60K and exhaust
I'm like a proud Papa. Just did my own 60K (at 58.8K miles), including all 12 plugs. A huge high-five goes to Robin and p-car.com. Without it...well, you know.
A couple of observations:
* The tranny fluid was awfully dark and there was probably about a half a pencil eraser of metal shavings on the drain plug magnet.
* Don't order the Bosch fuel filter. The fitting is different on one side and won't work. Get the Mahle.
* Consider wearing head protection. (gashed my head on the trunk latch).
Also, I came across a used set of Supercups that I'll be picking up later this week. I can't wait (teehee). After installation, I'm considering selling my GHL mufflers, although I'm not dead set on it and may just keep them in case the Supercups become more than I bargained for.

Well done!
You could use the $ 'saved' (by doing your own labor) and git a nice trinket for your favorite girl!
(Note, this can apply equally to 'either one'. :-))
