So I had a CEL come on. Got it read, and pulled the code P2A00. Came back to a TSB for the O2 sensor. I went to Coggin Honda (closest one to the house) to talk about getting the TSB done and talking to corporate Honda to get it goodwilled because the car only has 25,000 miles on it, and its an '06.

The dealership service manager gave me an attitude because I didn't want to pay them to fix the part if Honda didn't cover it. Well duh, if Honda isn't going to pay for it, I will just order the part online and do it in my driveway. He also made a comment about me being 23, a UCF student (MBA student, I prob have more education than him), and owning a Honda s2000. IDK what that was about, but that was pretty much the point I decided to leave.

So does anyone work at a local Honda dealer that would be willing to work with me? I think someone works out at Space Coast Honda, I'd even be willing to head out there to give them my business, either for the part, or for talking with Honda about getting the service goodwilled. Plus, I dont want some total moron out working on my baby.

Thanks guys,
-Steven

*edit: The car is totally stock minus a front sway bar and a set of SSR wheels.

My brother is a tech at Headquarter Honda, I'll pass this along to him tonight and see what he says. Their dealership is new and the staff is very friendly, couldn't imagine them getting angry at a customer.

Holy crap, I just saw you. I was in the silver Izusu Rodeo. I bought 2 gallons of type 2 coolant the same time you were talking to the honda guy next to your car with your door open. Hahaha.

I love your color, those wheels look badass on your car. The wheels look like something KamiSpeed would sell.

To the point, I have straight pipe exhaust with the Help! Antifoulers. Try disconnecting your battery for about 10 mins. My CEL went on once and it never ever came back on. Could be a false alarm.

hahahah. Small world huh?
The wheels are SSR Type-C RS. I love them. The offsets were a bit more aggressive than I expected, but I've gotten used to it. Thanks though, I'm really happy with how they look on the car.

I have a flashpro, and I've already cleared the CEL a few times, and reflashed it back to stock (so the dealer didn't freak), but it keeps popping back on after 10 or so miles. I've been doing some research and its a pretty common problem with the 2006-07 models, which is why I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to get it replaced. Clearly I was wrong.

Thank you very much. I'm getting to the point that I'm just ready to order the part, or pick it up from a local dealership so they can get my business.
I was amazed with how that worked out. I didn't expect the service manager to say anything like that to me.

The offsets look perfect, definitely flush and great for track use.

I don't know too much about the Hondata FlashPro or Reflashing, but I'm definitely sure someone out there can help you.

I've been going to First Class Auto on Colonial Drive exactly across from Orlando Fashion Square Mall for my alignment, brakes, and clutch. They specify in NSX's. I know Mother didn't have a good experience with them though.

Yeah, dealerships suck 99.99999999% of the time. It took me awhile to find a very decent shop to settle with.

I've heard a lot about PRS, still haven't been there to experience them. They do great corner balancing.

Classic Honda on the corner of Mercy Dr. and Colonial Dr. is good. I don't know about their service deptartment because I do all my own work, but the parts dept. is good their parts are cheaper than everybody in town. Some of the other dealers were charging extra shipping if they had to order a part in.
