By the way, has anyone heard of "Safeguard Lease". It's like $600.
It is an insurance policy on the wear and tear during the lease. Basically anything that Honda says is excessive wear and tear they will charge the lease holder. BUT, this covers all that up to $5,000.00.
Another waste of money IMO. Are you planning on having over 600.00 in excessive wear and tear? From what I've heard, most dealers are pretty reasonable about wear and tear. If it was not a money maker for the dealer, they would not offer it. Better you put the 600.00 in the bank.

Tire rotation? umm... staggered setup, and you are NEVER supposed to switch tires from one side of the vehicle to the other...



You want to show proof where you can't do that?

note to the original poster: do not take your car to honda unless you suspect you need to get it checked for a TSB.

That only goes for directional tires (which I'd guess most people use on the S2000). If you swap them to the other side, then they'll be rotating the "wrong" way. However, you could theoretically pull the tires off the wheel and swap it onto the other side, but I guarantee you that Honda didn't do that.

I agree. No way they did that. There are some people here on this forum that do that but hell, many tire "techs" would be hard pressed to figure that out even if you clearly spelled it out for them.

Well I think I need to bring it to Honda again... (this is going to be hard to explain)I turned my car on, put it in reverse and put the handbrake down, when I started to back up it felt like something blew off??? Then i gave extra gas and it finally started going. Then I put it in 1st and bgan to go, but it would grab onto 1st. So I put it back in nuetral and tryed again and it worked. WHATS WRONG?

maybe you didn't properly click the shifter into reverse and that caused a problem??

I am 100% sure that it was in properly. I can't figure out the problem...

Did you wash your car or drive in rain before you parked your car yesterday? If so, then this is a common issue. The brake pads "rust" to the rotor and that pop is simply the pads breaking free.
