Default So what should I know about these?

I just purchased a Certified Used '07 New Formula Red S2000 /w 4 miles and I'm loving it so far. Is there anything that I should know other than an S2000 is a blast.

I wish I had the money to do some Mods to it, but unfortunately I do not.

4 miles??? 4000 right?
=P

Well, three things:
1) How to disable the AC for defrost. I leave mine on; but it's nice to know in case you want to disable the auto-A/C.

2) Check for spring spacers

3) Good luck trying to wipe that grin off your face.

It actually had 4.0 miles on it. It never sold as new so the dealership sold it to the used car side.

1. Yes i'd like to know how to do that.

2. Spacers?

3. I do have that problem.

the spring spacers are little blocks that are in between the coils of the springs. Sometimes the dealer doesnt take them off or they miss the ones in the back. Just lift your car up and look at the sprins to make sure you dont see any of them in there. You may be able to find a better description if you go and search for spring spacers. It has been talked about quite a bit before. It shouldnt be hard to find. Congrats on the car man. Oh, and you wont gety rid of the grin on your face either. I have had mine for a few years now and i still cant get rid of it. Take it easy man.

be careful! I had mine spin out on me the second day of owning it... nailed a curb, haha. This is an awesome car but it demands respect.

enjoy the car without pushing it. yes you can take corners better now but that doesn't necessarily mean faster.
