Since im new to Honda and the S2K, i was just wondering if you guys could help...

"Maintence required" light flashes a few times when i turn into ignition, but shortly after it goes off. Does this mean the car is due for like an oil change, or check up? i just bought the car and the dealership changed the oil and everything...so i was just wondering, i took it back to the dealer and they said its normal?? and that i could reset it. Is there a button that i could reset, or is there something wrong that i would have to bring it in to get it checked up and service?

another question...

any good springs you guys recommend? im looking to just drop the car like .75 in the front and 1.0 in the rear. nothing too low, since i dont want to be dragging anything and etc.

thanks for viewing and answering! much appreciated.

If the S2000 is similar to other Hondas the maintence light starts to flash when the interval between services is almost up. The closer it gets the more it flashes, until it stays on all the time. I don't think Honda technicians reset it if they only do an oil change, they want you to be annoyed (or frightened) by the light and pay for an expensive service. If you take it somewhere other than a Honda dealer for a service, or do it yourself I think the location of the reset button is in the manual. It is under the dash to the right of the steering wheel in Integras.

I had good results with H&R springs in the past. Check tirerack.com they may have a good selection and modacar.com

 

to reset maintenance light, put key in ans turn to "ON" hold down the trip button until the maintenance light goes away. usually takes 20 seconds or so, be patient.

for springs, espiler is pretty well regarded in the S community

 

:edit: got it figured out... thanks for the post.
