Congrats - watch the snap over-steer and the OEM tires are only suitable for summer driving.

Keep an eye on the oil level. Back off a bit in the wet, especially if on the aforementioned OEM tires. Visit s2ki early and often. Enjoy.

check the oil level every week (oil is used) until you get a feel about the consumption rate.

keep an eye on wear spots on the top, early prevention of patching inside can save on tears.

depending upon where you live, seatlocks may be necessary, but should be purchased for peace of mind (due to people slashing tops and stealing oem seats).

s2ki has been a great resource for information, any question or problem you've encountered has most likely already happened to another member. so, search the appropriate section first, read up all you can, and if it isn't answered i'm sure a whole slew of us can help you out.

And you have a secret compartment above your glove box!

Just look near the latch for the glove box, there is another latch for the plastic piece above it, pull it up.
That's probably where your owners manual is.
