Default What tools are needed for a nub working on the S?

I am trying to learn how to work on my S2000 and would like to create my own "garage" so to speak. What do you all recommend I purchase to begin building my supply of tools?

right attitude. Go to sears and get one of there tool kits, a good kit should be from $100+.

try to get a kit with lots of sockets, deap and regular. also try to get one that has a complete set of wrenches. Look to see whats in the kits, some kits have MORE tools, but they are tools you wont use ever. get a good screw driver set and a torque wrench. that's a good starter kit.

Remember honda is mostly 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 17mm. there are other sizes here and there but these are the most common.

Good luck

Xavier

A Helm factory service manual will pay for itself in the info it provides. www.helminc.com
