Thanks for looking!

Up for sale is my 3rd s2000 (these cars are great)!  Having two cars in Manhattan is not fun or smart so I want her to go to a better home.

I bought it from the original owner -- he was very meticulous about this car for many years. I have a very thick folder with maintenance and parts records. I've put only about 1500 miles on the car since I bought it.  Clear NY title. Has 122k miles on it now and is located in Westchester NY / Manhattan NY.  

In the last 2 months, it has received some love and care from the s2000 communities best mechanic, Billman250 (Google him if you don't know him).

Valve Adjustment
Oil change (Mobil 1, and has been every 3,750 miles)
Differential Fluid
Transmission Fluid
Super Blue Race Brake fluid with brake flush
New Spark Plugs
New belt and pulleys
Clutch pedal adjustment
General once over

Condition:

Exterior: Car has been professionally repainted and overall the paint is very good - thorough job and all jams, trunk, engine bay (although some is flaking there). The car has a genuine Veilside body kit - front bumper, side skirts (molded), rear fender flares (molded), and rear bumper. The fit and molding are very good. There are chips on the front bumper and hood as you can see in the pictures. Front bumper also has some spider web cracking near headlights. I backed into a rock and there is a quarter sized section of paint missing on the side of the rear bumper.  I don't think there are any dents or dings. The car doesn't have rust on the panels, although it does have some surface rust on the underside (some bolts/brackets/springs, merely cosmetic). When I bought the car the driver's side mirror was damaged so I bought another mirror (Red). Both mirrors were then plasti-dipped black, as well as area above the windshield. I just noticed a crack (few inches long) in the windshield in the corner - the bottom driver's side corner. Not sure what this is from, either something fell on it while it was in my driveway or possibly the cold weather change but it wasn't there during my last drive. When I run my nail along it I can't feel the crack either on the inside or outside. I will try to get this replaced before the sale anyhow but either way it should be stable and safe to drive. Forbidden Mugen Vacuum Infused FRP Hardtop - fits great but the trim wasn't installed perfectly - I am including a full new set of trim with the sale of the car.  It has a new glass window soft top, no tears.

Interior: The interior is in excellent condition. The seats are in great condition for their age with no rips, tears, or discoloration. There are the usual leather stress cracks but you probably won't ever see seats with 120k miles that look this good. The rest of the interior is clear with no holes or damage. Trim pieces were painted the same color as exterior and were done very well. See interior/stereo mods below.  Electronics all work.  

Engine/General Mechanical: Very strong - I've had 3 s2000s and test drove a lot of them before I picked up this last one - it has been the strongest of the bunch. Very mechanically sound and has great acceleration. It has been maintained very well. Acceleration is smooth, No CELs, hesitation, or weird engine noises. No visible leaks. Throttle body was replaced at about 60k miles. 

Transmission: Smooth as butter. Better than my 2002 that had 30k miles. No grinds or issues. Clutch is very strong, no signs of slippage. The clutch plate was replaced (per buzzing/ringing TSB, not due to abuse) right at 36k miles, so it has <100k miles.

Suspension/Wheels: Great handling with the buddy club coil-overs. The Buddy Clubs were rebuilt at around the 100k mark, though they were only on the car starting around the 50k mark). Preventative maintenance was done over the years, such as swapping the CV cups on the rear end around 100k miles... no significant wear was noticed, but they were swapped anyway. Alignment is great (UK Alignment), no shaking - very stable. Traklite wheels are light and great for the track. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza's with some life left in them. 

Brakes: Drilled/Slotted rotors with pads 80-90% life. Calipers were rebuilt by previous owner. After going to the track (first track day the car has ever seen) there is some noise from the pads, even though they're 80% I believe the pads probably got pretty hot and caused this (common occurrence after track and should go away after some normal driving). I also have a full set extra set of rotors and pads to include with the car. Brakes are very strong with Super Blue race fluid - just flushed/bled. Stainless steel brake lines.

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.

Honda spinning off Acura as stand-alone division in bid to wake up brand

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

Every major automaker has a different way of relating between its various divisions and brands. At Volkswagen, for example, the individual brands seem to operate with a large degree of autonomy. Under the Renault-Nissan Alliance, the two units share a common chief executive, but little else. The relationship between Honda and its luxury division Acura has always been rather close, but that's all about to change.
American Honda Motor Company has always handled sales and marketing in the North American market for both the Honda and Acura divisions, but new reorganization plans call for the two units to be separated under their own direction. Leading the Acura division will be Michael Accavitti, who moves into the position from his role as Senior Vice President for Auto Operations at American Honda. The Honda division will meanwhile be taken over by the current head of Acura sales, Jeff Conrad.
Both will report to John Mendel, the current executive vice president of the Automobile Sales Division that is being rebranded as the American Honda Auto Division. Unlike rivals Lexus and Infiniti - two brands that Acura beat to the market - Honda barely markets its luxury brand outside of North America. Its overseas presence is felt only in China, though we've yet to receive word on how the reorganization might effect that market - or for that matter, any potential of expanding into others.
