Hey guys! What's up? I keep meaning to be on here more to keep up with this thread and see what new S2000 stuff is going on. Did you guys know about the upcoming S2K BMT drive in Arkansas? Here's the link on S2Ki: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/ark-la-t...-tour-1175513/
I'm planning on going and have a room reserve so am hoping that work doesn't interfere and make me cancel. It'll be my 3rd BMT and they are awesome. Have had to do some fixes to the S2K this year. Master and Slave cylinders were both leaking so replaced those. The very next day after that was done I had fluid coming out of the bell housing. I pulled the transmission myself to save money and found that it appears to be the plug near the rear main seal (see pics). Hoping to seal the plug and put it back together this weekend. Timing of this was actually good as well as the Clutch disc was almost done for. The metal was showing through the pad material. I'm putting in an AP1 flywheel and a Science of Speed SPort 400 clutch. I also did the clutch delay valve delete so excited to see how it feels once it's back together. Also if anyone is looking for an awesome pair of jack stands, check out the ESCO 10498 stands. They go from 13.5 in to 21 in high! I have my car on them and it's 18 in up and more than enough to pull the transmission and they are stable as hell.
Hope everyone is well and safe and driving the heck out of their S2000s!
Good work Buda. I've been toying with the idea of getting my clutch replaced even though I don't have any symptoms currently. Car has almost 90k and I just want to keep everything fresh. How many miles are on your S?

I'm at only about 50k miles (second owner). The first owners were an older couple. Kinda makes me wonder if they feathered the clutch a lot for that much wear. Also just got back from having the AP1 flywheel resurface. It's so shiny!
Suite Dave (or I might start calling you NotDennis)...
You've really loved that car!
The S2000 is SO MUCH MORE fun to drive when it's cool out. Man.
I threw the oem cat back in to see about quieting down teh exhaust but I feel like it made the car more sluggish off the line. Meh, I'll swap back, only takes a half whore.
Your definition of "cold" is our definition of "warm".
In all seriousness, I do know a couple people that drive their S2000's in the winter and it sucks. The car is super unstable in the snow even with snow tires and the heater can barely keep up on the cold days let alone the really cold days. If you thought the transmission was notchy and did some grinding when it was 70F out, you should try it when it's -10F out... Also, the 10w30 oil doesn't work so hot in the cold either, needs different oil for winter and summer.

Love the shirts! May have to get one or both of those myself.
I'm at the dealership getting the S2000 checked out after the new clutch install and having her prepped for the drive down in Arkansas next month. The SOS pressure plate is sooo sexy in red!
It's unfortunately about that time the S goes into hibernation. Weather shows the rest of this week and maybe some of next before it goes down for a long nap.
Probably going to end the year at just about 48500 on the clock...put about 1500 on it again this year. Ever since my job moved to 1.5mi from my house, both S and Jeep get very few miles put on them these days.

If you ever need to send the S2000 off on a vacation lmk - I can drive it year round!

Fine, we're done with Hurricane season here in Houston, so send it my way. I'll kick the wife's Flex into the driveway & put the S in the 3 car garage.

3 car garage? Dayum.
Are you interested in adopting somebody who's only a few years younger than you?
