Nice job - I noticed that you have about 70k and 7 years on your front tires - you might want to check them since they should be worn out by now. Or maybe I missed it.
Past a certain point we no longer remember tires - especially rears.

We're lucky to remember if we still have the OEM wheels on the car and if not whether they're still in the garage or we sold them.

Same with me and on both my civic and s2k. I try to put it off for later because I'm lazy and then I tend to forget about it.

I wasn't sure what this thread was about at first, luckily the sub title cleared things up.

You're spending a fortune on air filters

Just picked mine up for $12 (cabin) and use K&N for motor. it's like driving for free. HA!

$480/year is pretty decent.
With the exception of tires and windshield, I have only used OEM parts.

My maintenance log is accurate. The Dunlop SP Sport 5000 was an excellent tire, that is longer available. My fronts do have almost 70,000 miles. I will most likely replace them with Bridgestone Protenza RE960AS Pole Positions. I do not drive my S2000 that hard. It is old, and so am I.

Tires tend to start dry rotting after 5 years. You have 11 year old tires? Yikes.
