Default New S2K Owner!

Hello,

I am new to the S2Ki community since I recently purchased a 2002 S2000 in Spa Yellow Pearl w/ ~40k miles.

May someone point me in the right direction for the typical maintenance needed for this car? Thanks in advance!

1. Spec Valve adjustment (IN .008, EX .010)/retainer check with plugs and valve cover gasket
Set the valve lash to the maximum spec. Exhaust .001" over spec is fine too.
2. new 200 - 340 UTQG summer tires
3. Euro spec alignment
4. Rear axle nut s2ki retorque
5. Clutch interlock bypass
Only if you want to put the car thru your garage wall.
6. Catalytic converter O2 sensor extension/defouler
7. zero ALL FLUIDS with OEM spec Honda Coolant (q10 yrs in 2012, then every 5 years thereafter), quality synthetic rear diff fluid (75w110 or 75w140), ONLY honda spec oil filter (PCX-004 or replacement)
8. HVAC filter replacement
