Default New S2000 Owner

Greetings Everyone

Picking up my new 2001 S2000 in Silverstone.

From what I can tell is it very stock. Not even the head unit has been changed.

My plan for this car is to drive and enjoy it this fall and keep it as close to stock as possible. Over the winter will do some restoration and freshening up.

For winter projects I am thinking about:
- Getting the rims refinished
- Replace a few worn/broken interior parts

In prep for a good fall driving season I am going to replace all the fluids: transmission, oil, coolant, brake fluid and diff.

Any other suggestions of good preventative maintenance would be appreciated.

Excited to start my journey with this car and join this community!

Welcome to the group, it's a great car! I'd recommend, if it hasn't been done....as long as you're changing the coolant, replace all the coolant hoses, the thermostat, and if you can afford it replace the radiator with an aluminum one. I like to change all the brake hoses to stainless, put in a new OEM clutch master, slave cylinder and a stainless clutch line. With all the fluids changed, and a valve adjustment...also checking the brake pads and rotors.....you'll have many more years of hassle free driving....Nothing like the old days of British roadsters ....love'em but you had to carry a tool chest in the trunk...LOL!!

Hello All,

I've had my S for almost 2 years now. My weekend warrior. Love it. (2005 GPW, tan interior, 69K miles)

Mostly just lurk on here for information and don't post.

Looking to get a Billman TCT. Anybody know how a forum noob like me gets ahold of him? Thank you for any help!

|| Keep it between the lines ||

Do you have a recommendation for the stainless steel clutch line. For brakes I see that LHT performance recommends the Goodridge 20111 kit.

Hello S2K team!

New to S2KI and my first S2000. Formula red 2004 AP2 coming in sometime next week! Very excited about the car and I am sure will be looking for a lot of advice from the gurus soon! Will likely need a good and reputable shop for soft tope replacement, not as much concerned about price .... quality of the job is way more important! Vinyl or Canvas top? Give me some ideas please......

Anton
