Annual fluid change and inspection.

oonowindoo 11-16-2018 11:39 AM


I would pay for it... if i am in the marketing for s2000 right now. As the car ages, you are gonna find less and less low mileage s2000s....
If i had a LBP with 26k miles... $30K starting bid...:D yes it is overpriced and rip off... so what? someone will buy it :D

26K miles... $26K Laguna Blue Pearl :tomato:

As said, he'll easily get that and could probably ask more. Low mileage cars stock cars are going for a lot now just because they are getting harder and harder to find.

Felt this thread needed a solid update :)

rockstar143 01-12-2019 07:16 PM

Sexy fucking spot, boiiiii...
my S has been getting love lately too
at almost 13K since my last diff fluid swap...decided it was time.
I opted to read up on S2KI before purchasing and settled on Lubrication Engineer's 1605...
the stuff is sticky and purple. Must be good...fuckin driveline feels like 100% pure placebo improvement in smoothness. :rockstar:
got to use my new ramps too


Ken1997TL 01-13-2019 03:27 PM

Sweet. I need to do that. Diff fluid is so easy on these cars.

Future Classic?The Pick of the Day is a low-mileage example of the high-revving roadster

With the Future Classics Car Show, hosted by ClassicCars.com, happening today in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Pick of the Day celebrates a sports car highlight from Japan that started the new millennium with a rush of high-tech performance.

The 2000 Honda S2000 is a pristine, low-mileage example of this brilliant compact convertible, which first arrived in showrooms in April 1999 with a name that signifies the 2.0-liter engine displacement.

CLtotheTL32 01-13-2019 04:49 PM

I'm about due for diff and transmission fluid too. I did GM Synchomesh for the transmission last time and have been happy with it, but I'm willing to change it up if someone has a better suggestion!

rockstar143 01-14-2019 07:07 AM

I think if Lubrication Engineers makes a transmission fluid with friction modifiers I'd be willing to give it a go as well...
I have like 14K since the transmission fluid...can't hurt to keep it fresh!

Ken...
Make sure to have a 23MM open ended wrench (I had the SAE equivalent) and a 24MM socket for the bottom bolt...
It's a tight space and not commonly owned socket and wrench sizes.

Maybe I should just keep mine...

In any case, the person asking for ~$26k for a MY00 car with almost 28k on it is pretty balsy...

Ramps AND jack stands? :scratch:


rockstar143 01-18-2019 09:02 AM

They're composite and it was the first time using them so I figured I'd throw them under as a precaution.
I guess I'll be a little more worried when the Yukon is on em, although if that thing crushed the ramps and landed on me
it would probably not even make contact.

So I have what I think is a malfunctioning vent shutoff valve on the evap canister...I kept hearing it opening and closing the other day...
I will get under there and use my mechanics stethoscope to listen for what it is then swap it off that second hand evap canister I bought
a few months ago. That would explain the damn gas smell though if it's venting when it shouldn't.

I'll also handle the transmission fluid swap this weekend along with burping the damn air out of the coolant...it would explain why the
overflow tank keeps emptying...today while running the heat it got cold when at a light which tells me I didn't bleed it well enough last time.

dwb993 01-20-2019 10:24 PM

I love the Lubrication Engineers fluid. I'm using it the S and the G.

CLtotheTL32 01-21-2019 08:15 PM

Does anyone have a subwoofer in their S? A buddy showed off his new W7 in his Tahoe and it made me miss having a sub; I had one in the CL and TL for almost 10 years combined :cry:

Ken1997TL 01-21-2019 09:09 PM

I need all the trunk space I can get 😂

rockstar143 01-21-2019 09:11 PM

I didn't like the idea of additional weight but honestly, you could probably live without a spare...
actually what I did last time was put in a spare subwoofer that sits inside the spare...then powered it with a tiny motorcycle amp.

No, it's so fvcking loud that the stereo is an afterthought to begin with lol.

I know a ton of people have wired in the OE sub from the RSX into the spare tire compartment though.

Buda 01-22-2019 09:39 AM

Do a foot well sub on the passenger side. Plenty of leg room over there already and you only lose about 2 to 3" of leg space after the install if I remember right.

rockstar143 01-22-2019 09:48 AM

the RSX sub might have been what I did...

This^. Best location for a sub in the S, hands down. No annoying buzzing or vibrations at all, minimal loss of legroom.

Here are pics of my install: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/mid-atla.../#post23670746

Dave thumps. :pimp:

rockstar143 01-23-2019 05:22 PM

Finally bled my S2000 the "RIGHT" way according to Billman...
I noticed that my coolant overflow was always low and my heat was never hot at idle.
Caved and bought one of these no spill gravity feeds and absolutely love it (should have listened to @thoiboi long ago! :monocle:)

The gist of it is you get it to temp with the cap off and topped off...then shut car off and squeeze upper radiator hose and open bleeder valve on head (only with car OFF)
tighten bleeder valve then release the upper radiator hose (or you will create a vacuum that sucks air back in)...repeat until heat is hot at idle...like scalding hot.
Feels good, man...


and this was just a cool shot I took one morning depicting the sharp cutoff!

thoiboi 01-23-2019 05:27 PM

Love that Lisle funnel.. :love:



rockstar143 01-23-2019 05:33 PM

Ironically it's not Lisle...
but same shit I'm sure...it was slightly cheaper on amazon and had all the stars reviews.

dwb993 01-24-2019 02:34 PM

I could not use the Lisle funnel I bought---None of the attachments would seal properly.

The minute I find a job I want in a place I want to live (other than here), I'll move.

Costco 01-24-2019 04:12 PM

I drove to work with the windows down and in a t-shirt today :silvercup:

I can also get by with just an oscillating fan in summer :ugly:

Better yet, while my wage is probably 20% higher than a comparable position in a smaller market, my living expenses are probably 50-100% higher :spit: :pofl: :rofl: :notfunny:

You can pay high cost of living AND make fun of my S4 in person.
