Hi all,
Greetings from Scoobynet(my current home!)
Im just about to order a Honda S2000, arriving in 5 weeks time
Cant wait.
Decided it wasnt worth waiting/I couldnt wait for the 04 model.
Anyway some questions I have
What is the service schedule on the car and whats the likely costs?
Whats the stereo like? Can I remove it and put an off the shelf unit in?
If my car is a Euro import will it have an alarm?
thanks all,
Andy

GOOD!

9k, about 110-140 ish

NOT VERY GOOD. Get an Alpine or other. Its standard HU size, when the time comes we`ll help with directions. Its very simple.
If my car is a Euro import will it have an alarm?
Probably not
thanks all,
No problem!

A CAT1 is the category for a combined alarm/immobiliser. CAT2 is the category for an immobiliser only.
As it is the immobiliser that secures the car a CAT2 is the same as a CAT1 to insurance companies.
IMHO a factory installed CAT2 is always going to be better than a a 3rd party installed CAT1 or CAT2. This is why I cannot understand why Honda UK get a POS alarm installed onto the cars before they sell them.

Both, actually. I never put too much stock in what I'm told by Honda salesmen (or, to be fair, any other car manufacturer's sales personnel), but I was told essentially the same thing by one of the importers I spoke to.
