They don't do RE002s for the 17" wheels that your car has.

See The Tyre thread here for 17" recommendations. https://www.s2ki.com/...he-tyre-thread/

welcome aboard - as all of the above have said, peruse the tyre thread and get some decent boots. It's not worth putting off if you don't have a car left to put them on !

And when you find the secret compartment don't tell anyone where it is!

As our resident ditch finder has said above get some decent brand name tyres on the back soon. Have you had to put fuel in yet?

New owner + shit tyres + unknown geo + wet weather = potential facepalm moment.

Drive accordingly, bearing in mind the above, and you should be fine however.

This does hack me off, why say never go to a Honda dealer as they are mostly shite but generally advise that buying an S2000 with Honda history is good ?

This isn't a dig at an individual but this seems to be an ethos on this site that isn't always good.

Not all dealers are shite, in fact, some are very good and reasonably priced too.

I got my regular service, gearbox fluids and valve clearances done for £300 which I thought was quite reasonable. Car hasn't exploded yet.
