Hey Everyone,
Just thought I'd Introduce myself.
The Names Jerry and I've just picked up a Red 1999 Honda S2000 From Trivett's in Parramatta Sydney.
Theres afew mods i have in mind for the car. (starting with Front lip, wind deflector, some new model interior bits and pieces)
So if you guys have any part lying around feel free to shoot me a message.
hoping for a cruise and to join in the awesome topics you guys talk about.

Peace

Jerry

Thanks for the welcoming, just turned 25 and justcar is looking after me well with the premiums.
Quick question. When driving at about 100km/h do you guys notice alot of wind coming in from the roof gap?

the wind noise you explained at 100km/h is in need of a fix, search "striker replacement" as this will help create a better seal between soft top and the windshield. Another easier fix is to put washers under the strikers to create a tighter latch up fitting, this is cheaper but with a 99 model you possibly be best at replacing the strikers. Also shin-etsu grease to plump up the windshield may help if the wind noise is not too bad.
btw I have a used set of strikers fs, pm me if need help.

I gave the washer fix a try (i think its called the "hafler mod" if you want to search for it. For me it didn't work very well (although it did make an improvement) so I replaced my strikers. You can get them new from "Hardtop Guy" pretty cheap from the US and they are a piece of cake to install.

Hi and welcome,

Since you have a 99 model just wondering if I am still in the running of the oldest S alive to date??? Yeah i guess for our 99 Model better to get the strikers replaced. Hope you are enjoying your new "investment" =)
