    S2000 Frequently Asked Questions. *******Look here before posting ANY questions******

    The S2000/ NSX forum is ever growing with new members coming in and asking repeated questions which have been covered in the past, so this thread will act as a guide to commonly seeked questions and what not.

    This is a work in progress so if you can think of any topics that need adding, feel free to add to this by sending a PM to myself or another Mod and I'll see what I can dig up.
