Just installed the Moddiction blue convex mirrors. They take some getting used to, but the view is better. I need to see if they make them for the G37.

he has the damn greddy for dirt cheap (read: low low). How hasn't that thing sold.
I'm tempted but I'm getting older and even now I'm considering swapping my uk mod exhaust for a stock one for mucho more quieter
drove the banana 4 days in a row now.

The car came with new oem pads and rotors up front when I bought it and I had no idea how long the rears were on there. I got a deal on all 4 centric rotors and oem pads all around so I jumped on it. Now I have spares for the front if I ever need it.
Does S2000 have the annoying rotor retention screw like every other Honda? I'm going out on a limb and guessing I'll need new brakes next year. They are getting kinda glazed over from age, I bet they are original to the car at this point.

I believe they do. My rears had aftermarket rotors.

Weird.

Had a Check Engine light come on the other day. Codes were P0300, P0310, P0340 which translate to Random Misfire, Random Misfire Cyl #1, Random Misfire Cyl #4. Searched the interwebz to find it could be anything from dirty injectors to valve train or worse. You just gotta love these early 2000s OBD systems!

So, I bought a can of Seafoam, put the whole thing in the tank and filled it with fresh 93 octane. ~100 miles later, all is good---no more lights, no rough running, no black soot on my exhaust tips. I think I may have gotten a bad tank of gas or something. Glad a can of Seafoam was all I needed to fix it!

Sounds like dirty gas to me.

My S2000 pops the occasional code for P0420 and eventually goes away after 50 miles or so.

Really strange ..it only comes on if the car has been sitting outside overnight and/or it's extremely humid outside as it's reaching operating temperature ... I've sourced a used cat and replaced the secondary O2 sensor in the last couple of years and just chose to stop troubleshooting it

Bro...remember that one pic of Betty holding the ceiling fan box?
I recall the other one where I was pulling myself out of the car with crutches and a full leg brace after knee surgery.
Makes for the best stories!

Also, i think those are turn signal/emergency lights because they are more amber than anything..


Probably thinking, "i'm going slow so i need to just have my hazards on"

They spent all their money on a Lexus so they don't have money to rent a truck.

I always enjoy the challenge of making something work that shouldn't. I would be that stupid person...
Shoot, took home a full plywood sheet and like 10 2 by 4's in my RSX-S using straps and the hatch open.
