HEY!! He said 2002 only.. because that year was so special and different

 

I have a 2002. This particular 2002 was manufactured after the banjo bolt stuff became an issue, so I'm not worried about that. I am the third owner. I know nothing about the first owner other than that he put only 8000 miles on it in the four years he owned it. The second owner had it for 1 1/2 years, putting 3000 miles on it prior to letting it go for financial reasons. I have now had it for just short of a year and have put a bit less than 4000 miles on it.

The only services have been oil changes, and I replaced the OEM battery a couple of weeks ago because of my own stupidity--I stored the car without using a battery tender, and the battery wouldn't hold a charge after six weeks.

A couple of nicks on the Passenger door where the door of the beloved wife's Pilot dinged the car.

That's it!

No mods now, but I've got new wheels, tires, exhaust, and a CTSC in the garage, waiting to go on the car in the spring.

 

neuronbob, What month was your s2000 manufactured?

 

Mine is a 2002, bought in March of that year. 42,300 miles, always garaged and driven sensibly. Have been through three sets of rear tires, two sets of front tires, two batteries. Had the spark plug recall performed. Other than that, absolutely nothing other than scheduled maintenance has been required. The top is in excellent condition, no doubt helped by the garage environment.

Oh yes, I did get rear-ended six years ago. New rear bumper, trunk floor panel and exhaust system.

 

Mines an 02. I bought it used (1previous owner) at 27k miles. Its at 70k now. No problems so far. (knock on wood). It drives exactly like how it did when I first bought it and feels like it can go on for much longer. For comparison, my brother has a 2000 civic with the same mileage. I have driven the civic brand new and I can definately tell the civic does not drive like how it use too.

To add to that, all I have done is the regular maintenance. Tires, coolant, oil, tranny fluid, differential fluid, air and cabin filter, brake and clutch fluid.

 

I consider mine a 10 but the car only has 38,000 miles.
Mostly stock. It does go through oil however ... especially if I drive it hard.
I guess that's a common occurrence with AP1s.

 

vtec eats oil. normal.

 

2000? thought this was 2002 thread.

 

Back in 02 ran the 1/4 mile a few times, nothing since. Oh by the way the best time was 13.8 @ 102, completely stock. The changing of the rear hubs is quite common, a couple $ and retorquing to a higher setting...cured the "clicking" noise.
