normally its a general service tbh , although when my oil cooler blew that was like stripping half the engine down lol

I can do only light stuff, my greatest achievment - fitting the integra airbox

I am motivated to learn and do everything on my car myself but my only teacher are honda forums Anyway I think everything on hondas is easy to maintain/repair.

can only really do light stuff, biggest thing ive done is spark plugs and my cold air intake, but would laove to learn how to do the bigger stuff like pads, discs and valves etc

i hope your right lol , because i know the alternator on the vx v6 is a pig to do as its under the engine at the back and you have to drop the subframe to get to it , also spark plugs for the rear bank have to have the large inlet manifold removed to put the 3 plugs in and oil cooler lets not go there lol...

It really depends on the job and what could potentially go wrong as I have to have my car on the road, pads, discs, valve adjustments no problem but wouldn't do timing belt.

I can do all the work, I just choose not to

I have a local honda/mitsi specialist and it would seem rude not to use them

due to me being a mechanic, i would take on anything, just about.... like to day, i changed the spark plug's on my car in about 10 minuites......

10 minutes ... what took you so long

[philgor]
