Hello all. First of all, I just want to say that this is a great site, and thanks to s2ki for all the information provided about the car. I should be getting my new s2000 very soon, and I hear that one must "break in" the car before driving it like it was meant to be driven. Could someone please tell me how I should go about doing this? Thanks.

 

Basically, don't vtec for the first 600 miles. For more info, search for "break in" and you'll have more than enough to keep you busy.

Congrats and welcome, btw.

 

Goto the FAQ page. Very good info there like Taking Delivery and other topics like the one below concerning oil and break-in of the engine.

I'm betting that Pleasanton has beat out Scott's Valley for the most S2000's per capita in the Bay Area, once you get yours.

Just keep the engine under 6000 rpms for the first 600 miles. They break in better on mountain roads, so I would suggest driving up Mt. Diablo when you first get it, then go find Calaveras Road, Palomares Road, and Redwood Road. Be sure to let the car cool off between runs. Once you have a couple of hundred miles on it, run it up Mines Road to the junction, then on to Mt. Hamilton. That plus whatever daily driving you put on it should get it to about 600 miles, then rev to 9000 rpms and enjoy.

To get in touch with other Bay Area S2000 owners, go to the Clubs section and click on Bay Area S2000 Owners. There are quite a few local activities going on and we would love to have you come join us.

 

thanks to all who replied. sadly, the s2k i was trying to purchase was marked up in the last week, and it is beyond a reasonable price range. now i'm wondering if anyone knows where to find a decent priced s2k online. i've been looking on ebay motors, and that seems to be my best bet right now. any help would be appreciated.

 

HEY SOTEIPC If you want a great game with many cars to tune up and race, consider either Gran Turismo 2 or 3

 

Try some of the online sites. Also, WHEN you get your S2000, it would probably be best if you drive it home safely and then read your manual.

 

Try this site .......... dealers who sell S2000 at MSRP !
