So after being S2000-less for 2 years, I've decided to come back for good and keep it forever. I wasted so much time deciding if I ever really was happy with one. I never owned any other sport car and had a few Daily Drivers that kept me happy. I actually never even planned on getting one anytime soon because I still wasn't sure if I wanted an AP1, AP2, or CR if a deal ever came up. I've owned 3 AP1's and 1 AP2. I sort of decided on AP1 but it would have to be in really great condition. AP2's are really easy to find in great condition but I love the AP1 with 4.77's. Anyways, I've been looking on Craigslist/Autotrader for a few months and never found anything. Well, a few days ago, I finally found one that I was happy with buying on Craigslist.

2003, Spa Yellow, 70k miles, no dents, solid body, OEM Spa Yellow hardtop, fenders untouched, for a steal price. Can't say what route I'll be going with the car. Will enjoy it the way it is for now with a few things here and there, but I'm keeping it stockish looking or going with a little Mugen in it. It came with a Borla exhaust and I sort of like it so far. I'll update with more pics once I find something better to share pics with than Photobucket. I hate photobucket. Never mind, found FlickR.














A few things I had left over from my old S2000. Probably will go on it but not yet.

T1R 70EM



Berk 70MM testpipe



Wedsport TC105N 17x8 +42 / 17x9 +49 Wrapped on Bridgestone RE760





CURRENT PIC AS OF 3/19/2016

Welcome back, that looks like a really clean Ap1, nice find.

I'd love to hear more about the Borla exhaust, not too many S2000's running that exhaust. Good luck with the build !
