I wonder if thats actual paint or a vinyl wrap.

Reminds me of when a girl is crying and her mascara starts running down her cheek. Why do people go for that look? I can understand being different, but....

Thanks for posting that pic. Im pretty confident its vinyl. If you look at the bottom of the fender you can see the edges pulling up.

Finding one of these that hasn't been molested is seriously hard work. So many with rebuilt titles, bumper damage, ripped tops, ugly mods, etc.
I've been casually looking for years but I found out this week I need to buy a car ASAP (my company take home is no longer a take home ).
Is it realistic to think I can get a clean AP2 with 40-55k miles for $15-16k?

on to the next one...
Damn - If that turned out to be clean car, I'd pick it for asking price in a heartbeat. There haven't been any deals like that in my area since I've been looking...

Soooo.... I bought this one instead:
It's an '06, 25,000 miles. I paid $18,500. I didn't get the best deal on the planet, but it's a super clean car (I saw 3 others today before it and none of them were even close). There was a couple looking at the car when I arrived and they were trying to pay $18,000 for it and the guy wouldn't go for it.

Congrats! That's really low mileage. I would get an S2000 but I don't have my own garage spot.... too worried about people stealing the seats.
mr5parkle have you had issues with people messing with your car? I live in SJ too, but I don't think I could sleep well at night parking it in my driveway.

Congrats, mrsteve!
Ron, nice wheels. So 48mm offset is right size for the rear of the S? Those look good....I ask again, they are one-offs?

No, theyre the same size the CL uses. I had a set, and I loved them.
IIRC the stock S2k offset is +55mm, so mid 40s would be perfect.

So... is it normal for the exhaust to have a raspy/metallic-like resonance right around 2,700rpm?
I've read a few posts over on the S2K forum about exhaust resonance and I'm wondering if this is what they're talking about.

Im not familiar with the S2k exhaust, but check the flex pipe, it may be cracked or disintegrating. Might be an exhaust leak too.

My S2000 doesn't make that sound, either with the stock exhaust or with the new Tanabe. It could be a loose heat shield, or it could really be an exhaust leak/loose exhaust. The only way to know for sure is to get under the car.

I have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow anyways. The center console sliding cover over the cup holders is broken and the dealer said they'd fix it at their expense. I'm going to have an oil change (don't know when it was last performed) and have them inspect the exhaust.
Thanks guys.
