Yea, my knees are so close to the dash they basically touch, but since i moved the seat forward and then leaned the back back they no longer get in the way of steering

I saw the thread for lowering the seat, i was about to do it, then decided not to modify the seats and try to make them work as is, if that failed, then i was going to mod it.

There is only one way and one way only to get in and get out.

I used to swing my legs out first, but the Clazzio suede seats put a stop to that. I think the trick to being over six feet and exiting with any grace is powering your way out with both hands on the wheel for leverage.

Every time I get out I try to tell myself "don't slide on the bolster!"

My grandkids tell everyone how funny it is to watch grandpa get in and out of his little car.

that sucks, the s2000 is one of the few reasons I am happy not being any taller. I think 5'-10" is about as tall as you can be to sit comfortably in this car. maybe 5'11"...
Nope I'm 6"4 ...I fit ..because i want to ....and guess what Ive found a grt seating position . Drove my car to fl and back , coming home I wished I lived in Maine . I've owned an S2k for over 8 yrs , and never plan on selling mine ...that is unless I grow one more inch ,then I'd sol

Im not entirely sure about AP2s, but its always a good idea to keep an eye on your fluids regardless.

And no the car will not warn you when your oil is getting low, if you see the red oil light of death, its already too late.

A depressing secret; AP1 redlines are actually 8900 rpms.. SSSHHHHH
Best oil to use?
