'07 Type-S
Why timing belt/water pump so early? I have a few bottles of Redline Racing ATF that I can give to you if you want. I normally go 2 D4 + 1 racing on each drain. No power steering flush?

Bringing this thread back from the dead 
Here's my to-do list. Also may try to get a pic of the reverse led's that I installed a while ago, they're awesome!
Oils/Filters:
- Oil change with 5 qtz of Red Line 5w20
- K&N oil filter
- Replace the cabin air filter

- H&R Sport Springs
- HT-Spec brake package: Stage 2
- Yokohama Advan S.4 225/45/17
Maintenance:
- Replace timing belt & water pump
- Valve adjustment
- Replace 5AT fluid with Red Line D4
- Alignment (maybe)
Performance:
- AEM V2
- Get throttle body bored to 70mm

Dennis, do you do the 3x3 or just a single flush and fill?
I did miss type on the tire size, thank you for clarifying. Really, 0w20? He knows what he's talking about so I'll go that route. Thanks again
Will probably also do a power steering & coolant flush.

I did a 3x3 last year around this time. My fluid still looks red/new so I am just going to do a 1x3 this time around to keep things fresh. Yes 0w20 oil can be used in the TL

Thanks again for the advice on the oil ParaSurfer1979 Picked up 5 quartz today after work.
Also may be switching gears on the tire selection. I do love the S.4's but am very interested in some Continental DW 245/45/ZR-17.

This oil is great. The car has never felt this good. Did end up using the K&N filter. Had a Royal Purple last time. What do you guys use? Also changed the cabin air filter. Quick, easy and well worth it. Now I just need to find a spare weekend to do the brake upgrade.
Still debating the tire selection though...

Yea....I didn't drop mine for a long time. But I went with H&R Sports Springs for $245, since the Type S ride is plenty stiff. No need for coils! I wish I knew that the springs were so much cheaper than the coils a LONG time ago-I would have pulled that trigger faster.

Dude, I went with the Sports Springs because the Type S already has stiff enough suspension. Plus, I didn't want to pay ~$1,000 for coils. I really felt as though I just needed the drop only.
The H&R Sports Springs were a perfect alternative at ~$245.

Exactly. I do plan on running FnF 2.5's on my Civic but the TLS will only get springs (for now).
If you had to choose between H&R Sports or Tein S, which one would you buy?

So I'm going to be getting tires soon (within a week or so). Does anyone have any suggestions on a different tire or size?
Continental DW 245/45/ZR-17 is what I'm leaning towards right now.
Thanks in advance for any input/advise I receive
