Mike (and any other MY00 - MY03 owners),

Check your oil!

Our cars have a thirst for the stuff (which is normal), and need to be fed a lot more than just at oil change intervals. Check the dipstick at every fill up until you get used to the consumption of your specific car.

Hello everyone!

I live in Albuquerque, NM, USA.

I sold my 1990 Turbo Talon AWD and picked up a 2002 Vortec supercharged Suzuka Blue S2000 about two months ago. My talon was a much faster car but lacked the handling refinement of the S2000. The S2000 is a superb piece of machinery and I am very happy with it.

I immediately replaced the stock stereo system with Alpine and JL, did some interior repair on the armrest, had the body dings removed, buffed out most of the tiny scratches, put a new windshield in, and have a ACT clutch on order.

Still need to replace/repaint the front clip and lower the gear ratio to 4.55-4.77.

Anyone with advice, suggestions or questions send me a message.

Kevin

The 4.77 gear will really make your car a torque monster, but you'll also be revving quite high on the highway. I've heard from others that the 4.57 gear is more "livable"

Anyway, welcome aboard Kevin!!

Hello from Sunny Florida.

I took delivery of an 02 Sebring Silver S2K.
I've been wanting one for several years and I found this one it was the right miles and right price,soI traded in my RSX Type S...I like to keep it in the Honda/Acura family. I also own a Honda Ridgeline.

Welcome Erock. Congrats! On the MY02, be very careful to watch the oil dipstick at every fillup. MY00 - MY03 tend to burn oil (normal) and you don't want to let it get low.
