YoG,

First of all, welcome! Your car looks beautiful. Get that front plate off there, though.

2nd, I think you got your color incorrect in your profile. In the states, we have New Formula Red. I'm not sure what Monza Red is, but I think that's a JDM home-market color.

3rd, you appear to be a fellow Mass-hole ( ), so come visit with us in the regional, New England forum!!! https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showforum=9

4th, there's oh-so-much we've posted over the last few years about what to watch for. Please have a look at my FAQ at the top of the intro page, and see if that helps get you started.

5th, I recommend changing *all* the fluids on the car, given the age and mileage, and you must also check the torque on your sparkplugs. There was a recall at the end of 2002 which replaced the plugs and changed their torque settings.

6th, watch your dipstick. Our year (and earlier) have an appetite for oil, and you don't want to get caught low. Check it every fillup or two.

Best wishes.

thanks for the comments, just ordered the OEM lip. cant wait to get it on there. the front end looks 5x better with it on. Also i read a thread not too long ago about a "secret compartment" where the owners manual is. is there such a thing and where is it ???

YoG, have a look through the FAQ thread. You'll find a link to it there.

I was unaware that the S2000 is hi-poalergenic up until now.
