Default "older" s2k - what to look for?

While not a Honda n00b, I dont know much about S2k's.

Are there things to look out for on an S2k with say, 60-100k on it?

Any FAQ links or your tips would be cool.

that much miles on it, just make sure it doesnt smoke, my friends 00 s2k has 47k miles and it burns oil and smokes a bit.

-I would look for a 2002+ as they have a glass rear window, tweeters, ect...

-Drive the car, pay attention for tranny grinds, also when driving the car make sure there are no odd noises comming from the rear end.

-Take it to a Honda dealer, have them give it a once over.

Here is a really good link that is full of info for new owners:

Tranny grinding.
Diff whine/noise.

Check the valves/retainers.
