We just picked up our 2004 S2000 last night and been having a blast with it. Been searching for a few weeks for the right one, and finally found it. Will just be used as a fun 3rd car for us mostly. Sad thing is we own a civic just about the same exact color as this one. Car is going to stay stock, as I have had several heavily modded cars in the past, and I want a stock reliable car now

I plan to come to some of the meets soon, but unfortunately will be in the mountains next weekend snowboarding for this one.

I come from owning various DSM's for 10 years now, so the N/A thing is strange to get used to! (I co-own/run carolinadsm.com)

Some of the past cars I have owned
-1997 Eclipse GS-T GT35R turbo, built motor, 501WHP on a dynopack dyno about 4 years ago
- 2 1991 Auto Automatic AWD Talons that had T67DBB tubos
- Just sold my 1991 Galant VR4 that went 8.0 @ 91 in the 1/8 on a pump gas tune

Anyways, here is a few pics of the car. Has 47k on it.

Too funny - I've been half-seriously looking for a Galant VR-4. Anyway, welcome aboard.

Welcome! Doesn't look like there is much room in the garage for the S.

That is a valid excuse to miss the meet. I was boarding today myself.

Nice car!!

Welcome to the forums! Be sure to come out to the meets sometime. You'll find we are a pretty tight-knit community!

And I would never say never on the modding. Yours reminds me of mine when I got it:



But oh how things change with time....




Remember... Modding doesnt have to be all about ricer wings and stickers. Everything you see on that car is Honda OEM. Well, maybe not the window tint. There are some things you cant see that aren't Honda, and maybe some more to come. But I would never rule out some tweaks here and there.

Welcome again!

When I say mod OEM stuff doesn't really count to me! I may do a couple little things like that, but nothing like exhaust or anything.

Thanks guys!
