For you diff and trans fluid people. I have a total of 4 sets (fill and drain) each for the trans and diff. Diff set will be $2 and trans set will be $1 (pretty much what I paid from h-and-a after shipping). Dealership will probably charge you more. The process is pretty straightforward except for my biggest pet peeve about the s2000 - 23mm diff fill bolt (drain bolt is 24mm...really honda? couldn't make them the same size?) but I have a 23mm box wrench (just for that). I also have hand pumps for the trans and the diff fluid. Diff takes 1qt and trans takes 1.5qts, so buy 2 when you're at honda (or 3 and find a friend).

Bring a chair. In fact, just keep one in your trunk at all times.
I bought the diff washers for 6$ a few days ago at a dealership.
And im gonna dig up my old camping chairs and bring a few of those hopefully

Yup, after 7 years of S2000 ownership, I figure it's better to just buy a bunch of the small consumables in bulk. That way, I'm never rushing to get to the dealership just to get overcharged.

I'll bring an extra chair and a set of jack stands.

Any updates on those tricycles?

Great idea. Speaking of bimbos, do you still have contact with the waitresses at TK Roselle?
