Default Hi all

I'm new to the forum and new to the amazing world of the s2000, after purchasing one on Saturday.

If you all don't mind, I'd like you to help me through my first months of ownership, as I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to cars. The previous owner was also my dad, who sadly passed away in March, so regrettably I'm unable to seek out the guidance and help from him.

I definitely bought the car through blind sentiment, and already need a rear caliper, as it's seized. I have however, fallen in love with the car in the very short time I've owned it, I can see myself happily pumping money into it, to make sure it's tip top.

Any advice on the best place to pick up parts would be great

Thanks
Ian

Hi
Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your dad.

There are plenty of places about to pick up replacement and additonal parts. Have a look in the traders section at people like Hendy's and Tegiwa.
For brake parts i would suggest Brakes International. Well priced and good quality refurbished calipers.

Any other questions, have a search or ask away. Sure someone will be along with an answer.

It seems I can't post pics using my phone? I'll have to do it later as I'm at work.

Thanks for that mate, certainly competitive prices from my research so far.

Hi and welcome.
Pics I believe have to go through a 3rd party server such as photobucket.
Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

For snapshots such as these, Imgur is pretty good.
