Hi all just thought I would say hello, I bought an S2000 in England last weekend and brought it back to Ireland. Never owned or driven one before but it brought a smile to my face on the way home, (there's a lot of tunnels in Wales!). Anyway its a MY00 in silver with black interior still a great car for its age!
Welcome....

Not me on Tue evening, car was in the garage that night, but I live just outside Tallaght so I am around the M50 a lot.

Will get some pics of the car up soon enough, gonna give it a full service on Saturday so I will take some then. Fully standard though even still has the Honda radio, which is absolutely useless! Yeah let me know when there is a meet on and I will head along.

Ah Rathcoole, I work just outside Saggart so you might see me around there the odd time. The S2000 is not my daily driver though!

be very careful about the type of diff oil you use!!
Heres my Honda Diff Oil Screw up

08294 P9901HE is the Honda code for the proper Hypoid differential oil needed for the S2000.

I'll have to check the gearbox oil I use. I'll stick it up when I get home or do a search of the FAQs

This is the link to the Castrol website just go to the vehicle selector and find the S2000 it gives you a list of all the oils to use. I used Castrol in mine (engine,gearbox and diff) and was very happy with it.LINK

One word of caution if you are doing it yourself. Before you drain the diff. make sure you have a 23mm ring spanner in your toolbox. You will need this to open the fill bolt and you can't get a socket onto it. Good luck.
