I agree with the "LOL TORQ" plate, that one is great.

Have any of you S2K owners consider supercharging? I am tempted to ship my s2k to LHT Performance in Florida to get mine supercharged. 482 whp. the only issue is it would cost $2k for shipping round trip as I am in the PNW. $10K total with all of the options I want.

"The Machine" bought my silver one and supercharged it and removed it and blew the motor and then they put the wrong motor back in and he sold it.

Umm, no. Sounds you'll make the car worse and spend $10k on top of that.

I've considered it and even had 12k to put towards it but ended up using it to pay off the S2000 instead. I even considered using LHT to do the kraftworks kit and had spoken to John on the phone. Heck my s2000 is originally from Tampa Bay. A friend here in KC talked me out of the Kraftworks kit although his experience is with the first gen, he has built and raced multiple s2000s and was well known on S2Ki when he was active. He recommended the SOS kit so I do have a build laid out but don't have the money Only thing I've done is an SOS sport 400 clutch as when I pulled the transmission to replace the rear main seal I saw my OEM clutch was on its last leg . As I have a 2008 LBP, I'm still a little leary about building it as it is more rare so haven't fully decided although I am seriously looking at doing a square setup even if I don't do the full build.

that disaster of a supercharger story I posted above was with kraftwerks.

I'd do the Science of Speed one, but I'm a bit biased. They're in my better neighborhood.

IMO, love the car for what it is and what it does really well...namely, go around corners and turn on every time you put the key in the ignition.
If you have 10K to burn...either pay off the S2000...or put that down on a car that comes from the factory supercharged like a V or a Hellcat
Yes sir...she's Italian...first non Hispanic for me in a long term relationship...I wouldn't mind a Wrangler myself...but we really don't have anywhere to enjoy them down here...unless you
consider going to some muddy swamp areas just TO dirty the thing and then probably spending 4 hours getting the mud out of the nooks and crannies fun.

LMAO...there are so many guys that feel the same way that I'd be shocked if she even had any dust on it.
Yeah man, I'm a lucky fuck...definitely a ride or die type too...and tells me I can't sell the S2000 even having 4 kids between
the both of us.

is there really that much flex in the brake master to warrant that?

are you going to track the car?

Ahh. Ok, I've been to that area. From that angle it looks very similar to Portland.

Everyone loves their PSS9!
I personally have never ridden in a car that rode smoother on coils than the H&R I bought...but he cut me a great price at $700 so I knew it was a no brainer.
If I were doing it again, I probably would have tossed some Espelir springs on stock shocks.

New rear pads go on mine this evening. Rotors are fine at 49k but pads are shot.
Team Owner
Yah but a stock GPW is much easier to sell than any other color..and at a premium too..
Ex-OEM King
Maybe, who knows. This car appeals to a very specific buyer regardless of color. Yes some colors sell faster and for more than others (LBP) but overall, if you're into the $20k+ range, it'll take a while to sell. I'm probably going to list mine on cars.com so that it gets a little wider attention in the national market rather than just craigslist.
Team Owner
Try auto trader too. I dont sell anything on craigslist. I mean if i had 20k to spend on a s2000, craiglslist is the last place i would go to look for a clean s2000.

Same here with Craigslist. It's not a Civic, so you might actually get some legit offers.
Ex-OEM King
I always forget about autotrader, will go there as well.
Installed new pads only to find that the fronts are the ones making the replace pad sound.
Now front pads on the way... Not a huge deal though, the rears were plenty glazed over from the years.

After much research it appears the best value coilovers is a set of HKS hipermax GT's, so I'll be getting those some time next year.
I do believe GPW commands a higher premium and appears to sell faster than other colors. I've searched for three months daily across the country before booking a flight to Las Vegas to procure this one.
I searched cars.com and autotrader. It is a lot easier than having to search craigslist by each city. GL with your sale! Your patience will reward you as it is becoming harder to find one clean with low miles. I mean just look at what the ITR market is commanding and surely the S2K is a better car!

CL is where I bought my S2000. Mine's an '08 LBP and had 32k miles on it when I bought it from an old couple in Tampa Bay Florida. Paid out the ass for it but with the 50K or so on it now I could still sell it for the same price I bought it for at least. There are still non-car people S2000 owners out there so they'll post up wherever works for them.

Posted up on cars.com. Didn't do autotrader because they charge a lot of money to run the car and I'm not in enough of a hurry to spend money to sell the car. New F/R pads installed, now it stops perfectly and doesn't make the replace pad sound. Now that it's getting nice outside, I'll start putting more miles on it.
