Default 2005 Silverstone/Red - New Owner

Well after 6 previous Hondas I have finally found my way into an S2000.

Picked up this '05 car on Saturday and thoroughly loving it already;




Needs a new roof and O/S light cluster, wheels could do with a refurb but are likely to be replaced, but otherwise it seems a good clean car bought from a member on here.

Previous Hondas were as follows;

The one which started it all back in '02, Civic 1.5LSi;


'96 JDM DC2 with a load of Mugen kit;


'94 EG6 Civic SiRII;


'02 DC5 ITR;


'03 CTR 30AE - heavily modded with JRSC, Quaife diff, Tein coilover, Stoptech 4 pots etc etc;


'00 JDM DC2 Type-Rx - Lightly modded;


Its been an interesting journey with some great cars from Honda, but already I am starting to think the S2k is my favourite.

I am well versed in using the search function which has proven useful already and hopefully I can get to a few meets

here's my anthracite on silverstone wheels, just food for thought!

these are 2 years old now and still flawless so don't listen to everyone about diamond cutting not lasting!
