Obviously not very tall because rain hurts at 30mph+ when it smacks me in the forehead when I drive the S and get caught in the unexpected. And trust me hail at 60+ hurts even more. This is the only ragtop with a windshield I have had this problem with but the car is worth it.

To keep my hat on I stick my shades over the bill and that works since that is pretty much the only thing I use sunglasses for.

dont park under trees. besides avoiding bird crap and tree sap you avoid denting your hood from debris like acorns and sh1t. the hood is that soft

 

 

With the drivers window down, the plastic window guide on the top front of the door is very pointy sharp especially when you lean down from outside to open the hood latch. It looks like it could put out an eye.

 

What's a quick way to take care of bird doo on the car paint?

 

I have discovered a few things while driving the car:

1: Never ever ever drive with any of the seats all the way back. The metal on the back of the headrest and the plastic rub together and leave wonderful scratches. (My father puts the seats all the way back whenever he drives and it pisses me off)

2: Have a small box in the trunk for change. I have a fossil watch box to keep change in.

3: Use the dash radio controls as much as possible. The repeated application of oil from you fingers will begin to discolor your plastic radio door.

4: If you purchased a Honda S2000 Service Manual with your car, or bought one afterwards, I find that it fits quite well in the styrofoam jack holder (in the area for the tire when you have a spare) You never know when you may run into a problem when you are on the road and will need to diagnose your car's problem. If possible, try to diagnose your problem before taking it to a specialist.

hey I got a new one, a little anal perhaps but whatever...

somebody once mentioned using the little paper towels at the gas stations (for cleaning the windshield with the squeegee) to catch any gas drips from the nozzle. (I've tried turning the handle upside down, doesn't really work all the time.) ideally you put a folded up paper towel on the flat part of paint that tends to get dripped on.

anyway, I tended to forget to grab a new towel when I filled up until I decided to fold up the paper towel and stuff it into the little pocket area above and behind the gas cap. now, whenever I fill up, it's right there for me to see. I just unfold it and put it down to catch the gas. try it, you'll see.

it's a perfect reminder for each time you fill up, AND you recycle the paper towel rather than wastefully using a new one each time just to catch a drip or two of gas.

 

This one is in the owner's manual, but if there's one thing I've learned on s2ki, it's that some folks don't read it.

Anyway, if you have your headlights on when it's not completely dark, the automatic dimming of the dash lights can make the speedo, tach, etc. hard to see. To fix this, you can press and hold the + button and the dash lights will go back to the brighter setting. Quickly press the - button to switch back.

 

Keep the tyre gauge in the glovebox or secret compartment for quick access during breaks at the track.

If you have the OE CD changer in the trunk, you can actually fit stuff in the area to the left of it and not worry about it flying around during high lateral-g manoeuvers. I keep my bottle of oil, funnel, and rag there. In the main trunk, I keep a torque wrench near the front. Owner's manuals, glass cleaner, paper towels, and sets of brake pads go in the space behind it. I also have a warning triangle attached to the rear of the trunk, so this stuff fits perfectly.

Get one of those little plastic tyre tread measuring gadgets and measure your tread regularly. Just eyeballing it can be difficult for the OE rears, as the tread pattern makes them look more worn out than they really are.

When inserting the key, keep your finger near the tip of the key to help guide it in and avoid scratches, especially in the dark.

Handle the aeroscreen by the plastic frame to prevent any damage or fingerprints.

or just always use the remote entry keyfob to open the doors and trunk. for me, the key is only for putting in the ignition... and occasionally locking the glove box.
