I'll be picking up my s2000 which has been reserved for me in Pennsylvania this Thursday and driving it back to New Hampshire and I'm beyond excited. I hope to use this forum often and to get to know the community!
Congrats! Would you be able to get by without a daily though? (1st world question, I know... But I find that I won't fully enjoy my S2000 if I didn't have a daily)

At this point I dont see why I would need one. I'm no stranger to daily-ing pretty barebones vehicles in the past, and when I moved to the Accord it being so big and comfortable sounded great and the power was awesome but I grew to hate the creature comforts it had and its why I ended up getting rid of it. I daily my motorcycle (an 09 Buell xb12r) basically all summer anyway, so I dont think it would be much of an adjustment. Ive got the option of buying a beater civic for the winter, and I only work about a mile from home anyway. You're only 22 with no kids once if you know what I mean!

One for each foot! I can't give you crap, they're fun cars in their own right. Stock for stock, S2k is a little more... raw than the Miata.

Hello everyone. Brand new to this. I purchased an 05' in Rio Yellow in 2018. It had 35,000 kilometres (just over 21,000) miles. I purchased it in Niagara Falls Ontario but it is actually an American car that was brought up here in 2008. Garage kept all of its life and is very clean. Just ordered some new tires for it as it still had the originals! Looked forward to chatting with you all.

Last drive of the year in 2019. It was one of those perfect days

Default Thank you !

It is a car that stirs the soul, as did the weather that day...a fitting end to the summer.

Hey All, new owner of a 2006 Sebring Silver S2000 in Southwest Florida. Just picked it up with 112K miles on it. Mechanically it's in great shape but the exterior needs some work. I've already restored the headlights, up next a new top. The transmission on this thing is magical!

Hello everyone, just bought my first s2000. 2005 GPW with tan interior, 69k miles, I am the second owner. Looking for advice on maintenance since I got the car from a dealership in Arkansas, I drove 5 1/2 hrs from Dallas and back. The first owner was an older asian lady apparently, but I need to change all the fluids and get an alignment, any recommendations of shops in the DFW area?

Thanks!

Welcome to s2ki. I too just picked up the same color of a car 3 weeks.ago.

First thing to do is to replace all fluids. Motor, tranny and differential

yes I would think so, are you in DFW? I’d like someone to help me do it or I’d pay for a reliable source to do it for me.
