What work do we do on our NSX ourselves ?

[MvM]

I was wondering what maintenance work owners do themselves on their NSX. I am definitely not an auto-mechanic myself but want to know as much as possible about the car. On the other hand I don't want to ruin the car by doing obvious things wrong that could have been better done by any competent mechanic.
Problem is, from what I heard, there are not many mechanics in Europe who are NSX-qualified.

I change oil, brake pads, removed dust shields on front brakes, replaced springs/shocks, sparks plugs, air filter, change brake fluid, removed front bumper for respray, replaced chip in ECU.

I have also fabricated seat mounts for Sparco Evo, and fitted seat. Will be fabricating air deflectors for for brakes next. Then possibly having an attempt at making a composite engine cover.

I do what I can do, just save money with the dealer.

I have not found a 'specialist' in the UK. We have 5 dealers in the UK which are NSX approved. So I take my car to one of those. They are working on an NSX all the time, so they should have enough experience to do a good job. I doubt they take the time and care as Mark Basch though, and they always treat me like 'just another customer'. I get the same service as someone with a Civic (which I also have).
