Default alek's intro

Hello all.

My name is Alek. I'm 22. College student at Purdue.

I'm coming from a Stage 1.5 2013 Veloster Turbo. Was putting down around 280whp and over 300wtq. Car was a blast! The 13s a notorious for low speed pre ignition. My engine popped....and here I am.

I've wanted an S2000 every since I first drove my brother in laws back in high school. Every time I went to get a different car, an S2000 always crossed my mind but it just didn't happen. It was finally time. 2005 Silverstone. 1 owner. 35,000 miles on it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Be careful in the snow! No traction control on the pre 06 models.

I was looking at Dunlop's 4D for the winter although we don't get half as much snow here as you guys there.
Eventually ended up buing NOKIAN WR A3 - superb winter tyre - same grip like the Dunlop but better consumption. Have a look!

Congrats on your new car!
Enjoy!

Nice, congratulations on the purchase, I have an '05 Silverstone as well! Enjoy the car, I can't wait to drive mine when it gets warmer out.

We don't get a ridiculous amount of snow here but worth the investment. I'll pick up a different set of wheels once the weather clears up and the stockers will be my dedicated winter wheels.
