Default Now i have peace of mind

I just bought my S about 2 weeks ago. It's an 04 with 57k on it. The orginal owner had all service records. He stop taking it to Honda after the 36k warranty ran out and started taking it to local service station that used Bg products. He did said he was running Royal purple for oil. So i just changed the oil to Mobil 1 and put on a honda filter PCX-004, Diff fluid to Mobil 1,and Tranny fluid to Honda MTF. I then decided to remove the clutch delay and replaced the fluid with Honda dot 3 and brake fluid to Honda dot 3. I then also replaced the old air filter with a new OEM one. I like the stock air box so i'm sticking with it. I feel much better now that i know what fluids are in the car. This all cost just around $100.

Test drive after working on your own car = Priceless!

So long as nothing was forgotten!

Oil caps, drain bolts, torque specs, oil levels, etc. Any one of those off and you want to kick yourself in the head.

I read them all and i knew i wanted the S2000 already but did alot of research on the different model years and any problems. I just bought the cabin filter today. So that should do it for now.
