Here's the update:

I picked up my car from Lute Riley and aside from having it for longer than expected (2 days instead of 1) I'm quite pleased.

I had the sb054 (vibrating clutch disc) and sb055 (2nd gear grind) performed. I requested Thip and Thip did the work. Less than 5 miles were put on my car.

The new clutch disc took all of the vibration noise away and if it's any louder than the original under *any* circumstances, I can't tell. It seems to grab a little better, but that may just be because it has fewer miles on it. I haven't really stressed it yet.

The new gears make a huge difference, but I still get what I call "crunchy" shifting in all of the gears. It's less noticible in the higher gears, but it's there. The gears aren't actually grinding, but it's not that butter smooth shift that I often get. And it doesn't happen all the time.

Lute Riley also polished my rear window with the "Official Honda Brand S2000 Rear Window Polish" and it made a big difference. I'm going to pick up a bottle soon.

Sweet they are the ones that sold me mine! I hope I can afford to keep it now =) I definately can't get any work done on it, and I'm gonna put 1000 miles on it and then put a cover on it and continue driving the Buick for awhile, until I have a better job. I am out of my mind getting a car like this but it is just sweeet and Lute Riley did pretty good working with me on the price, talked them down 4k =)

Skitz, you should not have had to talk them down 4K. They are selling at $500 over MSRP

Say what?!? When I last spoke to them they wanted between 38k and 40k depending on options.

Clovis ... you've got to fill me in on this. I taked with Joe Baughman twice already and he says that they will go as low as 38k for a yellow one and mid 37k for all other colors. He keeps sending me their inventory via email. But he insist that those are the prices and that they won't budge.

if you pay cash and play with them a little they will budge, they did for me

I bought a 2000 Accord Coupe from Lute Riley last year and had one of the best car buying experiences ever - they treated me like a king and I got a great deal on the car. I called my salesman back in January and told him that I was interested in an S2000 - the lowest he would go was around $35,500. I was really surprised by their attitude, especially with a repeat customer. I called Honda of McKinney, and they were willing to give me a better deal because I was a Lute Riley customer - but it was till over sticker price. I ended up finding a dealer in Louisiana that would sell one at MSRP and did business with them.
