90 toyota camry
89 toyota corrolla sr5 coupe
03 ford probe gt
96 bmw z3
1998 mistubishi eclipse GST
1999 Chevy Tahoe sport
2001 Acura CL Type S
2003 350z
1999 Volvo s80
2004 toyota 4runner
2007 bmw 335i

:what: :what: Damn dude! It's too believe you'd get bored of a Carrera GT!! :annoyed:

zeroday 02-25-2008 10:12 PM

I'm the same way, since 1998 I've bought 6 new vehicles. I'm hoping that due to me not driving much and the S2000 being an awful lot of fun that I may actually keep it for a while.

btw, does your rear bumper looks like the color is off in certain lighting? Not that I care any more, but just curious to know. It seemed to be most apparent in the Suzuka.

Here's mine w/ my winter wheels about a month ago.

Great car. The only problem with this sucker is the oil consumption..which seems to affect mostly the AP1s. Enjoy your Suzuka Sellout.

nokiaman 02-25-2008 10:57 PM

All these S2ks are making me want one:cry:

Whats with the S2k owners all having those round shift knobs. Voodoo?

Im just so use to leather knobs.

Yessir, that's the voodoo knob. I like it more than stock - the sphere shape feels perfect in my hand!

Yah...I missed Homecoming cause I work on Saturdays...

...did you clearcoat the signature? Has it faded or began to wear away?

Never realized there were many owners on this forum...nice. Here's my S2K since it seems people are tossing them up. Its all stock, but I think one of the best combos: GPW w/ Black/Red interior. Thing was pain to find...the first one I found had a spoiler, lip, and strakes. I said no...and almost gave into a LBP, but glad I didn't cause a couple days later a plain GPW showed up.

Hmm didnt notice it too bad on the rear bumper. Its noticeable on the front bumper though...

Brandon24pdx 02-26-2008 10:32 AM

I think the 08 Berlina Black with the black/red interior is my all time fav combo so far...jesus, I'm pretty suprised Honda still sells this car after 9 MY's

Crazy Bimmer 02-26-2008 11:06 AM

^ Yep i was just saying that yesterday to someone. Im shocked this design has been out since MY2000.

Sarlacc 02-26-2008 11:29 AM

See NSX or last gen integra.

they dont change when it sells so well.

And hopefully they dont take as long as the NSX to get a new S2K out as well

GPW w/ black-red is surely one of the best combos for the S... especially for AP2 IMO! Great find... :thumbsup:

Hopefully I'll eventually get around to swapping all the interior pieces for black-red interior too ;)

I clearcoated the spark plug cover before installing it back in the engine bay. I haven't done the radio cover yet though - good call. I think if anything, that's the piece that gets more wear & tear from all the opening/closing everyday. I do try to push the cover from the sides haha :tomato: that signature is priceless!

Ken1997TL 02-26-2008 01:26 PM

300 a month for insurance? Thats insane..

As for S2k insurance, its another $400 a year for me. Big deal.

Crazy Bimmer 02-26-2008 02:11 PM

Ken, did you find one yet? :ninja:

I know you're new here, and you have a nice 300zx....but dude, it has t-tops. So, does that mean you're like a 1/4 fairy?

Walmart Gangsta 02-26-2008 05:23 PM

TommySalami 02-26-2008 05:46 PM

Depends on what year. 06+ S2000's have drive by wire, so that has to be taken into account.
