Default shall I get it serviced?

So I bought my s2000 on 21k and its now done 30k this has been done since febuary and the car has been driven pretty hard. The car has had all recall work done and I have changed the oil and filter twice now at more or less 3k intervals (due for another soon). When looking through the service records the guy has had the 27k service and all others previous to that (by honda may I add). Now he obviously got the 27k service done at around 20/21k, so should I be looking to get it serviced soon or is it ok till 36k? (I think this is the next marked service date in the book). No problems as of yet, all happy motoring however I just wanna be sure... Your comments are welcome! Thanks in advance

Servicing should be done every 9000miles or 1yr. Sounds like the previous owner didn't do 9k a year so had to get it done annually. If you want to keep or get a warranty you need to service it every 9k.

I shall probably hold on for 6k then and get it serviced then but still doing the 3k oil and filter change. For some reason I can feel the engine not revving a freely once the oil turns black which for me has usually been 3k miles after the change it feels like a new car....
Anything else I need to pay attention to from now till then? I may do a brake pad change myself and I'll check the water regualry but anything else I should look out for?

Many thanks

neil is right, i service mine every year cos I don't do the mileage. just had the 27k/3yr done with only 14k on the clock. like Neil says, its less expensive than the 27k service so think yourself lucky!
