Nice work. I think I'll still let a professional do mine.

glutton for punishment that I am, I'm still planning on dropping the entire engine/transaxle and doing the belt,idlers,pump, etc....all at one time. At 69,000 I still have a little time to plan it out....or is that chicken out?

You may not have as much time as you think with 69000 miles My 2005 has 72000 miles on it and it shredded a timing belt. I have a 2005 turbo convertable and Iam ready to drive it off a cliff. I have had nothing but problems with it. Both front axles, computer, turbo, and a bunch of misc. b.s. and now the timing belt. I should have kept my honda accord

Please don't send any of your luck my way. No issues as of yet for me.

Ahhhh. It's refreshing to see somebody in the same boat. I've got 89k miles and a stretched timing belt, fog lights that dont shut off, a transmission thats blown it's solenoid pack, and a problem w/ the 2 stage fan.. with a grand total of over 2k dollars worth of REPAIRS in the past 4 months!!

I should have kept my old honda, and I should buy ANOTHER new honda!
