Hello everyone! Been on here for a few months but haven't got around to introducing myself. So here goes.

I was introduced to hondas about 6 years ago. Before then I thought they were dumb and unless it had 8 cylinders it was slow... Boy was I wrong. It was a eye opening experience when I started to hang out with people who had integras and civics. I was instantly hooked and had to have one. So I bought me a 97 civic coupe that already had a GSR swap, suspension, and lots of other mods. As I started to learn more and more about Honda I discovered the s2000. I had to have one! It became a goal of mine to own one. But, I wasn't in the financial position to have one yet so I stayed content with the civic. In the 4 years I've had the civic I have done a few motor swaps including a h2b turbo.

So 7 months ago I finally landed another great job. So I began to rip apart the civic again to do a full brake tuck, wire tuck, and built b16 turbo. Well I got bored with that 4 months in, just after I finished the brakes, and started to look for a new car. The civic hadn't ran in a year and my daily driver Pontiac Sunfire is getting up in age. So as I looked around I had decided to get a C5z06. Some of my friends had mustangs and modded 03 cobras. So I wanted something pretty quick so I could have fun with them. I had looked at s2000's and NSX's but thought to myself that I had to have a fast car right now and either of those won't cut it. So finally found a 04 z06 procharged with 668hp. That will do the trick!

So I go to the bank, get everything straight, and contact the owner and set up a meet for the weekend so I can look at the car. Well, I wake up the next morning and decide to just see if there were any new s2000's for sale that I hadn't already looked at. Jump onto cars.com and BAM! 1st car I see is a 2007 Laguna Blue with 15,465mi. My heart jumps as that was my favorite color! I call up the dealership to see if they still have it and 5hrs later I'm signing the papers! So I kind of bought it on a whim but the picture spoke to me. LOL.

Got it Nov. 5th 2010.


Put over 3k miles on it in 2 months! Absolutely the most fun car I've ever driven. Got to know it very well and figured out the direction I want to take it. 1st thing I had to do was get rid of the wheel gap. So I put some D2's on it last week. Not the greatest suspension, lol, but it gets the job done especially since I have don't plan on tracking the car, even though I would LOVE to.



ended up being a heck of a lot lower than I had planned!!! But the look is growing on me. Still thinking about raising it up a inch.

Sorry for the LONG intro but just felt like sharing. Look forward to seeing you guys around and thanks to my crazy work schedule I hope I will be able to make it out to a meet sometime.

Welcome!

I'm the one that spotted you at Sandhills on Friday.

I live in NE Cola and work in Lugoff, so I pass through Elgin daily. However, I'm usually in my DD (white '98 Civic coupe).

 

Welcome. Great looking S and love the color.

 

Welcome! Sharp car. Good luck with additional mods

 

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm stuck deciding between doin some more appearance mods plus exhaust and flashpro or saving for a few more months and boosting. Tough decision!

 

Maynard - were you at the Village last night. I thought I saw you around 5:30 getting out of your car. Nice car!
