honda manual transmissions should be changed with honda mtf only every 30k miles under normal driving conditions. in a pinch you can use engine oil but that should be changed immediately, this is stated in the owners manual. as far as valve adjustments go about 100k for normal driving and yes there is an art to adjusting them but they are far easier to adjust than shim and bucket valves, if you are unsure loose is better than tight. honda uses ngk spark plugs in every vehicle they make, you don't need to go to the dealer just make sure you get the right part number. these should be changed every 100k under normal conditions. wheel bearings are very torque sensitive and i would not over torque them, most common failure with bearings is galling which will cause noise but they will not be loose, bring a stethoscope or a piece of hose under the car and let the wheels spin in the air and listen to the bearings. if you hear a humming or whining noise that bearing is bad. a lot of honda engines like the s2k or the b18c engines have high compression and are fuel sensitive, make sure you put high quality premium(91 or higher for the US) in the tank. low quality fuels may cause knock and reduce engine power and efficiency. I did not see very many mechanical issues with the s2k and most came in for basic maintenance. sincerely a former honda technician

I love s2000’s so much. I dream of owning one some day. I do automotive interior restoration for a living. Today actually, I worked on an S2000. We had to get the drivers seat reupholstered because of vinyl tearing on the bolster. Looks phenomenal now. I spent about an hour and a half fixing everyone possibly could to make the best possible car for the next person who owns it. Such a pleasure to work on.

I didn't either, but saw one on eBay that was just 30 miles from my house. I went, I saw, I drove, I bought. Not a single regret. It even has no VIN sticker on the left rear quarter panel. Seller explained before I even looked. Sh-- happens to cars over time, or "this is not the end of the world" (2:46). Everything mechanical and electrical is perfect - who gives a ff if a body panel was painted or replaced?! Driving nirvana.

This is easily THE BEST S2000 "what to look for" video I've ever seen. I wish I would have had some of these tips when I bought my AP2 (2004) in 2006. The other thing that I want to mention that I don't think mark said was to look at the front end to see if anything was added or changed. I didn't look that good until later on and noticed that there was this goofy looking mesh in the front grill. Upon further investigation it looked like my car smacked something in the front and they added this goofy looking screen / mesh junk to cover shit up... Car was also resprayed on the front bumper too. Otherwise my car was pretty mint, but that was a long time ago. I have a feeling that it's going to be hard to find a minty fresh non-riced out one, but I'm sure that they are out there. Great drivers car, I miss it, but had fun with it for many years before I cut it loose. Mark, I'll look around, I might have some OEM pads and a filter or two if you want them. Thanks for the detailed video, brought back some memories.

BarnStangz - Just found one that had gone up on eBay.... Super-crazy luck for me, it was 30 miles from where I live!! One owner, 14k on odometer, garage-kept and unmodified (little old lady - literally!). I was speaking with a guy on an S2000 forum this week who just a few weeks back got a one-owner 2001 with 17k miles, also unmodified. There are good ones out there - just take your time looking :) Good luck!

By the way, I still look for them out of interest and I've learned there are still plenty out there that people bought for retirement or for weekends only.

I absolutely appreciate you mentioning what you did @ 36:40. I had an AP2 back in 07-10 and during that time, was one of the fastest cars I ever driven. Forward 10+ years and I've had several turbo cars and v8's. I decided to pickup an s2000 before the huge price hike and thought to myself, this car is really really slow! I cant remember it feeling this slow. None the less, I am glad to have another s2000 sitting in the garage, such a joy to drive.

Appreciate any car and not being caught up in hype for views 3. Knows driving, chassis, and handling mechanics. 4. Adds subtle humor to their videos while remaining educational. I remembered when I first subbed, I saw your down heel rev match on the e92. After that I knew you were the real deal.

I bought my S2000 new in 2002, Sebring Silver, and it still sits in my garage today. Mine is a California car and just turned over to 8,000 miles. I have too many toys and didn’t find much time to drive it and therefore the reason for only 8,000 miles. Mine has always been garaged, never driven in the rain, no rock chips, door dings, etc. The closest you can get to a new one as it looks as good as the day I brought it home. Now that values are rising I’m afraid to drive it. I take it for a spin once a month to keep it running properly and will eventually probably sell it. I need to figure out what it’s worth. I’m going to want a good price for it because as I said it’s about as close as new condition as you are going to find since I babied it for its 8,000 miles. Whenever I would drive it I would never park and leave it unattended as I was afraid of getting door dings, someone backing into it, etc. so I would take it out on back country roads and just enjoy a nice Sunday drive. I know I will miss it but I have been basically storing it in my garage time capsule for twenty years and will enjoy having a garage again for new toys.....

