Going the distance...
Hey guys,
I'm rollin' 92K miles at the moment and will hit 100K soon.
The only true failure I've had on this car since picking it up from the dealer in 2002 was a bad plug coil which I diagnosed last year (using a technique I learned from Scott). I thought I'd let the oil get too low, but no... it was minor, and you guys were out there to help me figure it out!!! The whole ownership experience has been a real joy. I been driving this car like I stole it for 8 years, and I can't point to a single reason why I shouldn't just go on doing that. Honda rocks.
I have yet to experience another car that suits me better than the S, and I think I'm likely to drive it until it becomes difficult to maintain -- who knows when that will be? The car couldn't be *easier* to maintain as it is now!
Anyway, toward that end, what do you guys think are important things to do at 100K? I remember Pinky changed his injectors at around 80K, but should I even worry about that? Is there anything specifically that needs to be done proactively? I can't actually think of anything.
Just looking for some thoughts. I have gone through various fluid changes on the car, and I usually keep to schedule on that stuff. I've probably slacked off on a few things.

I had a 140k on my s2k before it got stolen. Major things by 100k would be plugs, valve adjustments, clean the throttle body, maybe a fuel system cleaning.

ya due a full fluid change oil, diff, tranny, and radiator, plugs never hurt, and a good cleaning of your fuel system isn't bad, not necessary imo but still good. take it in for an alignment if needed or have them check they suspension bushing to keep her handling like new. i needed a clutch about 120k just so you know it will be coming in a little while. and keep driving it like you stole it... as long as it wasnt' joji's

my first s2k was stolen in astoria ny and found in brooklyn stripped 5 years ago. it was a 01 with 140k. that thing was beat to death by the time it got stolen. Im on my 3rd s2k. Love the s2000s especially this past weekend.
