:grumpy:

 

Looks like the modifry one. Great stuff! That and the windscreen camera mount for track days with the dash mount are on the list.

 

Im sorry youre finding these issues. Has the dealer responded to your email?

 

^No. And I'm over it. While I wish it wasn't the case, there's nothing I can really do about it other than live and learn.

 

Mr Steve, I'm not sure if you discovered what the noise was but I had the same experience when I purchased mine. I spent weeks looking for an exhaust leak or something along those lines. I gave up and blamed it on the infamous tranny buzz. I drive an older one and I know the early ones had the buzz real bad.

As for your paint, same thing here. I ran a carfax report on mine, it came back clean. No accidents. Nothing. When I saw it in person, I didn't immediately notice it had been painted because it was very sunny out and the metallic (silverstone) looked insane! The front bumper was slightly off but I didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as I put it in the garage and out of the sun..... The paint wasn't as smooth as it shouldve been and I saw how bad the paint job was. So I had to live with it. About a month, I was going to pop open my headlights and when I removed my front bumper I saw that there was damage to the bumper reinforcement Then I was replacing my speakers, different colored door x2. Clean report with damage to the front and replaced door. I couldn't believe it. I spent Almost my entire savings on this car and to find these things just made me very angry. I've learned to live with it simply because I love the car. It's so much fun. I figure I'll buy another one in a few years but this time I'll be more aware.

 

Yes I love the car regardless. I'm going to have the exhaust looked at during the next oil change which is coming up here soon.

In other S2000 news I was given these for my birthday this morning from my wife!

 

Polk components!!!!!!

I went with coaxials but Im going to make the switch real soon. Im also making a bracket so that i can mount addtional speakers in the rool hoops....2 speakers just dont cut it

I was also going to get that HU but didnt for 3 reasons:
1.) I have an iphone and whenever Apple decides to update it, the items that connect using the dock almost always stop working
2.) I was worried about my phone getting too hot in there although im sure it will be fine
3.) I wanted to control the music using my phone and not the knob since i like having the radio door closed. So i went with a HU with an AUX port and have my phone mounted using the Modifry mount and an Akron cradle. Very "clean"



I got these yeterday:

• a cover for the center console to cover up the ugly carpet that the 01's have.
• AP2 coil cover (just like the looks )

And these should be waiting for me when i get home:

• Shiny new Blox shift knob....490 grams
• Rear spoiler, not the "wing" style

Im in class right now and the wait is killing me

 

Test driving (yet another) S2K next week, hoping it's in the promised condition!

'06 Laguna Blue

 

^ yes, Laguna FTW

 

I have the Modifry mount for my GPS. Installing it this weekend.

 

never seen this ipod player before. looks interesting

 

sorry for the old quote post, trying to catch up reading from the front.

this post happened to catch my attention b/c i recently read about a 5th gen prelude that was up for sale still in the middle of the showroom at a honda dealer.. they wanted over 20k for it.. not far off from new price if i recall..

and just in something related, i think some dealer in cali just sold the last "new" type-R integra a while back as well... (never sold but had 5k on the odometer) it was a service training vehicle.

i think the miles on it has more to do with it probably. more so then age at least... the S2k probably had its fair shares of test drives...

sorry for the OT!

 

Service training vehicles are iffy. I worked at a Honda training center and the exterior of the cars are mint, however wires are cut, interior panels are broken, some systems dont work...

I was told by one of the trainers there that you dont want to buy them. They require so much work to get them fully operational again. Honda also doesnt discount them a whole lot. If they cant sell them within the company, they head to auction.

That conversation stemmed from an 03 SMR CL-S 6MT w/ nav they had with about 2k miles on it. The body was absolutely perfect. The engine was in many pieces and so was the interior.

 

I wonder why? Chasing down interior rattles?

I couldn't resist.

 

LOL! Could this be "the one"? And Laguna blue is beautiful.

 

 

I miss my AP2...

 

i can sell you my 07 LBP if you pay me high enough... btw: it has about 3 bullet holes in my front bumper.

 

What?

 

He should get the 3 bullet hole discount.

BTW, Ken, did you do the deed? Are you an S2k ower?

 

I'd like to hear the story behind that one ...

Might be in the market for an LBP S2K in SoCal soon too.

 

Ken, my NFR S is for sale-take a look in the classifieds. I'll even deliver it to you

 

Nope, it looks like it has been in an accident or two, when bolts and washers don't match I get suspicious.

G, you have a great car but I don't want red.

I appreciate the offer though!

 

Look what I got to detail last week.

Before:






After:

 

Effing gorgeous. I want one.

 

Ap2 with Ap1 wheels.

 

i see snow in background. may be their winter setup

 

Yep! We were going change them but we didn't have enough time.

 

^^^^^
Seeing those pics makes me want to get my S out. Now.

Instead, I have to watch it sit under its protective cover for another 2-4 weeks at minimum, until the salt is off the roads and the weather is warmer.

 

same here
miss driving the s so much

 

^Your username gives me a headache

Pics of your AP2?

 

2006 Sebring Silver S2k at a honda dealership with 25k on the odo. listed for 21k

what should i offer?

 

yeah sorry about the username it is an older one, would change it but can't.




here she is stored for the winter

 

$19,000. Don't pay more than $19,500.

 

i agree

 

so im guessing 17 would be a steal?

 

Absolutely

 

FWIW I paid $18,500 for a '06 with 25k miles in October so maybe you could get it for less.

 

phee: Buy mine and I'll deliver it for you.
