Starting with a blank slate...
I've always wanted an S2000, but they've always seemed too expensive or too impractical for me to actually seriously consider owning one. However, the time came when I decided it was time to pick one up, so after shopping around for a while, I finally made the leap. Got a terrific deal, and very lucky to have my dream car
2007 Honda S2000
Berlina Black
bone stock (except ipod cable)
The first and second owners barely drove the car, hence its low mileage of 45xxx. The car runs great, and all service was done regularly by the dealership, with a complete paper trail.
I'm planning on modding this carefully and properly. Coming off 3 years of tinkering with Scion tCs, I've learned quite a bit about doing research and modding things right. But enough talking, on to pictures! (Not that you guys don't already know what a stock AP2 looks like.)

Well, seeing how this is my first RWD, I'm going to be taking it easy on the mods for the most part. I feel like spending money on track days will improve my driving more than some physical replacements will, especially since the S2000 is such a great car stock.
I already got the car tinted, and bought bumper plugs and an ipod adapter (to charge 4th gen nano, which have compatibility issues).
Short term plans:
McGard Seat Locks
Doctor Isotope shift knob
K&N FIPK Intake
Some sort of exhaust, considering HKS or Tanabe Touring
Pedal covers (heel-toe is rather difficult in the S since the pedals are so far apart, especially compared to the tC)
Other than that, save money like mad to pay for track/AutoX fees, and pick up new rims (probably RPF1s again, bronze) and tires (R888s) when the Potenza RE050s get old. A lip kit and coils will come eventually once I figure out what's going on
In the meantime, I'm super excited to get to work on a new car that I barely know anything about
