We're into the 6th MY of the S2000 now (7th for some countries) and we still get questions about stuff that can easily be answered if people took a little time and used a little common sense. It gets real painful sometimes to see some of these questions month after month after MY (see point #1).
1. What does MY mean? It stands for Model Year.
2. The following is the OWNER'S MANUAL:
Every S2000 should have one. FIND IT! READ IT! You may not need to continue with this thread if you do. If you didn't get one, it's probably in the "secret compartment" (see point #3). If it's not in there, you can buy one from any Honda dealership.
3. What is this "secret compartment" and where is it? After 6 MYs (see point #1), I think we can safely reveal where this thing is. I'm sure all the cops know where you hide your stash by now. The following is the SECRET COMPARTMENT:
5. While you are at the secret compartment, you will have gone past this:
Please tell me you saw this.
6. How do I get the little door open so I can put gas in my car?
TA-DAAAAA!
7. See this?
If you accidentally hit the right side of this rocker switch, your passenger side window won't work .................... If you go back to the dealer to complain that your passenger window don't work and you demand warranty work to be done, the service guys will most likely be very courteous and helpful. They will ask you to wait in the lounge, have a coffee. They'll come back in an hour or so and tell you that the problem was a tough one, but they went to great expense to repair the problem because you are one of their most treasured customers. You will go home thinking what a great place that was to buy your car. After you are out of sight and out of hearing range, they will all be rolling on the floor laughing their asses off. BTW, they would not be laughing "with" you. They will most definately be laughing "AT" you.
8. Here's an easy one:
Say it with me .................... H-O-O-D ...... R-E-L-E-A-S-E
9. What are those funny round things in the front and back bumper?
Your tow hook screws in here after you pry those funny round things off.
Say it with me .................... T-O-W ..... H-0-0-K ..... C-O-V-E-R
10. Take a good look at this:
Unlike most other cars on the road, the S2000 has one of these. After you turn the ignition key as far as it will go, it will NOT make any starter noises. The car will NOT turn over. You MUST push this button to make things happen. If you continue to force the key any further, your dumb ass will break the key and you will be in a world of hurt. PUSH THE FRIGGEN BUTTON!
