First off, if you are reading this, I advise you to bring TWO KEYS with you to RtD. If you only have one, you have PLENTY of time to go to Honda and have a second made. There have been a small amount of guys who have lost an only key, and it is a catastrophic downer to this vacation. Honda dealers are VERY far away, and getting another key made out in this remote area is near impossible. Your only option is a flatbed, which will take 2-4 hours to arrive, be morbidly expensive, and that doesn't even include Honda's bill so get that second key.

I'll be doing my usual tech day, Friday morning in front of the Wildwood grill. Paid services will include custom valve adjustments, modified TCTs, and possible retainer job. Please PM me to schedule time on the valve adjustment list and TCT list, I think bama dave and florian are on there already.

If you have never come to tech day, it is a good idea to stop by. I will be offering some vital free services and classes to any one who wants to come by and learn about their S2000.

-Billman's revised axle nut torque settings: this is a one time service. Don't be among the hundreds of s2k owners who are destroying wheel bearings and hubs on a regular basis. Stop by and get your axle nut torque revised, this applies to all s2ks up to 2009. IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS DONE, you have a little home work to do if you have AFTERMARKET WHEELS or CR type wheels. All you need to do is remove your rear wheel center caps. On AP2 V3 wheels (CR type) remove the wheel, and push the center cap out from the back with your fingers. I can take caps off on factory AP1, and AP2 V1 and V2. I ask you to show up with your rear center caps removed, this will save time and allow me to do all participants that want it done.

-clutch adjustment: this vital service is a one time adjustment, and will save your transmission from develping the all too famous second gear grind. No homework needed, just show up

-Clutch fluid replacement class: I will do one clutch fluid job, and show you all how to do this easy, vital service.

-spark plug torque: don't be one of the many with engine destruction because of this simple service. HOMEWORK is required for this. Simply bring a 5mm allen key to remove your coil cover, and a 10mm socket wrench to remove your coil packs. Just park at the tech spot, remove these easy items, and I will do the rest.

-aftermarket suspension tuning advice: I have found that 90% or more of aftermarket suspensions are poorly set up, and require adjustments. I'll be glad to take your car for a spin, and advise you where you need to make adjustments (ride height, preload, compression, rebound, sway bar positioning, alignment, tire psi)

-of course I will be on hand for any car troubles or breakdowns, and will post my radio channel on the main writing board in the lodge.

i picked up my second key from HONDA in port huron, MI last Fall. Cost was $35 for the key itself and $35 for programming. Vital peace of mind.

I'd like to sit in on one of the valve adjustments. Don't need one as I completed it a week ago, but i'd like to back up my "go, no go" on the feeler gauge- I think i've got it right.

I'd love to schedule a clutch adjustment.

thank you and looking forward to the event.

This has me really second-guessing our decision to not attend RTD this year. Hmmm.....

kgf3076

Might there also be a lady who would attend with you, Tom? (as an added inducement, Steven Baxter will be doing paintless dent removal and there might also be a person doing wheel repair and refinishing).

onu2002

Yeah, we decided to attend Spring Fling in lieu of RTD this year, but Bill and Steven being there has me thinkin'.
