For all we know, maybe she has a VAFC??? What about the valves, they have to be adjusted. (tuned) Engine oil is usually associated with a tune up. There is not much to tune on modern cars, but there is a lot of maintenance involved.

 

 

I'm sure he was just messin with you. You gotta lighten up. If he was really trying to be an ass, then you can deal with that. Doin your own work, gives you a sense of accomplishment, regardless if you are male or female and independent of the task you are doing. If you are able to do it, do it.

 

At first when I got my S2000 I just wanted to change the appearance, but when I drove it for a few weeks I wasn't happy with its performance. Don't get me wrong, it still performs well, but I was raised around cars (thanks to my dad and brothers) and I just want a better performance. I still don't know much about the car, but that's why I'm researching! DUH! My main goal is to just change the appearance. Also, I asked my boyfriend about that cold ass comment he told me, and he said he was just "playing around" but also looking out for my safety. I know of the dangers of working on a car, and I'm well prepared to handle them!

P.S.- Is a carbon fiber hood really worth it? (just curious you know)

 

If you like it, get it. Personally, I like the looks of them alot, but not enough to buy one.

our stock hood is damn light to begin with.. all you are doing with cf is dropping a little weight.. bling part imo.. it'd look hott tho fosho

 

I'm just gonna agree with everyone without reading the whole thread.. girls+s2k=hot

 

The hood and the trunk on the s2000 are aluminum. In order to install the CF hood, I've been told, you need to upgrade the hinges. Which negates any weight savings (if there were any to start off with). I've hear the head dissipation factor with the vents does help with performance, but we're not really tracking these cars every day, all day. And IMHO, it only looks good on a Berlina.

My advice : take the car out to a few track days, go out and do some Autocross and get to know the car first before you make any mods. The S might feel a bit slow at first due to the lack of low-end torque, but you get used to it and learn to appreciate the superior cornering ability of our cars.

 

I didn't have to replace anything with my CF hood. The trunk is next.

I love the way they look....

and I agree with you, she/he needs to take it out and really drive it. I had no idea my car could do the things it did this past weekend. I am even more impressed than I was when I bought it. I can't wait for WTD!!
