So after 5 fun days with the BRAND NEW S2000, it is now at Honda West being repaired. I left my brothers and left behind a nice puddle of oil. I was on my way to the doctors, and when I came out, there was another puddle. I took it straight to Honda West. I dropped it off last night at 5pm. They gave me a rental (a in KIA), and told me they'd call in the afternoon. I ended up calling them, and they still hadn't finished pin-pointing the issue. I eventually get ahold of the service manager, and he tells me the main tranny seal is mangled. Factory defect! He's trying to have parts overnighted to get me the car back tomorrow. I have no idea what's gonna happen. I'm not happy though.

 

Sorry to hear Dan! I hope everything turns out ok!

 

honda west has the best service dept. they have been great to me.
my alternator on my car was toast but shack findlay said it was good i had to take it to west and they fixed it. thats the short version of a long story

 

no fear. when you fly a million airplanes a year, one is bound to crash. get my point?
thats not to big a deal, my buddy, his flywheel came off!! LOL. they said, oh the bolts werent torqued from the factory, so he got a new motor, as it trashed the crank. so dont feel bad. laters. dave

p.s if you want your ap2 to haul balls, drop me a PM. ill help ya with some supa tuning. later dave

 

thanks for the pep talk guys. i got the car back today. everything looks perfect.

i'll say this. honda west took something that wasn't their fault, and had me furious, and completely took care of it, and me. i picked the car up after talking to mike jones the tech. (seemed like a great guy, and made me day!) the service manager tom was also rad as hell. the car was washed, waxed, engine was steam cleaned, the whole damn car was detailed. and i had a full tank of gas. i was really impressed. so like you guys said, it looks like it turned out alright. thanks.
