Warranty Issues
Have any of you brought your car to a local dealer to get some of the US TSB's fixed? I just bought my 01 S2000 and noticed the rattle on deceleration during my test drive, and had asked them at that time to have it fixed before I bought the car.
They didn't fix it, and I later found out it's a common problem, but they're trying to get away without fixing it.
Can anyone tell me if they had theirs fixed? And where you had it fixed so I can go back to these guys with a list.
Also, anyone have deafening wind noise at 100kph with the top up? I'm considering using ear plugs.

I had that TSB done on my 01. Prod them harder, there is an outstanding Canadian TSB for the clutch buzz on decel.
I had that particular fix done at Village Honda
However... don't expect the fix to be that much better. The noise will return after a few thousand KM's... I even have that same noise on my 04.

Kerry, get a passenger to come with you on the highway. Maybe they can pinpoint where the sound is coming from. I can help you with this after the next auto-x if you haven't figured it out by then.
Or if you're ever at the dealer trying to get them to diagnose it and you need a comparison car, I can stop by so they can hear what a "quiet" cabin sounds like.

Actually, its not so much like they're trying to get away with anything... Its a TSB, not a recall. TSB's are covered by warranty so with yours being an '01, I'm afraid you've run out of warranty. Also, being a US car, the warranty is not transferrable to Canada, so unless you've got a long history of servicing Hondas at the same place, you're not really going to have any luck getting it fixed on Honda's dime.
Hope it all gets taken care of with a minimum of fuss though!

Just go to T&T Honda and have them pull up the TSB for you, they're a reputable dealership... only place in Calgary that I'd get my car serviced at these days
OR
Don't even get it fixed... because it'll sound just as bad afterwards (it'll go away for a few thousand miles and come back)

I had the clutch TSB done at Honda West a number of years ago. I had to press them a tiny bit to do it but after all was said and done they came through for me. The noise went away and hasn't returned.
