Checkin' in from Orlando
Hey all,
Bought a Silverstone S2K (model year 2000) about three weeks ago. I'm totally amazed. First 2-seater ever but had my eye on the 2K since they first came out (my son pointed one out to me).
One of the first things was to change out the audio system. I noticed when listening to Pink Floyd with the top down that David Gilmour's guitar riffs sounded mushy. At first I thought the speakers were trashed but a knowledgeable friend told me I need new HU, amp, sub, as well as new speakers. Low power systems don't cut it in a convertible. So I did all that and what a difference. Even my wife notices the change.
I noticed that sometimes shifting is not smooth. I can feel a little grinding, especially between 2nd and 3rd. It seem to be smoother at higher RPM's. The previous owner had the clutch replaced under warranty. I've read that the transmission has got it's problems.
One thing missing is the boot for the convertible top. The previous owner said they are a pain to put on but I think it would look a lot better. If anyone knows where I might find a replacement, I'd appreciate it.
Hoping to join some rally's and compare notes with other owners in Fla. I'm enjoying the forums available on the web. Lots of good info.
C' ya, soon.
