Haha, nah. It's EVERY 60k. It's quite a pain. I paid a guy to do it when I had my SHO... that was before I'd so much as changed the oil in a car (changing the trans was my first endeavour).
There's a really good video out on the 60K service that we can get. Although I've never done the work, I'm sure would could do it.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Seen it, beat him pretty easily at the richmond autocross. His suspension is bone stock. Congrats, you beat a porky sedan at an autoX in your lightweight, swapped hatch with a modified suspension. Not hating on you or your car, but if he had beaten your time on that course (which had only one decent place to make any big speed), you don't deserve to brag about your car/skillz. We've all determined that in an autoX (and road course in many cases) it is skill and suspension which can ultimately lead to faster times. Blistering speed down a front straight means jack shit in a turn.
Being that I can beat you in a straight line (estimate, since we've never actually raced, yet), he'd probably have you by several car lengths before he got out of first gear.
your definition of fast and my definition of fast are obviously two different things, i honestly don't give a damn how fast something is in a straight line if it can't turn. being a supra owner i figured you'd know all about this... the "1000hp street monsters" and shit that we always see, that actually can't do a damn thing in the real world...
fwiw, i was on stock shocks and shit-assed lowering springs back then  all-seasons too.
