Introduce myself and my baby mama
Howdy, y'all!
I am Fero, based out in Davis, California, but I commute between Napa and El Dorado Hills several times a week.
I have been an avid motorcyclist (still am), swearing to never get in a cage since my last epic encounter with another careless cager. I picked up my '00 ZX-9R three years ago with 30k, and am sad to say that at 120k, she has finally crossed onto the other side. So I took this opportunity to jump into something of "similar" style, but has a/c and rain resistance.
I have been a lurker on here for the past couple months, leeching information from this every growing Estuque bible. But now it's time to come out of the closet. ;P
This is my first S2K and my first car in five years.
I picked her up mid-Feb bone stock (MY00) with 158k, two months later I am at 165k, with no "substantial" issues.
Thus far these have been the small projects I have completes on her:
Cosmetic:
Plasti-Dip emblems/stock wheels (lugs still chrome)
SMD LED map/license/trunk lights
New carpets (mine didn't come with any)
Buffed out headlamps (3M)
Interior Function:
Aftermarket head unit
Modifry DCI (speed sensor won't work though :/ )
Amp under passenger seat
Sub in trunk
Speed sensor top mod
Seal trunk vent leak
Mechanical:
Replaced radiator (my OEM rad came with a small stress crack)
Flushed brake lines
Oil (duh)
Brake pads
So basically, a lot of cheap, easy, and fun fixes.
What I am really worried about is that there is something wrong with it that only another S2K owner would know.
I will post in my regional forum, but if anyone from the Sacramento or Napa area would like to meet up, grab some grub I would be down.
Beside that, I am super glad to be apart of such a community that is full of comradrary fueled by the drive
