Taking my GPW into the local Honda dealer tomorrow for it's annual visit. Expecting to do an oil change and PA state inspections, plus my passenger seat TRACK is stuck...want them to look at that.

***Are there any specific issues that I should have evaluated as the mileage approaches 85,000 miles?***

I have to say that , in general, I am AMAZED EVERY DAY AT HOW GREAT THIS CAR DRIVES...shifting as smooth as ever, stopping on a dime and very few little things breaking. Absolutely amazing for a car that is +15 years old

Bring on that 2018 new S2000 and I will sign up promptly on the waiting list! Hoping to remain trouble-free for another two years and then decide what...in anything....to do next.

Jerry,

Ever had the valves adjusted?
Spark plugs changed?
Any TCT noise?
Trans and diff fluids?
Brake and clutch fluids?
Re-grease shifter?
Air filter?

i dont think the recommended maintenance goes in depth until 100-120 thousand miles unless something breaks. some owners suggest vale adjustment before that 'cause exhaust on ap2s can be too tight in approx half of cars checked.

Ho,I forgot,re-check the welds on the Supersprint.

Some American's think cars should run for ever right out of the dealership.

Definitely, check the valve lash. Kinda back breaking job --- even with the "hood trick" applied. But, almost all AP2 era cars will have tight exhaust valves. Can lead to burnt ones ---> $$$ valve jobs.

Good luck with new car!

Edit: Good luck, with old car. (gotta learn to read threads, before posting).

Might want to consider replacing the serpentine belt. Did mine on my '03 this year. Belt looked good, but was outside the acceptable "stretch" as indicated on the tensioner.

Indicator should be within the step in the gage. This pic shows a belt that has stretched slightly beyond the limit.

Thanks to Emil and others for suggestions. I talked to the Honda service advisor and it turns out that the tech working on the car HAS an S2000 himself....so that's surely a good thing! I asked him to have the serpentine belt "stretch" checked....likely OK.

Just checked mine,(MY2000,built July 1999,72000 miles,)right smack in the middle of the step in the guage.

Don't forget to have them check your muffler bearings.
