Default Carpet Removal/General Advice

Hi guys,

I'm new to the Forum, having just bought a Jap Spec '99 S2K with the black half leather interior.

I've always wanted an S2000, and a drunken night on Ebay saw me purchase one somewhat prematurely! My previous car was a Mk1 Eunos Roadster (MX5), a great handling machine, but seriously lacking in power and comfort.

I have sourced used red leather seats and carpet for a really good price, and will be fitting them myself. Has anyone got some advice on removing the existing carpet? Anything specific I need to remove etc? The seats should be easy, just a few nuts and bolts.

I'm pretty hands on with my cars, and will be doing most of the servicing myself. Are there any items like HT leads/plugs/filters I should replace as a matter of course?

Matt

Having just seen clarkson's vid about the S, Elise and BMW, more specifically his comment about 55-65 seconds, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I can't wait to pick the car up next week! I've got red/black door cards too...should be simple to fit.
