I just purchased an o1 S2k with 40K miles on it. the color is Indy Yellow with Black int. I found the secret compartment and found my manual. I'll be getting the title next monday or tues and then prob bring it home wed. I'm all excited.

 

Welcome to the experience

Its all good from here (as long as you treat it with the respect due you'll be doing plenty of )

Good Luck

 

welcome

 

Welcome!

I've got the exact same car with 65k on it. It's been awesome so far...

Expect to replace the rear plastic window and / or whole top within the next year or so, unless it's already been done. (Take a look at the top towards the rear on the inside near the top of the side windows, you'll see some wear marks and possibly small holes from the inside out)

Mechanically this things are built really well. I'd change the oil / diff fluid and tranny fluid ASAP since you probably don't know when they were last changed.

Oil - 10w-30 (I used Mobil 1)
Diff - 75w-90 (I used the Redline Synethetic)
Tranny - GM Friction Modified Syncromesh Fluid. (GM / Chevy dealers stock it, do a search for the exact part #)

You'll notice a big difference when you put in the GMFMS.

When you check the oil on the dipstick, make sure you look at both sides and use the value on the lower side. I find that it seems to run a little happier keeping it right in the middle. It will use oil. I go through about a quart every 3000 miles, which seems pretty average. Per Honda, up to a quart per 1000 is "normal". (For comparison, my friends 325i Convertible says a quart every 400 miles is "normal")

Uhm... What else...

If you decide you want to change the bumper or get something painted, make sure you get some quotes. Yellow seems to be quite a bit more expensive to paint and match than any other color.

 

What secret compartment?
