test drove both....didnt really notice much of a difference. considering i thought my 86 handled like it was on rails either of the two are great i think lol. unfortunately the person that was suppose to buy my GS flaked on me, so it might take longer than expected. I dont want to get an S2K and have payment added from previous car unless monthly was lower. oh well, i did like both and i think its just going to be a question of preference. btw anyone know of someone that wants a GS430? hehe pictured above lol

 

Dude!!!! Negcamber said everything what I was going to say! Good job bro.

Let me fill in though....

1) Inspect the leather, as our cars being top down, the ultraviolet rays beam our seats and leather use to be skin, so what does sun do to skin? Make sure it is pretty smooth, if you feel cracks or wrinkles, then most likely previous owner pull the top down too much, left the car top down, and rarely leather cared it.

2) As our car is convertible, it's converted a lot. 1 problem leads to another, since putting the top down allows the sun to hit our seats with ultraviolet rays, converting it too much also can cause holes. There are some sharp parts with the convertible mechanism that pokes the vinyl (our soft top), and leaves small holes. It's usally found at the same spots as well. Best way to prevent further poking is I basically just put velcro to cover up the holes and velcro on the sharp objects.

3) Check engine oil every week if you plan to rev it above 6000 RPM every drive, because it does burn engine oil (and you can smell it when on high RPM for along time). I was a victim of engine oil starvation, and it cost me up the a$$.

To me, those are the most important, and having a 2003 s2000, all of the ap1 recalls were already done in 2002, so your good. The 2002+ also comes with a glass rear window for your information.

 

thanks for the info man! i really appreciate it. unfortunately my search for an S2K has came to a halt for now. I have to sell this GS first before I move on.....i will still b on here reading stuff so ill be updated once I do have one. oh btw i stopped following up on honda stuff a while back. did they stop making the S2K? was the CR supposedly the last S2K they make? i just read they werent making any more.

 

funny thing is i've been looking for clean aes as a toy car as of late.. and boy those things just get more expensive.. how much did you sell yours for?

 

man...i dont even wana talk about how much i sold it for cuz it hurts me but it was def. a bargain for the buyer. just imagine. i bought the car all original 76k miles chassis/engine sold it at 96k miles with fully built suspension...and i mean everything lol...jdm exterior pieces and full interior with no cracks or torn or loose crap. /sigh it makes me cry thinking about it. so im trying to sell my GS to get another AE or an S2K

 

alright guys.... i might be trading in my GS for this particular S2K

what do you guys think? im gonna check it out today...and HOPEFULLY come home with it if you guys agree...iv started it up....theres 2 gauges and an AEM uego band gauge i think...i started it up it sounds good...didnt let me test drive it tho...were gona talk numbers..and then ill test drive it....the only thing i dont like about it is the exhaust...

 

For sure that is the car you were looking at? There is zero mention of it being supercharged in the description on the site, but that's why it has the additional gauges.

Looks pretty clean though! Doesn't seem like a bad deal at all for a supercharged s2000 as long as it runs well.
