My goal for this car was to build a track day car that was reliable, fun, and fast on track, but also comfortable on the street and not look like a ratted out track car. Friends joke that this car looks like a show car more than a track car because of how clean it looks. But on track this car shines and always impresses everyone. I’m not even close to the fastest S2K drivers, but fast enough to make people question what’s under the hood of the car once we make it back into the paddock. The car is super capable on track, completely balanced, and such a joy to drive. I’ve hired pro drivers to private coach me on a few occasions and they have commented on how balanced and fun this car is to drive. I’ve owned an E92 M3, Cayman GT4, and Ford GT350 alongside this car, have driven them all back to back with the S2K and this car is just as fun as them all. It’s also very tolerable on the street for a car that does so well on track. The seats are extremely comfortable yet super supportive, I have factory belts installed on the driver and passenger side so you don’t need to wear the 6-point harness on the street. The Ohlins suspension is completely compliant and you can make the car as soft as you want. With the wing and expensive parts, I wouldn’t call it a daily driver, but it makes a fantastic weekend and errand car as well as a track car.

I’m selling this car because I have 3 kids and have noticed with each kid I’ve spent less and less time on track. I’ve also gotten seriously into mountain biking and instead of thinking about when my next track day is going to be I’m thinking about when the next time I’m going to go on an epic ride. It’s also a hobby I can share with my kids at a younger age instead of spending a day on my own without my family at the track. That’s not to say I’m giving up going to the track. I just don’t think I need a dedicated 2 seater built for a single purpose anymore.


Random Facts:

1. Second owner. (Bought at 68k miles and have all records from original owner and my own)
2. 2 keys.
3. Original owner never tracked the car. It was well kept and immaculate condition.
4. I’ve done about 10-15 track days in the car in the 4 years I’ve owned the car.
5. Full front end of the car and mirrors has clear bra.
6. Car went into a tire wall (not hard) at Laguna Seca. Just minor cosmetic damage to the bumpers and door. I replaced all parts with brand new OEM. Alignment didn’t even change from the hit. Absolutely no frame damage.
7. One small fender bender where I rear-ended an SUV at like 3 mph. Just had to replace bumper, fender, and headlight (all new)
8. Never ran slicks on the car. Always ran RS3/4’s or RE71R’s.
9. Everything on the car is OEM or original. No replica parts. I have receipts for pretty much every part purchased. Most of the JDM parts were purchased from Evasive Motorsports or GoTuning.
10. Car weighed in at around 2700 lbs with about a 1/3 of gas the last time I corner balanced it.
11. Car dyno’d at 225whp when it was tuned by Jei at Blacktrax. For reference stock S2000’s dyno there at around 195hp.
12. I have tons of extra parts that go with this car. Too many to list completely. But everything goes with the car. Some of the notable items are: Couple steering wheels, Factory Hood, Tein gas hood struts (for the factory hood), brand new J’s racing rear roll center adjusters, brand new spoon rigid steering collars, and extra maintenance items like oil filters and washers for fluid changes. This car passes smog in Texas, but I still have the factory air box, headers, and cats if you need to pass smog in more strict locations. I also have the factory driver’s side air bag (no wheel).
13. The car has never been launched. The drivetrain is all completely stock. Even the clutch is still original and going strong. I removed the CDV because it felt terrible (like the clutch was slipping with every shift), but I know the factory diff on this car isn’t the strongest so I’m always easy on the car from a stop.
