Default Introduction!

I just got this ap2 s2000 a few days ago. Always wanted to own one. I've read that billman is the man when it comes to tct. Unfortunately I cannot send messages due to having a fairly new account although it was a month ago.

New account and no posts. Use @Billman250 when you mention him and he'll get notified of the post. (He'll see this one.)

Don't wait for TCT problems. Install this as preventive maintenance. Takes 10 minutes, hand tools, and a paper towel once you find the tools buried in your tool box. I did it in "office casual" attire -- couldn't wait -- and didn't get anything dirty. Read and follow the instructions! The bolts he will provide must be used. Pulling the safety clip out the front of the engine is the only scary part -- don't drop it inside the engine.

Testing my knowledge of S2000 colors and wheels: that's a 2007, right? There are two or three S2000s that color in my part of the county -- and easy to spot. A rare color with only 1810 (2.7%) of the US imports, second in rarity here only to Chicane Silver Metalic with 760 cars (1.1%). My car is, of course, Silverstone 18,814 (28.1%). Sometimes ya gotta take what you can get.

Thanks for the correction! 2006 was indeed the first year for Laguna Blue Pearl. (Cleaning my glasses as I type this. )

Try PMing Bill. I see your account can receive PMs so maybe you can send them.
