Welcome to the area man. I live in Mobile. We get together every second Saturday around 5:30pm in Malbis at Dillards for the Eastern Shore Cruise Inn. Come check it out and we could hook up and talk. Always looking for more S2000 to show up. Later BD

What do you need done on your S2000? There aren't many things I haven't done on the S2000, and I am willing to help. I will be working on mine and another S2000 most of the day Saturday. I live in Gulf Breeze.

Brought mine in for a valve adjustment earlier this week. The mechanic said it was his first s2000 he worked on. During the adjustment he said and i quote "during the valve adjustment we noticed two of the valve seats have pulled out". Personally i dont know much about cars lol but my car drives pretty much fine and I dont think his terminology was right, so im looking for a second opinion. Maybe he meant cracked valve retainers. Sorry it isnt much to go by, I couldnt get him
to explain it much better. Btw I own a 2001 with low miles (39k).
And bama dave,
