Finally got an S2000

[russy01]

After asking loads of annoying questions about the S2000 I finally grabbed myself one. Thread below from readers cars.

Nice one.

If you get a puncture on the rear, swap it with a front wheel and put the space saver on the front...honest.

Just ditch the space saver and carry a can of tyre inflator or better still invest in a good breakdown service. Think about it, a rear wheel does not fit in the boot so is the wife/girl friend going to put up with a rear wheel in her lap??? What if its been raining as well!!!!!!

I thought you could fit the rear in the boot, anyway as said lose the spare.

[russy01]

I'll ditch it anyway. It's all about weight saving. Always have a can of tyre weld handy anyway!

Great day in the s in the sun!

Congratulations, very nice!

I've been looking at S2000's too. Great cars from what I've heard! You've found a good colour there too!

I wouldnt rely solely on a can of tyre weld.

Worth picking up a roadside plug kit , normally available from motorbike shops for about £15.

You can, you just take the tool tray out and it sits in the well.

So you mean I Carried it round on the passenger seat on a beach towel for nothing?!

[Jurgen]

Yup, should have read the manual

[craig7584]

I usually like to read manuals a few months after the event

Infact although I'd read about putting the space saver on the front prior to my puncture, in the pouring rain I forgot and swapped it straight onto the back. Really should leave myself a note my memory is terrible!

I'd hope so otherwise the tyre/wheel will stain the nice leather seats!
