New s2k owner, woohoo!
I am the proud new owner of a Black s2k, 2000, 40000 miles.
I previously owned a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. Simply put, this car is amazing after driving the Tiburon for a little over a year. I installed Intake, Headers, Exhaust, and ported/polished intake manifold on it, but that still wasn't fast enough! So I test drove an s2k and was amazed. I almost got a Nissan 350z, but the s2k redlines at 9k, how can you beat that?!
Anyways, I bought it from Carmax. During the pre-buy inspection, we were testing the convertible top and while it was going down we heard "CRACK!". We put it back up and saw 2 large slashes on the rear vinyl window! That sucked, but it is being replaced tomorrow morning. I just hope carfax gives me a car to drive while it's being replaced.
Couple things about the s2k:
1. I noticed VTEC is non-functional when the engine is really cold. It got cold here recently and when I rev'd the engine to show-off to a co-worker and it went all the way to 6, then just died! Lol, a little embarrassing, luckily the engine didn't shutoff, but I figured I'll now wait until the engine warms up to 2 bars before I go beyond 6k.
2. Does the s2k come with HID's? Mine has hid's in it, didn't know if it was from the previous owner or not....
3. Torque Dampeners. I tried to find topics, but the search engine kept crapping out, and I only found a thread from 2 years ago. Do they make torque dampeners for the s2k?
4. Will the soft top with the glass window fit on my 00?
That's about it, I'll wait a while and get back to searching before I post more....I can't wait until it warms up soon. I also have a crapload of plans for this car.
