I was going to keep that hardtop on for a week or so but I didn't expect 18 degrees and sunshine today, so I cleaned the car and then took it off followed by a drive around Coopers Hill/Birdlip.
Brake pedal has gone soft so I need to figure out what's gone on.

Guys how much do you thing a 2003 Honda S2000 in silver/grey with 85k miles, hardtop and facelift wheels is worth? Assuming good condition and history.
I need a car asap and my mates said he will sell his but we haven't agreed a price, but going to go and have a look at it now. Prices are all over the place on autotrader etc.

Thought these Spoon N1s are supposed to be loud 
Think I had the most quiet car on the day

Drove to Sheffield this morning to pick up the hardtop.
Fits well and the colour match is good.
Like that colour, my itch to get a S2000 is getting bigger lol
Mine too but in dark grey.
Looking for new pads. Don't want DS2500.
Narrowed it down to two: CR RC5+ and Dixcel Z Type.
I understand the Dixcel are more of an all rounder but are nigh on as good for the occasional track day, however are a lot less noise and produce less dust.
EDIT - just noticed that the Z Type seem to be around £60 more expensive, so I may go for the RC5+.

Standard ones, critical they are fitted with a torque wrench to the later settings.
Pre facelift car?
I'm selling mine soon (115k, '02 MCB w/ new roof, no hardtop though and has a tiny bit of lacquer peel in one area and not much sh as maintained myself from 69k) and didn't really know what to ask for it - can't decide if £4,5k is too much/little or about right
Luckily I've got the pleasure of buying the new toy first (Noble or V8 Esprit, deciding atm and also depends what cars come up etc) but need to think about the S2000 at some point as will need to free up that cash

Jesus Christ that's stupid.
You should have looked under the car sooner though
Toe arm should naturally be in the section where the exposed bolt is. Thread looks in good nick, but that toe arm bush looks shot. Keep the metal part of the bush as you'll need that still there if you're putting a poly bush in.
Had my left rear toe arm snap last year, we scavenged another and swapped the bushes over easily enough with a press.
Glad you got the gear linkage bushes done, such a difference to an already amazing gear shift
