Well 57,000 kms (~35,000 miles) of happy motoring later my Silver S2000 is celebrating 4 years of being parked in my garage tonight!

No, I haven

Congrats to you. Its good to hear some positive service stories because the problem stories usually take to the forefront.

My S2 was also built in Jun99. I purchased mine last year from the orginial owner. According to his service records and my experience, I've only had to replace the battery.

With 48,000km its been a dream to own for myself and the prior owner. VIN is 800146, i really dont know where the engine # is.. I'll have to check that out.

I'm due to register mine as well, but I think I'll pre pay for 2 years.

congrats!!!

mine is #195 (or is it 295? - can't remember)

80,000KM and going incredibly strong....very few issues with mine as well.

FWIW, this is the longest i've ever owned a car - i usually get bored pretty quickly - but not with this one!!!

(my friend's think something is wrong with me b/c i've been driving the same car for more than a year )

4th set of brake pads!?! I've only got 2000 miles on my '03. Can I expect the brake pads to wear out that quickly? Do you avoid downshifting to slow the car? Is this normal? Thanks.

Not normal. Other members have educated me that stock pads last about 28K.

Hmm, I now have 40000 miles on my car...4th set of rear tires, but still on the original brake pads I believe. According to the tech who checked my brakes (I think I have a warped rotor), I still have prolly 40% left. When is the recommended change time? It's possible they changed those at the 30k service if it was called for. And no I don't take it that easy on my brakes...at least according to my passengers .

You're right Asura - those track days are what contributes to the wear and tear.

There is one particular track I go to which has a 200kmh straight (5th gear) turning right into a tight 80kmh (2nd gear corner) - it chews out pads like they are going out of style. Come to think of it, I may actually be on my 5th set of front pads.

Good to see all the Torontonians weighing in - I spent 4 years living in North York around a decade ago - it's a great city.

Happy B/day to the turkeymobile. I thought you were leading up to telling us you were letting her go. Glad to see a happy ending though.
