Noob Here
Hello All,
I recently purchased a 2006 S2000 and am here to bask in the wealth of knowledge that I've, up till this point, been lurking. A little background: My DD is a 2003 V6 Accord coupe. Love that car, love Honda, always wanted an S. Found one hiding in Butte, MT and couldn't resist. Best car decision I've ever made. It's got some poorly-fitting, chrome Foose wheels and the previous owner painted the factory calipers orange (and it's peeling). Waiting on some black SSR GTV02 wheels that will hopefully fit better and not rub the fenders every time I hit a dip in the road(I hate that sound, sounds like pain). Other than the fashion statements, the S is stock: Silverstone with red-black interior, extremely clean under the hood and has only 33k miles on it. I plan to keep it stock for a bit longer, then hopefully forced induction, clutch, lower, stiffer, lighter. I'm also toying with the idea of autocross, there's a club that races here in Bozeman and in Helena. First, I need to learn the car. This is my first manual car, although I've known how to drive stick for a while. I'm really excited to be here and hope to drain the rest of you of all your tips/tricks/hints.

Careful on the corners, I drifted against the curb the first month I bought the car
and welcome....

Themikewoo, that signature of yours has a ton of info, thanks. I already put Amsoil in the crank, trans, and diff. I also changed my plugs to a set of Pulstars. The wheels will be SSR GTV02 17x7 front, 18x8.5 rear with the maximum offset SSR offers. not sure what tires I'll get but I'm on a budget, so nothing too spectacular.
