i’ve never owned a car with a sunroof. i guess the buying a ragtop will be making up for lost time. ---

I know of a low mileage southern car that is supercharged and going to be sold CHEAP if one of you envious guys is interested 😉 PM me for info. And very nice S2000. I’d suggest a good detailing job and then attack maintenance. It is probably due for a trans fluid change (Honda MTF ONLY), diff fluid change, coolant flush, brake/clutch flush/bleed and maybe a valve adjustment. Heated seats are also a great addition and not that hard to put in. ---

What miles? Diff and trans fluid should be on a ~20k schedule. Do you trust that the previous owner did the fluid changes and did them properly? Including a full coolant flush? Also, you’ll probably want to grab some Honda OEM filters for it. They come highly recommended. With good oil, a 5k-8k oil change interval is totally fine. You’ll also want replacement washers for the oil drain, diff fill and drain and trans drain. Check the springs to ensure there are no spring spacers left in it. If it is over 50k, I’d do spark plugs and a valve adjustment. Also check the air filter and cabin air filter (very common to have never been replaced). Also keep a close CLOSE eye on the oil level. ---

I just know a good bit about the maintenance on these so I figured I’d share my suggestions. I’ve done everything I mentioned so far except get my valves adjusted. :tup: Cheap insurance. ---
