Well, I just returned after 36 hours...took the flight from NY to Milwaukee. Took a taxi to the s2000 that I won the bid on. Out of this dilapidated garage came out a beautiful 2005 s2k with 7900 miles. Owner has not been feeling well over the years and was giving the car up. Transaction was great and soon my 1000 mile drive began. This car is way more comfortable than I anticipated with the help of a sweatshirt as lumbar support. I do notice the first gear clunk at a dead stop and wonder if the 2005 has the upgraded mtf or not. Car handles exceptionally well and she moves. What should I anticipate doing to her since she is past 7500 miles?

Speaking of lumbar support, the center of the inner part of the seat backs aren't attached, so if you wanted to, you could stuff a towel or something back there. Until you mentioned that, I totally forgot I did that years ago when I first got my car. Glad you got it home safe! The first gear clunk might be normal. Might think about replacing the tires. I realize they might look brand new but if they're the original tires from 2005, they may be nearing, or in excess of, their shelf life.
