Hey Jimmi glad you finally got a spec. As for the CEL when changing oil it doesn't come on. Hondas throw a CEL every three-thousand miles when your supposed to change the oil and all you have to do to get it off is hold the little button down that resets the trip odometer for three seconds while you start the car. The brakes are easy as pie also. Just make sure that you have something to compress the pistons to get the calipers and pads over the rotor. Good luck with it man. Hope you like yours more than I did
