Hey there! New owner of an '00 S2K in Raleigh. I'd love to learn more about the the platform and wrenching on it. New to the platform but not wrenching. If you have a job coming up and would like a spare set of hands that can turn a wrench, I'd be more than happy to help. Would love to pick up some knowledge.

Might have a thing or two coming up in the next couple weeks. If you are a NEW owner then we should probably do a ONCE OVER on your new baby to assure it's all in good working order. See what's been done, what might need to be done and things to watch out for as time goes on.
I hope to start wrapping my S soon and when I do that I need to tear apart my S BIG TIME. While doing so I will see about what other things I might want/need to do.(fuel pump, wiring clean up and amp rack/spare tire removal.
Once I get something setup I will post a TECH DAY thread unless you want to expedite and bring your baby in for a look first. Costs will be minimal, if any as I will probably just be providing instructions & advise vs. my DOING the work. My place has all the tools you would need to do anything shy of engine removal.(my engine host is in CT still)

I'd love to have your eyes and do a once over on it. I'll bring beer as "thanks for your time", if that's a fair trade. I think it'd be easier if I just came by one day for an hour or so since I'm close to the Chapel Hill area.
I can't PM people on here yet (14 day waiting period) so I may need an alternate way to connect with you.

I will send you my phone # from there so we can talk.

+1 to Pinky and his work. Pretty new owner myself and had him do the retainers and valve adjustment. He gave a pretty complete look over the car and gave me a bunch of helpful advice. If he hosts another tech day, I’d be happy to come out and help out with some extra hands and tools. Done a whole lot on mine so shouldn’t need to do much for the foreseeable future.

If I don't respond within 24 hours post back and we can work out another way to connect.
None of those should be hard at all. We might just want to be pro-active and get you new sway bar end links because after 10 to possibly almost 20 years those guys are going to be RUSTED big time and the boots might be shot as well. Something like this would be great to have on hand in case we run into an issue. https://www.1aauto.com/2001-honda-s2.../2001-1134-149
