Thanks for the help, but I don't think I have the tools, I might go buy a set of wrench anyway tho. If small jobs like changing fluid and stuff that I can do at home, I would want to try, so I can save some money. I just need to make sure it's possible to work at home, my garage is small. Then I'll have the shop to do the big jobs, and give me another quote.

no problem. also if you do the spark plugs i recommend puting a litte grease on the threads as well as dielectrical compound in the spark plug wire to seal the electrical connection. just my .02 hope it helps you. also as for the fluids and stuff youll need to get the car in the air a little bit to make it easier on you or your gona have a fun time changing the fluids.
Anyone know where I can get the complete set of the stuffs in the list so I can bring to the shop and have them to do it just pay for labor? I don't want to buy the wrong parts.

If you haven't get one, I suggest you not to get one unless you want to drain your pocket or you're rich or something. It's a nice car but it's been giving me a headache to pay the bills... sigh... I just changed my clutch not long ago for $1,500. I'm empty pocket now. LOL

Forget about the fluid then. LOL. I doubt changing the spark plugs myself would save me anything or even nothing, but I would try.

$700 labor is pretty steep. Parts-wise you could probably save 10-20% depending on your source. I did my 60k service (at approx 70k) without plugs and wires with a cam install and LICP install and I got it all done for around $800. I did my fluids at 60k myself.

I just looked at my 60k service receipt from GST. Price is almost the same as the invoice you received. it is expensive 
I don't think you're going to save much if you're only going to do the spark plug and oil change labor yourself. bulk of the labor is timing belt. i say just have the shop do the whole 60k service maintenance. you pay a little more but you get peace of mind.

I was told when I got my 60k done that the water pump wasn't really necessary. They said something along the lines of that their track car (and many others who track their cars) haven't had any problems when not replacing it during the service.

Do it a few times and you get pretty quick.

Seems way to high. Look for your own parts for cheeper and learn to do the plugs, it's really easy. Then pay the labor on the t belt and whatever else you are uncomfortable with doing.
