Introduce yourself here! Part II
#1782
Guess I'll put in my intro here. I've lurked for the better part of 3 years and finally decided to make an account. Mostly just searching for maintenance info and following some builds here and there. I've had my 2007 AP2 for about 2 1/2 to 3 years now and little things aside it's been the best car I've ever owned. Love it. As far as the car itself, it's pretty much stock. I'm hoping to mess with it a little bit over this next year.

Hi Guys,
Im the original and only owner of n AP2 2003 Model Berlin Black with Light Tan interior in Sydney Australia. My car is pretty much stock and has done very low mileage 120,000km. Looking at refreshing it with new soft top and floor carpets.

I'm a VERY picky person when it came to buying an S, and have been actively looking for one for over a year. Well, I can finally say that search ended! As of a few days ago, I'm the proud, second owner of this gorgeous 2006 GPW. It's completely stock except for LED fogs (which I plan to remove) and an aux cord. It's driving on Conti DW's and it's been beautifully maintained and came with a few goodies, including a dust cover and the service manual. It was such a great find, and after such a long time of looking, I flew down to Dallas to snatch it and drove it back to Boston! Love, love, love it! Even after that long drive back, I'm itching to get back behind the wheel. So hello everyone, and here's to 2017!

I can't ever remember if I ever posted up in a thread like this, I swear I did at one point - but my memory (I'm just shy of 30, lol) is not as good as I'd like for it to be.
The S is my 9th car I've ever owned, purchased it back in 2012 with only 7,000 miles on the odometer:
August/September 2012
^ the above is within a month or two of ownership, I decided to do just the OEM ap2 front lip and dropped it on Swift Spec-Rs.
I left it untouched like that until mid-2015.. but since I don't want it to be a build thread/jack, this is how Banana Boat sits now.
^this was prior to the side and front splitter installs
hardtop off
(not sure why the above colors are a bit off - more can be found on: HKMediaChicago)
Thanks for checking in.

Hi guys! Just recently purchased a 2001 S2000. Love this car so far and already changed out the coilovers and upper control arms Front and Rear. Looking forward to being apart of this community!

Greetings from CA
I've just been creeping from forum to forum trying to get new ideas for my car. I've had it for like a year and a hAlf and have not had the chance to do anything to it (money problems). But the car is so dope and I finally get to do the things I want

Stock 2000 S2K, 16k miles
Hi everyone. Privileged to be here.
With four children, we had to wait a while for a 2-seater, but the time finally came, and we are now the proud second owners of a silverstone 2000 S2000 with 15,980 miles. It was completely stock and had been stored in a garage and under a cover for years.
I had a dealership bring the recalls and routine maintenance current, and did some of the catch-up work myself. It was nearly perfect, needing only fluid changes, mild rotor resurfacing, and a new serpentine belt. The cabin filter was disgusting after sitting for so long! I daily drive it, amd have put about 500 miles on it so far.
We believe that cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. We don't see the joy in reaching old age with a lightly used toy that's worth a lot of money. The point of money is to buy either time or experiences, so we're going to experience this amazing car as much as possible!
It's a dream come true, and we'll never sell it. We intend to keep it fully stock. It'll be out for a few Chicago-area autocross events per year.
Previous cars included the following:
Chevrolet Celebrity sedan
Mitsubishi Eagle wagon
1980s Datsun pickup (with Z engine)
2001 Mercury Villager
1999 Nissan Maxima
2001 Volkswagen Golf 1.8T 4-door
2003 Honda Odyssey
2000 Honda Prelude
2009 Toyota Highlander
2013 Audi A4
2015 Audi S5
