so i just got my s2000 last week...its an 03 with 42,000 miles....the previous owner only had it for 9 months and did not have any maintenance records other than an one oil change record....so my question is..what does everyone think i should check and replace? im definitely going to replace the intake air filter and the cabin air filter...anything else? diff fluid? tranny fluid?

 

yes and yes. Clutch fluid as well.

 

Better to be safe then sorry

 

i will definitely do that...how big of a difference will i notice in the way it drives by replacing all the above said items

 

There is no way for us to know since you don't have records of previous work done nor do we have a chance to drive it now.

It could be night and day or virtually no difference.

 

Now thinking about it....I would recomend replacing the stock air filter with a K&N filter. I also felt that the car was not as notchy when I changed the transmission fluid. Just smoother all around.

Blinker fluid.

Make sure you take a good look at brake pad and tire brand and inner edge tread remaining.

 

i'd check the clutch fluid, dunno about replacing it... you should be ok assuming your CMC isn't leaking like mine.

 

Brake fluid. It's rarely an issue, but when it is, it is. It's worth a flush.

 

Follow the owner's manual.
