Just getting the S2000 ready for winter storage in my home garage. I am listing what I do for my car in case it helps anyone. Everyone has their own recipe and opinions and this is mine: Change the oil so you are ready for spring. No reason to let used oil sit for months […]
I got this idea courtesy of Deckoz on the s2ki.com forums. Every AP1 owner knows that having spare oil around is a necessity so I decided to outfit the trunk with a mini maintenance kit using a mesh cargo net I sourced on Amazon. It sticks to the carpet in the trunk using velcro so […]
I decided to invest in some Clazzio seat covers to address some wear issues on the driver’s side seat. The side bolster was rubbed raw and the dye job I attempted didn’t yield the results I had hoped for. It is super hard to match aged leather with new dye unless you are adept at […]
When I first bought this car, the plastic rear window really let the car down because it was all milky and horrible. It didn’t bother me that much because I drove it with the top down in all but the most brutally hot days. That said, I recently decided to do something about it since […]
At 81k miles I decided that it is a good time to replace the fluids in the car that didn’t get attention back in May when I bought the car. I don’t have any idea if the transmission fluid or rear differential fluid had been changed in the past as part of routine maintenance. I […]
I was a little bored today after spending the last few days taking care of projects around the house that I have been putting off. I saw a pretty cool location to shoot some photos that is only about a mile away from my house so I took the Honda over there today. Even though […]
At 81k miles I figured it would be a good time to change out the serpentine belt. I believe the outgoing belt is an original piece so it is probably best to get it changed before it becomes a problem. I had one break on the Cobra a few years ago and it is no […]
When I bought my 2001 S2000 on May 11, 2018, I knew that it was going to need new brakes all around after 80k miles and unusual wear marks on the rear driver’s side rotor. I considered a lot of options like replacing the calipers with powder coated units and slotted rotors. After thinking through […]
This site has been on hiatus since September 2016 so I have a lot of updating to do. I had taken it down when my web host became unavailable and then I let the domain name expire. I finally registered the domain name again and decided to pay for hosting at GoDaddy. Things have changed […]
I purchased the first sensible vehicle I have ever had in a 2016 Toyota Rav 4 SE. The model I bought has upgraded sport suspension, upgraded front end with LED lights, black synthetic leather and a few other things. The difference in comfort and handling between LE or XLE models and the SE is like […]
