Hello everyone

Just wanted to see if these figures are normal among s2k drivers.


I bought the car as salvaged title at 23k miles. It now has 194k miles

I still have original clutch and it still works just fine.

I just changed my first set of front brake pads at around 170k miles.

I get around 29~30 mpg.

Biggest problem I've had so far was my fuel injectors and ignition coils had to be replaced on last year around thanksgiving

And I lose about 1 quart of Mobile 1 oil every 1000 miles

So far the broken things are:
Rear window defroster
Passenger side power window button on the driver side
Sliding switch for adjusting mirror
Rips and holes on the soft top
One of the rear taillight bulb went out once

I've had 4 minor accidents that required external parts to be replaced and repainted. Some of the fit and paint is not so good anymore



But overall,
Car still runs like a proper s2000... and it's almost got 200k miles

 

Seems abt right ....read the thread I posted about an S with 273k that still runs and drives great ...the s2k is in a class of one , don't ever forget that

 

Glad you haven't had to have any major repairs. A testament to getting a 'good' salvage car.

That said, I don't know how in the world you got 150-170k out of the brake pads. Must be 99% highway miles.

 

I'll be lucky if I get 500 miles out of a set of pads during track days. lol

 

How the heck do you get 29 - 30 mpg? Are you sure you are driving it correctly???

 

<--- 250K. Just changed brakes for the first time 2 months ago. Replaced top last year. One bad coilpack incident... Other than that she is tip-top and running like a champ!

 

I get 27.7 mpg it was 28.6 in the summer. I-vtec errryday

 

He's got that urban legend Honda 'test' vehicle

Mine has 164k and breaks a lot, but I beat the piss out of it. At 200k I'm stripping mine and rebuilding it from the ground up

 

That's impressive that you'd get that many miles on your car after it was declared a salvage vehicle.

Before I got my S2000 I would have said that it would be impossible to get 170,000 miles on a set of brake pads, but the stock pads on this car hold up really well. I put 190,000 miles on my stock pads before I replaced them. Obviously, I do a lot of highway driving. I'm currently at 271,000 miles on my '03.

I still have my original injectors, coil packs, retainers, TCT, and just about everything else.

 

And I got 176,000 miles on mines and still running like a champ, no issues.
