Hi all,

Purchased an 06 Bermuda Blue S2000 GT last Friday and am enjoying the experience so far!

I would like to say hello to all the current members!

As an intro is there anything really important i should know about owning one of these banzai cars?

Thanks,

Simon.

 

yeah post some pics and start practice drifting arond your neighborhood, theres no better way to learn it.

 

Thanks for the tips, will get some pics up soon!

In reference to the drifting i have been pushing it a little bit more this week, and have discovered it can be a real handful, but also alot of fun!

Simon.

 

Welcome, Simon. I've had my AP1 for a couple of years now and it still puts a smile on my face everytime I hit 6k RPM's

Regarding your question of anything you should know: I found it helpful to read some of the sticky threads regarding FAQ's, Oil Journals, and stuff like that. There is a lot of info. on this site and a lot of do it yourself advice that will save you$$$

Hope you've found the "secret" compartment and fuel cap release knob

 

and welcome.....

 

Congrats on the car. Some things I was either told or researched myself prior to purchase that I think are very important:

1. Don't skip gears. It will kill your synchros.
2. Check oil often. At least weekly.
3. The differential is weak. Likely the weakest part of the car so no abuse--hard launches, donuts, etc.
4. Make sure your top is retracting properly to prevent premature tearing: http://www.modifry.com/products/ctf/details.htm

Any questions, feel free.
