Just picked up my 02 s2000 a few weeks ago. it has close to 40k miles on it. i was wondering if theres any regular maintence that should be done if it hasnt allready, such as spark plugs, fuel filter etc. ive allready had the lsd fluid changed. any way heres a couple pics.

 

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.

 

Looks

One question : how did you get it down those stairs without damage?

 

nice color choice, car looks like its in great condition

 

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.

 

Just like any other Hi-Po car.

 

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

 

fellow celica owner correct? i think i saw these pics on newcelica.org congrats on the purchase.
