Default New S2000 owner

After months of searching for a replacement for my '04 STi, I finally decided on a white/red '01 S2000 with 42k miles. Couldn't have made a better choice!

Loving the S2000, and surprising for me being a big guy I fit damn near perfect. It's just tight enough where I can't move around much. but not too tight. Absolutely love the steering and brakes, and especially the convertible

She's bone stock for now. I don't have many plans -- mainly suspension and then a roots-type blower (if there is even one made for the S2K?) My goal is 275rwhp, with awesome handling and superb driveability.

I bet you miss the off the line performance coming from an STI

There are no roots type blowers for the S2000 only centrifugal/turbo style superchargers although a roots blower is what it really needs to add the power down low where it's lacking. Welcome

I'm actually not missing much from the STi. I was never able to get on it because it got 15mpg! 250aw torque WAS nice, though!

Welcome !!! The white/Red is the best combination color IMO. Drive safe and hope to see you in some future meets.
