners to spend money on service, the car is safer to drive and is worth the money cause you only have to do one major one every 2 - 3 years. I think if one has to spend 300 or more each month on fixing the car or servicing then its time for a new car.

Live and learn. I have 126K on the car and aside from the aging of the interior the car runs great. Oh and I have the 'honda tick' which is really noticable when the car is cold.
