Hello everyone.

I searched the forums a bit but really didn't find any relevant posts.

I have a 2003 S2000 with just over 30,000 miles.

Should I be looking into replacing suspension parts? Or doing some engine maintenance?

Just wondering if the years have an impact on parts. I follow maintenance schedules to a tee for every car I've ever owned, but the S2000 is an exception since I don't drive it as often - I have an RSX Type-S that I drive in bad weather.

What do you guys think?

It's a Honda. 30k miles is nothing unless you suspect it was abused before you got it. If you're worried, change all fluids and filters and then start your own schedule. Suspension damage would indicate sever abuse, check compression and leak-down if you're concerned about engine condition. A lot depends on your driving patterns, mileage, and winter conditions. Mine is a garage queen but she even gets out during the winter since our weather is mild (Houston). My daughter's MY01 is wintering in Houston since she just moved to Minnesota so it is getting a thorough maintenance update in moderate weather (easier for me).

 

In the honda service manual there is both miles and years beside servicing. Follow the years of course.

 

Put it on a lift and inspect underneath. If anything is worn, leaking, or loose; fix it.

Suspension should be service free for a long time unless it was idle too long or abused. Stay OEM unless you really want to start spending.

 

i have an '01 with 39k at the moment and HELL NO i dont do anything but main fluids, gonna do the coolant and brake/clutch maybe before summer. Thats the beauty of a honda!

 

I have an 05' with 105k miles and haven't had any issues (knock on wood). Got the valves adjusted at 90k, replace brakes and tires as needed, and change the fluids as needed and she runs like a top.
