any updates with your financing?

i agree, i used to buy extended warrenties, and whenever I needed them, the company always find a way to not pay for the work

now, i always refuse extended warrenties. plus, honda's are fairly cheap to fix, and very reliable.

good luck

Yes, i have the car in my possession since this saturday, loving ever single second of my life inside this vehicle.

One thing i noticed after a fill up is that the gas gauge is really unreliable. I lost 1/4 tank of gas by sitting on a uphill stop light, and it never went back to full. Used the search button as well as google, i guess the gas gauges being totally whacked out is completely normal with these cars?

So if the gauge itself is unreliable, does the yellow warning light turn on in a "reliable" manner to tell me when i need to fill up? LOL

Beautiful S man.

As for the fuel gauge, I had that similar problem on my AP1 model, but haven't had it on my current car, which is an 2007 AP2 (knock on wood)

What tires you guys recommend? This will be mostly a weekend driver only, not tracking it or anything, but the current 5 year old sumitomos HTR z III's are pretty dry rotted. Obviously I assume that would impact their performance, make them less grippy...

suggestions?

I've been running 16" Bridgestone SO2's since the car was new, this season I'm upgrading to 17" Enkei RPF1's and have decide to go with the RS3's as everyone that I know that has tried them has loved them. Hopefully they'll be on before this weekend.

Well you are way up there in upstate NY, do you drive you s2k in the winter at all? and if so you going to do so on these tires as well? Usually summer tires don't fair well in cold temperatures.

Too much salt on the roads up here during the winter months for the S. The car usually rests from Nov/Dec till March/April.
