Evidently it's secret that the owners manual can answer pretty much any questions you may have about the car.
There are no "secrets" about this car, only a new generation of owners who can't or won't read.

Couldn't of said it any better. I was one of those owners well sort of long time ago

I didn't think this was a secret, but, given the amount of threads I've seen on said topic, I'm thinking it must be.

You have to keep tabs on the condition of your (rear) tires.

1) When pumping gas, once the pump shuts off, STOP. Do not top up (very short filler neck, you'll spill gas).
2) There is a design flaw so you need to be gentle and take just a tad more time when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear to avoid the "crunch".
3) Listen to Xviper. (Good to see you back XV )
Cheers,
Daniel

This is more of a secret to me, but I didn't know I had an OEM iPod adapter in my car until last month and I've had the car for over a year. My friend was sitting in and exploring the features when he randomly pulled it out behind the driver's seat and my jaw dropped. I bought blank CDs and have been burning music just for this car lol.

the adapter itself is not OEM but it plugs right into the OEM head unit I believe. I have considered something similar although I'm not sure if it's even worth it on an OEM system.

most of us bought this car used, so not everyone got a owners manual

I'm assuming so cause it plays music with the OEM headunit. I can cycle through songs using the buttons on the head unit as well, it powers on via the "aux" button.

Cut one wire located under the panel on passenger side dash, and you can raise/lower top wile moving with one click on up on the E brake.

This has been the statement used since the very first S2000 was bought second hand (probably back in year 2000). Owner's manuals are easy and cheap things to come by. You can even find them online.

You know what they say about making assumptions ........................
There is no "OEM" Ipod connectors for the S2000 head unit. What you got was a product that some aftermarket company made and marketed that plugs into the OEM socket for the OEM multi-CD disc changer. That's what "aux" controls. A previous owner installed it.
