Some of you suckas don't even understand the basics of the TB.

GKinColo08TL

It doesn't specify which parts exactly and I'm pretty sure valve adjustment isn't included. Since in only says TB package service I would think all related to that would be included, belts tensioner etc. Water pump probably not but that's cheap and it has to come off anyway, right. I'm sure valve adjustment wouldn't be included.

well no matter how a motor wants to breathe, if you put a 10" intake, its gonna loose power since the intake velocity drops...you dont want the intake air to slow down....

just like an exhaust, you can put a 5" catback, but you are going to loose low end only because, the exhaust pulses loose velocity....

I agree with Maj here....if its ONLY labor, then I am mistaken and its not a good deal...

I am sure it does not include plugs AND valve adjustment, but if its includes EVERYTHING else, I still feel its a decently good deal....

Acura service shop near me had a similar deal except it was $750. It only included timing belt and water pump.

Oh you want an auto-tensioner.. $130
Adjuster.. $120
Idler Pulley.. $50
Plugs.. $75
Drivebelt.. $50

Then.. deal not so much. Way cheaper to buy the parts kit, which includes everything ~$200 and take it to an independent shop who specialize in Hondas to get it done. An honest place will charge no more than $400 labor if you supply the parts. Mark the old parts and new parts and make sure you get the old parts as part of the deal.

Well that's shitty

I know you have a relationship with your shop GK.. and if you want to keep it, that's fine. Just giving you some info if you want to save money. Cutting the cord isn't so bad.

I think that place local to me, AcuTech quoted me $595 for the 105k service.

THIS !!!

I had the dealer save all the marked old parts.....and the dealer said 400-450 for labor, for a independent shop, it shouldnt be more than 200-250....

but do look around, and keep your options open

I'm waiting for it to feel "right" to tackle 105K myself. I saw 7 years, 3 years ago...and I'm 2K miles shy...but I know I should. I have the time, space, all the tools/parts I need...just having trouble finding my set of cojones. Last I saw them, Betty had them in a jar on the fridge but dey gon.

I've confirmed. Austin is a girl.

Justin, I know you right, bruh...with that DIY thread that IHC or NFRN made (? ? :rofl) and the millions of youtube vids...I'll be alright.

iTrader: (5)

haha...I did mine after 5 years/135K miles...



I just like having peace of mind, the dealer was going to do it, warranty it....i could have done it but at that point, didnt have a garage, did not want to deal with "fuck, what now"....and knowing how I am, if I would have heard any noise/chirp at all after the job was done, I would have blamed it on the install and it would have driven me crazy....

so paying 400-450 to the dealer was not a bad deal for me...you have to pay 300-400 in parts anyway

The air pulse velocity thing is why I gained so little from the exhaust and all of it up top.

Basics of a TB? I thought I was an expert on Tight Butthole.

I don't trust anyone touching my car except for me anymore. Too many shady experiences with mechanics and dealer service advisers, and lazy/incompetent dealer techs. If it's not an engine swap, transmission rebuild/swap, or clutch, or something that requires expensive crazy ass tools that can't be rented out, I'm doing it mahself.

you can do an engine swap. its easy!

I love you, justin.

I don't have the space or the tools to do one right now. Eventually I'll have my own mansion with a 12 car garage and lifts and all the tools ever made. And I'm going to start collecting cars that I've always loved that aren't expensive. 3000GT VR4.

I was at 150k + on my last car didn't do it...helped a friend do his wasnt too too bad...

Dealer told me when I asked & he said they only change timing belt; water pump & tensioner..nothing else...

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

WOW....my dealer's quote included TB/WP/tensioner/idler pulley/serpentine belt and of course, coolant flush...no thermostat or valve adjustment....those am pretty comfy doing thermostat and valve adjustment my own

I'll be doing all that including plugs again and radiator hoses...might as well seeing as I'll have her all apart to begin with.

Majofo

I'm going to kick your puny coins into outer space. You kiss your mama with that mouth?!

You don't need expensive tools for trans / engine..

You need space.. and balls.

I dont think you need new radiator hoses unless they are leaking...you wont have to remove the hoses for 105K either...

also, unless you are doing a valve job, the plugs are not going to be a part of your 105K service either...


I recommend (and i do this personally) grouping the work...keep a FULL DAY (maybe weekend) for 105K service...so if you hear some different noise or something, you know it was part of the 105K that you did...

I would keep intake manifold/TB/EGR cleaning along with valve adjustment and plugs...




I didnt wanna say anything coz I just wanted to see your response...it sure is priceless LOL
