So after much waiting my wife and I purchased an S2000 on Wednesday. It will replace the TL I've been driving.

Purchased a 2004 Silver 61k, dealer serviced and in mint condition. $15.7 It was the best value/condition in the bay area. Just couldn't pass up this deal.

So we're selling our beloved TL. Which is also in great shape. But hey, I can only drive one car and the wife will want something next year.

It's been fun, talking cars with you guys.

Can anyone recommend a good s2000 board like this?

Rob!

Thanks!

Congrats on purchase! I was debating between a S, Altezza, or the TL myself.

Try s2ki.com as your best bet, g'luck!

Yea ive been poking around for a newer car as well. My debate is an s2k, G35 coupe, V70R, or a 3gen TL. If I keep my car, I plan on doing the 6 spd swap and paint, i'm so afraid my tranny is going to crap out.

people bash on s2k because they said its too small, but those people have not driven an s2k, jesus, its nice

i would love to get an ap2 if i had extra cash and the space to park it. very solid cars and motor is powerful.

rob-2

Thanks. Glad to know I was helpful

Looks like a good place. I have registered and already starting to ask questions

I didn't need the space of the TL anymore and so it was a logical choice for me. It's been 10 years in the making. I've always wanted one and never able to get by with 2 seats. It was a now or never. Once we have kids there will be no buying a 2 seater. But if Dad already owes one, well that's another story.

Not to say you will or anythin but if you ever total it, send me the projectors!
Have fun with the s2k..has lots of potential if you wanna go the mod route but pretty good stock as well. Stop by AZ every now n then to..just to let us know how things are goin

S2ki is a great site for s2k guys like yourself. I have a couple friends on there and its great, they hold meets almost on the daily!!! If you're free sometime and want to come through to a meet just let me know, I have a friend that goes to all of them.

lol... not to be a dick or anything, but you overpaid. or maybe you guys dont have many s2000's out there? idk, but in ny we can get em for like... 12 or 13 grand with 50k miles or so. but regardless, its a great ride. congrats bro.

Phee speaks the truth!!!

I just went to the dealership, turns out there is a power train warranty to be transferred into my name. Goes to 2011 - sweet deal.

Not sure if I'll mod it. I really like the stock look and feel. I'll change the shift lever, has a fat momo shifter. I like the ti honda one better. I would consider a brake upgrade though. Maybe some dual or triple pistons.

Picture below.

its been a week with the 2 seater,,,is she pregnant yet????
You know how it goes, get a bike and sure enough..,,get a 2 seater,,,bingo <g>

'02_TL-S

Well if you do simple engine mods, you'll like the feel better and still enjoy the aesthetics cuz you won't see most of them..even with the hood open..just sayin. Oh and dibs on projectors if anything ever happens to it! Not sayin it will and certainly not hopin for it tho...

Many congrats on the purchase man! I got a 2005 silverstone S2k 3 weeks ago. The S2000 truly is an astonishing car. I'm very happy with mine so far -- I've been having lots of fun in it. As others have said, check out s2ki.com. It seems to be the most active s2k forum on the net. There's a pretty active regional form for us Bay Area S2kers. I'm thinking about becoming a more active member and maybe going to a meet some time. I'm in SJ right now... I'll be looking for ya out on the roads!

+1, I am picking up my AP2 on the 5th and driving it back 1700 miles.

iTimmy

Congrats! I had a 2008 but traded it in this spring, it was a blast to drive, fun and reliable, on sunny days I miss it. I also recommend S2ki, a lot of great information and great members over there, I learned a LOT about the car from the forums.

I also had a fairly modest stereo in mine, I have some of the components still, if you have any interest at all let me know. There are some great options at improving the mediocre factory stereo with out breaking the bank or losing factory dash controls!

Enjoy the car in good health!

rob-2

Tom you're too funny. No she's not pregnant yet... yikes. Give us 4-5 years. I enjoy the married life minus kids right now.

My picture stopped working here it is again



I was told there wasn't much to do to the motor. Am I missing anything? I see I basically have a cold air intake, honda style and the motor maxes out the HP per-liter N/A. Would I have to put on a super charger?

Cool. My wife and I might drop by a meet but only if it doesn't turn into a race event. I'm not interested in getting a ticket or hit by some bad drivers.

Hey man, I'll see you on the forum!

Hey, I would be interested. I want to keep the stock head unit but I want my ipod to work and maybe better speakers. PM me what you got and I'll run the numbers

Congrats on your S2000.

I drove mine to work today and it's such a blast to drive, especially when you get to know the limits of the car.

congrats.. it's a sweet vehicle for sure.

'02_TL-S

Well if s2ki is anything like AZ you'll def find something new once you figure out how to navigate their site..maybe it's just me but I got really lost in there. But go performance headers at least and SC or Turbo would be sweet but who has the money for that right? If you do, def go for that!! I'd go with simpler stuff like lightweight pulleys and spacers if they have em for the s2k..all the little things really add up. Plus lose the 2nd seat..just extra weight anyways..

mystikk

If you're still saying this even when you bought a new CTS-V, that's saying something about the S2K.

Congrats on the S, rob-2 .. They're still one of my favorite cars to look at.

neuronbob

^^^^^^
Yes, it does say something about the S2000. Torque may be great, but it isn't everything. Shifting at 9k rpm....there is no sound like it in all of motoring.

iTimmy

It's like comparing Apples and Carrots, each car has a very specific purpose and the are not overlapping in the least, aside from being fine representations of their specific purpose.

Congrats on the purchase.

The S2000 is still high up there on the potential "next toy" list. Can't decide if I'd rather spend the extra dough on a '04-'05 Boxster S instead.

rob-2

well guys, to tempt you more, I just did a road trip. 430 miles, 75mph, with a mountain pass. 29.25mpg. Car's rated at 25mpg.

So it's getting as good as the TL is rated for. I do run the 91oc on this motor due to it's compression of 11.1:1 and 8k red line. Some folks claim they get up to 32mpg. I'll try.

But if you were on the fence. Get off it. We're selling the TL and I'm not looking back.

oonowindoo

really show me some AP2 with 50k miles that are under $15k.

i am willing to drive to NY to get 1
