That Mazda has 10k miles now since i bought it 2 years ago new.

Funny how back then i thought 3.9% was amazing rate. Then again it was at that time...

Our Avant that we took delivery of two months after you bought the mazda is just shy of 14K miles. What's sad is that it would have about 5K less if the Integra wasn't garaged as much as it was due to technical problems in the last year.

I agree with you on the interest rate. At the time, 2.9% for an Audi sounded like a sweet deal. Can't believe it got even better afterwards LOL. Then again, I wouldn't have been able to special order a B7 had I waited. I don't regret it one bit.

The S2K comes stock with RE050s too, right? Can't wait to see what "new tires" you get when those need replacing

yah but it is different. The RE050 on my s2k lasted me over 30k miles for the rear and the front had at least 50% more to go and on the G37, the front wore out faster than the rear.

weight of the vehicle is a big factor on tires...

I'm traveling and so missed this thread. Awesome pickup. Hell of a way to get new tires though. At least you didn't take your car for a car wash.....

PS did you sign up for Honda Homecoming on s2ki while it was going on? I did so I am driving my S cross-country in September.

Some new pix =)

So it has been almost 2 weeks since i got it... went back to the dealer twice

They replaced the ugly ball (aftermarket) shift knob with OEM and fix a cut on the roof

Intake tube broke caused CEL came on i was like wtf.. after my inspection, the previous owner installed CAI and did not install his OEM intake assembly correctly and it was missing a lot of stuff. Dealer fixed and replaced everything.

One thing that bothers me a little is that the pictures are just a little bit too tightly cropped?

Wow, its a lip! Genius! It doesn't matter if Honda makes it, my point was that the car looks better without the lip to me....
