My Bargain Basement Track Toy
So, it didn't take long to be back in yet another S...number 4 now to be precise.
However, I bought it as I couldn't resist. I had a random text off a friend of a friend whilst watching the opening trailers to Furious 7 (It was a sign)...The guy wanted it gone asap and as it was past 9pm it mean't I looked at it the day after. He wanted it gone the same day and although I originally planned to sell it on it owes me such a little amount I may as well keep it as it's quite possibly the cheapest S2000 in the UK! It was an MOT failure on rear wheel bearings and the auto levelling system on the headlights, done a mere 133k miles on a Y plate and some nice rust on the rear arches finished in Silverslow of course!
The plan is to tidy it up enough to get it through an MOT, sort some new tyres or 17's with tyres and fit the coilovers I've still got as I wasn't prepared to sell them for peanuts! I'm then just going to enjoy it as a track day and B road toy until the engine goes bang (which could be sooner than later!).
I'll post some pics if people really want to see it...but its just another S really albeit looking a little tired.

It won't be lengthy really CJ as the condition it's in means I don't want to spend too much money on it. I may polybush it if the geo is seized and its not within tolerance but other than the coilovers and maybe some different wheels, fluids changed but thats about it.
LOL will do Kim...is there a category for Tattiest S2000? If not I'll park it around the corner!
