Hey all,

After putting it off for about two years, I finally pulled the trigger on a 2005 Silverstone Metallic S2000 yesterday -- I must say, every positive thing I have heard about this car is certainly true. The gearbox is magic....the high revving engine is nothing short of exhilarating...and overall, this car is gonna be such an awesome "good weather car."

As tempting as it is to make her my daily, that's what I have my 2003 Subaru WRX for now -- I'll tell ya, if anything is as reliable as a Honda, it's a Subaru. 124k and counting, plus she's modified to Cobb Stage 2 (exhaust + ECU upgrades)...but she'll have to take the back burner to the S2000 on nice days like today and yesterday! lol

Okay, so here's a horrible newbie question. As I got my S2000 Honda Certified Pre-owned, silly me forgot to check if they included the car's manual (which I found out they didn't, and I'll be rectifying that today)...where oh where is the button which unlocks my gas tank latch?

Other than that, no complaints regarding the S2000...here's to many many years of enjoyment for my new good weather / weekend car!

There's also a secret compartment under the windblocker. It opens up: the latch is in the center console. Congrats and enjoy.

and often, that's where the owner manual is... (i now have 2 because of this!)

 

LOL apparently most all new S2000 have this problem, as I spoke to another friend of mine who has one...thanks, I found it. Think Honda could've been anymore discrete about it? haha

Regarding the secret compartment under the windblocker bigmacnfries...wow, I did not know that, thank you...yeah, odds are the manual's probably in there...I'll have to check it out

Thanks again guys!

yup - i got my S and didn't have a manual, so i asked Honda to get me one (free) - i got it, got to the bit about the hidden compartment. went and looked and there was the original manual!

 

I want a factory manual... Someone give me one
