In my other car [95 VW,] I keep a fiberglass pipe repair kit and some water. It saved my backside when a radiator hose let go. I also have a portable jump start device, too. My S is too new for both these items, but owners of older cars may want to take note.

 

any bodly no what this is? get clicking sound coming from one of the back wheels in reverse?

 

Spindle nut needs to be re-torqued, most likely.

Common problem that is typically covered under warranty.

 

what is the torque for the spindle nuts?

 

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your input. These tips will help me immensely. I am picking up my new '05 S2K tomorrow. YEAH!!

 

hi hockey mate where the spindle nut

 

I got my S2000 about two weeks ago. The first thing I noticed was those slots in the radio door. This was perfect for me because I don't carry much in my wallet, so these slots are perfect for holding 3-4 cards each, like my blockbuster, best buy, aaa, and various grocery store savings cards.

 

Haven't seen this one yet so -

Don't set the parking brake when the brake rotors and calipers are wet after washing or driving in the rain. They will rust up in a short time and make a godawful sound when you have to break them loose, especially in reverse.

Shouldn't cause any damage though.

 

I read this thread about 3 months ago when researching the car, and just wanted to thank all for the insights provided. Now that i am an owner, it's really helped!

 

You're welcome.
