I found the owner's manual as well as a pair of latex gloves. Also the manual had the radio code after I just called Honda and pulled my HU to get it

It seems south Florida found a way around seat locks. They steal the car.

Holding the + button when the headlights are on is a good one. I was upset that they were so dim in the daytime with the lights on haha

If you have the top up, you can store ALOT in the tray. Just be careful not to scratch the windscreen.

just did this when I was installing the modifry DCI, wasn't going to do the SCV because I didn't have a splice-in connector, but then I realized it was the same wire you had to snip completely in order to put the top up and down while moving so the dual benefit convinced me to.

Here two "secrets" about the car that always comes in handy:

- Opening gas door behind the seat (not obvious to the first time buyer)

- and here is the biggest "secret" of them all that we all know about... something about accelerating past 6000 rpm, there seems to be a different side to the S2k...

Here's one that's not commonly known... you can unlink the auto a/c on in defrost and defrost/leg vent settings.


To deactivate automatic a/c feature on a 2002+ S2000:


1) Turn the ignition switch "on," but dont start the car.
2) Turn fan speed off.
3) Turn temperature knob all the way to the left (blue area).
4) Turn vent knob to all the way to the left (panel position).
5) Turn the ignitions switch "off."
6) Hold down both air recirculation button and a/c button while turning the ignition switch "on." Nothing lights up initially, keep waiting. The orange air recirculation indicator on the button will start flashing.
7) Continue holding both buttons until the orange air recirculation indicator stops flashing, then let go
