Yes - Check my status, and my

It has arrived, and boy did I know it... Picked it up at 3pm and went for a drive with a friend.

Had people flash us (no main beam was not on), little toots of the horn, waves, much head turning (it's still there)

Well, I am actually pretty lost for words, tomorrow I think I will have a leather seat permanently attached to my bum

-Looking forward to many happy motoring miles-

Congatulations Liam and welcome to the fold

So are you going to come and show it off in Shrewsbury and Mid-Wales? Just imagine it.... top-down, sunshine, open roads, no urban sprawl, valleys, lakes, forests, mountains, twisties.... mmmmm... Plus lots of S2000 goodies to look at and compare

We're up to 34 cars and 56 people now

Wait until the sunshine comes out, your grin will get even bigger (believe it or not).

What oil should I use to top up (if needed) during the run in period and up until the first service?

And is there anywhere I can get hold of a UK manual? Can you buy them from a Honda Garage?

TIA

Welcome to the club, and as Andy said, your grin will get bigger as soon as you can get the roof down

Toping up the oil will most definitely be needed and you should check every time you fill up, this is very important!! Some cars drink more than others but it appears that all of them drink a lot, particularly in the running in period. As for type, use a mineral oil or at most a semi-synthetic, don't use a fully synthetic oil until you have had your first service/oil change at around 9000miles.

Remember, no VTEC until 600 miles

I always topped up with Mobil1 and now she hardly uses any oil at all (6000 miles now).

Do a search for the Manual, I think somebody had a copy on CD.

Fcuk me Andy, do you only get it out when:

A) The sun shines
B) You feel like a pose
C) You think you're hard enough

?????



You've not even had a service yet
