Default just bough AP1 2003 SB

This if my first s2k and i couldnt be more happy with it. Its a 2003 and in immaculate shape. Previous owners were an older couple that babied the thing...60000 miles on it...couple pics







Ive researched the heck out of these but had very little experience actually driving them until i bought this one...very easy drive and Extremely fun!! I have no plans to beat this thing up..plan to keep it fairly stock

Just want to know if its worth taking it to the dealer to be inspected: valve adjustment, compression, spark plugs, etc... that may need to be checked..anyone think its worth it?

im new to the s2k game but not to the honda scene..this is my 05' accord V6 on Function and form coilovers that will be my daily

Thanks guys! Any advice on taking it in to Honda to get everything checked out?

An hell yeah I guess it is in a wierd spot! Didn't notice that until you pointed it out... Have no idea why it would be there! The paint is mint and there is no scratches or marks where the s2000 symbol should be

Beautiful! Dealerships are hit and miss. Some are great, others aren't to be trusted. Find your local community sub-forum and see who everyone recommends.

I love that colour. welcome.

turn your rad cap a few more degrees- looks off. brake fluid looks dirty- unless its super blue- but i doubt that older couple would have used that stuff.

Change every fluid on the car (=brake, clutch, diff fluid(every year), trans fluid, rad fluid (use honda fluid only, but you don't have to do that till 2013 sometime- 10 year), use oem PCX-004 oem oil filters, spec valve adjustment ( intake .008, exhaust .010). compression test if you';re anal. Change spark plugs oem spec.

enjoy.
