Default help..new to the s2k world

well ive had my s2k for about 2 months now..lately ive been getting alot of noise from the rear ..like a creaking sound when i go on uneven roads ..im not sure if its just the springs making the noise or if i need to lube some of the nuts and bolts down there..im also experiencing that popping sound when reversing or when accellerating my car from a stop ..i usually just goto speed concept ..but they didnt help...are there any good shops in the area that are pretty good at working with s2k or anybody that could help me with my problem..these noises are really starting to get annoying .

How do you drive the car first of all? It sounds like you like to launch the car.

Either have Paul Nix at Parker Johnstone's Wilsonville Honda or Eddie from Adrenaline Racing. Their information is posted on the resource page of this forum.

Does it creak when you drive on smooth road? Or does it just have all the time? What makes it worst?

Not sure, have you looked at your rear and see if anything is rubbing, suspension, exhaust, etc? Hard to say with the symptoms that you are experiencing and personally not seeing/hearing the car itself. If no one else here can provide you an answer I would have one of the two names I mentioned take a look at it.

Good Luck!