I'd owned over 8 S2K's, all the highlighted points are lovely except for the fact that the cost would massively differ!! Like you'd stated in the vid that this car is actually made for fun so its either the original owner or the new buyer will purchase it for that purpose only! having some aftermarket parts isn't bad, it actually is good in some way! Some surface rust on some metal is fine! ( not deeeeep rust tho) as its just some oxidization won't affect the rigidity or performance by any means, just cosmetic underneath. if someone followed this video by the word then i assure you that 99.9% of the buyers won't buy!! its over 10yrs car and the things you highlighted are all serviceable and are not a reason to let go of a good S2k because the owner replaced a control arm or didn't service few things properly! 3-4 of the S2K's I bought were with 160-200K miles which means they should be totally consumed and the engine life is over however they ran solid with no issues and I drive spiritually I don't go easy on my cars at all. usefull info to learn on weakpoints of a S2K but not valid at all to determine a car purchase unless the car is bought by a person who wants a crisp mint condition! then that individual can follow and do all these checks! Thanks! TJ usefull video!

A thorough discussion. As the owner of an AP1 since September 1999 who is tall and has size 14 feet I think the comments on driver size are a bit off. I was close to 6'4 when I purchased my car. I removed the driver's seat and took off the cover, hammered out the metal bucket a bit on each side and removed some padding on each side of my hips. When I put it back in I inserted a large nut under the front of the rails to increase seat tilt. On longer drives I put a folded towel under my legs for more thigh support. Have driven the car comfortably for many miles. I totally agree that this is a car for someone who wants to put the top down and play. I have had no mechanical problems beyond leaking clutch cylinders after 18 years. I live in the south and garage the car. Have changed the transmission and differential fluid once with Amsoil. After watching this I would probably buy an AP2 if I were in the market. While I have gotten a bit sideways it has always been controllable except for one second gear corner at a wet track day. Switched to Bridgestone RE11s and love them. On early cars run 245/40 on the back, not 225. Original rear tires were wider than labeled.

After flying in and driving the car some 1800 miles from seller to home on the stock 16" wheels, I went to 17" Enkeis , Contis, and Eibach Pro Kit springs which greatly ameliorated the inherent twitchiness of the car. It looks better too. :)

Everything on the car is so accessible, including everything on the bottom side of the car once you get them up in the air (as with any sports car).

Enjoyed this S2000 video Savagegeese! I've done my fair share of research on my own S2000 but this video raises the bar on everything someone should know before buying one. One thing to note: Right at the end you could have mentioned about the TSB recall for the rear-end clicking that occurs when accelerating from a stop due to inadequate torquing of the rear hub nuts. You just need to torque the nuts a bit further and re-stake to fix (find a nice cheater pipe for this).

As an owner of a MY2000 from mile 3, loved the video. I've got 125K trouble free miles in the last 18 years. I'm not even in the market to buy or sell, but I still learned a few things. Yes, the wheel bearings are a PITA to replace. Great guide.

WOW what a great vid. I have had my 03 since 07 and it now has about 70 thousand miles on it. only mods are radio and tsw 17's with 255 Hankooks. Being that i live in the great white north i have 5 to 6 months to baby it while it sits in my garage. In the summer it is my daily unless it's going to rain. come fall back in the box and jack it up and drain all fluids out ant replace, then the inspection begins, seats come out, wheels off and the creeper time, seems to have work thus far, NOTHING has worn out.

Many years ago, I bought an S2000 that had the odometer altered. The entire cluster was swapped out. Had to get a solicitor to get my money back. This video is gold, very informative and helpful. I do hope to own an S2K again someday.

Outstanding - thank you! (About 2 weeks after I bought my minty AP1, but good reference to check things I never looked at the first time - and to look for if I ever sell and then buy another).

Great video. I really should have put more time into examining the '03 AP1 I purchased in 2011. Over time, I discovered lots of little undisclosed problems that added up to not-so-little repair bills, but at the end of the day, it's the best car I ever owned, up there with my EF Civic hatch. Wish I still had the Civic... it was so easy to work on and would have made for a really fun project car. And watching this makes me want an S2000 again. Kinda.

This is a comprehensive review. Another thing to look for in the trunk is water damage in the toolkit area. Water may accumulate in the trunk, and can cause the metal pan under the toolkit to rust out.

I bought my S2000 new in 2002, Sebring Silver, and it still sits in my garage today. Mine is a California car and just turned over to 8,000 miles. I have too many toys and didn’t find much time to drive it and therefore the reason for only 8,000 miles. Mine has always been garaged, never driven in the rain, no rock chips, door dings, etc. The closest you can get to a new one as it looks as good as the day I brought it home. Now that values are rising I’m afraid to drive it. I take it for a spin once a month to keep it running properly and will eventually probably sell it. I need to figure out what it’s worth. I’m going to want a good price for it because as I said it’s about as close as new condition as you are going to find since I babied it for its 8,000 miles. Whenever I would drive it I would never park and leave it unattended as I was afraid of getting door dings, someone backing into it, etc. so I would take it out on back country roads and just enjoy a nice Sunday drive. I know I will miss it but I have been basically storing it in my garage time capsule for twenty years and will enjoy having a garage again for new toys.....

Great video. One point I could add coming from longer term ownership is that for DBW versions there is a common occurrence of APP sensor failure. A plug into the OBD2 will show any history of this otherwise by having an experienced owner drive at low speeds there can be detectable disconnect between accel and pedal position will is a symptom that the APP sensor failure is imminent

Owning an 06 s2000, and loving it currently. Would love to see a savagegeese review of my other car, a road course prepped street car mk4 Supra. There are many more similarities between the two cars than differences. Awesome video on the s2000!
