TSB are basically small fixes here and there like the clutch rattle or the soft top wear. Thers countless of them on the 00-01 S. Look it up and see if the car has had its TSB's done.

Tsb is a service bulletin for a paticular problem, not truly a recall.
Here is a listing of some things covered under TSB's:
http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/...t=tsb

that sounds like a decent deal, make sure you look the car over very well and ask for service records, the 03 should probably go for anywhere between $26-29k depending on mileage, some dealerships might have a few left and could possibly be looking to get rid of them to make room for the 04 so you may be able to get a pretty nice deal on a "new" 03.

Yeah I would honestly look for a 02 if I was looking at a used S. The glass is a big advantage over the plastic rear window that the 00-01 had.

not when you admit you're too lazy to search when someone lists a link to where all the info you were looking for could be found.

you posted this in another thread: <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Bs2kB6 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">ok thanks for the link but i'll read it when i have time. dont feel like reading all that right now. but it could have also been so much easier if someone simply said what it means. it's ok, i'll just enjoy my lazy----ness right now.</TD></TR></TABLE>

self respect is a great thing, it's a shame to be wasted. Learn to respect yourself so others can show respect to you.

Hey guys, a TSB which is a Tech Service Bulliton, is put out by the Manu. I work for Honda currently has a Tech. so basically to state that there is a problem in the vehicle that has been very common and needs to check to ensure that the problem or problems aren't there. It is basically a slient recall without the notices and attention to the Manu. What it means is that this problem is common, but not always found in all vehicle and doesnt effect safety of the driver or passanger. As far as Price, thats is fairly cheap. I have been looking for a S2K for over 3 months now and havent really found many of them dipping into the high Teens. They range in price greatly depending on where you live. Because of my location they are remaining a higher Price .. Which sucks because I want one soo badly.. GOOD LUCK
KEVIN

I must plagerize, but I will give credit.

This was from the ITR Forum, posted by RJ. Sums it up quite nicely.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by .RJ &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

But how many questions are for useless topics that require a simple answer that have been asked ad nauseum?

- paint code
- brake pads
- suspension
- vtec engagement
- which intake
- which exhaust
- etc, :barf:

If the people who were asking questions actually did some research and put forth some effort into trying to learn something rather than to prefer to be spoon fed information then these questions wouldnt pop up all the time. I use the search *alot* when looking for things. Why? I can find my answer in 5 minutes instead of 5 hours waiting for someone to reply.

And then there's the perpetual mis-information spiral, fed from one person who read something, to another person who "just wants the answer" and then it just continues from there.

I have a hard time putting forth some effort into helping someone who's just not interested in helping themselves.

*shrug*</TD></TR></TABLE>

yes i understand M-TYpe, i was just there 2 minutes ago, its not my first time hearing that sites name. have been going on it and just in and out of threads and all for quite some time now. i just dont like it hwen ppl on this website say go searhc go search. they should make honda-tech a search engine instead of a forum. the reason i feel like this is because ppl have become so damn cocky and big headed they dont care to asnwer questions again and think they are god or something. its annoying.

What a biter.

The difference is, you contribute nothing to this board. All you do is take up space and ask redundant questions that have been covered a million times.

You make no effort to find the answer yourself. You are an epitome of a hopeless newbie. Being new is fine, everyone was new at one point, but some of us do try to evolve and learn on our own. You're that annoying little kid that keeps asking questions about the same thing over and over.

No one is being cocky or thinks they are better than others. You just grow tiresome. In fact, I've helped you before. So if I've helped you before, why would I suddenly be cocky?

If you look around, I do answer and try to help on this board. However "I have a hard time putting forth some effort into helping someone who's just not interested in helping themselves." - again quote from RJ.

Just change your SN to Spoon feed me. Or better yet, change it to SPOON ME.
